Ridiculous music.
I'm making some CDs for my listening amusement in the basement at work. At least one or two have to contain nothing but ridiculousness. Ideas please?
Hot For Teacher will probably make the list.

The last few days, I've been rocking out to Kiss and the Jackson 5.

1. Also trooper.

It doesn't get any more ridiculous than it's association with Canadian politicians.

2. I have an album with 12 different versions of Louie Louie

21. You know how many people did a cover of that song??!!
http://www.amazon.com/Best-Louie-Vol-1/dp/B0000032IJ/ref=pd_bbs_4/104-5053024-9021532?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1181661224&sr=8-4

This is the album, but I have it in vinyl form and btw, I stand corrected - it's 10 versions of Louie Louie

44. I think it's has been done more than 2000 times
check it out -

<http://louielouieweb.tripod.com/lists.htm>

my favorite take on it would have to be "Have Love Will Travel" by the Imperialites
you can hear that at this site -

3. As long as you're listening to KISS....
put "Crazy, Crazy Nights" on a CD.

There is nothing more ridiculous than lyrics like, "If life is a radio, turn it up to ten." :D

I realized that I don't have the energy of the rest of the pit, who seemed to be about 17 or so.

Still a great show. hey, if you like GWAR, check out Captured! By Robots - an amazing act.

8. How ridiculous?
Like, Telly Savalas singing "Rubber Bands and Bits of String" ridiculous, or merely cheese-metal ridiculous, like Angel?

43. I'm glad to hear that
:)

And you could always try Hell Patrol off of Priest's "Painkiller" album. Yeah, they're about my favorite band, but a bunch of their catalog is sublimely ridiculous. In my opinion their saving grace was how they never really tried to pull that off with a straight face though.

For sheer :wtf: -ness (at least lyrically) it can be hard to top Yes. Your's is No Disgrace.

I rest my case.

11. David Byrne has some fun stuff
"Miss America" from the Feelings album is fun and keeps you awake at work. Plus it has one of my favorite lines:

I kissed America,
When she was fleecing me.
And she knows I understand
That she needs to be free.

I miss America,
And sometimes she does too.
And sometimes I think of her
When she is fucking you.


the band Firewater also has some good stuff on "Man on the Burning Tightrope"

Or do you mean completely silly? How about some Zappa or Mojo Nixon or Dead Kennedys? "Plastic Jesus" by Jello Biafra and Mojo Nixon would fit the bill well.

Ya know, that guy that did the Streak
Somewhere at home I have an anthology of Fifties Novelty Rock, things like Rubber Biscuit, Flying Purple People Eater and Beep Beep. I got it from the Public Library. If I were you I'd go there and just browse around.

49. Just how ridiculous are we talking?
I mean, if you want ridiculous, I would suggest Wild Man Larry Fischer. Nothing beats "My Name is Larry."

Here's a trailer for a movie about him.

Wiki-pedia calls him "the missing link between Syd Barrett and Homer Simpson", so the ridiculousness is baked right in!
