Prepare to cringe: Liberace's far-out "Feelin' Groovy" from 1968

Introduced in 1972… So yeah, later than the video, but…
But then again, anything propagated by big dish soap has safely arrived at the mainstream.

Liberace doing ‘Feeling Groovy’ was nowhere near as cringeworthy as some of the things you’d see in that era, like Dinah Shore singing ‘Bad Bad Leroy Brown’, which is somehow burned into my brain. ":musical_note: …baddest man in the whole darned town… :musical_note: "

My mom had a Liberace record titled ‘A brand new me’ or something like that, with his arrangements of several contemporary songs, and an appropriately flower power cover. The easy listening contingent had pretty good taste at times.

“Liberace’s turning on…” OK? Why not?

Neither does this (1971):

Yeah but I give her credit for this:

Many or most of you will have already seen this (FYI, this episode will be 47 years old in a couple of days):

I’ve seen it but somehow I missed this…

The Sales brothers are Soupy Sales kids.

I gotta pay attention more, I thought I knew a lot of weird music trivia.

I dunno - I don’t think its cringe, I think its really campy with a dose of cheese.

Sure, it is, on one hand, unhip, but on the other I kinda like when the old guard tries out the newest thing.

Or when old people don’t act their age.

That is kinda funny, given the subject matter and the stuffiness of Lawrence Welk.

I can just imagine a show like the covering NIN’s closer, but the arranger already altered the lyrics.

“I want to pet you like an animal. I’ll open the door and let you outside.”

If we were to re-do “Rappin’ Granny” in 2024, with the same relative ages. It would be a film set in 2011 with Sir Ian McKellen singing “London Bridge

This would be the version the Main Street Singers would do in the movie A Mighty Wind.
