Paulo always finds the coolest stuff...

Does anyone know anything about this? I'm all about it, but can't find anything on it (like seller says in listing...)

Ya got me, but it seems like you can't go wrong for that price, even if you had to gut it.

In my case, it would be more like,

"Red, red wine
goes to my head,
makes me spend
my dough.

Red, red wine,
stay away from me.
Don't make me bid
on another bass."

It has been three days since you posted that and I just can't get that song and "I can't help falling in love" out of my head! :? :D

Hands down best version of that tune is Colm Meaney in the Commitments.

He is in a band! I will have to look into that!

It would be awesome if other members of the cast made guest appearances in the songs.

"Warp Drive (ft. Dwight Schultz)"
"Mystery (ft.Marina Sirtis)"

Nah, he's not actually in the band. But I take it you haven't seen the Commitments. Definitely a must-watch for anyone into music. It's like Spinal Tap for cover bands.

Basically Colm plays the Elvis-idolizing father of an Irish kid trying to start a soul band. When he finds out about the band, he asks if they need a singer before offering his unsolicited rendition of Elvis doing Can't Help Falling In Love.

Well, the price is starting to move up. I imagine it will probably go for $800+

EDIT: Well I was close it sold for $710
I really wish I could have taken a shot at this one. :(
