[net.music] Horrible Music: E. Power Biggs

cw (05/13/82)

Has anyone else heard E. Power Biggs playing the Polonaise Militaire on
his pedal harpsichord?  How about the March Militaire?  Certainly bizarre.
And I have a preview record on which old E himself describes the music
in a breathy tone as "music sunny-side up".  Too bad we can't send music
samples through the net.

Also check out E. Power playing Scott Joplin on the 
pedal harpsichord.

Add to the list of oddities a work by the Yiddish People,
called Kosher Delight, the first part of which goes :

Hoy, hoy, hubby hubby bubby,
hoy bo bo Boy boy boy!

Now what you hear is not some crap
It's me 'n my buddies doin' the rap!
We may be old, but we are not Feeble
We go by the name of the Yiddish People.
My name is Max and I deal with Tax
I'm the world's best CPA!
Itemize the booze, itemize the broads
with me you will never pay!

I own
Ho-tels, Mo-tels, Condo-mini-ums,
proper-ty in Beverly Hills,
even in the Slums!

(sung to the rhythm of Rapper's Delight)

On the same record (the Rhino label) are such hits as
"Making Love in a Subaru" and "Pencil Neck Geek".
