Earl Okin - Musical Genius and Sex Symbol -- Sony5152852

Something different: unless you have frequented the Kings Head Comedy Club in London you may not have encountered Earl Okin. He's in the British tradition of comedy musicians, but out of the top drawer for originality and musicality. This album is worth it simply for his "interpretations" of "I'm just a teenage dirtbag" as a lush bossa nova, a swing version of Blur and an easy listening rendition of Coldplay's Yellow. I'm not sure if they are revivals or covers, but they are very funny...
