Les Pizzicato 5
Despite the name this group wasn't French it was Japanese. P5, as they are known to their legion of devoted fans, were the godfathers of the Japanese kitsch-pop deconstructionist scene. Lester Bilbo has no idea what that means. All Lester Bilbo knows, or cares, is that P5 were Tokyo's coolest hipsters. Lester Bilbo fancies himself to be a cool hipster, so you see the connection. And I think Lester Bilbo has a crush on Miss Nomiya Maki. P5 were incredibly prolific. A quick search will yield dozens of videos and televison clips. Here are a few:

Tommy Seebach: Apache
Lester Bilbo loves bad videos. He loves the bad videos more than the good ones. Therefore he positively adores this Danish video from 1977. Set outdoors, it features bad dancing, worse clothes and hairstyles, meaningless and pretentious lyrics, electric instruments being played without visible power sources and it manages to degrade both women and native Indians at the same time. It's got everything Lester Bilbo loves.

Lester Bilbo Does Dildo
Captain Dildo welcomes Lester Bilbo. Dildo is a charming little town about an hour from St. John's. It is considered the mark of a true Newfoundlander if he can say the town's name without a childish smirk. Childishly smirking tourists steal the road signs all the time.

Update: Bananaphone
You can't have too much bananaphone. Well .... actually you can. This is Raffi's version + a baseball bat.

Ringringring Bananaphone
A dancing banana sings an insanely catchy tune. There is a hidden easter egg here. Click on the banana and you'll get more weirdness.

Ravin' Mavin
A wonderful tribute to the great movie stars of the 30s and 40s. Can there be a greater fan of Ronald Colman that Lester Bilbo? Colman was fabulous as Conway in 1937's 'Lost Horizon.' You will find stills, audio clips, biographies and more about Colman and about a dozen others.

The World's Worst Food
Lester Bilbo tells me that the bacon and fruit casserole is his favorite. He also suggests you try the link to 'The Gallery of Regrettable Food,' and its 'Cookin' With Dr. Pepper.' Beware anything that has an apostrophe instead of a final letter.
