Thread drift, but a friend of mine said her 7 year-old daughter was singing Pat Benetar's 'I Love Rock and Roll' the other day and her lyrics were 'I love rock and roll, so put another dime in the juice box baby!'

I will bet most kids these days have no idea what a jukebox is.

Joan Jett and The Blackhearts. Leather, cigarettes, chains, kinda growls when she sings.....
... Pat Benatar is a classically trained mezzo-soprano that sang 80's girl power pop/rock. She left Juilliard for her boyfriend/future husband and when they divorced a few years later, continued to use his name professionally rather than reverting to her maiden name......Andrzejewski.

Sorry, you're right, it was Joan Jett. Joan Jett, Pat Benetar, Blondie, etc. I always got those women mixed up. They all had big hits going at the same time. Probably a hormonal block on the brain; would see thier photos and go stupid.

No longer...

Yes, some opera is dreadful.

So too, is some rock, country, fill in the blank...

Look into opera, surprise yourself, you might find something you like.

No no no, you have it wrong. The good stuff is at The Opry.

Jeez, I didn't catch that. I assumed it was something like a Monty Python overdub. If that's what she's really singing, that is really really funny.

It's a Rainer Hersch concert. Hersch is a British conductor, actor, writer and comedian and is known for his comical take on classical music. He has a bunch of funny stuff in all varieties of music and styles. You can find a bunch of his stuff on YouTube on his fan channel http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVw28wsZzjZkW240cKQ1nUw" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here is an oompa band doing Bohemian Rhapsody
