Florence though, she is definitely in a category literally of her own. I must admire her steelfaced pianist who managed to surpress his horror and laughter.
It is rather horrible if you are not in the mood and are unprepared but hysterically funny if you are up for vocal disasters. |
I've heard of several of those you list if only because there was a local radio show that ran for a couple of decades here in Los Angeles hosted by a fellow who called himself Dr. Demento. He played some of the strangest, weirdest, 'wotdahell' numbers ever heard; he was also the guy who broke Weird Al into the public consciousness. Go to YouTube and search for "Dr. Demento"; you might find some nuggets to add to your collection...
