* SignatureScene: Music/WeirdAlYankovic debuting "Another One Rides the Bus" in a live performance on the September 14, 1980 local Los Angeles edition of the show. Not only was that particular performance issued as Yankovic's breakthrough single, the attention also gave a ColbertBump to Dr. Demento himself, ''and'' it was the first time that Al worked with his longtime collaborator Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz (who'd also had some of his homemade recordings played on the show and was also invited on a guest that evening).

* CoveredUp: "The Scotsman" was first written and recorded by Mike Cross in 1976, but it's the a capella version that Bryan Bowers did a few years later that became one of the show's biggest hits. Dr. D has played a few other songs by Cross from time to time, though.

* ValuesDissonance: Some of the material based on stereotypical humor that he played in the past hasn't aged all that well, and in some cases he's quietly stopped playing it. An interesting case is "Big Bruce" by Steve Greenberg (a minor 1969 novelty hit), a spoof of Jimmy Dean's "Big Bad John" about a CampGay hairdresser, which was hugely popular on the show in TheSeventies (getting to #4 on the Funny 25 for 1976), but after appearing on the Funny 5 for November 18, 1979, he didn't play it again for almost three decades. It only resurfaced in 2006 (and has only gotten a handful of spins since).

Not YMMV. It's misuse anyways.

* CutAndPasteTranslation: For the majority of his over-the-air run he actually hosted two different weekly shows: a live four-hour show in Los Angeles, and the pre-recorded two-hour syndicated show. The LA version was more freewheeling, with a crew of regular cast members, and had a weekly top ten countdown. The syndicated show was mainly just Demento with occasional guests, had the Funny Five countdown, and he didn't play as much sex- or drug-oriented material. Generally he used the LA version as a proving ground for new material which he would add to the syndicated show.
