The Song Fight Bulletin Board

So I was listening to a morning talk show this morning and they were playing an old episode where Matthew and Gunnar Nelson were the guests. I listened to them a while and realized that they sound exactly like Frankie Big Face. Not only when they sing, but when they talk.

Have you ever noticed this about another Songfighter?

Everyone is always trying to ride Frankie's wave.
You're right though, the one on the left hits some Frankie notes.

Ken, yes...and in a weird coincidence...I stayed at a hotel in St. Petersburg (Florida) last Friday night and the guy who checked me in sounded JUST LIKE YOU. I'm not kidding...at first I had to place it. I realized his voice sounded familiar right off the bat but my first thought was that I met him before. Later I realized he sounded like you. Your voice is slightly deeper than his.

Eric Mc B sounds like Underdog I think, or some cartoon character, but I can never quite put my finger on it. The old cartoon, not the movie.

BLT, I think you're thinking of Mr. Peabody (and his boy Sherman). You know, with the Wayback machine.

I've been compared to worse.

Hey Frankie, has anyone ever said that in your avatar, you look like a Simpsons-ized David Bowie?

Thank you, yes!

Why do I hate that guitar sound in the Nelson clip? Too much compression? Because it out-Ovations an Ovation? Or am I the only one?

Yeah, what is it with all the Simpsons avatars, anyway?

I tried to Simpsonize my picture, but it made me look like some illiterate drunk that hangs out on Internet forums. Stupid Simpsonizer!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the very definition of an "Inside Joke", and a very good joke at that.

Kudos j$, this made me laugh out loud in a not wanting to resort to a simple emoticon kind of way.

OH what the heck.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Actually, I laughed too when I saw it yesterday, knowing Frankies constant Bowie vox comparison. In fact, I have found that J$ quite often manages to coax a chuckle out of me.

Good thing mine doesn't look like Matthew Sweet.

OR DOES IT?!

John "Mad Dog" Ambrosavage of Octothorpe sounds a lot like John Astin, who played Gomez Addams on the TV show. But only when he's performing.

But he's always performing.

I would have said the same. He doesn't seem ANY different on stage to me than he does having brunch in Queen Ann.

The first time I went to Seattle, it was for Song Fight Live. Spud picked me up at the airport. We then went to his office, and met up with Mad Dog.

I forget the first thing he said, but the first thing I said to him was, "Holy crap, it's <em>that voice</em>. The voice of <em>Octothorpe</em>."

I think Mad Dog sounds like Dr. Demento.

That happened to me as well. Except my thought was more like, "Hrm, where do I know that voice from... OH YEAH, HIM!"
