WISH IT WERE FORGOTTEN MUSIC: MRS. MILLER

Mrs. Elva Miller -- the recording star of the mid-Sixties in the same way that ebola is a minor disease. Some very sick music business genius decided to record her tuneless renderings and I am sure that said genius is now (will soon be) residing in some inner circle of Hell.  Thus did the music scene stumble and falter and modern civilization come to a complete halt.

This is bad, folks.

Here she channels her inner Petula Clark:

And her inner Nancy Sinatra:

Having demolished Nancy, she sets her aim at the old man:

And I think she gave the Beatles nightmares over this:

The Mamas and the Papas could not elude her unique stylizing:

And, finally, she joins Jimmy Durante in mangling his signature song:

Thus are your eardrums destroyed.  I have done my job and exit stage right.
