eBay stupidity - Mendes style

[Mike Blakesley]

Here's the worst description I ever found on eBay of a Sergio Mendes item. Check that engineer's name! I swear I have not tampered with this in any way.

Here's the link if you wanna look for yourself. (The bad html layout is worth a look too!)

Al Herbert- kinda catchy!

I saw that, and meant to point it out here. Funny!

And did you see this auction:

It looks like it's "Pert Lapert y sus Tijuanas" at the bottom of the label, but at the top it says "Iguana Brass"

At least the seller recognizes it as a misspelling, but I don't think this is a genuine HA & TJB album. The titles, with my limited Spanish, just don't match up.

...Pert Lapert - sounds like a shampoo, online...

 

[Murray]

I don't believe that this is a "mislabelled" Tijuana Brass LP. I'd bet that it really IS by a group called the IGUANA BRASS. They may have sounded similar to the TJB (and they covered "Tijuana Taxi"), hence the seller's confusion.


Murray
...The Iguana Brass...I wonder how Herb would have looked in a lizard suit...

 

[Brasil_Nut]

Well, if Herb ever decided to branch out into Ice Cream or Shampoo, he'd make a killing.

Imagine:

"Al Herbert Ice Cream & Other Delights!"

- or -

"Don't Frighten Him Away...Walk, Don't Run to your nearest store and pick up a bottle of Pert Lapert Shampoo today!"

Hey! Stolf should get this one for the TJB Clone List. Iguana Brass....hehehehehhe...

I also think you guys will be whipping up some more of those bad TJB puns pretty shortly too...

 

[Brasil_Nut]

Bad TJB Puns? Of what do you speak?
