At last, a holiday song for vegetarians! Hear what critics are calling "the most overstimulating 2 minutes since your uncle made that concerning toast at Thanksgiving dinner".An outtake from Trevor Goober's upcoming holiday EP, "Traditional Christmas Carols for Normal People".

Recently I asked people for another batch of ridiculous ideas for Christmas songs. I got over 70 suggestions and rather than just choose one I decided to do multiple songs and release an EP. The Ridiculous Christmas EP is now available featuring this and three additional tracks. This song was suggested by Scott Morgan who said "How about a parody of Eminem's Stan, writing to Santa?" My first inclination was to reject it because this is a good idea, not a ridiculous idea, but I kept coming back to it. Then I googled to see if anyone else had already done it and yes, several had, including SNL. So I rejected it again. But I couldn't get it out of my head. Eventually I said screw it and just started writing. I got a few other suggestions for songs that I didn't make into full songs but I did use as individual lines in this song. Those were from Steven Shilling and Roberta Maher and are called out in the lyrics. Lyrics: Tom Rockwell Music: Trevor Morgan Vocals: Tom Rockwell, Whitney Morgan, Chris Mezzolesta Parody of "Stan" by Eminem

A song for the next mayor of NYC and his haters.

"Most people don't know the words to Deck the Halls, so they just go falalalala. I find that disrespectful to Christmas, so I sing all the words. Like this." M. Spaff Sumsion: Concept and falalalyrics Macy Lund: Vocals Robert Lund: Vocals, instruments, production, what have you. "Deck the Halls" has 1862 lyrics by Thomas Oliphant to "Nos Galan," a 16th-century Welsh carol. (New lyrics to an existing melody? Can you even do that?)

When Paula Cole released her breezy country/Americana ballad "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?" in 1996, she was irritated by the fact her fans missed one key attribute: She'd meant it to be ironic. This tidbit was largely overlooked by her fans, the critics, and even Wikipedia, which notes: "The first two verses explore infatuation and discovery; a bridge expresses disillusionment, and a final verse changes to despair." (Kind of a metaphor for our entire music career, actually.) Of course, that's Wikipedia for you - and looking at the rest of the entry, I'm hard-pressed to find anything else they got right about this song, either. Much like our version. So why the confusion? Maybe, back in the 90s, people didn't know what irony was, until another song came along to explain it: apparently, it's like rai-yeee-ain on your weddingggggg day. Glad we got that cleared up. But here's what I DON'T get. Back in the day - say around the time of Elvis - a whole lotta US states (including California) were actually part of Mexico. (We won them in a poker game.) Today, a lot of American citizens in those states can actually trace their lineage back to that time. So the fact that our government is deporting citizens from states they no longer like anyway, and which used to be Mexico, back to modern-day Mexico, smacks of irony to me. ~ Bob Bad hombres: M. Spaff Sumsion: Lyrics Zelda Pinwheel: Lead and backing vocals Chris Mezzolesta: Kokomo vocals, epilogue Bob Emmet: Concept, all instruments, production, etcetera

While Super Mario was my favorite video game franchise growing up, Zelda replaced it pretty quickly once I discovered Twilight Princess and Wind Waker in the late 2000s. Thiis was followed by about a decade of not having a functioning Nintendo system, but when I bought a Switch I mostly played Breath of the Wild and now mostly Tears of the Kingdom. I'd already written a song about older Zelda games years ago, which I was fortunate to have played on the Dr. Demento show, but every once in a while I'd wonder why I'd spent so much time playing the open world games without writing a song about them. And yet nothing came to mind until Pink Pony Club had been one of the most popular songs in the United States (and probably the world) for a while and it spent a good deal of time running through my head, and then I came up with the basic idea of how the inventory (Link's Load of Stuff) in Tears of the Kingdom seemed too heavy for even the strongest of heroes to carry. It took a while from the moment of inspiration until finishing, but it's here now and I hope you like it. As should be apparent, it's not me on the vocals, but someone I've hired before to anonmously provide vocals for parodies I've written.

