Barnes & Barnes – Zabagabee: The Best Of Barnes & Barnes Vinyl LP
The comedic art-rock, new wave, synth-pop duo Barnes & Barnes featured actor Bill Mumy (of ‘Lost in Space’ and ‘Babylon 5′ fame) and Robert Haimer. The 1970s/’80s duo is most well-known for the most requested song ever on the Dr. Demento radio show, “Fish Heads.” The video for the hilarious classic track had national TV exposure airing on Saturday Night Live in December 1980. The clip often aired in the early days of MTV and it has over 6.9 million views on YouTube. Their “Best of” compilation was an early Rhino Records release back in 1987 and this 16-track album features many beloved Demento classics like “Boogie Woogie Amputee” and “Party In My Pants.” Includes their version of “What’s New Pussycat” from Devo’s late Bob Casale and the track “Blithering” from Gerry Beckley from the band America. Also features guest appearances from Steve Perry of Journey, Dewey Bunnell of America and Joseph Williams of Toto on the track “Don’t’ You Wanna Go To The Moon”. The album has never been re-released.
