vs.

I realize it's been a while since I've done one of my scintillating Icon vs. Icon threads, and after all of the literally twos or threes of Orgnotes I've received on this or other subjects, I figured the time had come for a new installment!

So, okay...in a battle of the wits, a battle of the muscles, a battle of the musical chops, a battle of the hairstyles, a battle of the screeches...WHO WOULD WIN?!?

YOU DECIDE!!!!

coochie, coochie, coochie

And, no, that wasn't a solicitation. Charo. The woman can play the guitar beautifully.

they're actually more similar than it might appear...for starters, they're both classically trained musicians who have been playing since they were children.

personally, i think they should join forces and do a cover of "enough is enough".

And let's hope there's similar rumored drama as there was when Babs and LaDonna recorded it. The story is that Donna was trying so hard to outsing Babs that she fell off of her chair. If it happened to Charo, she could feasibly bounce back up if she falls chest first.

which brings us back to the "VS." aspect of the thread...brilliant!

i would seriously consider selling my soul to the devil if i could get a chance to watch donna summer falling off her chair while recording that song. wow.

You KNOW this is especially hard for me!

superspaceboy said:

ok, well, think about this way:

is it easier to imagine charo singing "human behavior" than it is to imagine bjork signing "feliz navidad"? or vice versa?

Anx said:

Personally I think they should not! I think they should do "These are a few of my favorite things".

Hmmm. Both would be challenging. I'd rather hear Bjork sing Hoochie Coochie (A real song I tell you). But I look at it this way if I was to have lunch wit either, I'd probably pick Charo. I think she'd be highly entertaining!

So, Charo!

superspaceboy said:

oh wow. i'd want to have lunch with both of them. at the same time. yes. i'd want them to record the abbott & costello "who's on first" skit for my outgoing voicemail message. as far as i'm concerned, it's a total 50/50 tie!

i mean, bjork looks better in capes, you have to admit.

Anx said:

Yes, but Charo was one of Capt Stubings Favorite Musical Menaces. And who didn't love Charo on the Love Boat!

superspaceboy said:

charo looks better in broad rimmed hats w/ dingo balls, i will admit.

Anx said:

And I doubt Bjork would have said yes to Pee Wee. Though I think Charo says yes to almost anyone.

I do think Brork has better hair

Anx said:

BOTH SOUND AWESOME!

Charo's no joke on that guitar

superspaceboy said:

i dunno...bjork said yes to space ghost! AND to matthew barney - repeatedly!

I'd like to see Bjork on Fantasy Island or the Love Boat before I make my decision.

NDRU said:

you never see bjork with midgets or dwarves really, do you?

OK as I was walking to my car from school, in my mind I heard Bjork singing the theme to Pee Wee's Playhouse:

*sung with the same zest as "More To Life Than This"



The Cowwntess is so classy
Rrrandy's kinda Sassy
A nuttiere establishment you've never seeeen!
Spend the day with Pee Wee and you'll see what we mean!

CinisterCee said:

it's kind of like 'it's oh so quiet' with different words. and no quiet parts.

Anx said:

Really, my picture should have been this:



Get out of behhhhhd

There will be no morrre laugh-ing

Both could be mistaken for Michael Jackson, but I think Bjork has an edge in this case. So bonus points to Bjork for that.

x a million to this whole thread.

sweet jesus I can actually hear that in my head.

CinisterCee said:

i think bjork IS the embodiment of pee-wee's playhouse. have you ever seen her and floory in the same room together?

eleven said:

GangstaFam said:

Anx said:
