Once upon a time, there used to be "Variety Shows" on television -- each network had two or three, with the foremost being the Ed Sullivan Show. Appearing on the variety shows were famous celebrities as well as new upcoming acts. In addition to the Variety Shows, there were numerous "Talk Shows," like Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas, where celebrities would also perform. Back then, they figured, "if you can act, you can sing," so actors would be pressed into performing the current hit songs on these shows. From these comes "Golden Throats" -- songs sung by actors whose voices would be better left in the shower. These renditions are so over the top, one might suspect that we were being punked, however, the performers are earnestly trying their best to make their way through some of these classics. The outcome is hysterically funny, and these have become some of our favorites -- much in the way that William Hung made famous his performance of "She Bangs" on American Idol, which through its naive ineptness is so much better than the original!
My personal favorites are the Sebastian Cabot (Mr. French on Family Affair) selections -- there is nothing better!
