Too funny. So bad it's worth hearing. I remember John Davidson hosting The Tonight Show in the 80s and singing Tears For Fears Shout. Another so bad it's good moment.
According to discogs, group members included Ruth Buzzi (of Laugh-In), Thurl Ravenscroft (of Frosted Flakes and the Grinch), and Loulie Jean Norman (of Spike Jones In Stereo and Little Feat's mother-in-law).
Sorry, but no. Just NO. "Sunshine pop"? More like a tanning bed. Reminds me of the dreck my dad would play. When he wasn't spinning Muzak-y "light classical"...
Graham Gouldman should issue a cease and desist. Was this a skit from SCTV? You can picture the elderly studio guitar player seated, legs crossed showing off his newly shined Florsheims, reading the notes of the Jeff Beck riff and solo. It must've read "play without soul" at the top of the sheet.

A tanning bed powered by a tired hamster in a wheel, rather than electricity.

I think they stole that arrangement from Lawrence Welk.
