Random Monday: Dr. Demento, Part 2

A couple of weeks ago, I did a Random Monday post with some memories of growing up listening to the Dr. Demento radio show.

It's hard to top classics like "Shaving Cream" or "Funny Farm" (they're coming to take me away, ha ha, ho ho, hee hee).  Or silly songs that get stuck in your head like "Fish Heads".  So if you missed that post, I'd suggest going back to it here:  http://www.musicoftheday.com/2010/10/random-monday-who-could-forget-dr.html

But I was remiss in not including any Spike Jones songs, as his novelty/comedic songs from the 40's and 50's were also mainstays of the Dr. Demento show.  I remember him regularly playing "Der Feurhrer's Face" ...




But it was the 1970's and the associated Disney/Donald Duck cartoon was buried deep in the archives of the politically incorrect, so I never did see it until I was doing a recent search ...

Ok ... that is a little heavy on the propaganda, but having heard that song almost weekly back when I used to listen to Dr. Demento, it does make me laugh.

Another Spike Jones favorite of Dr. Demento was "Clink! Clink! Another Drink!" ... I was too young to appreciate it at the time ...

Yeah, I was too young to appreciate that one, but to a 10-year old in 1976, "Gumball Wizard" was a laugh riot ...
