Have you ever listened to any actor turned musician's music, and if you have, what did you think of it?

Rick Springfield – Jesse’s Girl
William Shatner – whatever the hell album he has.

Same as you really, Scarlett Johansson’s stuff is the only actor-musician music I’ve listened to that I can think of at the moment. I love her as an actress so I figured I’d give it a shot, and I actually do like her music. She has a very interesting voice.

@eponymoushipster William Shatner has an album?? Yikes, it must be awful…

Uhm, hit and miss. he sings “Common People” the Pulp song, that’s ok. He also did Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.

it’s pretty much William Shatner.

Eddie Murphy He knows how to Party all the time.

@jonsblond—- eek! I’ll have that one stuck in my head, forever!

@jonsblond i forgot that one!! nice catch.

The song is stuck in my head now. I won’t get any sleep tonight!

Macho Man Randy Savage! He has a rap album. It’s amazing. Proffesional wrestling is acting in my opinion. Also, Joaquin Pheonix started rapping. But it was pretty indecipherable.

what was the name of Don Johnson’s song?

oh btw, Leonard Nimoy had an album too

@eponymoushipster
“heartbeat”

@purephase dude, you’re gold!

I managed a record shop for a while. I know some dumb shit.

What about Bruce Willis? I forget what he did…thankfully.

He’s got a band, i dunno if they’ve ever hit the charts.
they used to play Planet Hollywood openings if that tells you anything.

isn’t he a part owner of Planet Hollywood?

Juana Molina. Awesome!

@cak
I think it’s called “Bruno” or somthing with Bruno in it.

@purephase – thanks! It’s always good to know I haven’t completely lost it!!

@purephase sounds right…

Jared Leto is in 30 Seconds to Mars… I hate them.
I’m super stoked about Jaquin Phoenix’s new career as a rapper… ~

Didn’t William Shatner kind of… talk… through his… album?
With the trademark Shatner pauses and all?

yeah, but it still rocked.

i like Jason Schwartzman’s band “Coconut Records” an awful lot.

@seenmaker
He used to be in Phantom Planet, too. Not a fan of them, however.

Let’s not forget the Hoff’s classic, Jump in my Car. The video is the best bad thing ever made.

@Likeradar is correct that Jared Leto is in 30 seconds to mars…unlike @Likeradar though, I love them!! Sometimes when i’m out at parties “rumor” by Lindsay Lohan happens. That shit is awful but still damn catchy.

Paris Hilton had a CD too… although I wouldn’t classify her as an actor. Or a musician.

zooey deschanel’s music is incredible. if you haven’t listened to she & him yet, i recommend you do so. right. now.

@tiffyandthewall AGREED AGREED AGREED!

I avoid listening to any music performed by a former or current actor. Although I must admit to being sucked in by this; that Starsky (or was he Hutch) can really belt out a tune.

Tiffyandthewall beat me to it.
Zooey Deschanel is great in She & Him.
She also does a lot of collaborations with other bands.

BLUES BROTHERS ‘nuff said
