cracktastic 20s pop singalong of the day: "He's So Unusual", Helen Kane

All Helen Kane's songs are cutesy, fun, and hilarious, what with her incredibly thick Brooklyn accent (which also makes them great fun to sing along with: "Oh let's not taaaahk in the daaaahk!"). But this one is extra hilarious because she's desperately in love with a guy who's trying (and failing) to beat her off with a stick, practically. He's clearly gay, or as Wax put it the last time this song came up: "Come on, woman, your boy is gagging for cock."

Hes So Unusual - Helen Kane


( lyrics of hilarity, not that it's hard to understand - her enunciation is exemplary, if heavily accented! )

Lady of Quality

( Lady of Quality is reminiscent of Bath Tangle, but mostly because Georgette Heyer seems to have a very particular idea of life in Bath. )
