the ‘𝑵𝒐𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆’ dream catalogue true crime doc is dropping later this month, much sooner than everyone initially thought it would - it got me thinking… who really did the better version of the titular song? - charles person? - chris the burger? - no, it was neither… it was in fact mr. joe refano, a strapping young lad with a dream of stardom, and making it big in the industry, but trapped on rainbow road with a rare condition that limits his lyrical comprehension to only a single line of any given verse - here is proof of that, with guest vocals from the good doctor only known as “channard” - it’s a very peculiar musical collaboration, but certainly not the strangest thing in the history books.
