The *WORST* thing ever...the Puppini Sisters

The only way their hackneyed regressive ballless soulless 1940s shit would be anything less than the worst thing since AIDS is if they employed a "No blacks no dogs no Irish" policy at their gigs.

-Huh?

* Simple Minds - Silver Box (5CD Long Box)
* Pink Martini - Hang On Little Tomato
* Danny Kaye - Sings Hans Christian Anderson & Other Favourites
* Keisha White - Out Of My Hands
* The Pipettes - We Are The Pipettes

Look, listen to this:

This is the German novelty country band The Boss Hoss doing "Hey Ya". First time it's funny, second time you go "Wow, that's quite clever what they've done there", third time you go "Yeah, that's enough of that". It's what makes novelty covers such joy to the mind: it's uber bubblegum, chew until the flavour quickly vanishes then destroy. It's why the Puppinis are just the drecks.

I mean, The Pipettes are like indie rock sex dolls. The Pipettes are meant to be... indie rock sex dolls for my grandad? Joy - where is it?

No. I'm just responding to "hackneyed regressive ... 1940s shit." I've never heard these Puppinis.

Also, that tracklisting seems to indicate that at least half their songs are actual pre-rock songs ("Sisters," "Mr. Sandman," "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen," "Jeepers Creepers," "In the Mood") -- which are covers, yes, but then so is Ditty Bops' version of "Shimmy Like My Sister Kate."

Passantino with the grating rockist smackdown. They are excellent.

The middle one was on the "lesbian pole dancer circuit"

"Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen", "Jeepers Creepers"

I mean, these are great tunes, but I only think that because I've got Leroy Jones (best trumpet player in the world who no one acknowledges) doing un-corny versions of both.

You saw the advert too?

That's what i want to know.

QFT

I have no problem at all with the existence of the Puppini Sisters. I'm just not sure who they are being marketed at. I think my dad would like them, and I'm pretty sure he would like their version of Wuthering Heights just fine for what it is (three lassies singing a song) without having any prior knowledge of Kate Bush. They are no better or worse than the likes of Il Divo, G4, whatever - repackaging songs in a different manner.

I'm not saying I like any of the above acts, btw. But, as Pash said, there's nothing really there to dislike, so much.

(also I've never heard them on Clyde 2 which I listen to at work, and which plays some excellent music from time to time, but I'm not derailing this thread into a discussion of a provincial commercial station that no-one apart for me and Kerr's parents appear to listen to)

NME cover stars too in the era when punk was breaking iirc

because they have extreme opinions innit. very defined criteria for liking things, tendency for over emphasis, good barometer for knowing what is hip with kids on buses etc

Just doing my job, m'am.

"I bet he listens to rap"

NOW you're talking. this small fry has VICIOUS FINGERNAILS!

ya burnt!

they will hunt you down and flay you

priceless! and kudos for whoever decided Dom should write that review.

this is surely grounds for notability on wikipedia.

Reviewers often are mistaken and simply give their personal dislikes an airing, I read a review of Betcha Bottom Dollar which was ok but the reviewer said betcha bottom dollar there wont be a second album I am going to send her a copy of the new album and remind her of her words because like most reviewers she was wrong

Ding ding! Round 2...

Man, I ain't gonna be getting any faux-vintage dressed tail for a long, long time now.

I did look him up and his influences include backstreet boys, half man half biscuit and will young!!! not that I am slating these artists but if you wrote an article about this mans taste on the back of a stamp there would be still be some room left.

So not only is he ill-informed and incorrect, but he also has poor grammar and atrocious spelling.

Troglodite is the perfect word! Must remember to use it more often.....

A+

^^^ winner

Everyone posting there seems really young, which I find odd

lol

they even know what you look like.

did you get hatemail on myspace?

Under-13s are banned from Myspace so no.

So are you going to register at the sisters' forum and respond to your haters, Dom? Maybe you already have, I dunno, I couldn't be arsed to read more than one page.

This band would be loads better if they based their schtick on this 1943 musical clip:

(watch it all the way through, it's holy fuck awesome near the end.)

