Another Dr. Demento Momento

For some reason, I was very recently thinking about a series of novelty skits which used to get played eons ago on Dr. Demento’s radio show. They involved a reporter interviewing somebody, with the answers coming in the form of snippets from various hit songs of the day. Who did them? Now I know — Dickie Goodman. Michael Azerrad wrote up a neat little article on the man and his schtick for eMusic. I didn’t know that Goodman’s pop culture parodies went all the way back to the ’50s.
