Still not enough fails in this thread. The original and the best:
Florence Foster Jenkins - Queen of the Night by Mozart.
Fail indeed! This is what that is supposed to sound like, in a 1966 recording featuring Beverly Sills:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oZKZnvonuwEdit: There are actually two recordings in this "video." After reading the description and comments, the first half is from a 1964 recording that is less than stellar; the second half is the "perfect" one. BTW, Sills hated this role, and stopped performing it.

Hmmm, a classic rock day? I was listening to some Best Rock Of All Time compilation and was reminded this is a great song.

Sorry, just now catching up on this thread. It appears I am a few days behind...

And in case stuff doesn't go your way today...
Or, if CoC is not to someone's liking, this song has always reminded me of election day:

A little something for @Yamikuronue as a continuation of music from another thread:

I think their drummer has a cyborg leg, there is no way a human could put that much double-bass in a track without mechanical help.

Or just have two drummers:

Or a drummer who looks like he has no fucking place in your band:
-
They use a drum machine. Originated not too far from me, I own every last one of their albums.
-
They use a drum machine.
That explains so much. I always loved their music. I discovered them years ago on MTV-X, when there was still such a thing and MTV still played music. Always a good band to turn to when you need something to get you moving.

I'm not going to scroll up, but I think when we were posting video game music, somehow Baba Yetu never ended up here. Which is criminal. So here it is.

One of their really obscure songs.
Not "Songs from the original version of their 3rd/0th Album" obscure. Even more than that.

I think I might do a series of downers. There's too much happiness around. And where better to star than Joy Zipper.
Play your cards son
This is what you were givin
Not some movie from the drive in
It's suprising how stupid we forget the real things we forgetI'll insist
Although there is no meaning
No seriousness
And like a childs game
Our life is impermenant
Our death is inevitableThere is nothing
There's nowhere to go
Our life is impermenant
Our death is inevitableI laugh so hard

Again, I'm not going to scroll up, but I'm pretty sure there's no Kinsky here. LAME! Let's fix that:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmsR3dyKtxU
In the words of YouTube, Kinsky is:
Kinski sind eine vierkรถpfige Instrumental-Rock-Band aus Seattle und gehen mit Krautrockverweisen und einer Neigung zur noise-infiltrierten Psychedelica an die Grenzen des Avantgarde-Rock. Ihre Einflรผsse reichen von Neu! und Can zu Spacemen 3 und My Bloody Valentine, von Sonic Youth bis Yo La Tengo.

The original is a bit more epic:

I wanted to play this at my wedding. My wife said no.
