hahaha

what's the one that involves eating someone's organs or was it defecating on their organs

POX: Alex in NYC posts

where's the one where he compared so and so unfavorably to denny vertigo?

"Shock the Monkey" positively defecates in its own paw and lobs it derisively at not only this Billy Joel track, but at BILLY JOEL'S ENTIRE CATALOG!

Siouxsie's cover of "This Town Ain't Big Enough" discreetly defecates on the original from a lofty, height like a divine brown deluge.

James Ingram and Micheal McDonald "Yah mo be there"

What kind of keyboards did Micheal McDonald and James Ingram use to make this song.

hahahaha that one is great

lol indeed

prefer voices that care to w.a.t.w

jesus christ. at the very least, the message of WATW (standard hippie zen "we should all love one another") is a better one than the barely camouflaged pro-war bullshit of "voices that care."

i actually think "voices that care" may make me angrier than any other record in the world. watching that video certainly does.

"You Had To Take a Stand In Someone Else's Land"

Yeah, "Voices that Care" is pretty indefensible.

Holy crap -Dudley Moore!

wau never even heard of Voices That Care, that is some next level awfulness. was that for Gulf War I? That was a good war.

bible nut orel herschieser and noted facist cokedhead james woods in on the action!

wanna be tough guy stephen stills!

man there's way more actors than singers in that.

what a horrible song!

voices that care makes "we are the world" sound like "supernaut"!

okay that is enough to make me stop playing Major Lazer and check this out

voices that care makes "we are the world" sound like "supernaut"!

Bahahaha

holy fucking lolgasm

Michael fucking Bolton, lolololol

holy shit KENNY G

MERYL STREEP?????????????????

Also I had completely forgotten what early 90s Celine Dion looked like, lololololololol; I spent most of the video going "I know that voice... is that Martika?"

haha Martika

too bad they didn't let Shatner get a few solo bits in

Fred Savage was never more punchable

What the hell. Wow was I glad I never heard about this at the time.

downtown julie brown, brian bosworth, michael tucker from la law, it's really a shame they didn't just take everyone on that stage and bury them deep in the ground as a time capsule.

and i totally remember when this came out! but i think it may have premiered after the simpsons or something, otherwise it might have passed me by

who was the guy that took a big weirdo solo at the end who looked like if charlie brown was a pedophile?

frank sobotka

actually his name is Warren Wiebe

Warren Wiebe (July 18, 1953 – October 25, 1998) was an American vocalist and session artist from San Diego. After playing bass with several bands, he was discovered by David Foster and Burt Bacharach in Los Angeles in 1987. He did the duet "Listen to Me" with Celine Dion for the movie of the same name. It was never officially released.

He was one of several lead vocalists who contributed to the 1991 charity record "Voices That Care".

He is also famous for performing the song "Human Touch", a ballad which was used as one of the ending theme songs for the 1996 anime After War Gundam X. The song is one of a very small number of anime theme songs that not only was performed with English lyrics but was composed by non-Japanese songwriters. An avid ice hockey fan, he was also known for his stirring performances of the national anthems prior to Los Angeles Kings games. He did many demos with David Foster including "When I Fall in Love" for the film Sleepless in Seattle and when Celine heard his singing she wanted him instead of Clive Griffin to sing on the track. In addition he sang on the All-4-One hit "I Swear" and did backing vocals for many artists. Referred to by Quincy Jones as the "Soulful Rain Man" he battled mental health issues and took his own life on October 25, 1998. Several of his early work has been released posthumously but there has not to date been an album of his work entirely.

i spit up my lunch reading this thread. luckily i'm alone. i love you, alex in nyc. in an honoring-the-flame sort of way.

WATW isn't so bad, really. brooce is really embarrassing on it, though. kind of makes you wonder about him.
