Jaymz Bee & The Deep Lounge Coalition - "Sub Urban"
Following the "Shaken and Stirred" post, here's more from Canadian lounge parodist Jaymz Bee, whose 2002 album "Sub-Urban" features unlikely jazz/Broadway/bossa nova/disco covers of rap/r'n'b hits. I like this album a bit more than "Shaken" - it gets more mileage out of the concept. Like it's predecessor, it's lushly orchestrated with a gang of talented guest singers. Hearing cheezy white guys singing with a straight face about bling and bitches, and sophisticated adults singing juvenilia, will make you laff! Or at least smirk a bit. Not as jokey (or funny) as Richard Cheese, but more musical. Pick hit: the surf-a-go-go version of "Get Ur Freak On" with its interjections from some Jerry Lewis-type character, but also dig that surreal "Gin & Juice," and the campy Tony Randall-esque "Nuthin' But A "G" Thang."

seriously, you have officially made my day. thank you so much. jaymz bee is such an underrated talent. i think i would die of shock if you posted 'look people - boogazm' next.
Well, I am very glad to be a day-maker, but alas, i don't have anything else by Mr Bee. I take it Look People were more straight-ahead rock, and not a jazz/comedy/lounge kinda thing?
definitely not straight ahead. but definitely more rock band than lounge/comedy thing. just as fun. live show was spectacular. needed to be witnessed. it has been so long since i saw them that all finite details have long since been blurred fuzzy by time, but the gut feelings that is still there reminds me of how much fun was had at 'look people' shows.
this is jaymz bee and the royal jelly orchestra's clint east woody allen alda album. original material except for a cover of 'music to watch girls by'
