When the soon-to-be-16-year-old in the household (Hi, Natalie!) played me a bunch of songs by British band Ten Masked Men the other day, I laughed out loud – and for a long time.
Here’s a selection of some of my favourites, along with the originals for comparison:
Ten Masked Men – “Play That Funky Music“ (1999)
Wild Cherry – “Play That Funky Music“ (1976)
Ten Masked Men – “When Will I Be Famous“ (2003)
Bros – “When Will I Be Famous“ (1987)
Ten Masked Men – “Don’t You Want Me“ (2003)
The Human League – “Don’t You Want Me“ (1981)
Ten Masked Men – “Goldfinger“ (2003)
Shirley Bassey – “Goldfinger“ (1964)
Ten Masked Men – “I Get Around“ (2003)
The Beach Boys – “I Get Around“ (1964)
Ten Masked Men – “New York, New York“ (2003)
Frank Sinatra – “Theme From New York, New York“ (1979)
It may be a one-joke concept, but I think that joke is hilarious.
