Joe Pesci Vincent Laguardia jumbini; Sings Just for You

Why? Why, Joe, why? Back in the sixties, I think it was, Joes Pesci put out an album called This kid can sing, or something like that. Of course it flopped, and he’s embarrassed by it now. So why did he put out this one? I

I think he feels pro- tected by the fact that this CD is supposed to be songs put out by his character form the movie MpeCousin Vinny Good disguise, Joe. Awig and a bad red and pink suit. Never would have recognized you.

There’s a few humourous tracks, like Take your love and shove it.

after listening to that new Joe Peshi CD. And besides, no- body can call Pras “Potty- mouth Pras” now. The disc good on the whole,

was on really weak tunes, but no — stong ones except fo the few I mentioned above.
