OK, here's the place to post music vids so bad, they might actually be guilty pleasures. Or just plain shite...

So hit YouTube or your favorite vid clip site and share your trash!

I'll start with my favorite tribute band, The Mick Ronson Memorial Memorial Band:

And an absolutely AWFUL "artist" who needs no introduction - DAVID HASSLEHOFF:

now look, those of us who call ourselves artistic, find the term "artist" to be rude and offensive when used in conjunction with David Hasselhoff.

sheesh freddy do we have to send you to sensitivity training AGAIN?

hehehe
Nigel.

Now wait just a second, if Hasslehoff doesn't qualify, then surely our next subject does. I give you DON JOHNSON, with the hit song, "Heartbeat..."

I give you what you ask for, Nigel. May I present William Shatner interpreting "Rocket Man" in 1978:

Truly scary shit.

And Shatner rapping to Shakespeare's Julius Cesar? Fuck yeah!

Dude, keep with the spirit of the thread. I give you "Baby Doll..."

quote:

I give you "Baby Doll..."

Dude! I LOVE Tapeheads. And that's one of the best scenes in the movie. ("I'm gonna let you guys do this one 'on spec'.") Along with the music video for Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles. Great thread.

Here are two that reside in that warped sweet spot of the space-time continuum where the good "bad / good" dimension knots up on itself like a bad piano tie: Gimme Some Money and (Listen to the) Flower People.

Hey Fly, great to see you back around these parts!

Oh, you gonna go all "Spinal Tap" on me, huh? Well take THIS from the movie that inspired the whole "mockumentary" genre:

I give you The Rutles "Piggy in the Middle."

And, of course, who could forget the Rutles huge hit Yellow Submarine Sandwich!"

Thanks Ian! I'd seen the Rutles out of the corner of my eye. (I am shamed to admit I thought it was a take-off on Spinal Tap. Shows how much I know.)

Just finished a fun book:

(Billboard excerpt Amazon).

By Geoff Emerick, recording engineer for the Beatles.

Lennon wanted his voice to sound "like the Dali Lama chanting from a mountaintop" on Revolver. 20 year old Emerick scrambled to figure what the hell that meant, finally running his vocal through a rotating Leslie speaker. Lennon loved it and later had to be dissuaded from swinging from a rope to achieve a similar effect.

The Beatles hated Yellow Submarine.

Yoko sat through studio sessions in a bed wearing a tiara.

But I ALWAYS wanted Jesse's Girl!
