haha he should do a vocalization to "ride of the valkyries" like that guy (meco?) who wrote lyrics to the "star wars" theme!

"Fish Heads" by Barnes & Barnes
"Total Eclipse of the Sun" by Klaus Nomi
"Rubber Biscuit"

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:22 (twenty years ago)

and fuck it...why not "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:23 (twenty years ago)

"Mack the Knife"

This thread deserves a long life.

marlon brando DOES sing in "the fugutive kind"

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:30 (twenty years ago)

( a really nice-looking film that goes nowhere, but people scream a lot )

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:30 (twenty years ago)

He also sings "Luck Be A Lady" in "Guys & Dolls", no?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:31 (twenty years ago)

Leader Of The Pack - Shangri-las. There's screaming here, too, sorta.

― jim wentworth (wench), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:32 (twenty years ago)

"Negative Creep" - Nirvana

― Evanston Wade (EWW), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:32 (twenty years ago)

"Triumph of Death" by Hellhammer

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:36 (twenty years ago)

"Send in the Clowns" - Judy Collins

(in clown makeup, preferably)

― Evanston Wade (EWW), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:40 (twenty years ago)

"Calling Dr.Love" by Kiss

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:42 (twenty years ago)

Hee.

― Evanston Wade (EWW), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:44 (twenty years ago)

p.s. if anyone asks you where "blanket roll blues" off of scott walker's climate of hunter comes from, you can tell 'em it's from the fugitive kind. adapted from tennessee williams's orpheus descending. hence the TW lyrics. scott was really shaped by his filmgoing of a certain period wasn't he?

i don't understand the gist of this thread. do we have some urge to see mr. brando humiliated? isn't it kind of irrelevant now?

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:45 (twenty years ago)

Personally, I think Brando has begun to embrace his 'faded-legend' status in a way that's almost cheeky.

― Evanston Wade (EWW), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:46 (twenty years ago)

"The End" as sung by Col. Kurtz would not be humiliating, it would be awesome.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:50 (twenty years ago)

"Mack the Knife" sung by Godfather Brando would probably scare the hell out of me...unless he sung it with that orange peel in his teeth, in which case I don't have any idea what I would do.

― Evanston Wade (EWW), Friday, 2 July 2004 04:52 (twenty years ago)

Dizzy Rascal's "Fix Up Look Sharp"

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Friday, 2 July 2004 05:31 (twenty years ago)

Many of the songs on this thread should work.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 2 July 2004 05:58 (twenty years ago)

What about a re-recording of "Thriller" with Brando doing the Vincent Price monologue?

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 2 July 2004 06:02 (twenty years ago)

If it's fat Brando, I wanna hear that Wylie Cat (or whatever the fuck he's called) song about eating pies.

― Sasha (sgh), Friday, 2 July 2004 06:39 (twenty years ago)

"House of Jealous Lovers". Is there anyone who couldn't do it justice?

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 2 July 2004 07:44 (twenty years ago)

"I Believe In Bugs" by Ivor Cutler

― woly boly (woly boly), Friday, 2 July 2004 09:22 (twenty years ago)

two weeks pass...

Was this thread spookily timed or what?

― M Carty (mj_c), Friday, 16 July 2004 12:43 (twenty years ago)

yeah SRS! all the present-tensed verbs. how young we were.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 16 July 2004 12:46 (twenty years ago)

now that he's gone, we will never be innocent again.*

*i reserve the right to say this after leonard nimoy dies as well

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 16 July 2004 13:53 (twenty years ago)

now he should sing the "ghostbuster's" theme song.

I was just about to post this same message.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 17 July 2004 02:18 (twenty years ago)

How about the Lady in the Radiator song from Eraserhead?

"In heaven, everything is fine..."

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Saturday, 17 July 2004 02:23 (twenty years ago)

yeah, I had a good, though rather sadistic, laugh w/ my friend about how I mentioned that, and the next day he died. Truly a shame. Strangely, my friend had responded to that "Another One Bites the Dust"

― Bryan Moore (Bryan Moore), Sunday, 18 July 2004 04:28 (twenty years ago)

That Wylie Kat song about eating pies.
