Elizabeth and Richard
Elizabeth Taylor has checked out on us after an amazing career that managed to embody the heights of high glamour and the depths of horrifying vulgarity, sometimes all at once. There will be plenty of well-written obituaries and career overviews to come; our job at Ichiban on this sombre occasion is to share with you this tribute to the most famous champions of drunken matrimony and amour fou ever to walk the planet.
John and Marsha - Elizabeth and Richard
Thanks to Rex, hero to morons everywhere, for hipping me to this record some years ago.

Hillbilly Hades
Texas Bill Strength - Hillbilly Hades (3:07)
In 1955, Eddie Dean had the biggest hit of his career with a maudlin effort called I Dreamed Of A Hillbilly Heaven. The song details Dean's dream about about the aftermath of his own death and his experiences of being welcomed into heaven, where he encounters all his favorite deceased country stars. In 1961, Tex Ritter revived it and had a hit with it as well. You can see Tex doing it live over on YouTube. Unfortunately, the embedding feature on the clip has been disabled.
Texas Bill Strength's Hillbilly Hades is a slyly hilarious parody that came out in 1970.
