ALBUMMER! 46: Freddy's Greatest Hits

Today on Albummer! we're talking about Freddy's Greatest Hits, a collection of Doo Wop songs with a couple of samples of Freddy Kruger without curses. What the heck? Why doesn't he rap?

The crew behind Two Minutes to Late Night are here to re-review some of the most critically reviled albums out there!

The Elm Street Group will certainly help you out if you're interested in a reverse mortgage.

Fun fact, the guy that did music from Twin Peaks also did the music for National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Wouldnt the connection to Freddy with Doo-Wop music and 50/60s stuff be that it was music he liked in character? Dude was born in 1941. Obviously i agree with the points about the music working thematically due to references to dreaming and sleeping and all that. But if you look at it from a storyline perspective it makes sense also.

of course, almost as soon as i type this out Jeremy makes the same point.


In addition, its funny you bring up Lion later, because Lions debut song was a song that was featured in Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter.

F for their misconception of how Giant Bomb works.

Also, this might be the most sorry piece of shit album I've ever heard (I think this to myself most weeks).

Jordan may never see this, but if he misses the taste and texture of cooked onions, fennel and a pinch of asafoetida make for a decent substitute. Consult an allergist though, obviously!

There was an episode of the now-defunct (and seemingly delisted from everywhere) podcast The Smell of Music that covered a number of Freddy Krueger songs, and “Do The Freddy” was somehow the least worst of the bunch. There was some awful dubstep song that just yelled “Freddy Fucking Krueger” at the drop for which I wish I could remember the title or artist. I suppose there’s an audience for everything.

I'm *ALWAYS* going wild about file format jokes, BITCH

Can't wait to try out Knuckles the Hedgehog's famous jambalaya recipe

Also I love when the show goes off the rails when the album ends up not having much worth talking about - fuck it