As always when Kim Jong Duh is in (what's left of) the white house, the scandals and nightmares come far too quickly and numerously for me to keep up. This song is about air traffic horribleness from earlier this year... and it seems appropriate to drag it out now, with the air traffic controllers on furlough (which might be over before this song gets to you). Oh well. You know me... I have to parody this classic John Denver song every few years. I think this is the fourth one. Wow. Music: John Denver Words: SG and Niamh Bagnell Guitar, mandolin, bass, piano, arrangement, production: SG

Oh no! Republicans have learned our secret, that millions of supposed protesters are actually hired agitators and haters who only care about getting paid by George Soros. As long as they're on to us, we might as well let them hear our 'leader' lay out our rules, in song

A song about how our body betrays us. Erin wants you to know that everything in this song is true (even the part about hurting herself painting) except the bleeding, which Rand added because he couldn't resist adding another rhyme. And yes, the chorus was borrowed from Parks and Recreation.

This is both a parody and a cover song! The original parody is by our beloved Filker King, Tom Smith. Go to Tom Smith's bandcamp page to listen to the orig... er, the parody. In the process of getting ready to participate the Filker Song Swap "Cover to Cover: volume 3" various artists albums (organized by fellow Fump artist Madison Metricula Roberts), the randomizer happened to choose that I should cover a song by fellow Fump artist Tom Smith. I was given a choice of 2 songs, but of course I picked the one that is a parody of a song from my favorite musical, "The Pirates of Penzance" by Gilbert and Sullivan (the original song being officially entitled "Oh Better Far to Live and Die" but probably better known as "Pirate King"). Anyway, you should really look up the Filker Song Swap albums as well! They're on Bandcamp and several other locations. And then I asked Luke Ski for help getting a group of people together to do backing vocals, but he did such a good job on them by himself that I no longer felt an entire group was needed! And in case you somehow didn't figure this out, the subject matter of the song is Jack Skellington, the lead character of the 1993 Tim Burton stop-motion Halloween film "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Instrumental (real accordion and a Suzuki Andes 25F recorder keyboard!!), mixing and mastering by the wonderful Joe Jakubowski. Lyrics by Tom Smith. Lead vocals by Carrie Dahlby. Backing vocals and "gobble gobble" sound effect by Luke Ski.

At some point it's gonna happen. Will you be ready?

When I discovered that Weird Al was actually on the bill at the most eclectic festival lineup I'd ever seen ("I can see Agnostic Front and Weird Al on the same day?!?" was my initial response) I had to drop "Start a Pac-Man-related cult" from my bucket list to make room for "participate in a Weird Al pit."* This has been one of many situational exceptions I've had to make to my well-documented "Too Old For The Pit" rule. I made perhaps too many exceptions during the weekend of Riot Fest, as my ribs remain bruised (presumably from Sunday's Screeching Weasel prancings,) but I appear to have survived. Highlights that I was unable to fit into the song: 1. A dude dressed as a banana in said pit 2. A dude dressed as Jesus in said pit (I told him "Hey! I read your book!") 3. Moshing to "Ricky." Seriously. "Ricky." 4. Watching Steve Jay and Jim West occasionally take photos of said pit 5. Watching a dude on the edge of said pit explain to his teenaged daughter the cardinal rule of "someone goes down, you help them up." Felt that in my soul. Special thanks to Al, whose birthday is next week. And also to my wife, for encouraging me to go to this thing. And to MC Lars for absolving me of the inadvertent theft of his "damn, son" bit. And to Dr. Demento for the years upon years of support...it just hit me that this is the first song I've ever released that has NO chance whatsoever of being played on the Dr. Demento show. But damned if he didn't end the show strong as hell, and on his own terms. (Barry, if you're reading this, all the best in your retirement.) * Apologies to anyone who has already converted their worldly posessions to tokens in anticipation of said cult. No refunds.

As I'm sure everyone who frequents this site already knows all too well, The Dr. Demento Show comes to an end this weekend after 55 glorious years of mad music and crazy comedy. And what better way to pay tribute to such a momentous finale than by attempting to recap the entire history of the good doctor's show - and thus, ostensibly the entire history of comedy music itself - into an eight-and-a-half-minute parody of Don McLean's classic rock staple "American Pie?" From the recently-released compilation album Fruits of the Smogberry Trees: The FuMP's Tribute to Dr. Demento, this song was a true labor of love. Barret Hansen, aka Dr. Demento, has enriched my life and livelihood far more than I can easily express, but this song was my attempt at expressing it anyway, and I hope you all enjoy it. Above all, don't you ever DARE forget to STAY DEEEEEEEEEEMENTED!!!!

Sometimes you just gotta vent for a minute. Or, well, a minute and 12 seconds. ("Orwell." Ha.) Perhaps you know the original. The parody was dreamed up (i.e., waking-nightmared up) by Spaff, and all the music and vocals were performed by Robert Lund. Both of whom, by the time you read this, will probably have been deported to Uganda. Hopefully the capital has an Abbey Road.

"All good things come to an end." I really despise that saying, but I'm afraid it's undeniable. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way as the Good Doctor (with the help of Jeff Morris) puts together his final two shows. The Doctor Demento Show has been a hugely important part of my life since I first tuned in back in the 1970s, under the covers on a Sunday night when I was supposed to be asleep. His devotion to all things musical and to all things silly had never been (and will never be) equaled. Thank you, Barret Hansen, for everything you've dedicated your life to. And another thank you, Doctor, for playing (and premiering) this song as part of your penultimate broadcast on October 4, 2025. I didn't think I'd ever get another new song on your show, but you and Jeff squeezed this in, and I really appreciate it! And speaking of Jeff... Jeff Morris kindly and patiently worked with me on this while in the midst of the busiest period imaginable. Huge thanks to you Jeff, for all you do in the name of deeeeeeeeeemented music!

Parody of "Ordinary" by Alex Warren about a zombie apocalypse

Just a song about a humble wiener dog trying to do his best.

I Made It with Cartoon Characters (It's Weird but Not Atrocious) (parody of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from Mary Poppins) Music by The Sherman Brothers New lyrics by Sulu Special thanks to : the great Luke Ski (the inspiration behind this song) Christopher Bay Jeff Morris (for technical and audio assistance) Michael Lestatkatt (for technical and audio assistance) Mike Kieffer Steve Goodie (for sharing his stage with me, allowing me to debut the song in front of a live audience)) David Vasquez and Jeff Lewis at Moonlight Studios L.A. (production) And last but not least: Dr. Demento (Beh) I've always been a loyal fan of cartoon characters of the 1960s and '70s, and wondered what it would be like to have them be my friends. I always fantasized about jumping into an animation reel with them. Ha ha! the great Luke Ski was always doing funny cartoon-related songs, which served as inspiration for me, as well as current movies and TV series about modern cartoon characters. I decided to spice up the lyrics and take my fantasy friendships up a notch!

Peeping Tom

Mother nature wants us dead. Some of us more than others. From the album "Off Brand."

A creator of FuMPy music's life is an eternal tug-of-war between our desire to be good at music and our desire to obsess over the videogames, anime, and other nerdy hobbies that lead us down this dark path. Nerd Regrets is an ode to one of those sides losing. As I spend more and more time trying to master the craft of playing geeky music, I have spent less and less time immersed in the geeky cultures inspiring the music. It is a litany of failure in under two minutes

Vigeland Park in Oslo was filled with life.No: Trærne strakte seg mot himmelen, mens solen kastet myke skygger over de berømte skulpturene.En: The trees stretched towards the sky, while the sun cast soft shadows over the famous sculptures.No: Sindre gikk sakte langs de buede stiene med Balder, den trofaste labradoren sin, som snuste nysgjerrig på hvert hjørne.En: Sindre walked slowly along the curved paths with Balder, his loyal Labrador, who sniffed curiously at every corner.No: Sindre hadde nylig flyttet til Oslo, og denne morgenen føltes stille og fredelig, akkurat som han foretrakk

