Searching the worst Celebrity turned Singer

BTB · May 06, 2007, 03:29:03 PM

Every once in a while a celebrity tries to sing and mostly the results are lets say interesting.
Some are astonishingly entertaining
as Leonard Nimoy performing the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC73PHdQX04

some rather tragic like Lolo Ferraris Airbag Generation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC0h4qREgyw

and some times it is utter embarassing and I dare you to try to beat this:

The national German Soccer team of 1994 performing with the village People ( we totally lost afterwards in the championships, a just punishment for this):

So has anybody something to add?

One of the worst songs I ever heard was in the 80's. The Chicago Bears recorded a song. I like a lot of 80's music, but yikes!

You'd be referring to the Superbowl Shuffle.

Admit it -- they're so bad that you know they're good,
blowin' your mind like you knew they would!

Oh and I had to edit this post to add JOE PESCI RAPPING

This earns the WTF award for the year

Ugh. In the world of bad stuff, Susan, you have a vicious left hook. I had forgotten that flaming piece of crap Hoff song. Thank You So Much for resurrecting the memory!

And it's so long! It's just going on and on in another window as I type this! You can't stop it!

What have we here... a cover of "Secret Agent Man" done up in faux Bond style?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKuQXGrFSQ0&mode=related&search=

And a cover of "Falling in Love Again" too -- watch out ladies, the Hoff is wearing a greasy white tank top.

[Edit: That Village People song with the German soccer team is, I agree, thoroughly embarrassing. Perhaps it is in some devious way related to the Hoff's success and popularity in Germany?]

Susan · May 06, 2007, 04:05:25 PM

secret agent man..rofl
I have this feeling hasslehoff has a green screen in his house and he just loads up videos and stands in front of it

Check out my edit on my post - i added joe pesci, a MUST SEE

Just for that, here's Chyna (the wrestler) doing her cover of InnaGadaDaVida:

I applaud to Susan and Snivelly for those great contributions, as for the Hoff he was the hero of my childhood, mostly because he was the only american superstar to come to Germany regularly .Otherwise I would have opted for Dwight Schulz, but he only came to Germany once to work in a gruesome sequel of Hart to Hart, which should be regarded kindly as toxic Waste http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0160356/)

That Hoff one is a crack-up. In that he is really cracked up!

I've been listening, on and off, to Fabios work ever since you posted that link ages ago Susan, and it still stays with me. Kind of like a bad smell...

At one stage I had him singing as my ring tone, but since that was about five seconds worth of 'When somebody loves somebody... DESPERATELY" I kind of took it off and replaced it with the Captain Planet theme since it was less [albeit it not by much] embarrasing...

The only thing that would make that footage somewhat bareble, is if Chyna was lip-syncing and her and the two ladies in the background were naked

Zapranoth · May 08, 2007, 03:22:21 AM

That Joe Pesci er... *cough!* *cough!!!* ... . "rapping" .... that was awful.

"It's da b***hes dat'll getcha!"

There's something to hum to myself for the next two days. What made it awful was that I didn't get any clear tongue-in-cheek vibe from it. It felt like they might have been attempting seriousness.

And that Chyna video was just plain tragic.
