The original, of course, was Horst Buchholz being tortured by diabolical agents of the KGB to the tune “Itsy-Bitsy-Teeny-Weeny Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini” in the Billy Wilder comedy hit, “One, Two, Three”, starring James Cagney. Fiendish.
How about “Hey There, Delilah” with its wounded-cow-sounding refrain: “Oooooooooh, it’s whatcha do to meeee...” Make it stop; make it STOP!
“Boogie Fever” a disco song from The Sylvers..
1) Sheryl Crow
2) Bruce Springsteen
3) Nina Hagen
4) Celine Dion (except when she is doing AC/DC)
5) something O Connor (Que ball)
6) Neil Young singing about war
7) Greed Day (not a typo)
8) Grass Hopper Symphony
9) Madonna
10) Myself
I can’t picture in my minds eye Itsy-Bitsy-Teeny-Weeny Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini and Jimmy Cagney. It must have been fiendish. It’s almost as bad as Mickey Rooney starring in a love story opposite Katherine Zeta Jones.
Better still, how about all of the artists you listed in ONE band. Talk about nuclear.
“Mohammed al Bakr and His Port Said Orchestra”, Korean Television, Bagpipes and drums(I successfully dispersed a large unruly group of people with a closed loop of it,along with al Bakra’s tape). Iron Butterfly might work on jihadists; anything sung by Roseanne Barr, Any crappy(I’m being redundant) Gangsta Rap..
Hmm Barry White, Barry Manilow,Barbra Streisand & Michael Jackson would work if they wanted info out of me.
Mohammed alBakr and His Port Said Orchestra?!! I must look that up.
A friend just spent several months in S. Korea and will be returning to the states shortly (said he can’t wait to step foot on native soil). I’ll be sure to ask about televised programming there.
Is that Gangsta Rap with a capital C?
Cagney’s “One, Two, Three” is a hilarious Cold War send-up; if you haven’t seen it, find a rental, by all means, and be prepared to laugh your butt off. Cagney plays the president of the German branch of Coca-Cola, who’s looking for a promotion to the Atlanta bottling plant. The only problem is, he’s been asked to baby-sit the daughter of the national president when the girl - a ditsy twenty-something - shows up for a holiday from the US. The daughter no sooner arrives in Germany than she runs away and gets pregnant - by an East German communist whom she meets at a May Day parade. Cagney’s challenge: transform the young Leftist into a modern capitalist - and a member of a German royal family, at that - before the girl’s father shows up for his own visit!
Wow, that film was pushing the envelope before there was one. It had better be funny. :^)
Now that is hilarious.
How about Fire by Elmer Fudd.
Olivia Newton-John, Barry Manilow. Blecch.
Hilarious, guaranteed. You won’t be disappointed.
That'll break anyone!
(might take a couple tries to get it to load - Youtube is being ornery tonight.)
Er, I guess that was more than two words, but you get the idea.
You’re right; loading’s a pain. Will check later.
