Because this will be a hilarious thread.

It's not my first choice when it comes to this kind of music, but I certainly need to nominate Xaveria Hollander's version of The Beatles' "Michelle".

No, my first choice will forever be Black Out Band's "Video Games". Can't get enough of this nasally kid's singing.

“There’s No Business Like Show Business” from The Ethel Merman Disco Album also comes to mind.

Oh, it exists. Read what The Other Wiki has to say. And yes, it’s actually entitled The Ethel Merman Disco Album.

Disco actually pretty much jumped the shark long before that, when stuff like the aforementioned “Disco Lucy” and, well...this started cropping up. The genre was on life support when Saturday Night Fever came along and extended its lifespan by a few years.

Oh, and also (nothing to do with disco):

"What's Up?" by 4 Non Blonde. Can't be bothered to find a video of it, but the chick sounds like a bad Alanis Morissette impersonator. I thought it was an Alanis song until I read a Cracked article that mentioned it.

[up] Although that song actually came out when Alanis Morissette was pretty much unknown outside of Canada and only had a pair of now-Old Shame pop albums out. But yeah, the vocal affectations in that song are pretty ridiculous.

[up][up]I always liked the remix of that song—I'd never actually heard the original until a year or two ago, so I'd never actually paid attention to the vocals too much. I always thought it was sung by a black man rather than an angry woman, though, I dunno why.

Behold... The Arctopus are pretty failtacular but amusing if you can stand all the unnecessary instrumental fellation.

Graal is the problem with most "experimental" or "avant-garde" music personified - everything smushed together for the sake of merely sounding "lolrandum" and creating little more than a merry-go-round of assembled disorganized influences - showboating of personal tastes at its worst. Still, it is amusing in a sort of amateur-ish way.

@That Graal track: Wow, it's like the best parts of "Tomorrow Never Knows" ruined by a severe misunderstanding of "Revolution 9" with a dash of Nickelback on top of it.

This is utter genius, this needs more views and comments!!!

That Graal song sounds like Ved Buens Ende fell down a flight of stairs and suffered severe brain damage.

And as for the Arctopus...they need to listen to Watchtower. They need to listen to Watchtower many times. They need to take notice of how Watchtower do all those cool time signatures and changeups without losing the momentum or energy of the song.

I like Behold The Arctopus. But then again, I also like Brain Drill, so I think my tolerance for wankery has gotten a little too high.

On the other hand, yeah, that Graal song. The amusingly nonchalant vocals are one of my favourite parts.

Because I choose to.
