Mark Savage - Do You Think I'm Sexy
Last year I posted this up over at Sharpeworld (when I was curating a weekly MP3 there). It's too good and needs to be included in the 365 Days Project. I found this at a thrift in Seattle in 2000. The album is a talent show recording from Douglass High School in Oklahoma City, OK.

Oh man! The Mark Savage track is the shiznit! I mean,
it sounds like a cross between Mark E. Smith and the
lead singer of the Residents, all jazzed up with the
ego and scattershot hormones of a high school nutjob.
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! (and doesn't that sound
a little bit like Frank Zappa introducing him?)
Robert writes:
Mark Savage seems to have a 'certain something' going
for him. I'm not sure if I'm detecting an ability for
him to work an audience, or just "ham-ability". He sounds
a little like Chuck Barris on crank, for crying out loud.
perhaps, if the game show network plans on reviving 'the
joker's wild', they can seek this guy out.
