D’oh!
“Ali” and “The Super Bowl Shuffle” both enjoyed brief-but-intense popularity.
And while technicvally there were no “hits” on the album, Brent Spiner’s “Here Comes Ol’ Yellow Eyes” is my favorite Trek-related music project to date.
I Love Mickey – “duet” by Teresa Brewer (who was a singer by trade) and Mickey Mantle (who definitely wasn’t).
Comedian Stan Freberg hit the charts with such gems as John and Marsha (which consisted solely of the titular characters repeating each others’ names, but parodying a soap opera by running the gamut of vocal inflections) and St. George and the Dragonet (a spoof of the Dragnet police drama).
Found another one.
Walter Brennan and “Old Rivers”
Didn’t Shaquille O’Neal have some sort of rap song? And how about that Icky Shuffle–wasn’t that a song? And that other football team that had a song in the 80s or 90s?
Wow, that was quite definitive. :smack:
I don’t know if this fits the criteria, but I’ve always admired the self-confidence of Florence Foster Jenkins (wikipedia.org) - a New York socialite who, with supreme self-confidence, gave annual recitals to her acquaintances, recorded albums, and even performed once at Carnegie Hall, despite being the laughing stock of her audiences.
