Calling all hepcats! DJ Li'l Scratch is layin' down some swingin' tracks at the Manor's "Pork Sword" lounge tonight. But first, have you seen the 1980's sitcom "It's a Living?" If you have, then you know about "Sonny Mann," the comically boorish lounge singer played by Paul Kreppel (in a performance that used to annoy me, though now I find it oddly endearing).

Kreppel had to have been lampooning Buddy Greco, at least vocally, a fantastic Vegas lounge singer who surely originated the phrases "Who loves ya', baby!" and "Ring-a-ding-ding!" and "The meatloaf's fantastic! We're open all night!"

And while I make fun of Buddy, his LP, "16 Most Requested Songs" is winningly primeval. This is how songs like "The Lady Is A Tramp" and "She Loves Me" were first performed - or so I imagine - and in fact, how they should always be performed, with unconscious glitz and boy-yo razzmatazz. Dig it, daddy!
BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's RIGHT HERE.
Oh, Gloria, it's year's end, and you know what that means - one year closer until the inevitable laws of nature make all of our dreams come true. Just hang on a little longer, honey. It will be a lot better on the other side of this...
One thing Elizabeth Hurley's gonna do is wear a bikini. The 60-year old actress rang in the new year with her boyfriend, Billy Ray Cyrus, at a 007-themed party wearing a bikini reminiscent of Honey Ryder's famous look in Dr. No . Billy Ray went for an all-black look and I'll let you share your thoughts on his hair. Source: Elizabeth Hurley on instagram
