TV Characters who should record music albums

[scains]

My number 1

Karen Walker, from hearing her in Will and Grace I would definitely rush out and buy her album!

Can't you just take an Eartha Kitt 33 and play it back at 45?

 

[SonOfSlobone]

Megan Mullaly actually has a singing career, or she thinks she does. She sang on Letterman one time and was godawful.

The character I wish would record an album is Roseanne. Doesn't matter if she does it in character or for real, it would be exactly the same...

If I knew what that meant I probably could

 

[Jayden]

Blanche from the Golden Girls. She should make a saucy dance cd.

And we know she can dance [ignore the snotty commentary]

I know.

(Now you know how I feel sometimes with all this modern technology.)

 

[scains]

I know.

(Now you know how I feel sometimes with all this modern technology.)

I'm sure I am not as comfortable with modern technology as you would expect me to be. I still am uncomfortable using a telephone, and that was modern a long time ago.

More comfortable than I am, I'm sure.

By the way, he was talking about these:

The one on the left is a 33 RPM record album (actually, 33 1/3 RPM). The one on the right is a 45 RPM. If you play the 33 RPM at the 45 RPM speed, it would sound like the Chipmunks.

Finally, this is the magnificent Eartha Kitt. Imagine her singing this like the Chipmunks and you'll understand Jasun's joke.

(Listen for her trademark guttural 'Rrrrrrrr' at the very beginning.)

 

[DonQuixote]

Neil,
You didn't explain that the 45 is a single song/side record, while the 33-1/3 is an "LP" - Long Playing Album - many songs per side like a full CD today.

Then there were the early ones - 16-1/6 -- But, while my record player had the setting, I never saw one.

I did have some 78's though - similar to 45, small spindle hole, single record sized.

 

[Adrock-JD]

^ It was way more complicated than what we have today.

I don't know any tv 'characters' that aren't on reality shows.

 

[josher]

Megan's duet with Sean Hayes in the finale of Will and Grace, "Unforgettable", was just that.

She has a very good singing voice. She's sung on Broadway and on her short-lived TV show.

There are YouTube clips of her singing in her night club act.

That was the best song ever.

Although Jane Horrocks who played the bimbo secretary Bubble in "Absolutely Fabulous" - complete with Yorkshire accent, which is totally her own real accent, sang magnificently in the movie "Little Voice".

Bubble: "By the way, the police called to say they've released your mother..... that's nice really, 'cos they haven't had a record out in ages."

Dorothy & Rose
golden Girls

It was hearing Karen Walker sing To Sir With Love in Season 6 Episode 8. Awesome!

Love Bubble, and that accent, my favorite character of all time. She was great in that Mike Leigh film too playing a bulimic. An album done in that voice would be just what the doctor ordered.
