Lines: 15 The "Fish heads" song, if I remember correctly, was one of a series of similarly weird pieces recorded by a UCLA student and submitted to Dr. Demento when he was doing his original Sunday night show on KMET in Los Angeles (mid-seventies or earlier...). I don't remember the student's name, but she was very creative and prolific; she apparently did all her recordings on a little cassette player in the UCLA dorm where she lived at the time. BTW, "Weird Al" Yancovic also got his start in the same way; Dr. Demento was playing his stuff (much of it FAR weirder and funnier than the recent Jackson parodies) many years ago... And as for bad lyrics in general, some of Dr. Demento's favorites would win any competition hands down (e.g., "Dead puppies aren't much fun... YEECHH!!!). W. Christensen