The poor man was probably once really hurt by a close harmony singer

owned.

funny cos it's true

I dont mean to sound harsh but looking at his picture he should be the last person to dog some one about their looks.

Well done on the not-sounding-harsh thing. (best thing about that quote Onimo posted is that it appears to actually come from a Puppini Sister)

I can bring all sorts of nasty chemicals to BURN HIM with - my chemistry teacher is very good about letting us have chemicals to take home............... hehe

Intro:
So if anyting it dead, or don't...BLAZE!!!
Burn dem out! (True) burn dem out!!! (True)

Chorus:
What they do, is not what they say
And now I never stray, I burn dem everyday, yeah!
What they do, is not what they say
And now I have to pray, I burn dem everyday, yay!

Verse 1:
Well dem could a neva break mi heart dem could a neva train mi thought
Dem couldn't stop di fire weh mi burn from start
Could a neva break mi heart dem could a neva train mi thought

Yo! Brainwash education wid dem mental shocks
Intellects from society and non diplomats
Well all dem promote is just coke and crack
Pon a innocent life di whole a dem a try stop
Wid yuh nurses and yuh docs, yuh soldiers and yuh cops
Yuh churches and yuh synagogues di whole a dem a go flop
Dem a wait pon di body dem fi put inna di box
A wait pon di body deh fi put inna di vault
But a Emperor Selassie seh di alms house fi sotp
Well life mi promote soget it straight to di top

Chorus:

Bridge:
Burn dem out!!! (True) burn dem out!!! (True)
Burn dem ouuttt!!! (True)
Mi burn dem out, mi burn dem out

Verse 2:
Well what kind a orda dem a walk weh inna yuh chest

Do yuh ever feel di pain, do yuh ever feel di stress
Do yuh ever wonda if dem get a good night bless
Do yuh ever wonda if dem grow wid a little etiquette

Chorus:

Burn dem out!!! (True) burn dem out!!! (True)
Burn dem ouuttt!!! (True)
Mi burn dem out, mi burn dem out
Burn dem out!!! (True!) burn dem out!!! (True!)
Burn dem ouuttt!!! (True)
Mi burn dem out, mi burn dem out
Burn dem out!!! burn dem out!!!
Burn dem ouuttt!!!
Mi burn dem out, mi burn dem out..

They should cover that.

The info I found out about him was that he is widely despised

Puppini Sisters fans = Clarkson fans = Boris Johnson fans

Did they make a new album then?

Yeah, thankfully it bombed.

God, looking that up reminded me that they'd covered/butchered "Tu Vuoi Fare L'Americano". Ick ick ick.

We should just be thankful then that they never got on parky. Did they get on the Paul O'Grady Show?

Nah, Pink Martini did though.

Top 3 wrongness on this thread:

2. Ellison, generally.
1. Jagger saying that "Babycakes" was a bad song

the worst thing ever is the gis results for

this is mean! i hope this guy doesn't post here anymore! http://i.imgur.com/zi7hd.gif

heyoooooooooo. I was expecting something to do with puppies when I opened this thread.

this is mean! i hope this guy doesn't post here anymore!

i can totally see this not getting old in any way

the worst thing ever is the gis results for

krokodil drug

die die die die die

without, you know, actually dying or anything

this is mean! i hope this guy doesn't post here anymore!

you think that's mean just wait another 48 hours or so

prosper.strummer.

I found and proved it.

The worst song ever made.

1987.

The Utensils.

"The Beastie Boy Wrap"

A 12" released on Erika Records, based in Lakewood, California.

An anti-Beastie Boys song that was a parody rap song about how little talent you need to be the Beastie Boys or be a music star.

The music was the most banal midi beatbox creation ever made. The jokes were even worse.

And there were no less than SIX REMIXES on the single.

I wasted my measly dollar on this 12" single (and CARRIED IT back home no less!) so people who claim that Powersource's "Dear Mr. Jesus" and Lee Greenwood's "God Bless The USA" are the worst songs ever would be running to cower underneath these songs for their relative warmth and brilliance, much less the genius of anything mentioned in this thread so far.
