Actually Cord no, “Jane Birkin’s work with her notorious French lover Serge Gainsbourg, particularly “Je T’aime… Moi Non Plus.” Everyone does not know that but thanks for the info!

Best actor-singer is clearly Heartbeat by Don Johnson. Gainsbourg, you are so, um, how do you say, Gawker.

NY Magazine and Cord are both wrong. Apparently they’ve missed the work of one Mr. William Shatner. His rendition of Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds still wakes me from sleep in a cold sweat.

Juju, I lost my virginity to William Shatner’s version of “Rocketman.”

Okay, no I didn’t. But I should have, it’s that good.

I know. It makes me want to run out and punch everyone I see. If you have not listened to it then you do not deserve to live. May Jesus show up in your shower and condemn you.

Has everyone forgotten the musical magic of Lindsay Lohan??? Sheesh! “Rumors” belongs in the Hall of Fame…

Bruce Willis, the Return of Bruno.

I rest my case.

Cause I’m a Rocketman.
Rock. It. Man.
Burning out his fuse. Up here!! Alone!!

In the same vein, I think Leonard Nimoy had a relatively awesome CD out a while ago.

You need to reopen that case and look for another gem called, Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy. Did you bastards forget about, Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins?

PS, my mother was a bit Trekkie which is how I know about these two fine albums.

WTF, is Janis crawling around in my brain today or is that the crack talking?

Leonard Nimoy – Ballad of Bilbo Baggins?

I’m your crack talking actually. Your actual crack. Talking to you. Sssssssizzzle, Leonard Nimoy, sizzzzzzle.

Oh, sweet mother mary on toast, I heard this could happen.

And try not to forget Joey Laurence and BAG (Brian Austin Green) had at least a single out. Not sure if they could make a whole album.

Just smoke through it. It’ll pass. Ssssssizzle.

Does the Fresh Prince count? I’m pretty sure the song Willenium changed my life.

Man, Kitch, I almost said that. But I forgot about The Shatner. Uh-mazin.

Scarlett needs to tone up those thighs. Stop singing and hit the stairmaster.

Juje: BAG did have an entire album. Back in like ‘95 I got to meet him while he was doing some promotional work for it. I think it was titled ‘Carnival.’ I remember it being not bad, but I am not known for good taste in music. BAG was very nice. And cute. He may have even had another album a few years later.

SnackySmores: Does it make you sad to be such a cliche? I just knew some dipshit would comment on that. She’s fucking hot. Quit being jealous.

This isn’t a full list by any means but here are a few actor albums I didn’t know existed but feel like I would be ok without this knowledge.

Shiny, Kari Wuhrer (Mtv model, remote control, anyone?)
Sentimental, Kathi Lee Gifford (just puked my lunch)
Ol Yellow Eyes Is Back, Brent Spiner? (he’s got jaundice or something)
Healing Angel, Roma Downey (barfed again, like an angel)
Soulmates, Joey Lawrenece (whoa)
Look In My Heart, Alyssa Milano (totally random)
Talk Memphis To Me, Cybil Shepard
5 Albums from Bruce Willis
House I live in, Tony Danza (why do they insist on making me barf)
Stephen Collins, Phil Collins Joking, Stephen Collins.
And, wait for it……….
Child Actor, Corey Feldman

Robert Mitchum has and album. Calypso Is So. What is it so, Richard. That’s weird and Jeff Bridges. Which Bridge is that, the hot one?

A. patrick swayze. She’s like the Wind.
B. The Mitchum album is truly the best.

cdd:: Let me make one thing very clear, I’m not jealous of Scarlett Johanson. I’m also an overly pale white girl who can barely sing. I’m just stating that if I was going to go out in an over sized t-shirt, I would try to make sure my thighs didn’t look like that. That’s just my opinion.

Also, I’m jealous of Natalie Portman, that girl is hot, and I would kill for her skin tone.

Apparently Tatyana Ali (Ashley from Fresh Prince) had an album. A sure classic.

I’ll never forget Gomer Pyle singing opera.

(I think I still might have that album somewhere…)

Has anyone mentioned Will Smith or was that before the Fresh Prince?

Yeah, but he is more a singer turned actor, I think.

QC: you know he opens up the Indiana race for Nascar. “Back home agaiiin, in Indiaaaaaaaanaaaaaaaaaa.”

Ohhhhh, yeah. I vaguely remember her video on VH-1. I don’t know if she made it on the MTV. I totally forgot Gomer Pyle. But please tell me Don Knotts had and album. I’m pretty sure Andy Griffith did. Not sure why I think that. I need to hit the google.

The Fresh Prince was singer-turned-actor, not the other way around.

My girl likes to party all the time, party all the time - that’s been in my head for the last hour. Awesome.

WHAT?!?

Rick Moranis had an album called “The Agoraphobic Cowboy”!?

How did I not know this!

Apparently Andy had 10 or more. And while Don did not he did appear on one of Anyd’s albums. Now you know what to get me for Christmas.

Put a boooogie up your butt, butt, butt, put a boooogie. How did that not make Billboards top 100?

She’s Like the Wind!
Heartbeat!
Rocket Man!

You people need to get out of my brain, those were the first songs I thought about after seeing Cord mention the timeless classic, Party All the Time (which, BTW, has a great remix by Sharam of Deep Dish).

QC: it may be the Indy 500. It’s something thereabouts though!

Ok, I must make a confession here. I didn’t by the whole album but I did by the Heartbeat Single. Sure, I had to put two pennies on my record needle but I listened the hell out of that song. I think that Tell it like it is was the b side. See how old I am.

