Ogden Edsl came out of Omaha, Nebraska, started by Bill Frenzer, Bill Carey and a bandmate billed as Otis XII, and the name alone tells you what kind of outfit it was. The full handle was The Ogden Edsl Wahalia Blues Ensemble Mondo Bizzario Band, a pileup that tips its hat to the poet Ogden Nash and to two automobile makes, the Nash and the Edsel.

Their stock in trade was the sick joke set to music: dark, satirical songs that found their natural home on Dr. Demento's weekly radio show, where "Dead Puppies", "Kinko the Clown" and "Daddy's Money" became the ones people remembered. The band called it a day in 1983, but the cult following has outlasted them, and their music has come out on Rhino.
