Novelty Records: The Doctor Is In Again!

The first Doctor Demento Hit Parade lens presented videos based on the Dr. Demento 20th Anniversary Collection. This second hit parade presents videos from the Dr. Demento 30th Anniversary Collection.

Note: Videos on YouTube sometimes disappear suddenly. If you click on a video and get a message saying it's been removed, embedding has been disabled, etc. I'd appreciate it if you'd leave a comment in the guestbook. I'll remove it from the lens and try to find something to replace it.

    Love all these songs! One of my favorites is Deteriorata which was by National Lampoon and features singing by Melissa Manchester (before she became big) & music by Christopher Guest (more than 10 yrs before "This Is Spinal Tap")!
