As we wrap up 2007, it’s Funny 25 time, which means it’s also time to update my Dr. Demento’s Top 100 (or so) Demented Hits.
This year besides the usual addition of the top two songs from the countdown to the all-time 100, two other songs gained enough points to get added to the list. Jonathan Coulton’s “Re: Your Brains” made its second appearance in the Funny 25 in two years and jumps to number 70 on the Top 100. And Weird Al was all over this year’s countdown. His “White & Nerdy” comes in at #50 on the all-time greatest list.
The other song gaining ground was “The Night Santa Went Crazy” by Weird Al. It moved up from #29 to #27, passing “Shaving Cream” by Doctor Demento and “Kick Ass USA” by Milo Tremley.
I found a lot of these songs and artists on a site called “The Funny Music Project” (aka, The FUMP). It’s a miracle of modern science. Check it out.
