David Tanny is a novelty musician who has been in the business for more than ten years. His specialty is "dementia comedy," a style pioneered by artists such as Music/SpikeJones, Music/WeirdAlYankovic, and, of course, Dr. Demento, of whom he is a fan. He deals mainly in rap, creating the beats using a cheap MIDI program. He has also dealt in parody (sometimes of other parody songs) joke ads, and sketches.
