I cannot tell a lie; I was inspired by this posted image over at BoingBoing. If I had any doubts as to whether or not I was headed for the fiery pit, this should clinch it.

"Mama, Looka Boo-Boo"
Robert Mitchum

"Shut you mouth! Go away!" From the infamous Robert Mitchum calypso album comes this song that was previously better known as a Harry Belafonte number. Mitchum speeds it up a bit and adds an additional verse not on the Belafonte version (he also screws up the words in a couple places). It's not a bad calypso number, but ... it's Robert freakin' Mitchum!

One more great thing about this album: when it was reissued on CD in 1995, the record company put a little sticker on the cover of the CD, trying to play up the ultra-cool hip lounge music aspect of the album. Unfortunately, they misspelled a very important word on the text of the sticker:

Personally, I don't have too much confidence in a record label who can't even spell the style of music that they're trying to promote. But that's just me.
