Bob Rivers - Best of Twisted Tunes 1 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

As host of KISW rock's morning show, Bob Rivers is known, loved and laughed at by millions of Seattleites who treasure his witty (and vulgar) song parodies. This follow-up to his first collection finds Rivers and his Twisted crew tackling the major social events of our day, be it the OJ Simpson trial (InchOfficer Furman,Inch InchOJ's Trial ThingInch) or the rapidly advancing years of the Baby Boom generation (InchI Used to Rock 'N Roll All Night,Inch InchGetting Fatter All the TimeInch).

'Some Like It Hot' is a 1959 film starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon about a group of rogue musicians on the adventure path. It is funny, sexy, rambunctious and evergreen - a showcase of a triple-threat cast at full-throttle. 'Some Like It Hot' is also the new album by London three-piece Bar Italia.
