When I first met Devo Spice in June of 1998, I purchased all of the cassette albums released up to that point by his comedy rap group "Sudden Death". One of them, the album "Brain Dead" released in 1995, had a brilliant up-tempo nonsense song on it which prominently featured an opening sound bite of one of my favorite scenes from "Young Frankenstein", as well as a repeated sample during the chorus taken from "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Polkas On 45". It remains to this day one of my all-time favorite Sudden Death / Devo Spice songs. Every year the comedy music track at MarsCon concludes with a concert in which all the artists of the weekend get back up on stage one more time and perform a cover of one of their favorite comedy songs. This year, I decided to finally tackle that song, "Abby Normal", featuring a cavalcade of many of my favorite old cartoon & celebrity impressions from songs from my past. That's all I've got to to say, so 'sed-a-give' it a listen!