For the FuMP's Tribute to Dr. Demento, I wanted to write an original song about what the good Doctor's show meant to me, and how it has influenced pretty much my whole life. I wouldn't be writing and performing comedy music, I wouldn't have the friends and relationships I have, and I wouldn't be where I am, let alone who I am without his show and his influence. So thank you Barry...all of this is your fault. And I mean that affectionately. Lyrics and Vocals: Insane Ian Music: "Pico and Sepulveda" by Felix Figueroa and His Orchestra, as covered by Power Salad, and then sampled by Trevor Morgan

It's finally here! Fruits of the Smogberry Trees: The FuMP's Tribute to Dr. Demento is now available in the store, and this is the closing track. Members of The FuMP got together to write and record new verses for the all-time classic song "Shaving Cream" by Benny Bell, and got special permission to include Benny's own vocals in this song from a special appearance he made on The Dr. Demento Show in the 1970s. Music, background vocals, and production: Chris Mezzolesta Vocals and new lyrics (in order): Benny Bell, Insane Ian, Carrie Dahlby and Alexann, the great Luke Ski, Bonnie Gordon*, Tom Smith, Devo Spice, Carla Ulbrich, Worm Quartet, Power Salad** *Lyrics by Devo Spice **Lyrics by Benny Bell, mostly Special thanks to Joel Samberg.

There are certain people whom we'd rather not interact with daily but must, usually not by our own choice. This is for them. From the album "Off Brand."

Hi. Spaff here. Some kids want to grow up to be President or cure cancer. My goal was to get a song on the Dr. Demento Show. I listened to it faithfully every Sunday night, often with headphones so my mom wouldn't overhear songs like "Making Love in a Subaru." In the early 2000s I somehow convinced Robert Lund, a Salt Lake radio personality, to record some of my song parody ideas, all of which I immediately sent to Dr. Demento. On November 28, 2004, he played "I Want Some Plastic Surgery for Christmas." I was giddy. Robert and I have since collaborated on over a hundred songs, and Dr. Demento has played a number of them. I remain giddy. So here's another. It's a tribute to Dr. Demento via a list of songs from the days he hooked me. (Needless to say, he has played countless more effing awesome comedy songs in the intervening years, some of which were created by the people reading this.) It's a parody of "Ripple," a song the Grateful Dead wrote and recorded in 1970, the year Barret Hansen became Dr. Demento. Pass the claret to me, Barret! May you forever stay demented. ~~~ CREDITS: Turns out Robert owns mandolins (plural) and has played them his whole life. Also he sang and played guitar and produced this recording. "Ripple" has lyrics by Robert Hunter and music by someone named Jerry Garcia. Dr. Demento brought all of these comedy songs to our attention, and the legendary titles listed here are the brain children of their various legendary parents. BUT I DID EVERYTHING ELSE.

A musical plea from teachers, before the school year begins

The Disney+ "Star Wars" TV series titled "Andor" recently finished its 2nd and final Season to much well deserved critical acclaim. I, the great Luke Ski, a fan of the "Star Wars" franchise since the first movie was released when I was 3 years old, very much enjoyed this series set in the years leading into the events of the film "Rogue One", which itself was set leading into the events of the aforementioned 1977 movie. That said... ...there was something about this show that set it apart from other "Star Wars" movies and shows of the past / since, and something that happened in Season 2 (or more accurately didn't happen) that really underscored that difference. So I decided to write this sketch in which droid K-2SO asks Rebel Captain Cassian Andor an important question that I felt was left unanswered by the series. Editing, Mixing, and Mastering - Imperial Sound Supervisor Chris Mezzolesta Much love and respect to - Alan Tudyk, Diego Luna, Tony Gilroy, and the writers, cast, and crew of "Andor" PS: To Alan and Diego, if you ever wanted to take the script for this sketch (click the 'lyrics' button to find it) so you two could perform a reading of it live at a convention event or something, you have my permission and eager encouragement to do so. I also threw together a quick VIDEO for this sketch, which is here: https://youtu.be/gDgjf3wmnxY
