Red Peters
- Soundtrack
Hilariously raunchy adult novelty comedy singer, songwriter, and
musician Red Peters was born Peter Peters on July 11, 1950. He stems
from a show business family and hails from the Boston, Massachusetts
area. Red showed musical talent at an early age; he mimicked such
entertainers as Bing Crosby, Ed Sullivan, Louis Armstrong, and Dwight
Eisenhower as a little boy. His family traveled the country doing a
song-and-dance show which featured a dog act. Peters put together the
solo production Show Tunes for Shut-Ins, which was a musical comedy
revue for senior citizens. Red moved from band to band and city to city
before hooking up with band leader Babe Marino and His Orchestra to
record the dirty ditty "Blow Me (You Hardly Know Me)." Peters followed
this song with the equally filthy country swing tune "How's Your Whole
.. Family?" with the Poisonaires. He has recorded songs in such diverse
music genres as art rock/New Wave ("Give Yourself a Handy, You've
Earned It"), British punk ("Teachers in Space"), a capella ("You
Promised the Moon (But I Preferred Uranis)"), and even poignant country
weepers (the heart-wrenching "Ballad of a Dog Named Stains"). Red hosts
the radio program "The Red Peters Comedy Hour." Moreover, Peters has
made guest appearances on "The Howard Stern Show." He recorded his
debut album "I Laughed .. I Cried .. I Fudged My Undies" in 1995. Red
released his second full-length album "Ol' Blue Balls is Back" in 2004.
