I loved Dr. Demento! I used to listen every Sunday night on WXRT, I think it was. I might be wrong, it was so long ago. I think "Dead Puppies" was probably my fave.
And when it comes to funny music, we can't ignore Warren Zevon. Werewolves of London, Excitable Boy, Lawyers, Guns & Money all qualify.
Then, borrowing from the "heart" list from a few weeks back, there's "You're Breakin' My Heart" by Nilsson.
There's also half the Mose Allison songbook. He has a great way of eliciting a laugh while simultaneously making a legitimate point about life and people. If you haven't listened to him in depth, I strongly recommend it. Especially good for laughs are the songs "Your Mind is on Vacation" (which I once dedicated to our California friend in a TtU), "I'm Not Talking" and "Ever Since the World Ended."
I'll think of more, I'm sure of it.

I thought of putting Zevon songs in there, and I probably should have. I did a Zevon podcast when I first started the podcasts, and it's about high time I did one again.
And that Nilsson song is one of my favorite songs ever. It's probably the best "fuck you" songs in history.

Oh man, I love this stuff! I have a whole bunch of Weird Al, plus Dr Demento oldies. Like Joe, I tuned in regularly. Here are five faves: Junk Food Junkie, They're Coming to Take Me Away (ha ha!), Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep, The Devil Went Down To Jamaica, and Hey Gonnorhea.
