At Dragon*Con 2004, Dr. Demento declared "the great Luke Ski" to be his radio program's "Most Requested Artist of the 21st Century". Since then, Luke held onto that title by having songs on "The Dr. Demento Show's" annual year-end "Funny 25" countdown of his most requested songs of the year for 18 years in a row, including five of them at #1 ("Peter Parker" 2002, "Stealing Like A Hobbit" 2003, "Snoopy The Dogg" 2011, "Fake Adult" 2014, "Candybars" 2017). His song parodies, originals, stand-up and sketches about pop culture phenomena have made
him a favorite performer at science-fiction and fandom conventions
all across the Midwest and beyond. He's released eleven albums and 2
DVDs over the past 24 years, many of which feature
collaborations and cameos by his fellow comedy musicians of the Funny Music Project (www.theFuMP.com),
most significantly Carrie Dahlby, who often sings
lead vocals on Luke's parodies of female musicians. His past hits among his fans include songs about Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man, Star Trek, Pirates of the Caribbean, Battlestar Galactica, Batman, Firefly, Doctor Who, Disney buying Marvel, Monty Python, with more recent hits about Scooby Doo, 80's media franchise mascots, being a 'fake adult', and stuggles with weight loss. He has won
three awards at the Logan Whitehurst Memorial Awards For
Excellence In Comedy Music (www.loganawards.com).
The first for his Peanuts tribute, "Snoopy The Dogg",
winning 'Outstanding Parody Song' of 2011, the
second for his song about Disney buying Star Wars, "When
You Wish Upon A Death Star" winning 'Outstanding
Parody Song' of 2012, and the third "Candybars" about Luke's weight loss struggles winning 'Outstanding Parody Song' of 2017. And in 2013, Carrie Dahlby and the
acts of the FuMP dot com surprised him at his Kickstarter event
'LukeSkiCon 2013' by presenting him with a 2-CD set full of their
cover versions of Luke Ski songs spanning his whole career, titled "Worst Tribute Ever",
featuring an introduction by Dr. Demento, where Dr D. reiterates
that Luke Ski is still his show's most requested act of the 21st
Century. He is the musical jester of sci-fi, the emissary of rap
dementia, and a prominent bacon
enthusiast. So join the Dementia Revolution, and become a Luke Ski
