Richard Cheese And Lounge Against The Machine

[Farmer Reil]

So, I've been getting into jazz a lot lately. Which is slightly scary, but nevertheless entertaining. Richard Cheese, however, is just pure genius.

I love the covers of "Man In The Box", and "Down With The Sickness".

The name of the group is class, too...

[RazorsEdge]

The ending to Rape Me was hilarious.

I want to like Richard Cheese, I really do. I like jazz, and it's an awesome concept that he does really really well and they're funny, but I can never get myself to listen to him for an extended period of time.

All of my college buddies and I went through a Richard Cheese phase, but the only song we could ever really get into was his cover of Down With the Sickness. I didn't mind his cover of 'The Wrong Way' by Sublime, either. The rest I could take or leave.

[AnnIQ Edison]

His cover's of Last Resort and What's my age again have been genius and very well done. Enter Sandman and Welcome to the Jungle though were very iffy

[Skummy]

He's fun for a little while, and I've got "I'd Like A Virgin", which is a nice little novelty album, but it does wear thin after a time, especially when you know people who think it's the BEST THING EVAR and play him all the time...but that's the problem with most "novelty" music, it never holds up to repeated listens. He's one of the better comedy covers acts out there, though, and I actually adore his version of "Girls! Girls! Girls!"

Oh, and I'll calmly ignore the fact that you called him jazz

It is funny that this thread came up as just about a week ago my co-worker left this album at the store and it reintroduced me to the hilarity that is Lounge Against the Machine.

Decent act - but yeah, definitely not jazz. Look up some Dizzy Atmosphere or Take Five or something (song names).

Down with the sickness is amazing.
