I should get an award for the most distant DX listener of WLUP, no station in
NYC has the Dr so I have to rely on AM 1000.  Lately, they've been doing
Blackhawks games, then putting Buzz Killman's blues show on right afterwards,
putting the Dr into oblivion.  It's a real pain since 11pm CT is 12 midnight
ET, and if they do the Dr late at night Chicago time, it's -later- here,
I end up falling asleep listening to static (interesting during a 
thunderstorm).  Staticky Dr is better than no Dr....

WLUP, the new home of Howard Stern (known to run his own version of a 
Dickie Goodman record now and then) still carries Dr. demento, 
Saturday Night 11p - 1am Sunday morning, per call to station.

Incidentally you're not the first Wisconsinan (wisconsonian?) to report
recent trouble hearing AM1000.  But no one has clues why is this is.

Article-I.D.: usenet.Bz7IHH.GvE
Organization: Indiana University

The _More Folk Songs by Allan Sherman and Friends_ is a typical rip-off album
put out to capitalize on his instant fame in 1962.  The two Sherman tracks on
there are from a 78 that he recorded for that company (Jubilee Records) back in
1951!  It is an interesting album to have just for the historical significance
of those two tracks ("A Satchel and a Seck" [parody of "A Bushel and a Peck"]
and "Jake's Song" [parody of "Sam's Song"]).  The rest of it is predictably
not that great, though...

Now, you mention that _My Name Is Allan_ is the only of his 6 albums you don't
have.  Well, actually, he has more than 6 albums!  Here's the list as I know
it - check for what else you're missing:

Jubilee:
More Folk Songs by Allan Sherman and Friends

Warner Brothers:
My Son, the Folk Singer
My Son, the Celebrity
My Son, the Nut
Allan in Wonderland
For Swingin' Livers Only
My Name Is Allan
Allan Sherman - Live! (Hoping You Are the Same)
Togetherness

RCA:
Peter and the Commissar

Rhino:
The Best of Allan Sherman
A Gift of Laughter (Best of, Part 2)
My Son, the Greatest (CD only)

In addition, he recorded an album called _The Fig Leaves Are Falling_ as the
soundtrack to his musical of the same name, but it was never released as the
play closed soon after it opened.  However, test pressings of it are in
existance, and a single ("The Fig Leaves Are Falling"/"Juggling") WAS released.
In all, it's not his best work, but what I've heard is certainly better than
_Togetherness_, which is pretty bad...
There were also a few singles that didn't get put on albums, like "My Son,
the Vampire".  The other two that come to mind immediately are "Crazy Downtown"
and "Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh (New 1964 Version)", but those were both put
on the first Rhino compilation listed above, though in mono.  "Crazy Downtown"
does appear in stereo on the Rhino CD, however, and with a slightly extended
ending!
Lastly, he was working on an album of golf stories in 1973 before he died that
November.  It was never finished, but I would think there should be something
releasable in the vaults from it.  I'd like to see Rhino put out another CD
and add in some of this rare and unreleased stuff, but that's just me...

Oh, I do happen to have two copies of _My Name Is Allan_, one mono, one stereo.
However, the mono is in better condition, so I don't really want to sell either
of them.  I would gladly tape them for you, though, and anything else you don't
have.  I'll think of you next time I see a copy of it.  Would you accept either
mono or stereo, I assume?

WLUP is also the official station of the Chicago Blackhawks, and when there is
a game, the station tends to push everything back.  So, the blues show that's 
normally on at ~9pm gets pushed back til after the game, and Dr.D gets pushed 
back after the blues show.  This means that Dr. D often airs at 1 or 2am.  But
it is still on the air.  I guess we'll have to wait until after the hockey
season is over for dementia at a reasonable hour.

Paul,
     Your are correct. Someone else also pointed this out to me. The only time
I ever listen to this station is to hear Dr. D and the only station 
identification they give during the show is when they call themselves the
"Power D" or something like that. So I tuned in last night and listened
for about an hour. It is, in fact, the Danville station. Hope this didn't
send anyone on a wild goose chase. I guess this would be a fairly far 
stretch for anyone in Chicago to pick up.

Although some (Rush Limbaugh stands out in my mind) say she can't sing, these
critics have never heard her albums.  The first time I heard her (On Dave
Letterman, singing a song from her first album) I thougth she was awful too.
But then when I heard the actual tape, it was fantastic.  She's got an amazing
voice, and she CAN carry a tune.  Maybe she just got nervous.  I don't know,
I saw her in concert live, and she was really, really, powerful.  On TV though,
she does suck.  I don't know.

But enough about non-demented stuff here..  Allow me to ask a quick question:
For those of us unfortunate to live in a state without the Good Doctor, is
there any way to find out what songs got played?  I remember 'bout a year ago,
someone was posting the play lists from each show...

I used to be able to hear the good Dr. on WLUP AM1000 out of Chicago until
about 2 weeks ago.  All of a sudden, poof it's gone, and no idea of change
of time, or anything.  I can bearly hear the station as it is, and now they

Any Chicagonites want to let me know if they changed the time, and if so, to

Jeff Morris's predictions (December 14, 1992) for the 1992
Dr. Demento Funny 25:

First, runners-up that were very close:
8. Pencil Neck Geek - Fred Blassie
7. The Second Week of Deer Camp - Da Yoopers
6. My Dog Ate Nolan Ryan - Scary Gary Alan

4. Black and White - Whimsical Will
3. Earache My Eye (Featuring Alice Bowie) - Cheech & Chong
2. The Lumberjack Song - Monty Python
1. Dee Tirty Point Buck - Bananas at Large

Now, the actual Funny 25 predictions:
25. You Don't Bring Me Floriculturally Diverse Polyfragrant Soilistically
    Challenged Multi-Petalled Victims of Food Chain Chauvanism - The
    Capitol Steps
24. The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun - Julie Brown
23. Ti Kwan Leep/Boot to the Head - The Frantics
22. It's Alive - Bobby "Boris" Pickett
21. Help, I'm White and I Can't Get Down - The Geezenslaws
20. Existential Blues - Tom "T-Bone" Stankus
19. They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa! - Napoleon XIV
18. 7-Eleven - Led Slurpee
17. One More Minute - "Weird Al" Yankovic
16. The Sweater - Meryn Cadell

 3. Smells Like Nirvana - "Weird Al" Yankovic
 2. Ren and Stimpy - The Defective Kids
 1. The Happy Happy Joy Joy Song - Ren and Stimpy Original TV Soundtrack

So, there you have it.  These predictions are based on the weekly Funny 5s.
As always, I have managed to miss a few of the Funny 5s because of station
screw-ups, but I think the list here is a fairly good guess.  The runner-ups
are included because I think it's still possible for them to make the Funny 25
if they were on one of the times I missed.
Enjoy the countdown yourself in a couple of weeks!

WE ARE THE WORLD?! SPITTING IMAGE WAS ALLOWED TO DO A WE ARE THE WORLD
PARODY?! That's not fair, I remember way back in 1984 (?) when Ken Johnson

few notes (and worm-giggle noises)...
