1998"Excuses for Bad Behavior (Part One)" is an album released by singer/comedienne/actress
Sandra Bernhard . The album is a combination of spoken comedy bits, comedic songs, and pop/rock music.Co-written and co-produced by Bernhard's longtime collaborator Mitch Kaplan, the album features Bernhard singing originals and standards re-interpreted with a new sound. Disco classic "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" begins with an operatic solo and is then translated to a modern dance song. "Manic Superstar" combines the song "Close Your Eyes" from the musical "
Jesus Christ Superstar " and the song "Manic Depression" byJimi Hendrix . "Sympathy For the Devil" by theRolling Stones becomes a seductive siren's song.Comedic bits include the spoken word "The Letter" in which Bernhard reads a fictional letter from a lesbian fan who has "heard" the album in question. "Jesus Christ, why is she singing?" "Christmas" is a heartwarming story of holidays past told by a Jewish woman who never actually experienced them. Other songs have a comedic edge, such as "Prophecies," a spoof on 1-900 psychic hotlines.
The album was released on a smaller independent label and did moderately well, but is currently unavailable for mainstream purchase. Plans for a special 2-disc re-release version (made exclusively available on Bernhard's website) have been posted there for over a year, but no product has been offered yet.
