Yes, I agree: this thread should have a stake driven through it!
The above-linked video is incredible. She sounds as though she's taken some serious 'Ludes. Hard to believe it's the same woman who did this:
The Sixties were, towards the end, a terrible decade, if their effect was to make this blue-eyed queen of soft jazz do something as execrable as "Yummy Yummy Yummy..." In her day, Julie London was
great.
Groups like the Kinks, the Strawberry Alarm Clock, "Sir" Elton John (what a joke), the Byrds and all other granny-glasses and striped-pants-wearing oafs ruined the decade.
Here's a "two-fer:"
"MacArthur Park" by Wayne Newton... One of my nominees for "all-time skunk of a song" (next to "A Horse With No Name," of course

), murdered the way it was written to be murdered. Watch it, though, if you're so inclined:
it's so bad, it's good!
