Space – The Final Front-Bottom
This is a little teaser for tomorrow’s podcast, because the playlist became so long that all sorts of good things ended up being cut from it, including three splendid suggestions by Dylan from Blueback Hotrod.
As most of you probably know already, for some inexplicable reason back at the height of the popularity of the original Star Trek series a couple of the main characters dipped their toes in the muddy shallows of the Celebrity Music Vanity Project. With some bafflingly bizarre results:
Most of you probably know that video already, not that that makes it any less funny. Less well known is that Leonard Nimoy also dabbled in the world of music, and it was no less weird:
This kind of crazy stuff just didn’t seem as incredibly fucking ludicrous back then, or at least so it seems, looking back. Remember when the cast of Star Wars appeared on the Muppet Show? Genius! Can you imagine the beast from Alien doing a song and dance number with a bunch of felt puppets? No, me neither.
Anyway, enough of such visual nonsense. Tomorrow’s podcast is going to be all space related and these rather splendid songs didn’t quite make the cut, so seeing as they are so odd and so brilliant at the same time I thought they had to make an appearance somewhere, and seeing as it’s Friday and the weekend is only hours away, some silliness won’t go amiss.
Leonard Nimoy – Highly Illogical
