Ridiculous music.

[GirlinContempt]

I'm making some CDs for my listening amusement in the basement at work. At least one or two have to contain nothing but ridiculousness. Ideas please?
Hot For Teacher will probably make the list.

The last few days, I've been rocking out to Kiss and the Jackson 5.

[GirlinContempt]

1. Also trooper.

It doesn't get any more ridiculous than it's association with Canadian politicians.

2. I have an album with 12 different versions of Louie Louie

can't get any more ridiculous than that. Why I paid $7 for it is beyond me but the thing must 20 years old

[GirlinContempt]

5. TWELVE?!

How is this possible?

[LynneSin]

21. You know how many people did a cover of that song??!!

This is the album, but I have it in vinyl form and btw, I stand corrected - it's 10 versions of Louie Louie

[ghostsofgiants]

34. It doesn't even have Black Flag's cover of it.

[MAGICBULLET]

44. I think it's has been done more than 2000 times

check it out -

my favorite take on it would have to be "Have Love Will Travel" by the Imperialites
you can hear that at this site -

[Left Is Write]

3. As long as you're listening to KISS....

put "Crazy, Crazy Nights" on a CD.

There is nothing more ridiculous than lyrics like, "If life is a radio, turn it up to ten." :D

[GirlinContempt]

6. I love KIss

Poetic genius.
"When love rears its head, I wanna get on your case
Ooh baby, wanna put my log in your fireplace,"

[Left Is Write]

13. Loud...I wanna hear it loud...right between the eyes...

[GirlinContempt]

17. I know you wanna cross the border and you know the doctor's orders

[Left Is Write]

23. The plaster's gettin' harder and my love is perfection

[GirlinContempt]

29. So you been to the market And the meat looks good tonight

[mainegreen]

4. GWAR's "Vlad the Impaler"

Vlad, Vlad, Vlad the impaler!

[GirlinContempt]

9. I almost got trampled last time I went to see GWAR

Good call :D

[unpossibles]

16. me too

I realized that I don't have the energy of the rest of the pit, who seemed to be about 17 or so.

Still a great show. hey, if you like GWAR, check out Captured! By Robots - an amazing act.

[ghostsofgiants]

42. While we're on the topic of Gwar...

[mainegreen]

46. Great dubbing on that!

:rofl:

[bridgit]

7. Celine Dion...

most nearly anything :thumbsup: :hi:

[GirlinContempt]

10. The line between ridiculous and horrifying is thin

;)

[bridgit]

15. hahahaha, yes...

yes it is :7

[asthmaticeog]

8. How ridiculous?

Like, Telly Savalas singing "Rubber Bands and Bits of String" ridiculous, or merely cheese-metal ridiculous, like Angel?

[GirlinContempt]

12. I'm open.

[asthmaticeog]

18. ...

thatswhatshesaid

Damn my lack of willpower. :banghead:

[GirlinContempt]

19. You just wanna throw your log in my fireplace

[asthmaticeog]

20. Let me cut your cake with my knife.

[GirlinContempt]

27. I wanna hear your engine roar

Before I'm in the door

[eyepaddle]

22. Y'know, of all the things I never thought I'd read

on DU--this statement has, repeat just HAS to be in the top two or three! :rofl:

PS I take it you are feeling better?

[GirlinContempt]

28. Yes, I am

thanks :)

[eyepaddle]

43. I'm glad to hear that

:)

And you could always try Hell Patrol off of Priest's "Painkiller" album. Yeah, they're about my favorite band, but a bunch of their catalog is sublimely ridiculous. In my opinion their saving grace was how they never really tried to pull that off with a straight face though.

For sheer :wtf: -ness (at least lyrically) it can be hard to top Yes. Your's is No Disgrace.

I rest my case.

[unpossibles]

11. David Byrne has some fun stuff

"Miss America" from the Feelings album is fun and keeps you awake at work. Plus it has one of my favorite lines:

I kissed America,
When she was fleecing me.
And she knows I understand
That she needs to be free.

I miss America,
And sometimes she does too.
And sometimes I think of her
When she is fucking you.

the band Firewater also has some good stuff on "Man on the Burning Tightrope"

Or do you mean completely silly? How about some Zappa or Mojo Nixon or Dead Kennedys? "Plastic Jesus" by Jello Biafra and Mojo Nixon would fit the bill well.

[GirlinContempt]

14. Elvis is Everywhere is certainly going on

I actually don't find the DK that ridiculous though :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. "Barbie Girl" is pretty ridiculous...and I love it.

"TubThumping"
"Build Me up Buttercup"
I have an entire CD of shout it out at the top of your lungs music that WannaB and I love to play in the car. :)

[GirlinContempt]

30. ooo there's a really good cover of Build Me Up Buttercup I should hunt down again!

Thanks! :)

[bbernardini]

36. The one on the "Mallrats" soundtrack?

By The Goops, I think.

[GirlinContempt]

37. No, I remember it was dudes singing

but that one was pretty good too

[datasuspect]

25. "god gave rock and roll to you"

the blessed sacrament of music.

plus a punk rock version of "hail mary" that i forgot who did it.

"i kill everything i fuck" by gg allin is always a crowd pleaser

[GirlinContempt]

31. Very nice

[Inchworm]

26. Ridiculous you say?

this one gets stuck in my head when I hear it, but it is funny.

:hi:

[GirlinContempt]

33. My Bloodhound Gang pick would probably be

[ghostsofgiants]

38. When it comes to Bloodhound Gang and ridiculousness...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ePHcz4V0xE (The ridiculous part comes in at 2:20)

[ghostsofgiants]

32. "Rock You Like A Hurrican" is a must.

[taterguy]

35. Just about anything Ray Stevens did

Ya know, that guy that did the Streak
Somewhere at home I have an anthology of Fifties Novelty Rock, things like Rubber Biscuit, Flying Purple People Eater and Beep Beep. I got it from the Public Library. If I were you I'd go there and just browse around.

[Evoman]

39. Weird Al?

[NewJeffCT]

40. Butthole Surfers

[slj0101]

50. Yes! "Kuntz" should be a staple in everyone's mix CD.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

41. I remember a Jerry Lewis movie where there were three (four?) Jerry Lewises in drag, singing

"Eeeeeee eeeee eeeee eeeee... nah nahnah NAH!"

Am I the only one who remembers that?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

45. lilly allen is pretty ridiculous, though i dont think you like her type of poppy beats.

[MAGICBULLET]

47. do you like 80s ridiculousness that isn't hard rock??

check out Crazy Joe & The Variable Speed Band - a song called 'Eugene'

<http://www.themadmusicarchive.com/song_details.aspx?SongID=3551>

[ghostsofgiants]

48. Oh, how about some Electric Six?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vboGDSUGCyY

[Dr. Strange]

49. Just how ridiculous are we talking?

I mean, if you want ridiculous, I would suggest Wild Man Larry Fischer. Nothing beats "My Name is Larry."

Here's a trailer for a movie about him.

Wiki-pedia calls him "the missing link between Syd Barrett and Homer Simpson", so the ridiculousness is baked right in!

[kwassa]

51. "I'm too sexy" for my hat Right Said Fred

[Xipe Totec]

52. Green Jelly - Cereal Killer Soundtrack
