David Tanny is a novelty musician who has been in the business for more than ten years. His specialty is "dementia comedy," a style pioneered by artists such as [[Spike Jones (Music)|Spike Jones]], [["Weird Al" Yankovic (Music)|Weird Al Yankovic]], and, of course, Dr. Demento, of whom he is a fan. He deals mainly in rap, creating the beats using a cheap MIDI program. He has also dealt in parody (sometimes of other parody songs) joke ads, and sketches.
 
We are aware of the general consensus on the artist. Please follow the [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment]].
Line 21:
* [[One of Us]]: He likes 80s-era consoles and video games.
* [[Shaggy Frog Story]]: He's been known to lapse into these.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Most songs by David Tanny contain references to Dr. Demento and various comedy musicians such as Barnes & Barnes, [[Allan Sherman]], [["Weird Al" Yankovic]], and [[The Great Luke Ski]]. He even parodies a few comedy songs, from "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh" to "Gump" (which were already parodies of Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hours" and The Presidents of the United States of America's "Lump," respectively).
** Overlaps with [[A Worldwide Punomenon]] with "[[Lizzie McguireMcGuire|Hilary Du]][[The Simpsons|ff Beer]]."
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]. As we said, ''he does not like critics.'' Also: He once hosted a radio show, but was eventually fired for regularly putting several of his own tracks on the top ten list--and, in at least one case, the #1 position.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: "Hello, Mila (A Letter to [[Mila Kunis]])" and "I Had Sex With Paris Hilton"
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: One of the more recent additions to his discography was a reissue of an old album from ten years back... with a laugh track.
* [[Word Salad Title]]: His adult-oriented album "The Outrageous Weasel"
