Title
Smogberry Pie
As I'm sure everyone who frequents this site already knows all too well, The Dr. Demento Show comes to an end this weekend after 55 glorious years of mad music and crazy comedy. And what better way to pay tribute to such a momentous finale than by attempting to recap the entire history of the good doctor's show - and thus, ostensibly the entire history of comedy music itself - into an eight-and-a-half-minute parody of Don McLean's classic rock staple "American Pie?" From the recently-released compilation album Fruits of the Smogberry Trees: The FuMP's Tribute to Dr. Demento, this song was a true labor of love. Barret Hansen, aka Dr. Demento, has enriched my life and livelihood far more than I can easily express, but this song was my attempt at expressing it anyway, and I hope you all enjoy it. Above all, don't you ever DARE forget to STAY DEEEEEEEEEEMENTED!!!!
A Parody of "American Pie" Written by Don McLean

Downtime Expected
by Devo Spice
We are going to be migrating our media storage to a new host starting tonight. There will likely be some service disruptions with playback and downloads. Hopefully it won't be too long, but please be patient as we get things sorted out. If you need anything while things are broken please email support@fidim.com and we'll be happy to help.
UPDATE: The migration went smoothly. Everything should be working again. If you find any songs that do not play please clear your cache and try again. If that doesn't fix the problem please contact support@fidim.com.
