Dead Puppies / Ogden Edsl
A novelty-record appreciation post riffing on ‘They don’t make them like that anymore’ — creativity should be singular in action, starting with Ogden Edsl’s ‘Dead Puppies.’
Dr. Demento
The Ballad Of Irving / Frank Gallop (1966)
Frank Gallop’s 1966 novelty song ‘The Ballad of Irving’ — the story of the 142nd fastest gun in the West and a Dr. Demento staple. Worth another spin.
Rock ‘n’ Roll Doctor / Travesty Ltd.
A novelty-record post on Travesty Ltd.’s ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Doctor’ — sometimes in a novelty record it isn’t the melody that hits you (there isn’t one).
Existential Blues / Tom “T-Bone” Stankus
Tom ‘T-Bone’ Stankus’s ‘Existential Blues’ — a Dr. Demento’s Funny Five entry and a testament to Tim’s love of novelty records.
I Wanna Kiss Her / Tim Cavanaugh
Tim Cavanaugh’s novelty song ‘I Wanna Kiss Her’ sparks Tim’s memories of associating movies with where he saw them — like a VHS from Parkside Video, with Jeff Miller as usher.
