Yeah he was in a punk band right? I've been a fan forever I just didn't know he had those pipes.

He sang the opening song for the Late Late Show, so we shouldn't be surprised....

Already mentioned in the thread.

Thanks for the links.

I've always enjoyed the theme song, but just seeing him belt out a song on the show was so awesome.

It was fantastic! I wish he had done more singing (and drumming!) during his 10 years.

For more funsies, because I was thinking of it, Craig drumming with Wicked Tinkers:

To me he sounds slightly like a "poor man's" David Bowie. So that was he also singing the lyrics for the opening of the email and Twitter mails?

I don't know what's a sig. line? Can't think of one! Can you tell me what one is?

reply

[–] bgrhu 10 years ago

Yes, that's also Craig doing most of the tweetsmail jingles.

reply

[–] Hands_of_Fate 10 years ago

Maybe I should clarify what I mean here. I realize Craig sings jingles, and the opening theme...I've been watching the show for 7 or 8 years. The song itself was completely unexpected to me mainly because I can't imagine another host doing something like that. Conan is musically minded but it's just different, and it was an interesting choice for a song because it wasn't some lame show tune or a tired golden oldie. Craig seems to have octave range too, on some of the higher notes.
