FOUND: Charlie Weis’ audition tape for The Three Tenors

Anytime someone climbs up to the announcer’s box at a Cubbies game for an opportunity to lead the home crowd in “Take Me Out To The Ballgame,” it’s usually going to end with cats screeching and dogs howling. After all, when is the last time you were watching WGN and saw a rendition that made you stand and applaud? Never, that’s when. So, as expected, when Charlie Weis hoisted himself up to the skybox, he proved he’s tone deaf and we got a kick out of it.

That was pretty bad, but don’t worry, Ozzy, you’re still the man.

Ron Zook is tone deaf

If there is such thing as a good rendition of “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” then we’ve never heard it. You could stick anyone from Ashlee Simpson to Frank Sinatra behind the microphone and it would still sound like crap. Needless to say, if you throw someone like Ron Zook behind the mic then you’re really in trouble.

Tony Romo chokes under pressure once again

Tony Romo joined the ever-growing list of Chicago’s infamous vocal villains when he attempted to sing “Take Me Out To the Ball Game” at a Cubs game. Fortunately, for the eardrums of those in attendance, unlike Ozzy Osborne, Eddie Vedder and William Hung (not in Chicago, but still equally gut-wrenching), Romo pretty much gave up after “Take me out to the crowd.”

Wonder if maybe the choke job had something to do with his warm reception from the Cubbies faithful. Considering he’s dating Jessica Simpson, you’d figure her kid sister would have given him some pointers about performing in front of a brutally honest crowd. Remember the Orange Bowl?

"Isiah Thomas has just signed Gus Johnson to a 4 album, 8 million dollar deal"

When we first came across this clip of Gus Johnson showing off his vocal stylings, we closed our eyes and could have sworn it was Carlton Banks letting rip. But once we opened them and realized it wasn’t a lip synching performance, we were taken back by the high octaves he could reach. Surely, somewhere there was a dog howling and an American Idol judge making a comment about his singing being just a bit too pitchy (dawg).

We thought those notes were reserved for Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera, but it’s amazing how the body will react to watching the Knicks play. For us, it results in dry heaves and cold sweats, but to each is own.

Another horrible rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"

George Thorogood just gave “Bad to the Bone” a whole new meaning when he took Cubbies fans out to “the old ba-ba-ba-ba-ball game.”

Okay, so Thorogood wasn’t completely horrid; it could have been a whole lot worse. He could have gone Eddie Vedder on us.

“Buy me some peanuts and crack”??????
