Another "Worst Musical Number' in a Film

If we say that Sylvester Stalone is the singer - - is that enough? 

In Rhinestone, the 1984 comedy film with musical numbers, Stalone played a New York cabbie (Nick Martinelli). Jake Farris (Played by Dolly Parton) has bet that she can turn any normal guy into a country singer. That's where Sly Stalone came in . . . So check out his performance singing "Drinkenstein."

Other Stalone songs in the movie were "Stay Out of My Bedroom" and "Sweet Lovin Friends" - both tunes sung with Dolly.

Rhinestone the musical had a very short run in theaters and was panned by most critics. Despite being a commercial flop, Dolly Parton gained two top ten country hits with "Tennessee Homesick Blues" and "God Won't Get You."

Lyrics to "Drinkenstein" written by Dolly Parton:

Budweiser you've created a monster

And they call him Drinkenstein

And the tavern down the street is the labba-tor-eye-ee

Where he makes the transformation all the time

And a stein of Dr. Bud is a pint of monster blood

And it does effect me different every time

Budweiser you've created a monster

And they call me Drinkenstein

And they call me Drinkenstein

I'm Drinkenstein

I'm Drinkenstien

(Additional Lyrics)

But he's a good old boy at heart as so many of them are

But when he's drinking, well that's something else again

Well you can sneak on out and leave, or you can sit and just agree

Or you can cross him if you want your face knocked in

'Cause he will hit ya as apt as not

And he can hurt ya, I swear to God

He's Drinkenstein

But every night's a different mood

There is a fun side to him, too

He loves to laugh, he love to joke, and he loves to dance

But watch your girlfriends and your wives

He'll steal 'em right before your eyes

'Cause he's a lover, so don't give him half the chance

'Cause he can do it, don't think he can't

'Cause women like him, 'cause he's strange

He's Drinkenstein

Budweiser you've created a monster 

And they call him Drinkenstein

And the tavern down the street is the labba-tor-eye-ee

Where he makes that transformation all the time

And a stein of Dr. Bud is just a pint of monster blood

And it does effect him different every time

Budweiser you've created a monster

And they call him Drinkenstein

And they call him Drinkenstein

Yeah!

He is foolish, the beer is fine

He's just ghoulish, he's Drinkenstein

Now he will say it if he thinks it

And it will change him if he drinks it

I'm Drinkenstein, you're Drinkenstein

She's Drinkenstein, we're all Drinkenstein

Drinkenstein, Drinkenstein, we're Drinkenstein

Oooooh, yeah!
