Marc Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 I thought it might be a good idea to have all songs inspired or trying to make a quick buck off the show in one thread. There's some interesting ones out there that you might not have heard or been posted before. It's a mixed bag. To get us started you'd think this would be unique but there's at least four reggae ones. I don't know who this guy is and if it was an attempt to get on the show. Maybe someone could tell me. Old people playing golf to a easy listening version of Crockett's Theme. The artwork caught my eye. https://www.discogs.com/James-Last-Ocean-Drive-Easy-Living/release/7520193 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicegirl85 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 For your last entry: Love the older guy with his Crockett-inspired wardrobe (sockless, white slacks). A later segment with the same old guy driving a pink Cadillac convertible while "Country Roads" plays stuck me as funny also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) It says in his bio he sold in excess of seventy million albums worldwide. Passed away aged 86 in 2015. Edited August 30, 2019 by Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Here's another slightly younger and less successful European living the dream. They're a bit mediocre but still an interesting watch and were actually released albums. Edited August 30, 2019 by Marc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) I know the hippity-hop music isn't really popular on here but this contains "I'm launchin' rockets and SCUDs at Crockett and Tubbs". Also "cuz I'm on a roll like toilet tissue" might be one of the worst rap lyrics I've ever heard. This was the unreleased original he just changed the title.

Besides making people happy he also sold over 70 million albums world wide. You should hope to accomplish one tenth of what James Last has done with his life until he passed away at 86 in 2015! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to ignore Tony's contribution to thread but since he's actually getting praised and likes. Let's just clear this up. Callin' the guy "old" was never a sign of disrespect on the artist. I was well aware of who James Last is since I found him and wealth of releases. I also recognise that's the comedian Otto Waalkes in the same clip. I fully acknowledged his achievements in my reply to vicegirl85, check out the times of the replies. In the original post I even chose to attach a link to the album so people could go see the photograph and maybe click on his name for themselves. Tony enters the thread, gets offended, then mostly likely uses the Discogs link and quotes this bio information back at me like it's something new and without seeing this has already been mentioned. Not only that but quoting me three times makes the page looks ugly, can we edit this mess, and gave me three notifications. I'm not sure how this is a great post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 I may have misinterpreted Tony, but I thought he was merely making a tribute to the artist. I took the “you” as “anyone who’s reading”, but I’m wrong a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the “you” as “anyone who’s reading”, but I’m wrong a lot. I was left scratching my head. It's nearly a word for word copy of what I'd already typed showing we'd both been caught plagiarizing his bio. One's life being defined as successful by album sales or how many rounds of golf you get to play in retirement is another thing I take issue with but that's another discussion.

Tony D. Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Marc...……..I'm sorry if I misjudged your comment, "Old people playing golf to a easy listening version of Crockett's Theme. The artwork caught my eye." To me it did sound like a disrespectful remark! I apologize if I am wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylerDurden389 Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I'm always vouching for this guy whenever this subject gets brought up. MPMsoundtracks here gets both the Vice tone (even using some of those conga drums in some of his earlier songs) and the overall nostalgic 80's tone down perfectly. The guy's never released his work officially (unfortunately), but for now, for those who don't know of this beast already, enjoy: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
