Norton Canes




Terry Torpid

Bloke from The Animals for me. I'd heard House of the Rising Sun a load of times before I saw the video. I had assumed he was some grizzled old dude, not someone who looked like 16 year old Stewart Lee with a moptop.


bobloblaw

Not sure I could picture Kurt Wagner's falsetto coming from that grey-haired old bloke in a cap

Jay Kay. I had the first couple of Jamiroquai CDs but was surprised to discover that he didn't look like young Stevie Wonder.

There was that guy in Gomez who looked like a spotty student but sounded like a grizzled delta bluesman.

Kankurette

He looks more like he sounds now, he's gained weight and grown a beard.

The modern equivalent is Louis Berry, a young Scouser who looks like Ross Barkley but sounds like a grizzled old black bluesman.

Keebleman

Axl Rose.  And when you hear him speak his singing voice seems even weirder. 

Helen Shapiro.


The Late Satoru Iwata

Not looks based but I'm often amused by the range discrepancy between Matt Berry's acting voice and his singing voice.

Pink Gregory

reckon Robert Wyatt's voice could only sound like it does because he looks like St Nicholas thawed from a glacier

Russ L

Apologies for the Joolzpostin' (although it's fantastic if you can ignore him), but when the trumpet-playing big Mexican stoner fella sings (try 1:50 for a clear look at him):


Chicory

Jackson K Pollock

Quote from: Jackson K Pollock on January 10, 2024, 02:34:53 PMNever heard of him.
He's the one that does the riding shotgun song that's a flimsily disguised cover of Forget You.

The Mollusk



Not a singer but I was quite taken aback when meeting grizzled woodsman Dylan Carlson after seeing Earth perform that he has the voice of a weedy teenager.

Kankurette

You know that 'hello, we're Slayer' joke? Kat Bjelland is the female equivalent. Tiny woman, squeaky little speaking voice...and then it's YEEEEEWWWW FUCKIN BITCH I HOPE YOUR INSIDES RAAWT

Expand? To me he both looks and sounds like a braying English tit.
