My YMU Playlist Mix: 'Arch Celebrity Weirdness Alert'

I'm working on another label-specific playlist, for the excellent Planet Mu, but in the meantime, I stumbled upon the very necessary playlist 'Arch Celebrity Weirdness Alert' [YMU link] - the official description is as follows:

"Want to hear some celebrities performing odd, strange, or just plain awful songs? Sure you do, that's why you're listening to this playlist!

Thanks to the Rhino 'Golden Throats' compilations (and Rhino in general!) for some of the inspiration, but there's everything from Laurel & Hardy through Paris Hilton on show here."

Some further notes - one of the great things is that, while the 'Golden Throats' compilations aren't on YMU, some individual albums are - so you can check out the full Cassius Clay album or even Buddy Ebsen's effort if you want - a great example of why YMU rocks. Oh, and I know Pat Boone is a singer, but he's a celebrity too, and that album ('In A Metal Mood') is just too good to leave out.

(Also, the William Shatner album 'Has Been', from which the cover of Pulp's 'Common People' is taken, is one of the most surprisingly good celebrity albums ever, partly thanks to Ben Folds' producing and writing chops. Highly illogical!)
