2. This cheerful and optimistic Monty Python song from the film, "The Life of Brian" tells us to look on which side of life?

Answer: the Bright

"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" is the final song in the film as the main character is slated for crucifixion. This song is a perennial Dr. Demento favorite.

3. "Bright College Days" may be relatively obscure but you may know the artist. He is more popularly known for his parodies such as, "New Math" and "The Elements." Who is he?

Answer: Tom Lehrer

Answer: Right Said Fred

The song "I'm Too Sexy" reached the number one spot in many countries. It has the requisite humor and quirkiness to have appeared on the Dr. Demento show numerous times. Right Said Fred hails from England and was formed in 1989.

Answer: Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney covered this song and it appears on his 2012 album, "Kisses on the Bottom". It was played on the February 2012 syndicated Dr. Demento show.

Answer: Plunder

This entry by the Scurvy Pirates, "Fight For Your Right to Plunder", is a parody of the Beastie Boys' "Fight For Your Right to Party." As always, a clever parody usually finds its way to the Dr. Demento show.

Answer: "I'm Not Home Right Now"

Loudon Wainwright III's song about our not so fragrant creature is entitled, "Dead Skunk."

"Crossin' the highway late last night;
He should'a looked left and he should'a looked right;
He didn't see the station wagon car;
The skunk got squashed and there you are!

Dead skunk in the middle of the road."

9. Somewhat surprising is the inclusion of "That's All Right," by the "King of Rock and Roll" on the Dr. Demento show. Who is this icon of music?

Answer: Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley is probably the last or penultimate person to appear on the Dr. Demento show. Nevertheless, Presley is included and appeared on a show broadcast in 1992. There were some parodies of the song and artist which probably merited the inclusion.

Answer: Dudley Do-Right

Dudley Do-Right was the intrepid Canadian Mountie in pursuit of his clever adversary, Snidely Whiplash. His last appearance on the Dr. Demento show was in 1997.
