I am incredibly honored and happy to report that my original hip-hop ode to the concept of arrested development, "Fake Adult" ended up at #1 on Dr. Demento's Funny 25 countdown of the most requested songs of 2014! This is my 4th time being the #1 song on the Funny 25, and my first time with an original song (not a parody). Thank you so much to Dr. Demento for allowing it to happen, and to all of you, my fans who have been requesting the song all year. It means so much to me, and I appreciate every iota of it.

I would be remiss if I didn't thank again the helpertons who helped made this song what it is, the mixmaster Garageband magician TV's Kyle, dementia star offspring Lauren Spice and SteveBox on the kiddo vocals, and TV's Lindsay, Devo Spice, Insane Ian, Carrie Dahlby, and ShoEboX for the end chorus vocals. You guys rule so much. And thanks also to my awesome wife Sara Trice, who has given me the gift of a life that allows for enough time to create such things. I appreciate it every day, and I love you every moment.

Also worth mentioning of course is that my #1 song from 2011 "Snoopy The Dogg" also made the list at #25, meaning I bookended the countdown this year! After the song played, Dr. Demento called it "One of the cleverest, best executed song parodies in quite a while." I don't know if you all can grasp how awesome it is to hear such high praise from the Doctor. Well, I know Ian can, because Dr. D called him a "comedy rock god" in the same show. I have to assume that "Snoopy The Dogg" will be making a comeback in late 2015 when the new "Peanuts" movie starts getting promoted a lot more.

That's 13 years in a row I've had a song on the Funny 25, with songs of mine appearing on a total of 16 Funny 25 countdowns. If you're interested in reading more detailed thoughts on the countdown and my & the FuMP's placement on it, then go read this page in my LiveJournal: http://lukeski.livejournal.com/768084.html And of course, you should all go listen to the Funny 25 episode itself, which can be heard exclusively at "The Dr. Demento Show" website: http://drdemento.com/online.html

Oh, and big congrats to my good friend and podcast co-host Carrie Dahlby who had her biggest Dr. Demento Show hit ever this year with "Almost Parent Time" featuring Earl "Wyngarde" Luckes hitting #5 on the Funny 25!

When there are groups of things in pop-culture, I often find myself gravitating towards the one in the group that I feel is very awesome yet unjustifiably getting less love and attention than the rest. My favorite Star Trek show is "Deep Space Nine". My favorite Fraggle is Boober. My favorite Disney movie of the past decade is "Meet The Robinsons"...

...And my favorite classic 80's arcade game is "Q*bert".

Which inexplicably seems to be the only game of that era that didn't get it's own obnoxious novelty song... Until now.

Music by the very Slick "TV's Kyle".

The song will be a free MP3 download until January 23rd, so HOP ON OVER to the FuMP dot com and get it now!

• LUKE & CARRIE'S BAD RAPPORT

Episode #113 - Squirrel Family Options

It’s our annual Christmas episode, which means it’s extra-stuffed full of funny holiday-related tracks from the likes of Paul & Storm, Phineas & Ferb,The Nick Atoms, Hot Waffles, Stephen Colbert, Elephant Larry,Epic Rap Battles Of History, the great Luke Ski, Mystery Science Theatre 3000, Patton Oswalt, Garfunkel & Oates, Smooth-E,Richard Cheese, St. Nick, & Devo Spice, and of course Alex the blonde-haired toddler.

For the first time in several months, Luke & Carrie were actually able to get together at a restaurant so they could record a podcast face to face, far away from other distractions and far close to bacon and nachos. In this episode: Carrie tells us of a creepy random encounter with a middle-aged man at a train festival, Luke instigates podcast inception by playing for Carrie a recording of TV’s Kyle talking on the FuMPcast as a means to break some awesomely good news to her, and Luke & Carrie both discuss comedy songs of theirs from the past that didn’t get as much fan love or specific attention as they thought they should have (not that we’re complaining, we’re just pondering why for the purposes of creating quasi-interesting podcast content for you all).

We also tell some ignorance stories and find out what happens when the pendulum of ignorance swings to the entirely opposite extreme, and read your comments from the past 2 episodes. So grab your hot cocoa, or your gelt, or your reindeer jerky or whatever, and enjoy the one episode of the year that’s unapologetically chock full of holiday onslaught. Episode Length: 2:49:50

To make way for the forthcoming 2-CD set "Greatest Hits Volume 2: 2004-2009" coming in 2015, I'm having a clearance sale so I can intentionally put eight of my CDs OUT OF PRINT FOREVER! So get a jump on your holiday shopping and get these CDs for yourself or your nerdy friends & family while supplies last!

Only $4 each for the following CDs:
- "BACONspiracy!"
- "Target: Audience"
- "Too Much Stuff"
- "What A Ripoff! Volume 1"
- "What A Ripoff! Volume 2"
- "What A Ripoff! Volume 3"
- "Luke & Carrie's Bad Rapport: Best Of 2012"*

...and "unCONVENTIONal" for only ONE DOLLAR!!!

And remember, each of these CDs comes with an instant download of the album*, so when you order these CDs, you're getting the download version of the album for less than half its usual price! I mean, c'mon, seriously, you can get a download of "unCONVENTIONal" (featuring "Vader Boy", "A Man Named Jayne", & "GREASE WARS") for just one stinkin' dollar!!!

I've also dropped the price of the 'All of Luke Ski's CDs & DVD bundle' to $65 for this sale, in case any of you want to get one of everything for a lower price.

And, while it's not on sale, I hope those of you who don't already own a copy of my latest CD "4th Grade Talent Show" ($9.99) will consider ordering it along with the sale CDs.

Obviously, there are shipping costs added when you order, but that's to be expected. Anyway, I hope you'll all take advantage of this sale so these CDs can end up in the hands of folks who may actually want to listen to them, and not left in a box outside of Goodwill or something like that. On your marks, get set, BUY STUFF!!!

Link to the sale page: http://lukeski.bandcamp.com/merch

* If you order the "Luke & Carrie's Bad Rapport: Best Of 2012" CD via the Luke Ski bandcamp page, you won't get the instant download. For that, you have to order it through the Bad Rapport bandcamp page, which has it at the same price for the duration of this sale.

Thanks so much to everyone who voted in the 2014 Poll to determine the new Luke Ski Top 50! For the third poll in a row, 2003's "Stealing Like A Hobbit" remains the champion at #1, while the #2 position has been usurped by 2012's Logan Award winning "When You Wish Upon A Death Star"! Woo-hoo! I can still make songs that my fans will love! Other tracks from my latest album "4th Grade Talent Show" to make the list were #11 "Fake Adult", #25 "Scoob", #37 "I'd Buy That For A Dollar", #42 "Paywutchyalike", & #44 "Neurotica"! A few tracks from "What A Ripoff! Volume 3" also made the list: #24 "Luke, Are You Carrie?", #38 "Skeksis Back", & #40 "We Are The FuMP". I'll have a detailed discussion about the results on episode #112 of my podcast "Luke & Carrie's Bad Rapport" (coming before Thanksgiving), but for now you can view the results yourself on the Luke Ski Top 50 page.
