- Interesting question. I'm afraid we would never come to a conscensus
- on what "THE" definitive 25 would be. Here are a couple ways one might
- select such a list:
- 1) Use the old survey technique...have everyone vote for their top 25.
- 2) Trust Dr. D. Doesn't he have an album entitled something like 'THE
- TOP DEMENTED TUNES OF ALL TIME'? Use his list.
- 3) Come up with categories like the Grammies (e.g. top demented Country and
- Western tune, top demented Christmas tune, top demented song parody, etc.).
- Appoint members to an "Acadamy of Dementia" who will make the nominees,
- etc.
- 4) Just ask me!
