Editorial Reviews

The New York Times, Sunday, March 13, 1983
The freshest outfit to have released a record recently calls itself Travesty, Ltd. More a crowd than a group (there are at least a dozen of them on the cover of their record "Teen Comedy Party"), The material on the disc, which contains a "subliminal Satanic message," consists largely of parodies of the pap to be heard twiddling the AM radio dial. Amusing parodies they are, especially the "Famous Truckdriver's School of Songwriting" where you can learn to write lyrics about the charms of the waitress who serves all that coffee at the truck stop, and country tunes to go with them. There are also commercials for products such as one guaranteed to banish "ear odor," an educational segment on how to play the bongos and another on "how to build your own nuclear reactor" which should put an end to all instructional programs forever but won't; silly station breaks; a weather report by a hysterical meteorologist; and a choral offering by the "Young Latvian Police Trainee Choir." The musical portions, which comprise some of the funnier moments on a truly funny recording, are adroitly supplied, in part, by the Starland Vocal Band.

Product Description
TEEN COMEDY PARTY 2000 contains nearly all the vinyl hilarity of the original '80s disc, now digitized and expanded to 40 classic tracks. Included is the Dr. Demento hit, "Rock & Roll Doctor," as well as many brand-new old favorites, like the much-bootlegged "Dwayne Stomp PSA," the tear-jerking country tune "Savin' My Heart for Parts," and several episodes of the "Love Talk Radio" series, featuring know-nothing authority Dr. Adonis.

4.0 out of 5 stars Teenager warning: may annoy parents, February 14, 2001

By	Robert j. whitaker (wilmington, de United States) - See all my reviews

With forty cuts on the album, an ungrade from the much earlier vynal release, b TEEN COMEDY PARTY manages to crack laughs out of most of them. From an interview with a drug addled and recovering Alvin the chipmunk, in a "where are they now?" segment to a loopy "At the Record Store" segment, manage to stay consistantly funny. The album could be called "punk Monty Python" for its sheer brashness. Some of the segments are dated, but the humor is not, to wit: "The Earth Mother News" a folksy number on a "build it yourself nuclear reactor." It would be a good listen in an overly long car drive; some of the material is about radio. A good album. I finished it wishing for more.
