I haven't heard it AFAIK. However, my wireless (radio for those who
came in late is more or less permanently tuned to the ABC [Oz]
Local Radio network. I haven't heard it on that; but that's not to
say it's not on one of the other ABC networks (Triple J is probably
the most likely candidate) or one of the commercial stations.

A quick Google for "dr. demento", and a scan of the top link, namely

<http://tinyurl.com/2mo4a8>
In full:
<http://www.google.com/musica?aid=kPgg_3-FrXE&sa=X&oi=music&ct=result>

turned up the contents of Volume 2, which includes "The Purple People
Eater" -- talk about taking a bloke back to secondary school days!

Now I'm going to have to rummage around in music store CD bins!

Cheers, Phred.
