“Formed from the depths of musical boredom during the pandemic, There I Ruined It is the personal project of musician Dustin Ballard. With the simple goal of ruining as many beloved songs as possible before it’s banned from the Internet, There I Ruined It has left a wake of confusion and disgust among those with musical taste, inexplicably earning millions of followers along the way.”

“Working in a small office before the bands’ ascent to stardom, lead singer Kip Pink would base their biggest hit on reality after starting a torrid love affair with an HR assistant. “It was destined to burn out,” Pink said of his first marriage. “We were so young and headstrong. I was out on the road, and she wanted to spend all her time in the army surplus store. She kept asking them to sell her a flamethrower. They kept tellin’ her it ain’t legal but she wouldn’t listen. It became a bit of an obsession.” When asked if the split was amicable, Pink sighed and said, “When she found out I’d mailed the divorce papers, she tried to burn the local post office down.” He then went on to state that some crushes are best left to the imagination.”

There’s some rather smutty ‘early vinyl’ creations on YouTube too, but here’s a clean living one .
Nice one @hubert rawlinson.
That Almost Vinyl Channel is another treasure chest featuring an enormous amount of creativity.
The Notes for Linda’s Gone Crazy att the Bake Off are stupendous,
Another hit from Almost Vinyl.
