...that you (thankfully) missed when they were released. Just stumbled across this Herb-Alpert-&-the-Tijuana-Brass-meets-Slim-Whitman-and-the-Bay-City-Rollers abomination this morning:
I feel thoroughly violated.
And I mean that in a bad way...

I won a DJ copy of this song by Jimmy Cross many, many years ago.

Oh-no ! Eloise is a classic ! They really went to town with it, didnt they. Such much drama, emotion and pathos packed into a 5 minute pop song. I have always enjoyed it, for some reaon it was always being played on the local radio station in my youth. On a night with good reception for AM radio it sounded glorious coming out of the 2 inch transistor radio speaker. This version sounds as if someone has "remixed/remastered" it, sometimes the songs come out worse.  |

For me, it's toss up between Terry Jacks "Seasons in the Sun" and Paul Anka's "Having My Baby."
On behalf of all Canadians, I apologize for what we have loosed upon the world. It's a national shame, so I will not post links.

If you have never had a reason to hate me, here's a good one.
I think this tune is about a Kentucky Fried Chicken 28-piece family meal.

A song so terrible it was never released. It escaped.

“Elouise” was quite a big hit over here…… and I think The Damned also had a hit with a cover of it in the’80s.

A song so terrible it was never released. It escaped. I was racking my brain to come up with something, maybe by Lenard Nimoy or Jim Neighbors, by this wins hands down ! I Give up! |

I'm sorry, let me know if you need me to take some time off. Sadly, this is one most of us have heard.

Bonus points for a terrible job of lip-synching and the bilious dinner jacket:

My musical stylings mirror those of Slim. But with a Les Paul and a Marshall.

I do grudgingly admit that I've always respected the grace and poise with which Slim presented his overriding awfulness. I own a Slim Whitman "best of" TV album and a 1953 magazine featuring him on the cover. How many of you can honestly say that?
Uh-huh...I thought not… This album sits in an honored slot in my LP collection: right next to the Frank Fontaine/"Crazy Guggenheim" album.

Country Dick Montana of The Beat Farmers passed away in the middle of a performance.
You gotta give points for that.
