You probably remember that kid, Greyson Chance, from when he became viral with his rendition of Paparazzi. Since he sort of looked like the main
character (even had the same last name!) but a few years younger, the makers of Raising Hope put him as younger Jimmy in one episode.

^You know, somehow that song sounded familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. Now I've looked it up and found it's by Otis Redding though...
God I love Otis.

And then you look at what the kid is doing today and you find it's one of those songs that was taunting me at the book fair... so much talent,
wasted...

Ha , the original is so obvious to me, but, as I said, i'm glad yong people like this kind of music and make it last. Who cares if he's wasting his
talent, the song will continue to exist.

Talent of his kind is scarce. He's a self-taught singer and the vid of him aged 5 already showed a serious good ear, good sense of timing and good
voice control.

TheGuardian had a fun article on bands with impronounceable names. Like:

One day I was walking home from college - a 45 minute walk from the station. Luckily I had my portable radio.
I'd almost reached home when I stumbled upon a highly unusual song - wall of sound with a large instrumental centre with classical inspirations. Tune
for me!
I tried to catch as many lyrics as I could get, knowing it may be ages until I heard it again. Good thing then that somebody else had become so
enchanted by the tune that he rang up the radio station, and so I caught the name of the performer and song. Mark & Clark Band, with Worn Down
Piano.
Tracking them down was hard. My father once got a CD-R from a colleague with all sorts of dance tunes, WDP was on it. No way to find any of their
albums.
Two years later I practiced my favourite hobby at a flea market: when you hit a box of LPs, blindly put your finger on one of the album and check out
what it is. This time two sweaty looking guys. Closer inspection of the record: I found them!
Here's the Mark & Clark Band with Worn Down Piano:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AifVakgjxI
And here's the story behind the song, and how record companies treat their talent:

Edit:
Different version:

so bad they settled with this cheesy studio thing. "But hurray for gin!"

Been having tremendous fun exploring these guys: the Postmodern Jukebox - covers in older music styles of all sorts of songs!
https://www.youtube.com/c/postmodernjukebox/videos
It all started when somebody put a gorgeous and hilarious club jazz version of Pinky and the Brain theme - also starring Rob Paulsen (Pinky) and Maurice LaMarche (Brain)!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9jGGiqjwf4 1940s Andrews Sisters style cover of Wannabe - Spice Girls
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xywNeumntoE Cover of Happy - Pharrell Williams - with the virtuoso Gunhild Carling; she also does a fantastic
performance on:

I've not heard of these guys before, they're not bad. Too much of a good thing after a while, but entertaining in small doses. And two bass
players??!! Very interesting idea.
