'''Dr. Demento''' (AKA Barret Eugene Hansen) is a disc jockey who achieved fame and/or infamy with his long-running syndicated radio program which features strange and bizarre novelty tunes of every type and description. Along with reviving popular interest in performers such as [[Spike Jones]] and [[Tom Lehrer]], he introduced [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] to the world, which is pretty much a lifetime achievement in itself.
