Music reviews of Bill Cosby Collection
Music Review: LITTLE KNOWN BILL COSBY GEM BURIED IN THIS SET...; READ ON COSBY LOVERS... :)
Rating: 5 Stars
As has been stated by a previous reviewer, this CD set consists of two Cosby albums, one of which is kind of a throw away, but the other, is a GEM that deserves it's place in the pantheon of Cosby classics.
The album in question is called, "Bill's Best Friend", and I prefer to think of it as Bill's, "Sound Effect", album, as it has the most vocal sound effects done by Bill, per routine, then any other of his albums (with, "Wonderfulness", being a close second).
The fun starts with, "Roland and the Rollercoaster", were, on Bill's 11th birthday, armed only with his cool walk, eyelid-turning-inside-out, soap chip carrying (to put in his mouth, to make people think that he's got, "The Rabies") buddy Roland, and the grand sum of $2 (one dollar for each one, of his 11 years) the Cos' sets out to ride a rollercoaster for the first time, and of course, all manner of silliness ensues (not to mention a plethora of very well done rollercoaster sound effects, done with nothing more then Bill's mouth and a microphone).
Trust me on this one; if you're not laughing yourself silly by at least the middle of this skit, you'll need to check yourself for a pulse... :)
The next big sound effect extravaganzas are, "Cars" and, "Illegal Drugs", with, Cars having the most sound effects per capita, but with, Illegal Drugs having one of the funniest and most complicated, mouth created, sound effect section, ever done.
First Cosby shows you in sound, several sounds associated with a person smoking a joint, then he proceeds to show you in sound, what it would sound like if a bunch of ripped pot smokers, where attempting to share a joint, and all of the ensuing noises that this would entail.
***Now before anyone decides to take offence to Bill doing a routine on pot smoking, let me assure you that this is just Bill's crazy observations on the subject, and in no way glorifies the use of drugs, in fact, it does just the opposite, by showing people just how silly people are, who use them (no Cheech & Chong here, but funny as all get out :)
Cars, on the other hand, is chock full of amazingly done car sounds (done again, with only Bill's mouth and a microphone) and pertains to Cosby's youth, driving around in his friends, crazily designed, hot rods.
The highlight of this set, is his drivers test, where he uses his buddies car, which has a plane engine installed in it (Driving Instructor: "well how do you keep the engine cooled down?" Cosby: "you just gotta keep moving").
Of course, even though I've only highlighted only a few of the tracks on this CD, all of the tracks are side splittingly funny (Bill trying Chinese mustard for the first time, is a riot) and are sure to have you laughing even after repeated listenings.
Enjoy :)
