What the...I...how...hmmm. Have you seen this clip of Jim Carrey (yes Jim Carrey) singing "I Am The Walrus" as George Martin produces and conducts a studio orchestra? The song is from Martin's 1998 album In My Life. It's...ummm... different to say the least. I don't recall ever hearing about this album, but a quick stop by Amazon reveals that, in addition to Carrey, it was loaded with guest performers such as:
• Bobby McFerrin ("Come Together")
• Goldie Hawn ("A Hard Day's Night")
• Jeff Beck ("A Day In The Life")
• Celine Dion ("Here, There & Everywhere")
• Vanessa-Mae ("Because")
• John Williams ("Here Comes The Sun")
• Billy Connolly ("Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite")
• George Martin ("The Pepperland Suite")
• Phil Collins ("Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, The End")
• George Martin ("Friends And Lovers")
• Sean Connery ("In My Life")
Normally these things leave me cold (if you remember the BeeGees Sargent Pepper fiasco you know what I mean), but I have to say this really isn't bad. It might be better if you listened to it rather than watch the video, unless you're a Carrey fan and don't mind his incessant mugging. But he does some interesting interpretations of the lyrics that I liked. And, knowing full well what he was up against, during the fade out he says, "There, I did it! I've defiled a timeless piece of art! For my next trick I'll paint a clown face on the Mona Lisa, while using the Shroud of Turin as a drop cloth!"
