From 1975, comic genius Albert Brooks sings the original censored lyrics to Maurice Ravel's Bolero. Unheard since the now standard concert piece was originally premiered at the Paris Opera in 1928.
Coming tomorrow -- the original deeply disturbing lyrics to Pachelbel's Canon.

Can't believe I've gone my whole life without having ever heard that? Wow!
I wish his new book was even remotely as entertaining.
That album is a stone work of genius.
I downloaded it from Never Get Out of the Boat years back, but he pulled the link. I'm pretty sure you can find it elsewhere, though.
God bless Albert Brooks. I hope he writes more novels. Sooner or later, he'll master that form, just like he did stand up, TV, LPs, and movies.
