    AT> "Don't go where the huskies go" sounds interesting. It's weird! I bet

   I would even go back to the 60's. In terms of Weird Al...he would take pop   
   hits & make them into novelties...while Frank would do much of his own with   
   Mothers of Invention. Dr. Demento (Barry Hanson) would play Frank once in a   
   while...but he was instrumental in giving Al his start.
