AlbumTalk

As if your toddler wasn’t having nightmares BEFORE.

Now you can play Little possessed Marcy before bedtime to really push the kid over the edge.

This is not the first Little Marcy album I have featured.

Check this out. (it includes a sample of the album too!)

Turns out ‘Little Marcy’ is the creation of Marcy Tigner a trombone player turned ventriloquist. And the little bride-of-chuckie doll is hence called ‘little’ Marcy.

Apparently she was considered ‘very good’ at her ventriloquist stuff.

Of course who the hell ISN’T good at doing ventriloquist stuff on a RECORD?

Am I right?

What the heck was going on in the 60s?

Were people making their own albums in their basements or something?

I just can’t imagine PLNR Records saw this photo, complete with the window air conditioner cord and the Jim Beam bottle, and thought

‘Yes! This is a perfect ALBUM COVER’.

And what is up with making Santa a perv?

Thanks a lot. That just messed up every single childhood Santa memory.

So PLNR Records?

I hope you get nuthin but fruitcake this year.

Let’s take a break from this holiday season to ask the question that begs to be asked…

Which one do YOU think is the one with confidence?

Sometimes I would PAY MONEY to be able to hear these bad albums be played.

I suspect there was more than one song on this album about being an under appreciated secretary in a man’s world.

And possibly one about cross dressing.

Apparently times aren’t that hard…he IS sportin a killer fro plus he is still drinkin from a glass.

And somebody owns an iron (check the nice crease on the sleeve) if not a razor…

Don’t feel too sorry for him, turns out his son is doing good enough for the both of them…

Can you guess who this guy’s kid is? As if the glorious fro didn’t give it away already…

Yup.

None other than OC’s Will Ferrell.

Will’s dad was a musician in OC, and played with The Righteous Brothers and Dick Dale And His Del-Tones for many years…

and apparently, by the looks of this album tried to have a solo career as well.

I am not gonna lie, there was a point in my life when I had a pair of white lace up, heeled granny boots like these. And I may have had the brunetter version of this girls hair too. AND I may have even worn them with a pink outfit really really similar to this. But I never walked around in Tron land with two curly-mullet-sportin guys who decided to forgo their shirts and just wear the jackets commando. Look closely- that is a gold chain on the blue guy, and yes those are blue Reeboks. Clearly Mr. Squishy boots  is the fashion forward guy in the group. After all- he is in the middle.

Update: I like to Google AFTER I write the post- cuz I am lazy just to mix it up. And it turns out  The Archers were a very successful Jesus group of 2 brothers and 1 sisters (guess which is which).

And guess what? They just re-released one of their earlier albums. And you can listen to them here. 

Is it sad to say it totally brought me back to the early 80’s Christian rock I thought WAS SO COOL while hangin out in my youth group as a pre-teen?

Of course it was the same music I thought was SO LAME as soon as I left youth group too.

But I would’ve started praying to Buddah just to have Ms. Archer’s killer hair styles through the years….

….can you smell the Aqua Net?

This album bring up an interesting question; why on earth were all the eyeglasses of the early 80’s so BIG?

I mean how on earth did having your prescription down over your cheeks help you see better?

It sure didn’t help these poor ladies when they were picking out the bands outfits…or their band mates husbands.

Apparently there is so little time, that Paul had to ask Mother and Aunt Clare to play in his band with him, when the fellas from school said no.

And there is so little time that Aunt Clare had to play the dual neck electric guitar to beef up the sound off their trio.

The band never really took off, and Paul returned to pursuing his real passion- owning his own Olan Mills franchise.

And Mother and Aunt Clare put those gold suits to good use with successful careers working for Century 21 real estate.

So little time, so much comedy.

“The earlier version with boys and the later version with men pretending to be girls.”

I worked a lot this weekend on adding some new AlbumTalk posts to the series- so every day this week a new one will be posted!

And it is often pointed out to me, that I don’t ‘make fun’ of albums from more current times; usually I comment on ones from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s…so I went looking for something familiar and came up with these. This might be a good time to add the ultimate irony;I actually never owned an album. My parents had albums and I had a radio with a tape deck. The first tape I owned? Shawn Cassidy. And I can STILL SEE the case on it. I stared into it while listening to every song.(He was singing to just me you know) So even albums that SHOULD be familiar to ‘someone of my age’, just aren’t.

Which is a fortunate thing…because I can see the comedy in them much easier that way.

Is anyone surprised at the amateur snapshot look of the Bay City Rollers Greatest Hits cover? I mean this wasn’t their first self produced cover…this was their GREATEST HITS…it looks like the poor guy on the left bottom just gave them his drivers license picture to use. And Poison? Could you be ANY GAYER? I am still stunned girls ever thought this look was hot.

So come back every day this week to see some pretty funny AlbumTalks for your personal Hi-Fi enjoyment! (along with all the other silliness found here at The Association daily)
