GET DOWN WITH THE DICKNESS!
America's loudest lounge singer Richard Cheese is back in black tie with "TUXICITY," an all-new CD featuring kooky lounge-style covers of rock hits. With his swingin' Lounge Against The Machine band, the finger-snapping, liquor-lapping, night-capping crooner turns a round of rock songs into traditional pop vocal standards.
Yes, it's the perfect mix of music, martini, and madcap as Dick delivers shaken and stirring Vegas versions of popular hits like "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot, "She Hates Me" by Puddle Of Mudd, "Chop Suey" by System Of A Down, "Shake Ya Ass" by Mystikal, and "Hot For Teacher" by Van Halen. From The White Stripes to White Zombie, from Linkin Park to Cypress Hill, from Guns 'N Roses to Britney Spears, "TUXICITY" is a "fromage homage" to the biggest names in music.
Kooky lounge-style covers of rock hits, crooned by America's loudest lounge singer. Eighteen uncensored selections from the alternative, rap, pop, eighties, and classic rock charts, from The White Stripes to White Zombie, from Linkin Park to Cypress Hill, from Guns 'N Roses to Britney Spears, Tuxicity is a 'fromage homage' to the biggest names in music. Paper sleeve. Revelation. 2002.

Rating:  - SImply awesome!!!!!!!
Richard Cheese is the ___________ man. He did the unthinkable, make a _______ song like YOu Drive me Crazy by Britanny Spears into a great song!!! Weird, but cool. ANd this is not a novelty band either, you know, when a _____head with a dinky keyboard puts a premade beat (that dosen't even sound musical) with weak notes. It's real. Seriously though, the piano, bass, drums, a real lounge jazz band. No fake bull_____.
DOn't be fooled with the list. Even though Disturbed, Sir-Mix ... Read More

Rating: - Interesting
I will go through the various stages that my mind catapulted through while listening to the various songs on this album.
First and foremost, utter shock at what this album actually is. A collection of lounge covers of some of the weirdest, hardest, and most shocking rock, rap, and...Britney Spears??? This is absolutely the worst idea I've ever heard of! Now don't get me wrong, I've heard of Richard Cheese before. This isn't the first time I've been graced with that name. I guess I just ...

Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine have done the obvious, obviously. While not strictly as bad as William (Bill) Murry's obnoxious lounge act, nor as over-the-top as the late Andy Kaufman's Tony Clifton persona, `Richard Cheese' keeps his performance within the character's velvet rope guidelines, and instead minimizes and only slightly deconstructs the classic lounge song. This is neither Sinatra nor Bennet, nor is it your little brother doing a bad imitation of them. This is serious lounge, ... Read More
Rating: - For those who like their pop with extra cheese
This is one of the funniest CDs I have ever heard. Some may consider this album insulting to the original artists, but Cheese's "loungization" of each is so perfect that one has to appreciate the time and effort put into the process. All Cheese albums are technically parodies, but each song is done with such style and precision that it comes off as more of a quirky, left-handed homage to the bands he covers. This is for those (like me) who love heavy, "alternative" bands, and who don't take their music ... Read More
