"Go ahead Homer. Laugh at me."
"I already did."
When The Thing That Walks Like a Man sent me this link, which details the worst album covers of all time, I assumed the usual suspects would be on display (Mike Crain the "Karatist" Preacher is a personal favorite). Little did I know how it would ignite a soon-to-be firestorm of controversy over Kirk Van Houten's plagiarism:
For shame, Kirk. As if the bastard child of the union between Willie Aames and the lead singer for Saga doesn't have enough problems.
As entertaining as those covers are, they mostly fall into the "home recordings of 1978" category. Wouldn't a broader spectrum of entries be needed to claim the "worst of all time" glory?
Hey! He should be thankful. That is the most air time his work has gotten, ever! My favorite in that episode was Twyla. Now there was a woman with a future, in prison.
Hey, I like the B-side from that disc: "My Eye Will Always Wander Your Way."
My favorite in that episode was Twyla.
Did you mean "Starla?"
"Can I borrow the keys to the car, lover? I feel like changing wigs."
Thanks a lot. How am I going to eat my lunch now? And to think I was going to give popular music a chance. No way now, buddy. Back to Beethoven and that faggot Schubert.
