RIP: Kip Addotta

Kip was only a household name to fans of Dr. Demento and maybe anyone who caught the syndicated show Make Me Laugh. He first came to my attention while living in Indiacrapolis when the rock station responsible for not-funny Bob & Tom play Kip’s comedy song “Wet Dream,” which is several minutes of fish puns. Was it funny? The first couple times it was amusing. After that, the novelty had worn off. Kip did have some others and what has remained on my numerous Xmas playlists is his “I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus.” Being released in the Eighties, you know how it ends.