I wonder if iTunes has any of these gems. I may have to buy a few. And She’s Like the Wind makes me want to watch Dirty Dancing.

I agree with you 100%. The album is terrible. But the singer vs. acting and Scarlett vs. Zooey debate has been raging in a million other blogs, so it seems a little late to rehash it here.

I love this site, so sorry to be kind of obnoxious, but you guys have been rehashing articles and mimicking writing styles from NY Mag a lot lately. I love NY Mag, too, but I don’t want to read things twice.

I’m just saying. Still love you, though!

I didn’t know Swayze actually sang that song. It makes me love him even more.

Beth has me in a quandry. Just because it’s all old news to you doesn’t mean it’s old to everyone else. This is the first I have participated in such a debate so please don’t ruin it for me. Still love you though.

There is a Scarlett vs. Zooey debate?! Why? how silly silly bo billy banana fanna mo milly me my mo filly SILLY!

I don’t even know why but a million other blogs have the debate so why don’t we have it. Why is that, CORD? Where is our Zooey Scarlett debate?

Zooey who?

Apparently we’re the uncool little sister blog that gets left out of all the important conversations, like the Zooey Scarlett debate. That’s fine, we’ll be in the corner playing dolls and trucks, we didn’t want to be part of it anyway.
*sniffle*

@ jujubees, yeah, you’re totally right. That’s why I admitted to being obnoxious. I shouldn’t assume that people who read gossip blogs also read music blogs.

It’s just kind of annoying when all the bloggers I read also read each other’s blogs and rehash the same stuff without a new perspective.

Zooey Deschanel has become the latest indie actress/singer darling for being part of a duo called She and Him.

So anticipating Scarlett’s release, there’s been a lot of debate regarding who is better, Zooey or Scarlett.

Then it’s up to Beth get Linsday in some kind of car chase for entertainment.

Oh, one more thing (sheesh, I can’t believe I’m still commenting here). I totally forgot about that Rick Moranis album; thanks for the reminder. It’s honestly really good… no hint of irony here, I promise.

I honestly have an inexplicable, inappropriate love for Rick Moranis.

Now can we discuss?

Rick Moranis was the man in Spaceballs.

Janice, I’m worried. You didn’t do anything disgusting watching, Honey I Shrunk The kids, did you?

Oops. I just fell asleep at my desk. I hope nobody noticed?

Apparently my kind Sir, you do not know the musical ambrosia composed by John Travolta or Eric Estrada. My mom bought BOTH of those records back in the day. Who in thier right mind buys a record from Ponch?

Juju, it wasn’t disgusting. It was beautiful.

Other album I have by actors:
Amy Madigan’s band Jellyfish
Tim Curry’s (self titled, I think)
and that girl that played Blair on the Facts of Life did an awful, awful album of “inspirational music”

I am at work or else I’d get the names but they are all pretty bad…Jellyfish is the best of these.

playa
I wasn’t aware that “Blair” had an album later in life, but I did know she (pre-Facts of Life) was on the cover of a Micky Mouse Club album I had back in the early 80s. So maybe she is a singer-turned actor? hmmm. kind of what came first the chicken or the egg.

I hope I never see Rick Moranis nude, EVER. But if it makes Janice happy, who am I to judge. Afterall, I did buy Leif Garret’s, Feel The Need. And I did.

I had no idea that was Amy’s band. Baby’s Coming Back, jellyfish? I liked that song but that’s all I remember from them.

And I think I remember Cord posting one of Tim Curry’s songs around Halloweeny.

Juju, you’re a giver.

I can respect your fetish. I had a thing for robocop.

What about the mess, no beauty, that is Kevin Bacon and his brother? I think they, creatively, call themselves The Bacon Brothers.

Juliette (Lewis) and the Licks. <-
Oh, lest we forget Jennifer Love Hewitt’s powerful “Barenaked” and “How do I deal” Pure…. Well, I’m sorry I lost my straight face.

Hello, the BLUES BROTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s Blues Brothers from 1980 not 2000.

I totally agree with you,SnackySmores, Rick was definitely the man in Spaceballs.

Every since hearing the words “ludicrous speed…GO!” I have professed my undying love for Rick Moranis.

SnackySmores: Shame on you for being a pale white woman to make that remark! Good for Scarlett for being happy with herself. As a fellow pale white woman, I much prefer Scarlett’s outlook on life to yours. Don’t be such a Judgy Judgerson!

I will give you props for the first time Cord;’Party all the time’ is an amazing track. Play it(Eddie’e Track)sometimes before hittin’ the ‘Burg’ and don’t go stealing my burg..

swayze. she’s like the wind. through my tree.

nobody puts swayze in the corner.

what about russell crowe and his band?

or keanu reeves? doesn’t he have a band?

Dogstar or something like that. There’s a dog in there somewhere.

HYSTERICAL, MARIA!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ELOQUENCE:

cdd: Do you have sand in your vagina? Because you seem a little irritable.
I don’t see what my comment about her thighs has to do with my outlook on life, but okay. Will it make you feel better if I said that she has a really nice chest.

I can’t believe no one has mentioned the Hoff, or did I miss it? That being said I’m gonna have to vote for Leonard Nimoy’s Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.

Oh wait, there’s Jack Wagner - All I need, too.

SnackySmores, I will testify to your good outlook on life and your hilarious sense of humor.

(Extra poins for the “sandy crotch” comment, because that DOES make one a little irritable.)

queencrone, thanks. You have an awesome sense of humor too. I love the comment section of this site, I’m sure my students think I’m insane when I bust out laughing for no reason, but this is the only break I get somedays.
