Don't ask me how I stumbled on this website of rare, novelty recordings, haven't had time to go through much of it, but this recording of Pat Boone at an Amway convention just screamed TROY!

Ha, ha. I have sometimes wondered what happened to the 365 days project. It was a site in 2003 you could go to daily to download something unusual, one track a day. Kind of fun wondering whether tomorrow would bring something interesting or awful. Looks like they re-did it in 2007.

I've lost most of the tracks I had but I still have (and even listen to occasionally) The Space Lady's cover of Major Tom. (http://www.ubu.com/outsiders/365/2003/002.shtml) I can't really say why I still listen to it; maybe it's the general creepiness... I dunno.

I also still send the track for Understanding Marx (http://www.ubu.com/outsiders/365/2003/006.shtml) to all my more capitalistically inclined friends.

Thanks for the find!

"If some wiseguy suggests that we swap partners..." :eek: Huh? Where did that come from?!

This is too funny. It sounds like it should be an SNL spoof of Boone...except it's too funny for SNL.

Hey thanks for that.

Are there any more squares out there?

Consider me ripping stuff from that site immediately.

I cannot stress how addictive that site is. Did you play this one?

I guess this sorta thing went on all the time with those fast and loose Hollywood types. I would pay money to see the look on Pat Boone's face if someone actually gave such a proposition.
