On this day in 1984 Ed Gein died. Gein was perhaps the dictionary definition of criminally insane (amongst other things) and provided inspiration for murderers in many fictional works such as ‘Psycho’, ‘Silence of the Lambs’ and ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’. Not somebody you’d want to bump into in a dark alley and DEFINATELY NOT someone you would want attending your funeral.
And now, the news:
Satellite spies vast algal bloom in Baltic Sea
Joyriding bear leaves teen grizzly
After the travesty of the Frog Song yesterday you’ll be wondering if there are such things as decent novelty songs… Well surprisingly there are! The following tune is an example. It was written and sang by the Big Bopper and nobody knew how to craft novelty rock and roll songs better than he did. Sadly the Big Bopper is better known these days for having been one of the guys that died in the same plane crash as Buddy Holly but he was a famous singer and DJ in his own right well before his tragic death. As well as being the singer and writer of the smash hit ‘Chantilly Lace’ he broke the world record for a continuous radio broadcast by one man without sleeping (five days, two hours and eight minutes, playing 1,821 records) and coined the term ‘music video’. In 2007, 48 years after his death the Big Bopper’s body was exhumed and was found to be in perfect condition apart from the injuries sustained in the crash. Anyway, here’s a Big Bopper song that is vaguely on topic:
