Correct.

Ballroom Blitz was by Sweet.  So was "Love is like Oxygen"

The Starland Vocal Band.

Can't remember who did The Night...

I thought of another artist I'm pretty sure took her song to the Top Ten,
but I don't remember the name of the song.  Since we're all involved
with humor to some extent, does anyone remember the name of Tracey Ullman's
hit from a few years back?  I'm almost positive it discussed the general
topic of men (boys, boyfriends, dating, whatever.)  I barely remember the
video.

Yeah, they carry the show. My apologies to scooby on this one. They changed 
the time from 11 PM to 12 AM, and in a panic I sent a message to scooby to 
update the log. I also sent a follow up telling him I was wrong, but I 
fear he did not get it.

Once again, WPYX, 106.5 in Albany DOES carry Dr. Demento from 12 AM to 2 AM
on Sundays. (Monday morning, really)

And, yes, IT CAN BE HEARD in Troy, NY. 

Again, my apologies for the confusion.

Der Kommissar as done by Falco was never really a hit as I remember.
If you play the Falco version (in Austrian), most people won't recognize
it, but the will remember the English version that was done by
After the Fire.

The original poster made a slight error.  The actual station is WPFW, not
WFPW.  It's at 89.3 FM, and it's a listener-sponsored station.  I never
listened to it before, btw, but I _did_ catch some of the show mentioned
(I forget the name).  I set up a tape at midnight, figuring it to be an
hour show....

IT'S A THREE-HOUR SHOW.

They played a wide variety of stuff in the time I listened, including a
bit of Jonathan Winters doing "Maude Frickert", and a long spoken word
bit from Jello Biafra, whom I'd heard about, but never heard.  It was
two items, actually, one describing the Vietnam war as an amusement park
(good), and one called "What Did Reagan Know" (great).

This Sat., I'm going to put in _two_ tapes.

Okay All of you Al fans out there-- listen up!

  I was talking to one of Al's agents in NY today, just to get an idea of  
how much Al gets for one of his concerts.  I was originally under the  
assumption that Al's summer tour was over and that we wouldn't hear from  
him again until he came out with something new.  I turns out (luckily)  
that I was wrong.  AL WILL BE TOURING COLLEGE CAMPUSES THIS FALL!!!
  It seems that VH-1 has this program called One to One-- or something  
like that. And coming soon (November?), they will do eight different  
programs,just on AL.  As a promotion for the shows, Al will be touring  
various college campuses on the East Coast. I have no idea, however, if he  
will be going to locations other than the East Coast. This is the first  
time in ten years that Al will be doing a concert tour during the school  
year.
  I am tyring my hardest to get Al to U of MD-- but dates are filling up  
fast!   Here's the deal, 1)flat out, a concert will cost $15,000  (there  
is a slight possibility this could change depending on availability and  
location)   2)you must have a venue size of 500- 1000 people
3) If you are interested tell your school's program board to act fast, and  
have them give me a call if they need information.
  I have the agent's phone number if you are interested, either e-mail me  
or give me a call.

I pirated the movie off The Movie Channel many years ago, and it had the

movie.  He only recorded the theme for it.  I was completely delighted when 
I saw Weird Al's video of it.  I love that song!  The movie's great too,

I'm tired of not having Dr. D. in the NYC/LI area, and I'd like to target
some stations demanding they put the good Dr. on the air.  The new morning
guy at WBLI (Long Island) used to work for KZFX, a former Dr Demento
carrier, I don't know how much help he would be in putting the Dr. on BLI.
I've also heard that Scott Shannon (WPLJ) is a fan of the Dr., perhaps a
little prodding would put the Dr. on PLJ (would make a lot of sense, since
WPLJ is named after Frank Zappa's "White Port and Lemon Juice," kind of gives
you an idea of what they were thinking when they picked call letters way back
then).  At any rate, I'd like some feedback to these ideas, either by
mail or this group.

I want my Dr. back!  Gotta have my Dr. back!

The band that performs this song _is_ Fishbone.

	I suspect a lot of people will answer this one, but no one's done it
yet so... It was recorded by the a capella group The Bobs and is on the CD
version of their 1988 album Songs For Tomorrow Morning. It was originally
one of a string of songs the Bobs recorded for various NPR news shows.
