Barnes & Barnes, fictional twin brothers Art Barnes and Artie Barnes (Bill Mumy and Robert Haimer, respectively), are a comedy rock duo based in "Lumania", a fictional mythological civilization (similar to Lemuria or Atlantis). Most of their music is standard rock or pop with heavy comedic elements. They are best known for their 1978 song "Fish Heads." For most of the early '80s, Barnes & Barnes were the kings of Dr. Demento novelty rock, and Voobaha was their definitive album, a collection of wacky, off-kilter pop ditties that are either laugh-out-loud hysterical or nerve-shatteringly irritating, depending on your point of view. As much as any of their collections, Voobaha is the definitive Barnes & Barnes experience, containing not only the notorious "Fish Heads," but also "Sewey Hole," "Boogie Woogie Amputee," "I Hope She Dies," "Gumby Jaws Lament," "De Pumped Out Blues," and "Party in My Pants." If you found the titles funny, or if you liked "Fish Heads," you'll find the songs funny. If the titles seemed stupid to you, you're not gonna like this.

Barnes & Barnes are best known for their "hit" song "Fish Heads", which is the most requested song of all time on the Dr. Demento show. After that song gained some notoriety, they got a contract to record this album. And what an album it is! It features some of the strangest songs ever recorded (plus the most twisted Beatles cover version ever). Most of these songs are in questionable taste, but I like them. The CD version adds a whopping nine bonus tracks to the original album. Fans of demented music, unite and buy this CD! Yeah!
