Drawing on their mutual love of comics, including �50s EC (which specialized in horror, crime and sci-fi), �60s pre-superhero Marvel comics, and R. Crumb, the songs were demented from the get-go. In 1974, they submitted �The Vomit Song� to Demento, though the good Doctor felt it would have an �emetic� effect on his audience. But he loved �Fish Heads� and �Boogie Woogie Amputee,� and the former made Barnes & Barnes darlings of Dementia overnight. The tune�s accompanying short film went on to air on MTV, VH1 and Comedy Central, and was named #57 video of all time by Rolling Stone. They even recruited a heavy manager (Bill Siddons, who managed the Doors).
The Voohaba album was issued in 1976, then digitally remastered and reissued as a CD on Rhino. Robert Haimer went back to the original source tapes to prepare for the Collectors� Choice reissue in 2007, and Barnes & Barnes have added some previously unreleased tracks: �I Gotta Get a Fake I.D.,� plus alternate takes of �Political Statement,� �Boogie Woogie Amputee� and �Fish Heads.�
