Harry Kinnear Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Lieutenant Pigeon - Mouldy Old Dough, a classic song that so many thought was shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Shatner's musical output has gone through the initial "Jesus, this is shite" reaction, past the hipster "so bad it's good" phase, and has now entered the stage where people are willing to admit that they actually like his spoken word epics for what they are. It's about time Nimoy had the same treatment; he also did a nice line in dramatic readings, and some perfectly passable versions of (what are now) classic standards of the era. Would recommend his "Highly Illogical" album to anyone who likes music of the era, a good bit of cheese, and (obviously) Star Trek. Edit: tremendous shout above for Florence Foster Jenkins. Transcending awful technique to become curiously compelling. Would similarly recommend the (purposeful) comedy duo Jonathan & Darlene Edwards.

BFTD Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 One of my favourite albums is Disco Volante by Mr Bungle, but I wasn't much a fan of their self-titled debut, which was a hot mess of universally-panned w**k (half of the lyrics are about onanism). However, this track had me interested enough to keep an ear out for their future releases: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) I quite like The Frog Chorus by Paul McCartney, he did a lot worse in the 80s notably his duet with Michael Jackson The Girl Is Mine - the repartee at the end being particularly cringeworthy.

A classic album IMO. I'm not such a fan of his more recent output though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
