Number one album never to be listened to ever! Adam Sandler's personal albums. Horrendous load of tripe!

"Well, there's a vinyl of his single on Amazon UK marketplace"

If it was an album of Mr. Bean it would probably be funnier that the t.v. shows/films.

"And a man at the back said 'Get ready to attack.' and it it turned into a Ballroom Blitz"

You can't beat the classics, well not without damaging the spines.

I have a copy of William Shatner's 'The Transformed Man'. I apologise to humanity for this.

Wonderful album!

Try also "Has Been" - particularly "I Can't Get Behind That"

Really? I thought it was just my addled Star Trek bias deluding me into thinking it was good. 'Mr Tambourine Man' is in a class all of its own.

I'm buying 'Has Been' next.

Shatner's attempts are so much better than Nimoy's (c.f. "If I Had A Hammer" on "Highly Illogical") but neither are as funny as Paul Anka singing "Wonderwall"

I had a record of Olivier doing Shakespeare.

It was boring.

The man couldn't carry a tune and the rhyming was off.

Might make a good play though.

Shakespeare: Ow!! Stop It! Gerroff!

Sorry

Anyone heard Peter Sellers singing: "


They're digging up Grandpa's remains to lay the sewer drains.

Oh mate, please don't excavate....."

That's all I remember and it must be 40 years since I heard that. Anyone know of the record it is on, even if not currently available?


Also Milligan and his song about Wormwood Scrubs?*

* A prison of great renown, for those not familiar with the name. I don't know if it is still in use, but if you hear someone on an old British tv program saying anything about going down to the Scrubs, it's 10 to 1 that it's a reference to this prison.

There's a fellow in the prison I'm locked in,
he's a most peculiar fellow.
His name is Eccles and he's in cell nine
and his voice is soft and mellow.
He keeps a fruitcart in his cell
and all the convicts knows it
he does not sing or rave about,
his fruit he simply blows it:
*long sequence of raspberries in tune*

Something like that?

Didn't mean to offend you BK, but that was the mental image bunyip accidentally created for me.

Shaky!

According to Wikipedia he was the highest selling male performer of the 1980's here in Blighty.

Watched Shaky at Glastonbury this weekend - some poor man had brought along a wooden, panelled, interior door (painted green) and held it above his head all the way through the set .... And Shaky didn't sing it! - How gutted must he have been?

'Goldeneye' has always been an awful ear worm for me. Tina Turner has a lot to answer for.
