*dr. demento is a national treasure.*

[@funeralbillii9172]

I hate that I have only one thumb's up to give :(

[@rcpsammy7186]

100%

[@hulkhatepunybanner]

*I am who I am because because of Dr. Demento.*

[@rbdriftin]

A fantastic showcase of creative weirdness. We need more of this.

[@sublime88sublime]

9:57 John -"On a label called *Crippled Dick Hotwax* ..."
Dr. Demento - * Nods head in confirmation *

[@iskandertime747]

Oh, he knows what's up...

[@nessearthbound3107]

I go to the same school Dr. Demento went to. He visits every year and gives talks about music history and random musical tidbits. He is such an awesome guy! I have a picture with him somewhere.

[@jamesdelahanty]

It was because of Dr. Demento that I became interested in all types of music. What I love about The Dr, is the vast amount of musical knowledge he possesses! He's 78 here! His recall is amazing. They really need to do something for him to share this! If I was in that Amoeba and saw him, I would have totally lost it, for a second, and quietly say something to him! He's kind of one of my heroes!

[@jeromebouffard]

Dr demento should have a weekly show about anything, ismusic knowledge is just amazing.

[@creekandseminole]

Dr. Demento is LEGENDARY

[@maddiebricout3521]

This is an awesome episode, thanks for bringing iconic weirdness to What’s In My Bag.

[@bigguys45s29]

I love Dr. Demento! Great guy.

[@richiealcocer]

Dude...i knew I was going to love this when I saw both names!

[@zsantschi]

Dr. Demento has one of the world's greatest record collections.

[@justinpipes85]

Holy fuck! 6:51 I didnt know I needed Dr. Demento clapping for the orginal Misfits in my life but here we are and I thank you Amoeba.

[@Ellz66]

X Ray Specs- what a band!

[@brandname6]

So many cool things to listen to ! thanks everyone involved!

[@johnschmidt6840]

Matching hair and glasses so amazing

[@engelschmidl2907]

I don't know why I'm surprised Dr Demento is a Replacements fan but I am.

[@MrDRock-rc2tz]

New favorite what's in my bag! And I want to own every pick they had

[@zombiTrout]

Seeing the title, I was expecting an April fools joke. Thankfully it wasn’t. Great vid.

[@funeralbillii9172]

My Dad used to play his radio show in the car and he'd teach us some of the songs from the show, great memories.

[@LeeCDylan]

I want that 45 of They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa! so badly!. Great episode!

[@SaintMartins]

Dr. Demento is not a musician, but he has inspired & influenced many of them. Weird Al Yankovic, The Cramps, Beck & even interviewer Nardwuar The Human Serviette.

[@dasbakon]

He's also Bart Simpson's mortal enemy

[@thomasdains8353]

You'll also find a credit to Dr. Demento on Aerosmith's "Toys in the Attic" album, which includes the song Big 10 Inch.

[@rcpsammy7186]

He is an encyclopedia of music.

[@davidredshaw3774]

Amoeba, you have my attention once again.

[@andrewpappas9311]

I don’t know much about Dr. Demento but I thank him for introducing us all to the music of Weird Al Yankovic back in the day

[@garyclarke5391]

Loved this! 🎶😊🎶

[@gongandfriends]

Well,
this is awesome.

[@diogenesdefawkes4949]

Grew up listening to Dr. Demento. I totally forgot Steve Martins King Tut! One name for Comedy Music fans not familiar with it, Ivor Biggun. LMAO

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

I want a hat like Dr Demento.

[@themiccrazy]

Love him

[@tim_brooks]

how dare you put the price tag on the disc itself?!

[@sirkaos]

if there is more of dr demento from this interview, i would like to see that in full on here !

[@luchalew2884]

First saw Devo on Square Pegs. Dr. Demento should get $100 store credit every month. Just for being Dr. Demento.

[@KOSMICKEN09]

Ah I recall being 11 in 1981 listening to Dr. Demento on Wlav in grand rapids

[@BlakeGM]

Man, Dr. Demento made an appearance at my local record store a while ago. I should have went to see him.

[@meandervh8960]

YEAZZZ

[@Jacksmusicshack]

DR.Demento!!!!

[@nickstadler1906]

Seeing as Dr. Demento is there, when John Cafiero held up the Jaws soundtrack, I was certain that it was actually going to be "Mr. Jaws" by Dickie Goodman instead.

[@altohippiegabber]

"Does humor belong in music?" - F.Z.

[@Luxatos]

When he said "original Wet Dream" I thought he was talking about Max Romeo (made it to his original year end countdown in 1972), not Kip Addotta. Both are great bits of dementia though.

[@bessyxyz]

Please have Ten Fé on. They're currently touring North America. Should be near LA soon. Thanks. :D

[@williamlavagna1096]

Nooo way Johnny Otis and Shuggie played at your wedding?!

[@AdolfStalin]

5:22 OH GOD THAT SONG

[@user-xm4uv4gq4e]

7:30 I guess, there's also an album "Everything Sucks" by the Descendents, that John doesn't say about.

[@reviewbrah6353]

Bring MGMT please

[@jimartymcfly5061]

"Hey boy, you're really a game fish! Whats your name?"
"Marlin"

[@celandineroots]

GOD dr demento is still around? i remember being a baby and listening to a cd of his that my mom won from a radio station contest and she had no idea who he was

[@stevep5408]

I remember driving around with my buddies and listening to Dr Demento on the 8 track, am, fm stereo!

[@moozycla6]

Will I ever see John Lydon at Amoeba?

[@andrewp1075]

What album did these guys work on together? Seems a shame they didn't plug it on here.🤪

[@DementedPunk]

The album is called "Dr. Demento Covered in Punk" more info at www.coveredinpunk.com For audio & video check out th-cam.com/users/DementedPunk

[@jasonward8456]

Johnny Otis is the father of Shuggie Otis

[@vinylworthy]

Shuggie is DOPE!!!

[@SleezeJest]

I wish they would have gone digging for stuff they wanted to own or find out about- those What's In My Bags are so much more interesting than the ones where artists hold court and lecture on their favorite stuff (most of which we already know). Does Dr. Demento really need another copy of They're Coming to Take Me Away?

[@andrewweymouth9423]

Shaving cream

[@markschroeder5559]

...I stepped in a big pile of SHaving cream...

[@calvinl5726]

wow nobodys gonna mention john

[@N3ukenInD3K3uken]

who ?

[@calthomas6892]

Dr Demento is a radio host who's been broadcasting since the 70s and specializes in novelty/comedy music. He pretty much started Weird Al's career. The other guy I have no idea lol

[@mike_minnick]

@@calthomas6892 hes a musician who produced Dr Ds latest album and is also his manager

[@abeardwithtattoos]

Am I the only one that noticed, “Everything Sucks” was skipped over?

[@starfishplectrumelectrumge8013]

He's still alive?

[@Z3nHolEminD]

" boot to the head "

[@NoMoreEvil402]

Finally a person that didn’t get a bunch of repress BS.

[@meandervh8960]

Why is he holding the records so wrong in his hands!?

[@MKEvinyl]

Dude's a legend in his late 70s, and one of the coolest people to boot. He can do what he wants.

[@AdolfStalin]

Misfits are great, not a huge fan of X-Ray Spex.

[@David_T]

Too much John and not enough Demento.

[@gringoloco4]

Weak sauce
