I DOUBLE-DOG DARE YOU to make it through all 2 minutes 42 seconds of this version of "Pretty Woman"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

And don't say you DID if you DIDN'T!

Tav Falco's Panther Burns "Pretty Woman" Madrid 1988: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F14sMwB8AS0

1. If they'd focus on the woman with the tambourine

I could.

otherwise, no way...

2. These guys love to burn bridges...

Don't they?

"Pretty woman... yeah, yeah... uh yeah!"

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear Amerigo Vespucci!

I did it!

I held my nose and I still did it!

But never again, baby!

What awful singing...:puke:

And I really like the song....just not by him!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

4. Congratulations! By the way, they have MANY more songs...

...I was just too nice to post more links here.

:rofl:

:toast:

5. I made it to 41 seconds, then my ears started bleeding

x(

[Amerigo Vespucci]

6. I'd like to tell you it gets better as you go along, but..

...I'd be lying...

:rofl:

[RevolutionaryActs]

7. Roy Orbison must be turning in his grave..

*shudder*

[Hobarticus]

10. At least David Lee Roth can say he didn't do the WORST cover of this

:evilgrin:

[latebloomer]

8. I can never get back

that 29 seconds of my life!

[Hobarticus]

9. Wow, that didn't get any better as it went along, did it?

Egads...

And I love the comment:

yeah! Tav falco rocks! Saw them in Holland on the same tour. Crazy gig. The lead guitarist only has one hand, he would never stop playing, not even between the songs..

[HughBeaumont]

11. I watched the whole thing.

I'm speechless.

If there was ever a YouTube video that should have had the caption EPIC FAIL in big white letters at the bottom, that would be it.

I mean, unless the singer was intentionally off-key and completely losing his place on a relatively easy song as a goof/parody, how was that band ever allowed to play live?

Then again, these gals not only managed to get signed, but actually praised by Frank Zappa & Kurt Cobain and analyzed seriously by rock critics, so anything's possible:

18. All of their stuff pretty much sounds like this...

...I bought their "Train Kept A Rollin'" single years ago because I loved the song. When it got to the "I just couldn't let her go ho ho ho ho ho" part I knew that I had been Panther "burned."

Hard to tell how much of this is intentional and how much is a tragic lack of talent. But Falco found his "thing" and he's never let it rest.

:rofl:

12. An aural flogging.

It sounds more like a jam session or a practice and not like a show. And, aside from the vocals, the miking is terrible.

[DarkTirade]

13. Good thing you never said the volume had to be up or my headphones had to be on during it...

:P

[Elidor]

14. Practice. They needs it.

Badly. No, wait, badly is obviously the way they're already doing it.

[BlueJazz]

15. I tried...I swear to God in Heaven, I really, truly Tried.

Christ....Where do I start?

17.5 bars to a Chorus
Out of Tune
Out of Key
Out of Tone

..and the Words....AGGGGHH!!

[AlCzervik]

16. 33 seconds, i'm out.

[harmonicon]

17. OH MY GOD!

How is that possible? I was in serious pain by 13 seconds, but I stayed through the entire thing because you double-dog dared me. Man, that was difficult. God, that was hard.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

19. And I'm VERY proud of you for hanging in there.

:rofl:

:toast:

[harmonicon]

20. it's not something I should be proud of

I should be ashamed that I didn't have enough self-worth to turn down your dare and just turn the damn thing off at 13 seconds. I've damaged my brain for life.
