| | Customer Reviews: Great selection, Great Collection (02 January 2006)We need more folks like Dr Demento! For non -US readers Dr D presents a radio show showcasing what used to be called "novelty records" and it was while chasing one of these round the Net (I want a Hippopotamus" by Gayla Peevey if you must know) I came upon this collection. And WHAT a collection. From Spike Jones' "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" (lisped thuperbly by George Rock) to the Spectoresque "Christmas at Ground Zero" by Wierd Al there is stuff here that most radio shows won't dare broadcast now. Buy it! even if only for "I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas" by Stan Freburg ("Had a good season? Excellent!") In a world of dreary political correctness and dull rhythmic conformity this CD will open your mind to the potential of audio comedy. And a Green Chri$tma$ to you all! A n album for those who are tired of the same carols (21 November 2001)This album is good for parties, many old songs from the 40's and 50's that the young generation will be amazed at. Who would have thought that a song about grandma being run over would be so catchy, the lyrics are amusing and the tune unforgettable. Similarlily, Dominic the donkey and percy the puny poinsetta are such a suprise when you first hear it, but it just sticks in your head. The dog just thought the jingle bells was great and I do think it is actual dogs singing what do you think? Ground Zero is a very good song when you think it was written in the heady sixties, but now I do not think it will be acceptable to play in public! On the whole I am glad I bought this CD and will be on the lookout for more alternative xmas songs. |
