Off the Charts: The Song-Poem Story

A pretty much pitch-perfect offbeat documentary about a business/art form about which most folks are probably unaware. You'll meet a number of weirdos, from the slightly off to the questionably retarded, who have paid to have their poems hastily turned into songs by bored studio musicians. A must-see for anyone interested in outsider music and art, as well as anyone up for gawking at a freak show.

Fascinating, informative, and often hilarious documentary about a charmingly strange subculture. Worth it just for the origin story of the legendary John Trubee song "Blind Man's Penis"
