hkellick: (Music)
For those of you looking for scary yet amusing covers of familiar songs, I suggest y'all check out Richard Cheese. He has four albums out: Lounge Against The Machine, Tuxicity, I'd Like A Virgin (LOVE the title!) and, his latest, Aperitif for Destruction. He does... lounge covers of familiar songs. The original concept was to do lounge covers of Alternative and later hits. He does a cover of "Cover" which is far too reminiscent of Sesame Street (AUGH!) and "Only Happy When It Rains" is VERY Reminiscent of "Singin' In The Rain" (Including tapdance part.) He's turned "Rape Me" by Nirvana into a swinging Cha Cha coverand "Sunday Bloody Sunday" into a Mambo.
I'd originally heard of Richard Cheese from [livejournal.com profile] ar_lain but he's on the iTunes Music Store now (with "Lounge Against The Machine" and "Aperitif for Destruction" only, sadly. Want to get my hands on the other two!)
His latest album takes a swing after "Welcome To The Jungle" (You have NEVER heard Guns n Roses like this. Never. Guns n Roses as a swingin' lounge song.) "Somebody Told Me" is now a sad, weepy lounge cover. And "Been Caught Stealing" features an actual dog.. who may or may not be shot.
Seriously, just for laughs, check this out. And then when your brain melts.. blame [livejournal.com profile] ar_lain and not me!
