For your listening pleasure (?)

OK. When you search for the Coz cat for your friend the Atomic Editor, occasionally you'll end up with nothing. Not the case this time. While I didn't find the photo (Merujo, happy hunting!), I managed to come across some seriously messed up stuff at Frank's Vinyl Museum.

You'll need RealPlayer to hear these.

First, we start with a little Bill Cosby. Have a listen as Coz puts his imprint on "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." Mmmmmm....

Next, we have ABBA singing phonetically again, but this time it's in Spanish. A little "Reina Danzante," anyone?

One of my favorite finds at Frank's site was "Monsters Go Disco," where loser monsters Count Chocula, Frankenberry, and Boo Berry agonize over what to do on a boring Saturday evening. You see where this is going. (It was nice to see Boo Berry with a gig, since he was apparently the weak link in the cereal monster chain. Damn you, General Mills.)

A slightly more serious track was the original "Mission: Impossible" theme. Done in it's inimitable 5/4 time, this particular version is longer than the 30 seconds the TV show allowed, so you get to hear the bridge and the rest of the song as it was originally written. Good stuff.

No list of completely bizarre tuneage would be complete without a visit from Muhammand Ali and His Gang as they take on Mr. Tooth Decay. Howard Cosell provides the play-by-play. I swear I didn't make that up.

Finally, especially for Merujo and her friend April, I include one of the most insidious Saturday-morning songs of all time. Enjoy!

  • Two words: FLEE GLE! (Okay, it's only one, but...)

    Dude, that Monsters Go Disco thing is f'ed up. I have this vision of one of the voiceover actors finishing this session and checking into the Chateau Marmont, realizing his career has hit the crapper with his "Booberry" bit, and overdosing on a Carrie Fisher-sized back of smack. (And not the sugar kind.)
