Snapshots #442: Head & Face Songs


This is the actor Max Frewer, better known for playing the supposedly computer-generated TV presenter, Max Headroom. What a wonderful world it was when computer generated characters were actually played by real human beings... rather than the other way round. Sigh. Old man needs a lie down.

Here are some songs about different parts of the head and face...
