Demented Punk today unveiled the "Weird Al" Yankovic cover of "Beat On
The Brat" originally recorded by the Ramones and released on their
self-titled debut album in 1976. "Weird Al" contributed his iconic
vocals and accordion to the punk-pop track, backed by Osaka Popstar,
which features John Cafiero singing the answer backs in between Al's
lead vocals, drums by Dennis Diken (The Smithereens), bass guitar by Sal
Maida (Roxy Music, Milk 'n' Cookies) and guitar by Dean Rispler
(Dictators, Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black). "Beat On The Brat"
appears on Demented Punk's Dr. Demento Covered In Punk which is due for
release on January 12, 2018. This audio oddity is a modern-day homage
to radio icon Dr. Demento, a world-renowned institution who has
championed novelty music and its creators since the 1970s.
