Even after almost eleven years of being played on nationally syndicated and legendary comedy music radio program "the Dr. Demento Show" and rising to become his most requested artist of the 21st Century, I still have some milestones left to hit. And tonight, I hit another one. For the first time, a new song of mine DEBUTED ON THE FUNNY FIVE COUNTDOWN AT #1!!!

Edit: "Holding Out For Hiro" was #12 on Dr. Demento's Funny 25 of 2007 year-end Countdown! 

"HOLDING OUT FOR HIRO" is my parody of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For A Hero" about the hit sci-fi TV show "Heroes", centering around the character Hiro Nakamura. It features Carrie Dahlby on vocals, music by Jared Ringold, and keyboards by ShoEboX of Worm Quartet. After two weeks in a row of airplay on the show, "Hiro" made it's debut appearance on the weekly Funny Five countdown of the most requested songs of the week at #1! I want to thank all you Dr. Demento fans, Heroes fans, FuMP fans, and Luke Ski fans out there who requested it and shot it to the top like a flying politician carring his exploding brother! If you'd like to hear the episodes featuring the song's appearances, you can listen to them (for $2 an episode) at the show's official website, http://www.drdemento.com.

If you'd like for the good Doctor to keep playing the song on his show, and also keep it on the new monthly Top Ten countdown, then I encourage you to submit a REQUEST for him to play it again! You can do so at the show's official request page, http://www.clamhead.com/drd.php. You can also request by emailing drdemento@drdemento.com, calling the request line 562-ODD-TUNE, or you can snail mail them at: The Dr. Demento Show, P.O. Box 884, Culver City, CA 90232.

If you'd like to hear the song and/or download a 192k MP3 it for $.99, you can do so at the "Holding Out For Hiro" page at the website of "The Funny Music Project", also known as "the FuMP", at http://www.theFuMP.com. You can also find it at my MySpace page, http://www.myspace.com/thegreatlukeski.

Thanks again everyone! I hope you're all enjoying "Holding Out For Hiro", please tell your friends about it! And here's to continued great episodes of both "The Dr. Demento Show" and "Heroes: Season 2"!~ Luke Ski, 10-7-07
