Cathy Berberian Sings The Beatles...

Have a listen to this and tell me that classical music and The Beatles don't work wonderfully together when sledge-hammered delicately into one by this vocal wonder, so stylish too...



I may vomit with the excitement of it all!

That's a stinker, pete!

 

[Crackle]

Does she do Shakespeare too?

Does she do Shakespeare too?

Probably, but not in that frock.

 

[Night Train]

[Fnaar]

I actually like the Hayseed Dixie stuff

For wierdness, nothing quite beats Peter Wyngarde's "The Hippy and the Skinhead" though.

[swee'pea99]

It is among the more excruciating things I've witnessed in my life. I think I got about half a verse in before I felt the first mutterings of dry-wretching...

 

[Archie_tect]

Probably one of the better renditions...

I understanding the vomiting bit.
It was egregious.

She murdered it.
Maybe she should change her name to 'Cathy Barbarian'?

The greatest of them all is the wonderful Florence Foster Jenkins.....

Famously quoted as saying..

"People may say I can't sing, but no one can ever say I didn't sing."

I loved that.
Sometimes things are so excruciatingly bad, they achieve a sort of greatness.
