    I remember the first night this aired on Dr. Demento. I actually recorded it on cassette. My life was never the same after that show. I started sending in tapes of songs I had written. He sent them back. Bummer, However, he sent back a hand written note with ideas on how to increase the quality of the recordings for airplay. That was truly special to me. Very special time in radio and Barnes and Barnes were there in the middle of it. Well done lads.

    I remember Barnes and Barnes and Damaskas from Dr. Demento in the 80s. Both were cool and responded to my letters. This brings back so many memories, I love it!

    I'm a songwriter and am amazed at the skill presented the song "making love in a Subaru". I have that song on my Ipod. It's amazing. I have so many questions, is that him playing the piano? Did he write that song? I"ve been searching for a song he did "MOR" I think is the name. That song is genius too. He rhymed cantelope with Manilow. What does he look like. What is he up to? What were his inspirations? If you have these answers get them back to me. Please

  • @fuzzysnuffles

  • @marty3888

    I love the video clips on this version. And the song is great! But the first time I heard this was on Dr. Demento. So here, we miss the statement "we'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to John Lennon and Paul Mccartney. Were sorry." then the long piano chord. For that, we can click on the picture of the single/

      I know this is dumb of me to be responding to a decade old comment but I’m doing it anyway lol. Damaskas was an assistant on the dr Demento show. Making songs on the show through the late 70s till the early 80s. He’s in fact still alive he’s just stopped doing music and is very negative about his past work. You can find photos of him on his discogs
