Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: Acorn4 Date: 17 Sep 12 - 03:05 PM I've actually done two of these, one called "The Leonard Cohen Shantymen", the other in the style of Ozzie Osbourne:- "Always Keep a Child Ballad up your Sleeve" - will probably get them on Soundcloud at some point. |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: Claire M Date: 17 Sep 12 - 12:51 PM Hiya, Maddy Prior doing vocals like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkRWTWBBsAc Or a whole album of blues covers. I'd love to hear her do both. She probably wouldn't be able to sing ever again after the 1st one, so maybe not a good idea …. |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: RangerSteve Date: 31 Oct 02 - 04:02 PM Hank Williams,Jr., Sings Temperence Songs. And not an album, but a label y0u won't see on any Willie Nelson recording: "A portion of each sale goes to Partnership For a Drug-Free America". Elvis Presley Sings Christmas Songs and Doesn't Butcher Them. |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 31 Oct 02 - 10:11 AM JJ... I'll have to check the photo... Art Thieme sent me a photo of the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald, with an electric guitar skillfully added, so that his grimace as he's clutching his stomach makes him look like your every day heavy metal guitarist stretching for that high note.. Jerry |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: JJ Date: 31 Oct 02 - 09:24 AM Alas, Jerry, I'd love to believe that one's true, too, but if you look at the cover of the book Bush is holding, you'll see it's a mirror image of the one the girl's holding, a sure sign of Photoshoppery. An excellent place to check out all these things (especially the ones we want to believe!) is snopes.com |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 31 Oct 02 - 08:52 AM My son sent me a great photo of George W. holding an open book, talking to a little girl who appeared to be reading along with him. The only difference between the two of them was that he was holding his book upside down.. Jerry |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: alanabit Date: 30 Oct 02 - 07:45 AM Doing the Irish Pub scene with my old band "The ABITS" a few years back, someone shouted out a request for "The Wild Rover". "In G - reggae," I muttered to my companions - and that's how we did it. It did at least save us from requests for the rest of the rent-a-Mick set! |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 29 Oct 02 - 10:26 PM Well, as for songs, I'd love to hear someone announce that they are going to do Orange Blossom Special at a Bluegrass Festival, and after the EEEEhaaaahs died down, do it in waltz time.. Jerry |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: Justa Picker Date: 29 Oct 02 - 10:17 PM Rick Fielding performing his own tribute to: KC and The Sunshine Band's Greatest Hits (featuring "That's The Way I Like It" in dropped D tuning, and "Shake Your Booty" in DADGAD!) ...or...

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: GUEST,Chicken Charlie Date: 29 Oct 02 - 09:58 PM I think Winona Rider should debut as a singer with a cover of "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves," maybe with Jailhouse Rock on the B-side. My favorite from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir would be John Henry, heavy on the ebonics, of course. As for Jean Richie, I've been asked if I know "Stairway to Heaven" while holding a dulcimer on my lap. I begged off, but who knows what a more experienced player could come up with. The B-part might be tricky to pull off. CC |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: alanabit Date: 29 Oct 02 - 03:49 PM Now that Rolf Harris really has done "Stairway to Heaven" and Elvis Costello really has performed an Abba song, it is becoming quite difficult to come up with fiction which is less likely than fact. I wonder if Michael Jackson has ever thought of singing "Little Children"? |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: GUEST Date: 29 Oct 02 - 02:10 PM k.d. lang sings Anita Bryants Greatest Hits.Nick Cave sings Gilbert O'Sullivan. Maria Callas sings songs from Camelot. |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 28 Oct 02 - 09:17 AM Many years ago, Frank Sinatra did a classic album titled For Swinging Lovers. How about Punch the Horse doing an album For Animal Lovers? Jerry |
|
Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: HuwG Date: 28 Oct 02 - 08:32 AM I think the spell-checker bowdlerised RangerSteve's post; surely, that should have been, "Ozzy Osbourn and Fiends".
Some other suggestions: |
|
Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: RangerSteve Date: 27 Oct 02 - 05:53 PM For no reason except to make a very bad pun: Arnold Schwarzeneger playing fugues on the organ - he could call it "I'll Be Bach". Like I said, it was a bad pun. Anyway, since so many people are doing the "and Friends" type of album, how about Ozzy Osbourn and Friends: with Connie Francis, Vic Damone, the Three Tenors, Jean Ritchie, Jean Redpath, The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, The Lennon Sisters, Frankie Yankovich, The Kingston Trio, Hanson, Menudo, Earl Scruggs.... |
|
Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: Jim Krause Date: 27 Oct 02 - 03:41 PM Oh, and does anybody remember Mrs. Miller? She was the granny who recorded a cover of "A Hard Day's Night." What a hoot! Jim |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 27 Oct 02 - 03:24 PM Waterson-Carthy's "12 Favourite Elvis" Martin Carthy sings a great Heartbreak Hotel. A lot better than Elvis I'd say, but then I would (but Martin wouldn't, typically.) He sang it on a recent programme on the BBC, and I believe he's recorded it. And Norma Waterson could sing anything and it'd be memorable. |
|
Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: JJ Date: 27 Oct 02 - 02:39 PM In the realm of the real let us recall Kate Smith singing "The Ballad of the Green Berets," and the infamous Ethel Merman Disco Album. (Kate also recorded a Hootenanny album.) |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: allanwill Date: 27 Oct 02 - 02:15 PM Mark Knopfler "My Favourite Guitar Licks". Rolling Stone describes it as "... a mind-numbing two hours of the same 8 notes played over and over and over ...." Allan |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: Mr Red Date: 27 Oct 02 - 01:41 PM DMcG But they would need two takes! |
|
Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: DMcG Date: 27 Oct 02 - 01:26 PM Re: High Level Ranters sing "New York, New York". Be careful if you buy this one, there's a New York a few miles out from Newcastle on Tyne towards Whitley Bay. The High Level Ranters might sing about that one! |

Subject: RE: Albums You'll Never Hear From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 27 Oct 02 - 10:19 AM A lot of laughs, here! Maybe even funnier are the albums that actually get made that seem almost as ridiculous. I must admit, I didn't rush out and buy the Pat Boone Sings Heavy Metal CD, but it probably could match most of these suggestions. And then, there are rock stars, like Paul McCartney and Billy Joel who try to write "classical" music. "Serious" music. I haven't heard any of their stuff, either, and probably never will because I wouldn't buy it, and I can't believe that it will ever be heard on the radio. Opera stars doing pop and rock music are a "classic" example of the mismatching of singing styles. Everyone from Mario Lanza to Pavrotti has tried it. Lanza had a successful career doing popular music at a time when reworkings of classical music were often heard on the radio. I don't think he could do it, now. I see that Rod Stewart has an album of standards out, with a repertoire much more like Frank Sinatra or Ella Fitzgerald might record. The reviews have been kind-hearted but certainly not praiseworthy. Kind of a "Way To Go, Minus." And Aretha Franklin has tried her voice at Opera. Actors want to be singers, singers want to be actors, rock stars want to sing "Serious" music, highly trained singers want to rock out. It rarely works. Reality is sometimes funnier than anything the most fertile mind could imagine. Jerry |
