Here is something you might like better, from Canada:

Never touch the stuff.

I gave the vid a second try just listening to the song since the action was unwatchable for me. But, alas, I didn't care for the song either.

Here's a vid of guys hamming it up on a song. This isn't a fair comparison because these guys are geniuses and it's a great song. But it shows what can be done with the humorous approach. Notice how effective the underplay can be. Very few can get away with over the top performances.

In the over the top category, nobody can touch Weird Al.

"Yo, ding dong, yo!"

"I got more chins than Chinatown."

<Tim> I can't stomach Weird Al, but you're certainly right about that <Paul Simon> song it is great.

Do you notice he is still using some African beats in that number? I thought that was one of his best periods when he was exploring African music.

Here he is with <Black Ladysmith Bombastic>: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAhH...

Good call <Mr. Karloff>- I added Darren Aranofsky's <Requiem for a Squab> to the list, with credit to you: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls070522782/.

Little known fact about the Everly Bros is that most of their early hits were written by the married team, Felice and Boudleaux Bryant.

<Trappist Pickle> heh....

<Trappist Pickle> and <Teem>

Thanks for Everly Brothers lessons. If I'm not mistaken they first signed with <Martinez Records> back in the late 30s?

Here is another super cool track from the early days of <Martinez Records>:

The Bros first hit was "Bye, Bye Love" (1957). It was #2 behind an Elvis hit. They had already developed their signature harmony.

Bobby Darin managed to accomplish a lot in his 37 years. He started out as a singer-songwriter and scored a few hits in the late 50's. He also became an award winning actor.

Here's a tribute to Darin and his first wife Sandra Dee with his song "Dream Lover". He met her on the set of his first major film for which he won a Golden Globe award as the best newcomer.

<caucho> Thanks for more Bread- Some may find them "lightweight" but I think <David "Bill" Gates> is a great singer, something like <Art Garfunkle>. Not as great as Art, but I like him.

Here is "Guitar Man," a song Gates wrote about <Boomie>:

<Jeem Bartle> Thanks for adding to <Teem's> background information on <Bobby>.

Here's another distinct style to add to your list of three diverse Bobby styles. This song was written by <Teem Hardin>:

<Teem> Based on your recommendation of "Beyond the Sea," I have gotten ahold of <Kevin Spacey's> film about the great Bobby Darin, called <Beyond the Sea>, oddly enough.

Super cool song.
