Classic Dr. Demento show intro and Frank Gallop tells the tale of Irving -the 142nd fastest gun in the west .
Dont forget to stayyyyyy deeeeemented!
My father, John Aylesworth is one of the writers of this song. Classic!
I listened to this show around 1975-76 as a high school freshman. Great stuff.
Dr Demento was a bright spot in the week growing up.
A hundred and forty one could draw faster than he, but Irving was looking for one forty three.. Classic line.
He always followed his mother's wishes. Even on the range he used two sets of dishes.😂
i miss the Dr.Demento show.....
I used to record it off the radio 🤣😂🤣😂it was great!
Still available every week, new, on his website, drdemento.com
@@amyjoedwards6711 me too my neighbor played two hours of dr demento he had on reel to reel
Yes! This is the version I remember most. Some versions have the “bar mitzvah” lyrics as “ with a 10 gallon Yamaka on his head”.
Thank you for posting this! I had forgotten this song a long time ago. I was telling my dog that LIVE puppies are much more fun and went on a Dr Demento binge. You are one of several who made my night tonight!
30 years later stilll !!!!!
"...he always followed his mother's wishes: Even on the range, he used two sets of dishes..."
Hilarious!
I learned this song because my father loved it. He would howl with laughter when he heard it, and would ask me to sing (recite) it. I think I could still remember it.
I ran a auto garage in a jewish neighborhood in md.
My best customer was an Irving. I played this for him.
I used to listen to the Doc when I was younger!! He was the best!!!
Another part of my childhood. Loved Dr Demento. Sunday nghts 6-10 KMET. Great times.
I remember the show only being 2hrs long. I also used to listen to KMET. it was 94.7
Those were the good old days!
I listened to him on wrkr
lying in bed late Saturday night with my ear on my little mono analog radio,..
For me it was Sunday nights from 10p-12a in Phoenix, Arizona on 104.7 KZZP (If I had done my homework).
Dr. Demento was my childhood here!
KMET 94.7 back in the day... 4 hrs. 6-10 on Sundays.
sunday evenings KPFT here in Houston Texas.
major props to Dr. Demento
This is where Weird Al got his start.
Another one rides the bus.
@@JerryInGeorgia Nope, My Bologna was his first hit...
@@michaeltwomey4800 Al's first recording of 'Another One Rides The Bus' was recorded in the men's room of his dorm in college...

loved listening to the show on the radio, wish they would bring it back
It's still on. But just like everything else, now you have to pay for it. From what I heard from a DJ, he charged the stations too much and that's why a lot of them stopped carryng it.
God bless Frank Gallop! And God bless Dr. Demento!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
my dad said this was funny on his way to south pacific during WW2.I love my dad
I WOULD LISTEN TO DR. DEMENTO MANY, MANY YEARS AGO!! I LOVED HIS RECORDS!!
This song makes me laugh until I can't breathe. From the first note cause I know whats coming.
Me too, Cathy. I've only just found this song recently so I've not heard more than a couple of dozen times but just as with you, I literally lol cuz I know what's coming!
Be Well and Happy 🙂
Maybe it's just me, but I understood the 10 gallon yarmulke line a lot better than the joke that replaced it in this version. >_
I think the laugh track is what sells this song.
I was 7 when I last heard this! Thanks!
Love it,thank you Dr.Demento
This is the "edited" version--*from madmusic.com * "The line about the 10-gallon yarmulke was on the original LP, but the single
version and subsequent LP pressings substituted the line:
Schlepping a salami and pumpernickel bread.
This substitution was made because the record company felt the joke would be
lost on non-Jewish listeners."
I have the version with the 10-gallon yarmulke line! Best line in music!
😂🤣😂
I love his show!
Thx for the upload, I remember this from the “dumb ditties” album when I was a kid
I listed every Sunday night 1980-1982 while in High School in Miami Beach.
+James Varela so you're old too. i loved the dr. too.
We had a gentleman here in Seattle named Robert Barron, who was known as Mad Man Moskowitz and had a show called "Music with Moskowitz" ..most of the stations in Seattle wouldn't carry Demento....Mr Barron , when he wasn't on radio, was a junior high school teacher in nearby Edmonds ,Wa passed away in 2006
my father in law was a liberal jew this reminds me of him god rest his funny soul thanks
omg i found this song after a snippet of it was played for me by a friend and discovered it is a song from my childhood, as soon as it began playing I was whisked back to that time and place and a memory, full and glorious in all it's sensuous pleasures came rushing in at me. since I don't often get memory flashes of that time period, let alone that intensity, it was worth noting to me and to say 'thanks!' to the anonymous friend who led me here as well as the whatever agent of Fate (or THE)ALL) for leading that friend to me in the first place
They should nominate Irving for a Darwin Award, fiction division!
A friend of mine got me into listening to dr Demento
This takes me back to my childhood.
The line about Bad Max and drawing a picture of a cow is edited out as well.
Now that one I never heard.
It helps to be familiar with Judaism to understand this song. I didn't when I first heard it in 1975.
He still does shows...Dr.Demento.com (monthly or yearly payment)
yeah, he dis play some great crazy S78T....my cousin & I used to drink beer while he played
Dr. D was awesome if you could sit through the wrigley's gum commercials a gazillion times. Ah syndicated radio!
how incredible.
Brilliant
I seem to remember a Native American counterpoint to this: "Irving the Indjan Boy". Can anybody find it?
Love!
Dentyne! The gum that bites you back!
I Love This,, So Funny
Sounds like a parody to "Big Bad John".
absolutely, the style was very popular when i was a kid
Yup, me too!
What happened to the "Ten gallon yamaka on his head" lyrics?
I read that the record company felt that gentiles wouldn't get the reference.
@@AlienRelics Hell, this gentile does!!
One of my favorite comedy bits!!
I could see Mel Brooks directing a video for this.
this is such a funny song
we need the DR for yjr covid 19
It is. A really funny one too.
Not enough room?
Dead puppies aren't much fun
🤠🤣❤❤❤❤❤❤
I never got the part about "even on the range he used two sets of dishes." But I'm not jewish.
I always took it to reference that when company came over you brought out the really nice dishes meant to impress but when it was just you, you used the boring cheap dishes.
Jewish people keep meat and dairy products separate. It comes from a line in the Bible about not boiling the flesh of a calf in the milk of its mother.
every day dishes and fine dishes for company
Nope, taboo son has it right - it is a reference to Jewish dietary law.
@@baylinkdashyt True enough, but outside Jewish culture, the 'good' versus 'everyday' dishes thing was/is very real. It was considered a 'semi-mandatory' thing for many middle-class, midwestern households in the 1960s and 1970s..... something my folks kept alive well into the 1990s.
