   Dear God. You and me both. My mother loves Henry Rollins and would flip her shit if such a thing exists.

   "The band had also recorded a track for a one-hit wonders compilation. What else but the Lipps, Inc. song Funkytown? Right. Better. It's a duet with RuPaul! I think the project was for Elektra Records. Oddly enough, someone in the chain found this to be inappropriate and unfunny and has more or less nixed the release. Frankly, I know this deserves to be heard and I'll try and see what I can find out."-http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:8tDaCFWyJ6AJ:www.ipass.net/jthrush/rollband.htm+rupaul+rollins&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=us&client=firefox-a

   Unfortunately, you need to go through a useless flash interface for a 10s clip.

   Click on "Sounds", then "Ru Paul & Henry Rollins". Enjoy.

     That's a little disappointing.

   From Minneapolis' City Pages in March of 1996:

   Said track will be available on Wonderama, a forthcoming Elektra Records compilation of one-hit-wonder cover versions, due in June. Apparently, the cover contains titillating mid-song banter between the boys, with chaste Hankie exclaiming, "Wrap your long legs around my fine frame," while the ever-fabulous Ru goes on about his "pussy-cat wig" as the two whiz off together on Hank's bike to their funky destination.

   Upon further seraches related to "Wondrama" I came across some interesting info. Apparently the record also has Moby doing a cover of Devo's "Whip It" and it's listed as a "death metal version(?!)" as well as Ben Folds Five covering "Video Killed the Radio Star." Creepy.

   All other info I found on the album indicated it was shelved before any pressings were produced. A few of the artists involved seemed to use the songs for b-sides on singles after the project fell through. Doesn't seem to be the case with the Rollins Band, though.

   Hah.

   Am I the only one who read that as "Ron Paul" at first?
