From the groundbreaking Rhino 1988 LP Golden Throats: The Great Celebrity Sing-Off, please enjoy the pneumatic Mae West and her avant-garde to the max version of "Twist and Shout."
As always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.
I loved that! A more convincing punked-out/ecstatic/inspired performance than a lot of "name" female rock singers I could mention.

And my earlier might even have been a reasonable guess but for Simels' preemptive hint that i missed ... "it's the album not the song." Hmmm:
ReplyDeleteAlbums you thought would suck but didn't?
Albums with a sense of humor?
Rock albums featuring a movie star or other non-musical celebrity on the cover?
