DEMENTO'S FUNNY 25 OF 2011!!! Also, "WALKINGSILLY" was #13, and "ELEVATOR" by Cirque du So What? was #22! Listen to the show here: drdemento.com/online.html . I posted my annual color-coded overanalyzation of Dr. Demento's Funny 25 at my livejournal here: lukeski.livejournal.com/707419.html . I'm not posting everything from that breakdown here, just the most pertinent stuff... So, this year I had 2 tracks on the list (#1 and #13), and Cirque du So What? had 1 (at #22, congrats ShoEboX on writing the best track on our 2nd album), and the FuMP overall had 10 tracks on the list. Also, I'm very happy to see Insane Ian hit #7, and Flat 29 hit #6 (they also appear in #13 and #22). And in case you think I was just glossing over and burying the lead here, I'll say it again: "SNOOPY THE DOGG" BY THE GREAT LUKE SKI IS #1 ON DR. DEMENTO'S FUNNY 25 OF 2011!!! You have no idea how happy this makes me. Born from an idea I found from my first list of song parody ideas in an old notebook from 1993, this song proves that good ideas don’t die, they are diamonds in the rough waiting to be found again. Thank God I saved all of my "too much stuff". Hoarding FTW! :D Thank you Dr. Demento. Thank you to my fans. Thank you to Jared Ringold, Bob Emmet, Carrie Dahlby, Chris Mezzolesta, Insane Ian, and the Stacey for contributing your extreme talents to "Snoopy The Dogg". Thank you Calvin "Snoop Dogg" Broadus. And thank you Charles Schulz, my first idol who inspired me to create things. Also, thank you to Dan from Flat 29 and Bob Emmet for making "WalkingSilly" as awesome as it is. Thank you to ShoEboX, Devo Spice, and Chris Mezzolesta for Cirque du So What?, one of the most artistically satisfying things I have ever done. And thanks to my lovely, beautiful, and tolerant wife Sara Trice, who puts up with me and all of the dementia music, podcasting, convention-hopping, puppet-making, etcetera everything that I do. I love you. Along with "Peter Parker" (2002) and "Stealing Like A Hobbit" (2003), I have written and performed 3 songs that have been #1 on Dr. Demento's Funny 25 Countdown. The only artist who has more than me is "Weird Al" (he has 4, or 5 if you count the differing L.A. local Dr. D shows). That makes me feel pretty damn good about myself. :) If you're going to go out, go out on top... "But it was along side these other musicians that Luke realized he had a purpose in life – to be better than them." ~ Devo Spice, 2010, from the liner notes of "the great Luke Ski: Greatest Hits Volume 1: 1996-2003" ...Yes, I'm stroking my ego here. Cut me some slack. This is the last time I will have a #1 song of the year on "The Dr. Demento Show". Probably. Thanks again, everybody. My heart is filled with warmth and love today. "Happiness is a warm puppy." – Charles Schulz ~ Luke Ski, 12/31/11 ~~~ - "SNOOPY THE DOGG" ALSO #1 ON MAD MUSIC TOP 100 OF 2011!!!

So, go give it a listen here: www.madmusic.com/playlist.aspx?show=AOTA-111112 ~~~ - LUKE & CARRIE'S BAD RAPPORT Episode #055 – Think About Goats In this episode we play a lot of great comedy music recently posted at the FuMP by the great Luke Ski, Scooter Picnic, Devo Spice, and Ookla the Mok, as well as a couple of funny tunes by Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff and Jessica Frech. In News of the Stupid we report on culinary counter-insurgents; Luke rants about dumb public speaking cliches, the non-obscurity of Yukon Cornelius, and post-hypnotic suggestions planted in 22-year-old music videos that still trigger a Pavlovian response in him to this day; and Carrie talks about DuhanCon, the hotness of David Tennant, and tells Sarah about her magical nipple mole. You know, the usual. Thanks for a great 2011, we’ll see you all on the other side of the calendar.

Over a year and a half after the video debut of our truncated yet puppet-tastic episode of our podcast "Luke & Carrie's Bad Rapport", we at long last have finally finished our follow-up episode, and this one is even more chock full of awesome comedy songs by some of your favorite acts from the FuMP! We also have News of the Stupid, we meet the respective spouses of Luke & Carrie, and we reinforce the supposition that some of these comedy music acts should probably look into getting a restraining order against Luke Ski considering how much time he puts into making fanboyish tribute music videos of their songs without their knowledge. [Warning: Some NSFW language, you might want to wear headphones just to be on the safe side]. Episode length: 17:58.

Since Adam has done a couple of sequels to his song, I thought it would be a-propos to update and extend mine for "It's A Fanboy Christmas 3: Return Of The Magi" for the holiday season of 2010. However, when I got done writing the song, the new vignette was much too long for the already nearly 12-minute medley, so I decided to save it and make it into its own 2-minute song to post this year on the first night of Chanukah 2011. Music by Bob Emmet. Video by Donald "Dr. Don" Coleman: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jShjnLfNUOY I hope you all like it and will share it with your friends online.
