Subject: RE: Novelty Songs & Car CD players
Anything connected with Dr. Demento can be classified as a novelty or comedy record. He plays novelty records on his syndicated radio show. He publishes and sells compilations of novelty records as CD's. (A lot of them are made by "one-hit wonders"; you probably wouldn't want to buy their albums.) He publishes playlists from his radio show on his web site. And I don't know what-all else he might have.

The one thing you CAN'T find out on his web site is what stations carry his program. He says, "Unfortunately we cannot provide a specific list of stations that actually air our show, due to the policy of the network that carries our program." What's up with that?

But there seem to be lots of fan sites devoted to Dr. Demento. Maybe one of them has some information. Click here to do a Google search on "demento".

Dr. Demento has been mentioned many times in the Mudcat forum, often in the context of discussing a particular song, so a SuperSearch might help you.
