Leonard Nimoy - Music To Watch Space Girls By (1967)

I'm not much of a Star Trek fan but I love the idea of Leonard Nimoy being in character as Mr. Spock for this album, especially because it has instrumentals, such as this one, that he clearly has nothing to do with. It's highly illogical.

Note: It's a cover of a Bob Crewe song from the previous year. The producer here is Charles R. Grean (though uncredited?) who worked with Nimoy to put this whole thing together.

    It kind of makes me think of other great fictional characters who could put out an album in similar fashion. You could have Captain Picard and Data do a duet. Or Walter White could cut a record about making meth in New Mexico with Jesse Pinkman as his hype guy?

    I'd nominate Macho Man Randy Savage's rap album "Be A Man" as the top contender for such a concept, but wrestling isn't fake.

Cindy & Bert - Der Hund Von Baskerville (1971) Cindy & Bert, a German vocal duo (and married couple) mainly played breezy tunes akin to say, Sonny & Cher. Apparently they were quite successful with a number of pop hits on the German charts through the 70s. This here though - it's a bit of a mind boggle. We have our happy couple covering Sabbath's 1970 hit Paranoid, in the German language, but they changed the lyrics to something concerning Arthur Conan Doyle's crime novel "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (published 1902) which is a story of Sherlock Holmes investigating an allegedly demonic dog.  What ties together Black Sabbath and Sherlock Holmes? Truly nothing I can think of. For additional confusion we get this performance with Bert and Cindy in front of a spooky foggy castle backdrop. It has a similar look to a Hammer horror film. Bert looks a bit disinterested or perhaps high or perhaps undead. The crowd seemingly has no idea how to dance to this ...
