Title: The Greatest? Maybe not but fun nonetheless
Review: Taking recordings from as early as 1942, (Spike Jones, "Der Furhrer's Face")Dr. Demento has put together a fairly representitive collection of novelty records. As with any mix, this one has plenty of hits and misses. Classics from Tom Lehrer and the afforementioned Mr. Jones are mixed in withn the particularly lame, like the pathetic "Star Trekkin'," or the Elmer Fudd "Wappin"(Hey maybe it's just the songs that end with apostrophes-No I checked there are more) Truly different pieces are here as well like the Mr. Magoo sex tape of "Delicious," or Tom Stankus' truly mind expanding "Existential Blues." It's more fun than not, the Doctor's notes inside are worth a read and overall it represents the high and low points of the genre very well. Humor like so many things is subjective, so you'll probably know if you'll like this one before you even get it.
Is the review positive or negative?
