[net.music] More Horrible Music

terryl (05/14/82)

     Weird Al's first attempt at music was called "Belvedere(sp?) Cruising",
aptly sung with just an accordion for the musical background. If you "loved"
weird Al's other attempts, you'll love this one!!!!

     On the subject of Jewish music, there were a couple of songs by one
Frank Gallop titled "The Ballad of Irving" and "The Ballad of Irving's Son".
I do believe these songs are still available on an album titled "When You're
in Love the Whole World is Jewish" by Mr. Gallop, even though I have not seen
it myself. The two songs have so many Jewish stereotypes (i.e. the real domin-
eering Jewish mother, many refernces to Jewish food) that even a Gentile(I hope
that's the correct term!!!) can understand it. For really bad Jewish music
these two are a must-hear.

How about "The Pope Smokes Dope" by David[?] Peel?

Or anything by Wild Man Fisher...

Speaking of horrible music, several old favorites come to mind.
I don't know if there are any of these available:

1. Johnathan and Darlene.  This is off key singing and piano
   done by Paul Weston on the piano with his wife, Joe Stafford.

2. Music for non-thinkers, By the Gukenheimer Saurkraut Band.
   This is a terrible German band, recorded in a department store.

3. My all time favorite is called "Terribly Sophisticated Songs".
   This is a super album done by Henry Mancini as a spoof of the
   big band sound. It has such great songs such as "In a cafeteria
   with you", and "When the crabgrass blooms again".


Also, some years ago Stan Freeburg did an album called "The United
States of America". This is a satire on American history from the
discovery of America thru the revolutionary war. Does anyone know
if he ever did a sequel to this one? I know this album caused a 
lot of controversy and it almost didn't get released.
