Weird & Wonderful

Sixteen musical theatre stars joined forces to record WEIRD & WONDERFUL, a CD of comic songs by Alexander S. Bermange. The nineteen-track album contains hilarious musical portraits of a multitude of crazy characters, and boasts sleeve notes by triple Oscar-winning lyricist Tim Rice.

The collection of witty ditties profiles some hysterically eccentric individuals and includes such intriguing oddities as He Left Me For My Granny, I’ve Fallen In Love With A Sheep and A Trainspotter’s Tale. The tracks range from tongue-twisting patter songs about the frustrations caused by computers and automated telephone answering systems (Easy As A-P-C and Moaning About Phoning) to bittersweet torch songs expressing the darker side of love (The Man Who I Long For and I Loved).

The artists on the WEIRD & WONDERFUL CD comprise some of the best-loved and most prolific names from the musical theatre world. As Tim Rice writes in his sleeve notes, “The impressive list of artistes who have become involved in this project is a great tribute to Alexander’s talent with both words and music.”
