I stand by the fact that I was just born in the wrong era.
It makes me think about things like reincarnation and stuff sometimes, when I think about how drawn I am to the music and the lifestyle of the 40s, 50s, and 60s… I know, it’s weird, but it really makes me wonder.
Here’s […]
Okay, so here’s proof that I’m a weirdo in having been a fan of this stuff since I was a kid. It also goes to show you how music can unite people in the most wonderful of ways. Grab an espresso and relax, this one’s cute.
When I was 15, I was a foreign exchange student […]
A recent post showed Jim Carrey doing his impression of Sammy Davis, Jr. and gave my sort of moderately-offended-for-Sammy review.
Well here I have a video of Sammy doing impressions of his friends. He sings, “One for my Baby (One More for the Road)” while doing impressions of Fred Astaire, Nat ‘King’ Cole, Billy Eckstine, […]
From The Dean Martin Show, Oct. 7, 1965. They sing “I Hate the Beatles” (to the tune of “Pop Goes the Weasel”) and other parodies by Sherman. This is really great, and what I call PURE ENTERTAINMENT. It’s awesome… simply awesome.
“Bella… Bela Lugosi” BWAHAHAHA!!!

I went to Italy for a summer exchange program when I was 16, and one night, […]
I thought I’d put a little collection of Bing Crosby videos from YouTube together here for your viewing pleasure, my dear readers! He was no doubt one heck of an entertainer, and it seems to me that the stars around him just shone brighter because of it, don’t you? Check ‘em out after the jump…

As part of b5media’s music channel list project, our theme this time around is “Top 10 artists/bands to invite to the holiday office party” and of course, I’m going to list crooners! This has to be one of those “alive or dead” things for this category, but here we go:
10. Marilyn Monroe - Yes, she’s […]
Well, I know that this news is dated a year ago - and a couple things here mentioned have already happened (ie. the duet with Martina McBride on “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” and the bit about Robbie Williams) but it’s still pretty neat to read the rest of this…

Actor Joe Mantegna, who played Dean Martin in HBO’s “The Rat Pack” bought the rights to Dean’s biography back in September of 2006, supposedly to make a movie of the famed crooner’s life.
“Mantegna and his producing partner, Danny Ramm, bought the film rights to Memories are Made of This, a biographical memoir written by Martin’s […]
