Keith Houchen Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I didn’t know of the existence of this and to be quite honest, I’m not sure how to process it. Here he is, having the time of his life while looking like Willem Dafoe cosplaying Spike from Buffy. I thought it was a comedy skit but it isn’t. Is there anything that’s been around for years that you’d not heard of that troubled you to your very core, or are there any nightmares you have that you wish to unleash upon an unsuspecting forum?

wordsfromlee Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Tony Thaxton from Motion City Soundtrack does a great podcast called Bizarre Albums all about these kind of records.They're only short episodes but there's some stuff I never knew was made and makes very interesting listening.

After seeing this I can only assume that it must be the inspiration for Bill Nighy's character in Love Actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted October 18, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) My girlfriend showed me this not long ago. It's one of those charity singles that came out in the wake of Band Aid. It's quite remarkable. It's got a couple of heavy hitters (Bonnie Tyler, Cliff, Holly Johnson, a Bee Gee), some lesser lights (Marillion, Hayley Mills, Lofty from Eastenders) but we failed to name quite a large portion. There's one woman who looks like she's going to chin someone, and a Charles Bronson lookalike: It's an anti-heroin single, and it's some stark lyrics:"You'll be a slave to that white-powered whore 'til the dragon is slayed" It's got about 4000 views on youtube, about 400 of those are me and the missus.

Keith Houchen Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 It reminded me of those Swedish (I think) TV channel launch vids of We Are The World and another one that I can’t remember. The former I think had Paul McKenna miming and it’s ace. One I’m sure I saw once and never again was a football related song that had the likes of Beckham, Figo, Zidane and others of the late 90s early 00s miming some song about global love and unity. I don’t mean to sound all UK Kat Von D but I was in a bad place and did a lot of drugs at the time, so I’ve always wondered if I imagined it.

I do wonder if someone just started that as a joke to see if they could get singers involved for any charity single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Charles Bronson. I didn't clock Genesis P Orridge in the video either, and I'm a bit surprised they'd be involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonya Harding followed by Glenn Close is a hell of a 1-2 punch. Also I thought "fuck me Liam Neeson looks knackered" and it was Robert Englund.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted October 19, 2021 Moderators Share Posted October 19, 2021 That's pretty crazy that that exists. Really bizarre. Don't know what to make of it to be honest. Also, interestingly according to the title captions, Dr Alban's best known hit in his native Sweden was Sing Hallelujah, and not It's My Life.
