Guilty Pleasures (Lazlo Bane album)
Guilty Pleasures is a 2007 album by the band Lazlo Bane, consisting entirely of cover versions of various hits from the 1970s. Unlike the band's previous album, "Back Sides", which was released only digitally through online music stores, "Guilty Pleasures" was released both on CD and digital download formats. It is also the first and only Lazlo Bane album where every member of the band sings lead vocals on at least one song. Overview. The project was first announced through the band's Myspace blog in January 2007 with the first song mentioned being  Stuck in the Middle with You. The band ended up with the album containing 20 songs, almost all of which were originally released in the 1970s, except "I Love You" by Climax Blues Band, which was released on the album "Flying the Flag" and also as a single in 1980. The titles of several songs were changed from their original ones. The first song, listed as "Get Right Back", is actually titled "Right Back Where We Started From". The fifth song, listed as "Lime in the Coconut", is simply titled "Coconut". The sixth song, listed as "Alone Again", is actually  titled "Alone Again (Naturally)". The eleventh song "The Things We Do for Love" is listed as "Things We Do for Love". The album features a number of guest musicians, including frequent Chad Fischer's collaborator Larry Goldings and the band Cleto and the Cletones, among others. Cover artwork. The front cover of the album features four characters of the Funny Face Drink Mix, a popular late '60s and '70s powdered drink mix. The characters from left to right are: Rootin' Tootin' Raspberry, Goofy Grape, Jolly Olly Orange and Choo Choo Cherry. Promotion. Before the release of the album, the band  revealed several upcoming songs through their Myspace blog. They included "Stuck in the Middle with You", "Lonely Boy" and "Baby Come Back". The band also released a video advertisement and a music video for the cover of 10cc's "I'm Not in Love". In summer of 2007, the band went on tour in support of "Guilty Pleasures", opening for Colin Hay on several dates. A small video productions company, Clay Cow Productions, made two music videos for the songs "Lonely Boy" and "Alone Again". The latter was made after the request by Chad Fischer, who was impressed by Clay  Cow's previous work, and was featured in Lazlo Bane's Myspace blog. Uses in other media. "Mama Told Me Not to Come" was featured in the film "Bonneville" and on the film's soundtrack. Though the film premiered in 2006, the soundtrack was released only in 2008, after the release of "Guilty Pleasures". "Stuck in the Middle with You" was featured in the 2014 film "Let's Be Cops". The song was included on the soundtrack album for the film which was released on 9 December 2014.
