The Big Bopper is probably best known for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tcygOGHsWY But this thread isn't about that -- it's about his face. I think he has a face that doesn't really exist anymore but was extremely common at the time. My grandpa had a face like that and I'm willing to bet yours did too. What happened to that face?

I mean he looks so much like Dan Aykroyd in that picture that Aykroyd clearly should have played him in some version of Buddy Holly or Richie Valens' biopics (because we all know Big Bopper is not getting his own). Though to be fair Aykroyd is also pretty old so maybe that face is indeed gone

Sean Aston should play the big bopper in the biopic where they retcon him as a very flamboyant gay man.

"Bopper" is slang for "fighter" as in to "bop" someone in the face with your punchin' hand. "Big Bopper" is basically equal to "Bobby Shmurda" in 1950s slang.

It was Stephen Lee, best known as "fat cop who gets butterflied like a mignon" in Robocop 2. Honestly, that's an ok choice.

You think that's hosed up? You ever really look at Ritchie Valens? Like, googled his rear end to find out that the Lou Diamond Phillips biopic not only invented his starcrossed love with Whitegirl Donna out of nothing, but also cast someone that looked absolutely nothing like him? BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE THIS

There’s some old MST3K movie that’s like one of those beach party/monster movies and the male lead is some wannabe singer dude that has the most “1950s face” imaginable, god I wish I could remember which movie that was

Cubone posted:the out-of-tune guitar just kills me It's so awful. That's got to be due to a bad digital recording from the vinyl. A warped record or just a lovely record player. Although with lyrics like "my mom was Humpty Dumpty, my dad was Dracula," maybe the original really was that out of tune and the recording engineer was just "gently caress it, whatever, sounds great."

A warped record or just a lovely record player. the out of tune guitar is just my favorite part because it makes the whole thing sound slightly demented, in the same way the lyrics are just a slightly more demented version of the kind of songs it's parodying ("ooh baby" -> "ooh toddler", nonsensical 1950's courting talk -> "I'm yelling at you! I am the big weird man!") that said, it is not surprising at all that people accept it as a real big bopper song
