fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Excellent show, Captain Wayne! I apologize for it taking so long for me to get to listen to it, but you know how life comes at you fast, as they say on TV, which is what real life is based on.
Good job, and I hope you're feeling better.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I just finished listening to the show this morning. Great job, Cap'n. And Hack, good job on requesting "Heart Attack No. 5." Once again I think my giggling for no apparent reason has the people on my bus convinced that I'm an escaped, but more or less harmless, mental patient.
They don't know how close to right they are.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Great show, Wayne. I like the way that you split the songs into subtopics, too. Very well done!

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Sorry about that chief!
I just got so many requests that they couldn't all be played. I didn't single out your requests - it just worked out that way.
Hint Hint: If you call 1-800-689-8312 and leave a request, you have a better chance of getting your request played!!! Really!
Assuming I can get my hands on a copy of the song in time that is. I have over 1,000 comedy/novelty albums, but that's a small slice of what's out there (past and present).

Ah, that must be the fabulous "Stairways to Heaven" compilation. I think my favorite on that is the Beatnix version. I often play that song when I DJ a party.
It gets people everytime...

I have a whole CD of Stairway To Heaven by about fourteen artists including Rolf Harris.
Steven Green
--- HalfBee
Not sure if you've time to do a compilation medley but...
There are sooooo many variations of Stairway to Heaven by so many different groups it deserves a segment somewhere.
(take a look at playlist for 93-11)
and that's not even close to all of them

Sorry for the 1-1/2 hour delay - I had bad links on the web page (but podcatchers were okay). It's all fixed!

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d Yes, it's been played just this past week, 02-26-06, and recently 06-01-03. It started in 1984 3 plays (when the syndicated show was also on KMET). Probably more plays in LA then we have tracked right now.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d ever hear "spliceway to heaven" by the splice of life faculty? it's not a "parody" in the literal sense,but it's pretty interesting listening. it's the regular lyrics made up of clips of other songs spliced together. the guitar solos in the middle are pretty funny.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d ok i went up and down (and down and up) the thread just to be sure. not that i mind voting for ones already requested, but i like to help add to the list!
i was surprised no one has requested "adam west" by wally wingert and the caped club. it was a big song (in dementia) when the first batman movie came out!
now with that said.....
will capt. wayne play the song about the caped crusader who "never sweats"?
have we so many songs listed now that capt. wayne's head may explode?
is this the lamest parody of the batman "cliffhanger" spiel that's ever been written?
log in march 5th....
same mad website, same mad people!

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I'm guessing something like "The Ballad of Pancho Lopez" or maybe "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah." "Camp Kookamonga" is also a good guess.
--- zzyzyxrex
I wonder what the all-time most popular song parodies have been? Does anyone have any ideas? I'd think that maybe "Eat It" or "Battle of Kookamonga" have been the most popular.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d **Another vote for I Want A New Duck by Weird Al.**
When that song was in the Funny Five, I used to listen on my car radio to the Brooklyn station, because it had a reception area of about three miles. I often parked on Ocean Parkway, after a date, to hear the show because I lived too far away to hear it. When I Want A New Duck came on, I would crank up my car stereo. It was usually around 1:30AM on Monday morning. I also cranked up Psycho Chicken.
Does anyone remember the Alan Sherman song where Ocean Parkway was mentioned?

If there is such a version, yeah, play it!
--- SpongeBobLuvr
By the way, we haven't really heard any Carla Ulbrich on the show yet, so why not play the rock version of "What If Your Butt Was Gone"?

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I chose those two Rutles songs because I thought they reflected a specific song. I could be wrong since I have not heard them in years. Most of the other Rutle songs are a mix of different songs or a "pastiche", if you will.
I'm glad that you pointed out the many different types of dementia that are on this thread.
--- Tim P. Ryan
I'm seeing a lot of lyrical parodies (new lyrics), the ones we are most familiar with, and I am also seeing some musical parodies (same words, different music or like the Rutles, original lyrics and music, but much like the origianals). Some look like demented cover versions (Mrs. Miller).

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d The musical term for this is a "pastiche." Weird Al is very good at this, with songs like "Dare To Be Stupid" (a Devo pastiche) or "Mr. Popeil" (a B-52s pastiche). When "In 3-D" first came out I went nuts for a couple of days trying to figure out which Talking Heads song "Dog Eat Dog" was a parody of before I figured out it was a parody of their style in general.
The movies Spinal Tap and A Mighty Wind were both built on pastiches as well, though more of genres and sub-genres (the obnoxious metal band, the huge folk group, etc.) than of any one group in particular, although I'm told by people who followed such matters more closely than I did that Mitch and Mickey from A Mighty Wind reminded them very much of the Canadian folk duo Ian and Sylvia.

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d I second King of Suede and Shticks and Stones
Lessee here . . .
How Much Is That Houn' Dawg In Th' Winder -- Homer and Jethro
I Went To Your Wedding -- Spike Jones and his City Slickers featuring Sir Frederick Gass
What If Your Butt Was Gone -- Carla Ulbrich (a parody of her own "What If Your Girlfriend Was Gone")
This Land Is Your Land -- Jibjab (might as well irritate both ends of the political spectrum)
1955 -- Psycho Pat Schaffer
Dumbeldore -- Steve Goodie
I Want A New Duck -- Weird Al (actually about half of everything Weird Al has ever done qualifies)
A Man Named Jayne -- The Great Luke Ski (ditto)
I Wear Cologne -- The Dan Orr Project
If there's any way you can track them down I would especially like to hear one or both of the first two. They were the first two demented 45s I can remember, even back before I ever went to kindergarten.
So does this mean you're not going to play catchup, you'll just do the Aliens show next week and then on to Parodies? That works for me, I like the show but I don't want you to kill yourself over it or worse, put out crappy shows :)

fjrigjwwe9r2threads:MessageText fiogf49gjkf0d My God!!! If there is any possibiliy of hearing the Manhattan Furniture Store song again that would be fantastic. I realize if you did not grow up in Southern California you don't know what we are talking about, but Demento's KMET show played this song every week for months back in the mid-70's.
Another good one would be one a Alan Sherman's Schticks and Stones which gives you a number of short song in one 3 or 4 minute block.
