Read for a good laugh

[jat112786]

a friend of mine from work was telling a me something that made my day
he had a friend that told him this. the dead kennedys haven't had a good singer, at least in his opinion, in years. so he thought to himself what if Fred Schneider would sing for them. for those that don't know who Fred Schneider, he is the lead singer of the B 52s. to him his singing voice is close to the original singers voice. i cant remember his name at the moment. they could be called the fred kennedys. and do like punk rock versions of b 52 songs like rock lobster. and still do DK songs as well.
i thought this was funny. who else thinks this would be good and funny if it was to happen...

 

[One last embrace]

I don't know, I love the B52's as they are, I couldn't imagine "52 girls" being interpreted by anyone else

 

[ExplosionProofTaco]

About as funny as a car crash.

 

[Mr. Squirrel]

Damn, I was hoping for something funny, but I don't even know who they are.

The only bit that made me laugh even a tiny bit was "The Fred Kennedys".

 

[Undeadpope]

I was hoping you were asking for a a funny read.
Because of this I quickly click and expected to write about just how funny the hitchhiker guide to the galaxy books are.

read them anyway.

Meh, probably just me. I don't listen to Rock-ish things often.

 

[Gerazzi]

I know the references, but did not make me laugh.
I call shenanigans!
Shenanigans, use Hyper Beam!

Well, considering the Dead Kennedys disbanded in 1986 and they were reunited without their lead singer in 2001, it's not surprising that they haven't had a good lead singer in years. The lawsuit stemmed from the fact that the original singer Jello Biafra wrote the lyrics and music to virtually all of their songs, with the only exception I can think of being "At My Job" written by East Bay Ray, which is probably their least creative song, and the rest of the band trying to capitalize on it. They've hired on two different singers who attempt to impersonate Biafra's singing style and went on tour using songs they didn't make. Also considering the issue where the band was in support of letting Levi's use the song "Holiday in Cambodia" for a Levi's jeans commercial, which Biafra opposed. I still can't see how the lyrics "Well you'll work harder with a gun in your back, for a bowl of rice a day. Slave for soldiers 'til you starve, and your head is skewered on a stake." would inspire people to buy pants.

But I would agree, I've always thought Biafra and Schneider were twins separated at birth. They have virtually the same halted, vibrato filled singing style, and I'd love to see them cover each others songs. Biafra singing Love Shack, Schneider singing California Über Alles.
