From the Press Release:

When Laughter Is A Powerful Weapon Vol. 2 is released in early December 2005, it will be, perhaps, the greatest single comedy music compilation that has ever been released. To make this CD even better all the profits from the project will go directly to the American Red Cross to aid in relief for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. This CD will feature the absolute best artists in the world of Comedy Music coming together for a very worthy cause to show that Laughter is, indeed, a Powerful Weapon.

The biggest name in funny music, “Weird Al” Yankovic has donated a rare version of his song Happy Birthday that has been newly remixed for the first time for this CD. Yankovic’s drummer, Jon “Bermuda” Schwartz, has donated a cover of the song Mr. Ghost Goes To Town he recorded 30 years ago. Barnes & Barnes the authors of one of the most popular comedy songs of all time, Fish Heads, have donated the first track they’ve recorded in many years Granny & The Kid. The 27 Track CD also features songs from other comedy music heavy hitters Steven Banks, Henry Phillips, The Four Postmen, Carla Ulbrich and Rob Paravonian among others. The CD also includes an EXCLUSIVE episode of the popular Podcast, The Radio Adventures Of Dr. Floyd. The CD also includes a special introduction by legendary Comedy DJ, Dr. Demento.

The CD was the brain-child of Jaye of Druidsfire Productions who along with the founders of Funny Musicians For A Serious Cause, Grant Baciocco and Chris Mezzolesta, put the plan into action. Grant Baciocco dealt with finding artists and getting clearances for the songs on the CD while Chris Mezzolesta mastered the CD for production. Funny Musicians produced a CD after the events of September 11, 2001, which has raised over $2000 for the Twin Towers Orphan Fund. The CD will sell for $15 at online music retailer CDBaby.com.

For goodness' sake -- it's 2 dozen funny songs! That's a treasure trove for the grabbing. The producers should do this every year.

Funny stuff!
author: algonacchick
I enjoyed listening to this cd very much. A few draws for me were the remix of Weird Al's "Happy Birthday", and The Jon Schwartz Project's "Mr Ghost is Coming to Town". One of my favorite tracks is "My Cat is Afraid of the Vaccuum Cleaner". Very funny and cute! The Dr. Floyd segment was good, too. This was my first time hearing Dr. Floyd. This is a very good cd, done for a very good cause.
