Still, though - somewhat traumatizing. The video would have been a lot more ok without him in it, because cutting back and forth from him to the shots of people and the "storyline" was distracting.

a. he should have sucked on a cough drop before doing this one. Lemmy's "I'm singing upside down to make my voice sound like your grandmother's" could have sounded smoother than Dee's was in certain points. It's like Dee recorded everything once once afternoon, afterward smoked two too many packs of cigarettes across the night, then recorded everything over again the next morning without even downing a cup of coffee to wash off the vocal cords -- and bits and pieces from the pre-smoke and post-smoke got intermingled randomly.
b. while singing slightly behind the beat then catching up right at the end of musical phrases is perfectly normal in many genres, singing ahead of the beat makes it sound like the singer is racing ... and a total rhythmic nincompoop...
