Blast from the past to sing at Trump's thingee

[packman]

"a source close to the “(You’re) Having My Baby” crooner,PAUL ANKA, 75, (said) that he will buck the trend of most singers and perform his song “My Way” at the Inauguration January 20. . .with lyrics re-written for the incoming Commander-In-Chief!

“Paul was asked by the members of the Trump inauguration committee and he was only too happy to do it for his longtime friend,” said an Anka insider.

I guess Fabian wasn't available -

1. Maybe Fabio can sing a duet

2. I have no idea who that is.

Edit: I looked him up and it says he was popular in the 50's/60's, which predates my birth. No wonder I didn't know who he was. He was far enough before my time that even any carryover fame had evaporated by the time I was of age.

11. I was around during the height of his popularity. He was a lame mainstream teddy-bear pop "idol."

His smooth, polished treacle music was just too cloying and annoying for me. There are a couple of Paul Anka songs I'll grudgingly admit to liking, but for the most part he's *sticks finger down throat and makes hacking noise*

3. I unfortunately remember that creepy having MY baby song Yuck but I mean perfect fit and age

[Charles Bukowski]

4. Paul Anka, Lee Greenwood, a Rockette

Shitbag's inauguration will be a veritable " Who's That?" of popular entertainment.

5. I think the more appropriate artist

would be Barry McGuire singing the 1965 hit "Eve of Destruction". The song just proves nothing has changed in 50 + years.

7. This n/t

8. I actually posted an OP on this in GD. n/t

6. I wonder if he can sing in Russian ?

[KamaAina]

10. French, maybe. He's Canadian.

So much for making 'Murka great again.

9. At least Paul Anka doesn't have to worry about this destroying his career

since his career peaked about a half century ago.

12. I gave him hell on FB.
