She may be in her eighties, but she's not your average grandma. This jazz record from 1982 shows it's never too late to restart a music career. But is this New York bag lady as glorious as the record title suggests?

1979 interview
1935 recording of "You Can't Tell the Difference After Dark"

Father John Cootes is not a regular Catholic priest, he's a cool priest. This Australian Rugby League playing, furniture chain owning, high diving, plane flying, muscle having man of the cloth wanted to beef up his resume, so he released an album. Obviously.

Who ruins some perfectly good white aran sweaters by laying on some filthy leaf litter? These larrikins, that's who. With a boy band look and a new wave sound, this group had so much potential. So why did we find them in the dollar bin?

The Clancy Brothers, wearing Aran sweaters decades before Haircut 100

These squeaky voiced anthropomorphic rodents have been largely inescapable since the 1960s. How did something so annoying get so popular? And, more importantly, can we get through listening to an entire album of those high pitched voices without flipping the turntable in rage?
Show notes:
David Seville - Don't Whistle at me Baby
1990 drug prevention film special "Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue"

Mark Holden has been most recently "famous" as a judge on Australian Idol and a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. He was also a singer in his youth and released this album in 1977, which is primarily about gettin' it on. Spoiler alert: it's kinda gross.

Touchdown on Australian Idol
His "Dancing with the Stars" performance

This 1965 album boasts one of the most infamous record covers in existance. It's lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous. And the music is...easy listening latin jazz?

This model/singer/TV personality/Dali muse/rock star sex-haver is definitely one of the most interesting people we've discovered on One Dollar Vinyl. But does this 1979 record live up to its striking cover and enigmatic artist?

Marlene Dietrich - Lili Marleen

In the 70s, Demis Roussos made unkempt hair and kaftans sexy. On the cover of this 1973 record, he doubles down and sports a hairy kaftan. If you think that combo doesn't fit with your idea of a big Greek man, just wait until you hear his voice.

James Last is one of the most prolific artists ever, with more than 190 records released. In this 1974 record, he is very clear with his intentions. He wants you to dance. And never stop.

Slim Whitman is known for his yodelling style and some cringey informercials in the 80s. In this 1980 record, he resembles the lovechild of an evil cowboy and Liberace. It's a strong look, but is it a strong album?

You may know John Laws as a radio personality - The Man With The Golden Tonsils. But did you know he also released several albums? This 1971 album is all about truckin'. Check out the show notes at http://www.onedollarvinyl.com/john-laws-motivatin-man/

Get the idea of your mum doing a straight-armed wiggle out of your head. Because these ladies are the different kind of mothers. Motherf**kers that have no problem putting men in their place.

This 1981 record took a 1977 children's book about rainbow eating goblins and made it into an instrumental concept album. Why? Honestly, we have no idea.

Join us as we let actual human, not small flying mammal, Bat McGrath serenade us with tales of getting drunk in a small town. 1978 was a different time, so we'll let you decide how much you want to forgive some questionable references to cracking on to a 15 year old.

What's the best way to find potential band members? If Manhattan Transfer are to be believed, the answer is: by driving a taxi around New York city. This 1976 album might prompt you to start talking to your Uber driver, at the very least.
Show notes:
The Manhattan Transfer on "Home Improvement"
Alan Paul in "Hey Arnold"
