Pink Panther Punk
I was over at the must-read Scarstuff Blog and came across the early 80's album "Pink Panther Punk".
"Pink Panther Punk can be noted by it's insistence on COMPLETELY missing the mark; the LP is a weird mix of between-song skits that lead into covers of somewhat contemporary songs by AOR faves Pink Floyd, Billy Joel & the Doobie Brothers (with Blondie's "Call Me" providing the sole Wave-O moment) alongside equally crummy originals like "Rock And Roll Panther. Despite top billing the pink one himself only sings a song or two, and though perpetually silent in the cartoons he's vocally imagined here as a charmless Tommy Chong-esque stoner."

I've been looking for someone else who remembered this album for years. i used to love it when i was a kid. i don't remember how bad it was, i couldn't have been more than 4 or 5. one day it mysteriously disappeared... my mom still denies throwing it out...
