A warning, tonight’s DUAN is NSFW and may be considered highly offensive to anyone that is prudish or never heard the lyrics to current rap songs. Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine are so absurd they are pure genius. It may just be me, but somehow converting heavy metal, rock classics and gangster rap into lounge music is just too perfect to describe and must be heard to be understood. Some of his amazing albums include: Apertif for Destruction, The Sunny Side of the Moon, Dick at Night, Silent Nightclub, Viva la Vodka and Back in Black Tie. While they have a huge catalog of classics, they recently released a new album with a rare original that is pretty good for these troubled times. So tonight I thought we could all use some absurdity, enjoy…
What better song for Dick Cheese to cover than this?
For those that prefer metal…
I would have never known who Khia was without this cover…
and because a wise person often says “There is a Jovi song for that” this one is for @emmerdoesnotrepresentme
Sorry if this was too much cheese & to anyone that is lactose intolerant. Thanks for your support of Deadsplinter & DUAN.
The Police – Don’t Stand So Close To Me
I can’t listen to the lounge tunes now, but will definitely do it tomorrow.
Here’s an old school naughty song from 40+ years ago, by Wayne County and the Electric Chairs:
Note, Wayne became Jayne….
Awesome! Has Keitel taken over your account? Nod once if you need help.
@Loveshaq
Hey man! Don’t make me post Lurkers
Keep posting those Lurkers @KeitelBlacksmith…I’d love another dog. 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕
Nah, this old lady was listening to Wayne in college, when Keitel was in elementary school. But if ever in a hostage situation I will reach out to you!
Another name I haven’t heard in years, great pick.
I forgot about Richard Cheese, didn’t know he was still crooning.
Here’s a cover of The Delmore Brothers classic Blues Stay Away From Me – Jorma Kaukonen and Bela Fleck
And one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs – Tonight I’ll Be Stayin’ Here With You
Nice. One of my favorite Xmas albums is the Bela Fleck album – Jingle All the Way.
When our son was a newly minted teen he loved Blink-182. One day he was listening to music in his room and I could hear him laughing. I asked, What was so funny? He finally fessed up and played this song for me. Basically it is Carlin’s words you can’t say on tv.
I suppose I should have been horrified but he was already introduced to the Dead Kennedys (by me). At least I got to him first before Tony Hawk Pro Skater.
There is also a Cheese for the DKs, in fact they did Too Drunk to Fuck & this classic…
and they have done a few Blink 182 songs, like this one…
No problem:
AIC, there’s a Cheese for this…
Good stuff. I imagine Mr. Cheese was inspired by this SCTV classic.
That’s so good! Is that Rick Moranis? I always thought of the Bill Murray lounge singer as his inspiration but you could be right.
That is the great Rick Moranis, yes. There probably was some Bill Murray inspiration, too, but that first video is a lot like this bit.
…well…I’ve always had a soft spot for this video/voiceover
…not quite the same as the crew you’re rep-ing this evening…but I always wondered if it was what gave this guy the idea for his act?
Is that first video an ad for a new Apple translation app?
That second one made me think of the German nerd rapper Tracky Birthday
…I don’t know who did the voiceover but iirc it was originally just a video of a live rap battle that descended into a fight…& the translation is genuinely an attempt to paraphrase the content of the original “dialogue”…but what gave them the idea to do it I never did know…a friend sent it to me way back when because they (correctly) thought I’d get a kick out of it
“I always wondered if it was what gave this guy the idea for his act?”
Seriously? Mr. B has been posting “ChapHop” videos for 14 years. Get over yourself.
This is shameful. Mac Davis just died two days ago and no one thought to bring up the proto-“Baby Stay the **** Away From Me”? Yes, here is his #1 hit, “Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me.” Before he became famous in his own right, he was one of Elvis Presley’s songwriters, and gifted the world with, among others, Elvis’s “The Ghetto.” I’ll try to find that and post it next, thought it is off-topic.
I saw that the other day & meant to mention it. I accept your shame & offer you Cartman singing his most famous hit as an offering & plea for forgiveness.
Really, feel no shame. There are so many songs in this genre and your Cheese list was pretty encyclopedic, and others have chimed in before me. I just happen to be stuck in perpetual childhood, as my FYCE contributions will attest, so it’s always the Nixon/Ford/Carter era for me.
Oh man. How’d I miss that? A giant.
Here is the best I could come up with. You must watch a movie called “Change of Habit.” In it, a young nun, Mary Tyler Moore, is doing charitable deeds in a poor Puerto Rican community. I don’t now what the term for this is but she’s a nun who wears regular street clothing. A young doctor, Elvis Presley, is also doing charitable work and they fall in love. He doesn’t know she’s a nun. At some point, I believe in the company of disadvantaged Puerto Rican youths, the young doctor (Elvis) pulls out his guitar and sings this song. Mary Tyler Moore is smitten. Wiki tells me that Elvis, who made so many great musicals, including my favorite, “Viva Las Vegas,” made his last movie appearance in “Change of Habit.” It also tells me that Ed Asner (he went on to play Mary’s boss Lou Grant a year later in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”) is in this but I don’t remember him.
