Location: Chicago		There are some covers that are SO bad, you discover a guilty pleasure.

For me there is always the big-band heavy metal stylings of Pat Boone, like this downright EVIL cover of "Smoke on the Water." Do we need another "Smoke on the Water"? No, we do NOT.

It's hard to tell the difference between this and satire (Tony Clifton sings Dino, King of Cool in this clip from "Man on the Moon"... fast forward to 1:22)

Man, that ROCKS!!!!

Location: SE Michigan		OMG!!! Pat Boone covering Smoke on the Water? What makes it so much more awful is that he is completely serious. It's like a Saturday Night Live skit. Poor guy, what the hell was he thinking? Doesn't he have handlers that stop him from doing such things?

Thanks for giving me s great laugh this morning.

I can't hate the Kirk... at least that one was a gag intentionally.

Uh oh, after seeing the following video, I am compelled to retract my earlier "Kirk" comment.

Thiese guys are very entertaining live!

 

They also do a great Bohemian Rhapsody.

Location: Chicago		Some of you remember the wild days of punk. Dead Kennedys had a song "Too Drunk to F*ck" (apologies to the squeamish). Here is a really cool, almost catatonic BOSSA NOVA, acoustic version of that raging song. Beyond bizzare!!!

I thought it was going to be more like The Nice (Keith Emerson) covering "America": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45pIvr4gJD4

But maybe you're not an old enough hippie to remember that one.
