I heard a really funny new novelty tune on a local station yesterday(WKQX-Chic) that is a take-off on Toni Basil`s song(?) "Hey, Mickey". It`s called "Hey, Ricky" and is sung as a duet by Lucy and Ricky "BAA-BAA-LOOOO" Ricardo. It was really good. Unfortunately, I missed the beginning and din`t hear who does it. Has anyone else heard this, like any Dr. Demento fans hiding out there? I`d like to get a copy of it if it`s been released. Tom O`Connor ihuxw!tommyo

The song "Hey Ricky" is by "crazy" Al Yankovik(?). He is a regular on Dr. Demento with accordion instrumented take-offs on songs. Such as "yoda" to the tune of "Lola"

To Tom O'Connor and anyone else who's curious: Al Jankovich (Weird Al Jankovich, if you listen to Dr. D) wrote "Hey, Ricky!" and also sings it. I don't remember the other singer's name but she does a good Lucille Ball-Arnaz, Sr. genrad!mit-eddie!enid

Famous for such hits as "Driving in the Lane with Diamonds", "My Bologna" and "It's Still Billy Joel to me". (and can we forget, "Baby likes Burping"?). He is also famous for doing all his songs on accordion, and played the accordion parts on Barnes & Barnes Voobaha album. -Glenn

The theme from Gilligan's Island is quite versatile. I saw a wonderful comedy skit a year or so ago where the words to Amazing Grace were set to the tune of Gilligan's Island. It matched perfectly, and sounded hilarious. -Glenn
