Time Flies When You’re Having Funny 25’s

I just realized that this is the 15th time I have cataloged points for the Top 100 (or so) Demented Hits from Doctor Demento’s annual Funny 25. Fifteen years is just a small slice of the 40+ countdowns the good Doctor has given us, but it’s a good chunk of time. So, in honor of this 15th anniversary, I am presenting two extra lists.

First, I have compiled the top 15 whacky songs from the last 15 years.

  1. Fish Heads by Barnes & Barnes
  2. Dead Puppies by Ogden Edsl
  3. White & Nerdy by “Weird Al” Yankovic
  4. The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny by Lemon Demon
  5. They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa! by Napoleon XIV
  6. Viagra in the Waters by Camille West
  7. Cows with Guns by Dana Lyons
  8. 99 Words for Boobs by Robert Lund
  9. Ti Kwan Leep/Boot to the Head by The Frantics
  10. Bulbous Bouffant by Radio Free Vestibule
  11. Re: Your Brains by Jonathan Coulton
  12. Stealing Like a Hobbit by the great Luke Ski
  13. Street Meat (You Keep Tauntin’ Me) by Mike Phirman
  14. My Cat is Afraid of the Vacuum Cleaner by Power Salad
  15. Fake Adult by the great Luke Ski
