Can YOU envisage Pleasance as a successful pop star?

I think it would have been all right if he rapped the first pages of Suskind's "Perfume" over Berio's viola sequenzas.

Cameron Mitchell got to croon an unsettling "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" in The Toolbox Murders. that should give us some idea of what a Donald Pleasance LP might have been like.

otoh, i imagine an Angela Pleasance LP would have been quite a treat. must be those sharp features and witchy eyes.

donald is genius in cul de sac, so the answer is yes!

i'd queue up for The Bible on tape if it were read by Pleasance as Will Penny's psychotic Preacher Quint.

and, speaking of the donald, what Mercy has spared us a Trump novelty rap single to cash in on his Apprentice popularity? ("you're f-f-f-f-fired! biatch"). not complaining, mind...

nothing can possibly beat the peter wyngarde album. "billy was a queer pilly sexy hippy/he wore gear that was frilly hairy zippy..."

mental connection to Wyngarde via Peter + Quint? clever!

now that i know this album exists, it has become U&K to track down a copy. label/release details?

― echoinggrove (echoinggrove), Thursday, 6 May 2004 14:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Available on CD on the RPM label, distributed by Cherry Red, pretty easy to get or order anywhere.

and here i was bracing for a good hunt. ah well. will investigate nevertheless. thanks!

This thread is making me want to dig out my David Hemmings album for some reason.

Donald is the narrator on this album if you are really jonesing for a fix though:

Cameron Mitchell does indeed sing in "The Tool box Murders", but it's a terrible film.

Donald Pleasance & Vincent Price reading Poe to some crimejazz maybe ? would love to listen to that Wyngard album though...

If John Carpenter had done the music, yes.

The album should be called..."The Pewma".

I nearly cheered him in that movie for not saying "pooma" like everyone else.

holy shit. too bad those are custom-made figures. i was hoping that there was some long-lost merchandising tie-in to remind me of the strangeness of this world. but then again, the fact someone spent time making those figures is consolation enough.

"I nearly cheered him in that movie for not saying "pooma" like everyone else. "

he did seem like the only one in the cast putting in any actual effort.
