Songs For Saturday: Stupid Stuff



Songs For Saturday with be short and sweet strange this week. 


Up first from the Dordt College Senior Talent Show on May 8, 2008, here is the college Concert Choir with their performance of "Spider Pig".  




This song was composed by Oscar winning film composer Hans Zimmer and is performed over part of the closing credits of The Simpsons Movie. 

When I was a kid, I was a fan of Dr. Demento's radio show which focused on strange, weird novelty records. 

Like this one from Barnes & Barnes called "Fish Heads".  



One half of Barnes & Barnes was Bill Mumy, an actor most famous for his role on the 1960s sci-fi series Lost In Space as Will Robinson. Mumy appeared on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in it's last season.  

Another song I first heard on Dr. Demento's radio show was "Psycho Chicken" by the Fools. 


"Psycho Chicken" was a parody of Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads; click the link to hear that version.   

That's all for today. Things stay weird on the blog thing with Cinema Sunday as we look at another Marx Brothers movie, Animal Crackers.

Until next time, remember to stay safe, be good to one another and to always keep the music alive.
