Apparently Will Ferrell comedies are as big across the pond as they are here in the States, because Ron Burgundy inspired Brit rockers the Kaiser Chiefs to record an entire album in his honor. Head Chief Ricky Wilson explains that, holed up in the studio one night with some time to burn, the band recorded 45-minutes of randomness from off the top of their heads, much like Burgundy spouts any inappropriate thing that comes to mind in Anchorman. But upon second thought, the band found the results too sloppy to unleash on the listening public. (Appropriately enough, the album was to be entitled Bad.)
Anybody else think this might make for a fun listen if under the influence of the right substances? C'mon Chiefs, don't be such stuffy Englishmen. Give us some jazz flute! AQUALUNG!!!
