Dr. Demento (born April 2, 1941, in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is the stage name of Barret Eugene Hansen, a radio disc jockey specializing in novelty songs and pop music parodies. He created the persona in 1970 while working at Los Angeles station KPPC-FM. After Hansen played "Transfusion" by Nervous Norvus on the radio, DJ Steven Clean said that Hansen had to be "demented" to play that. Thereafter, the name stuck. Wikipedia
