"Deteriorata" is a famous parody of San Francisco radio and television
personality Les Crane's spoken word recording of Desiderata . It was
written by Tony Hendra and recorded by National Lampoon as part of
their National Lampoon Radio Dinner album of 1972.
The parody earned a great deal of cultural significance and popularity
as a frequent presentation on the Dr. Demento radio show. Les Crane
himself admitted to preferring this version over his Grammy-winning
recording of the original poem.
