Thanks to all for suggesting titles for this post.   Check out the comments for some funny ones.   In the end, I went with a take on one of my favorite Aretha Franklin songs.   (Being a Matty myself you know!)   Thanks to Lp cover lover Daniel Andre for sharing this amazing cover.

    As much as Maddy and Henri Genets wanted to give the crowd a good show, they were both pretty bummed about their son’s new wig.

    After only one squeeze, a young Chris Farley realizes that it might not be too late to catch the audition for the improv troupe downtown. A Star is Born.

    The one in the middle is almost a dead ringer for the famous Pedro Mountains Mummy, who disappeared sometime in the 1950s.

    If this is French, there’s proof that not everyone in France is beautiful. If it’s French Canadian, then the dude on the far right is a girl.

    Yep, this is the worst. I love it. This is the worst album cover ever. Period.

    Mille Jackson’s “Back to the Sh•t” is still my fave of tolla bad taste – and mainstream(ish) at that

    Ladies and gentlemen,
    This is an all blind family. That explains the scarry look..

    Yep, they are all blind. It is difficult to find any real music by them, as many people think it funny to combine weird or scary music with the image – but if you can find the real track – it is traditional French accordion music – they play very well and the woman has a lovely voice 😉
