Bad Music Sunday Vol. 4: Celebrity Music

Friends,

Here is another edition of Bad Music Sunday, this time starring celebrities who have tried to make a respectable record, instead of a comedy record. Now, I suppose if the jokes failed then it would qualify for Bad Music Sunday, kind of like Joe Pesci's album, but comedy that fails to be funny isn't funny, just uncomfortable, unlike music that fails to be good to listen to, which is then kind of funny. Now, on with the show:


Eddie Murphy - Party All the Time


Don Johnson - Heartbeat


Steven Seagal - Girl It's Alright


The Ordinary Fear of God - Weight of a Man (this features Russell Crowe on vocals)


Sandfrog - LITL (this is Scott Spiezio's band...Spiezio used to be a baseball player up to a couple days ago)


Paris Hilton - Nothing In This World


OH, and you knew this last one was coming. I nearly went with Leonard Nimoy's song "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" but in a strange kind of way, it's enjoyable. But instead, here's the captain of the Enterprise.

William Shatner - Rocket Man


I'm never one to not respond to my audience....

Patrick Swayze - She's Like the Wind
Complete with subtitles so you can fully enjoy the lyrics


David Hasselhoff - Jump In My Car
This video, clearly made for Europe since the driver's seat is on the wrong side, is very creepy. Every forty-year old pervert who drives slow past high school's probably has a version of this song playing on a continuous loop. I could have went with the Hoff video standard, Hooked on a Feeling, but you know, there's something about a song that kinda sorta tries to sexy up an older man bamboozling young girls into his cool car that is just special


Bad4Good - Nineteen
The lead singer is Danny Cooksey. You may recognize him as the kid from the popular Nickelodeon show Salute Your Shorts!, or maybe, just maybe, you recognize his voice from the popular TV show Tiny Toons, where he played evil millionaire Montana Max.


I'll save some other celebrity music missteps for later (like Bruce Willis and the horrors of Blues Brothers 2000...though I think I will spare Keanu Reeves since all he did was play bass...thought Jada Pinkett Smith's shitty industrial band that was supposed to play a concert at the What's Up Lounge some time ago will not be spared), but I do want to add one last bad music link here that refers to last week's posts about bad cover songs. It seems that the movie Sky High has a soundtrack made up mostly of shitty cover songs, including what has to be the worst rendition of ...And She Was ever recorded. If you want to give it a listen, check out the soundtrack's Amazon page by clicking on these words.
