OT: Celebrities with just bad/corny music attempts

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

I am not sure this is so prevalent anymore, but especially in the 70's and 80's, so many celebrities would release an album or single that would actually get air time.

To understand the genre, here's a couple of examples.

Lol. I don’t even remember this one. They really stuck with the Miami Vice motif. Also, is that Paul Schaffer at the 3:23 mark?

[King Of All Message Boards]

This is so awful it hurts

Damn, if someone posted William Shatner, how wasn't Leonard Nemoy's gem not the immediate follow up?
The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins
"Leonard Nimoy: The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins - Full Album Version" on YouTube

Oh My God. What a find. I vaguely remember this as a kid. LOL.

It’s a decent song but why?

 

[Panther Parrothead]

And of course, Mr. Pat Boone, doing his homage to Little Richard. In fairness, according to an interview that I read, the drummer of the band (Gregg Bissonette) claimed that Boone was all-in on the joke and was laughing his butt off between takes:

Yep. He also did a version of Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame":

This was actually a significant hit, spending 3 weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, blocked from the top spot by Lionel Richie (Say You, Say Me).

Yeah, that's a whole different thread, one I am willing to participate in, "bad covers". This is about celebrity's, mostly actors, who some people thought could actually sell "original" material.

How could I forget this one, but Capt. Kirk's singing was the absolute worst!

I could probably come up with a list of 200 bad covers to go with a list of 200 good covers.
