Does anyone remember the artist who imitates
Sinatra singing the alphabet song?

I was discussing comedy cuts that you remember but
could not remember who did it with the owner of a
store - this one came up and nobody could remember
the artist.

Thanks,

I've never heard of them, I highly doubt it. Whereas David Peel and the
Lower East Side did do that type of a song described IMHO, on their Have A
Marijuana album.

My (late, unfortunately) cousin (breast cancer) was invited to the recording
session for that album, but she thought David was lying when he told her he
was gonna be recording an album, so she didn't bother to make it.

Oh well, I'd be famous. ;-)

Wasn't that the name of a play about a fundraiser in a convent
(after a terrible cooking accident)?

I'd forgotten about that one - I dug out my copy ... while it has an
accent from the same region, the style isn't there. I'll play it for
the person who brought this up and see if it is the one he remembers
(memories distort over the years and the New York accent might
have been what he remembered).

What's there, is an alphabet song. I'm trying to remember how it starts,
something like - "ABCDEFG, LSD, DMT, POT,", etc.

Brian, could you transcribe that song for the ng (my album copy is probably
flood damaged (Allison), and I'd have to get around to fixing my stereo.)

Joe Piscopo often imitated Sinatra. Here are some of the songs that
Dr. Demento played:
drd86.0831.html:Late Night - Joe Piscopo
drd85.0901.html:New Jersey - Joe Piscopo
drd85.0804.html:Fat Boy - Joe Piscopo
drd85.0728.html:Good Morning America - Joe Piscopo
drd85.0728.html:Late Night - Joe Piscopo
drd82.1212.html:First Rehearsal - Joe Piscopo
drd82.1121.html:I Love Rock & Roll (Medley) - Joe Piscopo
that I found on Jeff's search engine:
http://mypage.iu.edu/~jbmorris/search_pl.html
First Rehearsal would be the rare item, IIRC, the flip side of
ILR&R.

When I read the question, I immediately visualized Piscopo playing Sinatra
singing the alphabet, but I don't know if he really did it.

I did hear a bit of Piscopo on the radio a day or two ago (the RonSonja
show?), and he was mentioning his Sinatra impersonations he did on Saturday
Night< and sung a bit of Sinatra on that show.) He does a good Sinatra.

This is starting to ring a bell. I can't remember the artist, but I
remember someone singing about "crazy q" or "crazy z" just like Sinatra
would. Maybe an impressionist or stand-up comedian? But I don't think it
was Piscopo.

I wrote a of a a Cra Z (in honor of Jay Z (and I think it was the great Luke
Ski (but I could be off on this, someone in this ng should know if I'm
correct on) who came up with "Lay Z" and the word I parodied in that case))
in one of my parodies, and I have also parodied Sinatra, could you be off in
that you "heard" it rather than "read" it? I'll include the 2 parodies
below so you can see what I'm talking about. If someone had done that as
well, I didn't get it off of that (that I know of), but rather it's what we
know as a "synchronicity".

'They're Coming To Snuff Me Away, Luv Uh' by 'Stan and the Sequencers'
Parody of 'They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha Ha' by 'Napoleon XIV'


Remember when you ran a WAY and you grabbed your scissors and begged me to
leave because I'd go "Weird Al"?

Well,


You left me anyhow and then the trolls got worse and worse and now BC I've
gone completely out of my mind.

And,


They're coming to fake you a WAY, luv uh
They're coming to snuff me away, Oh No!, Cra Z, W

On Uncle Jon's farm, where Stan is 'Beautiful' all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men and their bald white heads and
they're coming to snuff me away, luv uh!


You said you had a toke and so you coughed you laughed when I had said that
losing that hit made me Flipp my er,

White?


You know you coughed I heard you cough you laughed you coughed and laughed
and then you toked but now you know you're totally stoned.

And,


They're coming to fake you a WAY, luv uh
They're coming to snuff me away, Oh No!, Cra Z, W

At the flaming house with trolls and spammers and airplane rules and basket
cases who KISS and sign and wiggle their hips and hoes and they're coming to
snuff me away, W!


I cooked your 'tude, I nailed your CON and this is how you pay me back for
all my kind, unselfish trolling deeds?

Huh?


Well, you just wait we'll find you yet and when we do they'll pull your
account at AOLuh you mangy muttuh!

And,


They're coming to fake you a WAY, luv uh
They're coming to snuff me away, Oh No!, Cra Z, W

On Uncle Jon's farm, where Stan is 'Beautiful' all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men and their bald white heads and
they're coming to snuff me away, luv uh!

Smoke and Mirrors (parody of Love And Marriage (Cahn/Van Heusen) Frank
Sinatra)
Parody lyrics by Stan and the Sequencers

Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors
Come together like impeachment hearings
This I tell you sucker
You don't get one without the other

Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors
How can I make this any clearer?
Open dictionary (StanNote: and look up "sexual relations")
And it will show it's elementary


Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion

Smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors
Come together like impeachment hearings
DeLay won't tell you sucker
You don't get gov. without the "brother"
