  • ZiggyILM, on 05/09/2008, -0/+15#10, Merril Womach... a terribly burned version of Jon Voight
  • AlwaysAwake, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5Great fun. Sort of like ET. Has a Sophie Tucker look, for those old enough to remember her. A touch of Liberace too, except for the sun glasses.
    • SuperWinner, on 05/09/2008, -1/+4Hi we're The Braillettes, capitalizing on our own wretched disfigurement.
  • ColonelTribune, on 05/09/2008, -1/+4What, no Gino Vannelli? http://www.ginov.com/discography.shtml
  • yellowcakewalk, on 05/09/2008, -1/+6Mother of mercy.
  • BRapscallion, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5We've come a long way! Now, those type of acts are simply run through the streamlined audition round on American Idol. "Expose Yourself To Cajun Music and Johnny Janot" is one for the collection! Hopefully, he doesn't play the accordion.
    • ColonelTribune, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2That would be a site to behold!
  • SuperWinner, on 05/09/2008, -0/+14Manfred has a new accent? ***** I can't get my money out fast enough!!
  • Surferess, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3I got shouts from 5 different people on this article and I resisted reading it because it sounded dumb. Boy am I glad I finally gave in and clicked it. I have truly had my big laugh for the day!
  • unicronband, on 05/09/2008, -0/+27How nice of them to make this fifty ***** pages long.
  • theberlindoctor, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Merrill Womach's myspace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=us ...
    • ulmedas, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6Who I'd like to meet:
      The Lord
      Sounds like a death wish to me.
    • zephc, on 05/09/2008, -1/+1"Heroes: Jesus H. Christ"

      Does he realize that the 'H' bit is a joke?
    • imquaid, on 05/09/2008, -0/+0lol he has 10 friends
  • suzywang3000, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5the olden days were so awesome...
  • crashbang, on 05/09/2008, -0/+12sour cream and other delights.....***SHUDDER***
    • EpicSelekta, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1That picture ruined Herb Alpert for me forever. FOREVER.
      • Slade605, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1That picture ruined my childhood.. FOREVER
  • macweirdo42, on 05/09/2008, -0/+21I can't seem to be able to move past the first image. Is this some new Firefox feature designed to save me from the horrors of bad album covers, because if it is, based on the first cover, I think I can live with it.
  • bossm4n, on 05/09/2008, -0/+9Adblock kills their site navigation. You can always count on the Brailettes making the list.
  • darkchild82, on 05/09/2008, -0/+8#1 Cody Matheson "Can I Borrow a Feelin' ?"
    What kinda line is that?!
    • unicronband, on 05/09/2008, -0/+12I think it was referenced in the Simpsons episode where Milhouse's parents get divorced. It was the song his dad sings to win back his mom (and fails).
      • TexasJeff, on 05/09/2008, -1/+4I made the same connection, but then had a chicken/egg moment. After a bit of Googling I came up with a comment on wiki that states:

        On the commentary for the eighth season of the Simpsons, in the episode A Milhouse Divided, it is mentioned that the idea for Kirk van Houten's song/album "Can I Borrow a Feeling?" was based on a compilation of "worst album covers" featuring the album "Can I Borrow a Feelin'?" by Cody Matherson [1]

        Take it for what you will, I personally don't have the DVD's to go check.
    • Armagetto, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2The Cody Masterson album has shown up on a few of these lists and is thought to be bogus. Many have noted that it looks chopped and I would have to agree.
  • BFNews, on 05/09/2008, -1/+3These are brilliant.
  • built2spill, on 05/09/2008, -2/+3Too many pages and it doesn't work (for me) in Firefox. (But I was curious enough to see it all that I launched IE...)
    • sexybobo, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Turn off adblock+ and it will work.
  • jp12380, on 05/09/2008, -0/+8No, get your own feelin!
  • DiscoLando, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2Wow, now I really want to hear the handless organist.
  • jesuswuzanalien, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3lol @ the html tags in the title
  • jscnet, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2i feel like i need a shower now.
  • semeticstallion, on 05/09/2008, -1/+3Did #37 slightly remind anybody of "Motherboy" from Arrested Development?
  • DiscoLando, on 05/09/2008, -1/+3Oh, and dugg for Tommy Seebach! Long live Apache!
  • Haon, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4They forgot a few, namely this one: http://www.franktastic.chickenshack.co.uk/images/d ...
  • xero69, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2So who does the handless organist get to wipe her arse after she's done using the bathroom? God?
    • jsauter, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2It miraculously becomes clean. Or at least that is what everyone is telling her.
    • AkiraXXX, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Don't you know anything, dude? She puts her hook back on for that.
  • diggonit, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Great, now old viral emails are being converted to newspaper articles with 17 page views required to complete.
  • lunachique, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3Here are some hilarious promo shots of 70's Swedish singing groups.
    http://www.omodern.com/kult/index.html
  • evilelf2407, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2lol http://borrowafeelingthesimpsons.ytmnd.com/ i knew i recognized the first one from somewhere.
  • cdubd, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2I love the guy in the mask....haha.
  • blakeage, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Did I see Mr. Pregnant in there??
  • PhattyPhattMatt, on 05/09/2008, -1/+3Does any one know if the Braillettes are still together? I want them to sing at my birthday party.
  • HumanRecall, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Number 2- Roger Troutman and Zapp Computer Love- redone for Menace to Society Soundtrack back in the early 90's was the wickedest ***** going
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBeUo9ahnfQ
  • majordanger, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2#21 featuring the smash hit " I seen her first"
  • hode, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Where's Devastatin' Dave?
  • technonoob, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3#45 All my friends are dead
    what kind of songs would those be...bet they are not uplifting and inspirational
  • jokeoftheday, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3MULLLETTTT - if you read this, I just spanked the back of your head, no spank backs...
  • epborden, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2merrill womach: probably the ugliest person I have ever seen in my life
  • tarrmachine, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Joyce happens to be my mother.
  • footfwd, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Can we get some sound clips!!!
  • bigstinky, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4What the heck is up with Gary Dee Bradford?

    "Because he lives," "Let me in there," ""It keeps gettin' better," "He touched me...(?), "Get all excited."

    Something fishy 'bout Gary.

    Seriously, this record is the scariest of all.
  • turtled28, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1#34 reminds me of Weird Al...
  • Terasiel, on 05/09/2008, -0/+2Am I the only one that noticed that he doesn't have a mullet?
  • SAKevin, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2Who else is wondering where they can buy an internal organ body stocking?
  • lizlemoncello, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2I really want to hang Space Escapade (pg. 8) in my living room. It's pretty far out.
  • devinm, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1Number 25 is like old school amy winehouse.
  • drinktherhine, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2who else would definitely buy a poster of The many facets of Roger?
    i guess lots of these would make for some rockin' posters, but especially Roger!
  • PUNJABISINGH, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2totally get all of them
  • FischerDK, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1The sad/scary thing is I remember Slim Goodbody - PBS show around the late 70s, early 80s promoting health and nutrition. Now I'm going to end up having the show's theme song stuck in my head. Gee, thanks.....
  • AmandaQ, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1SLIM GOODBODY! What a blast from the past!
