Public Access Superstar

Only on the Just Two Guys blog will you get a post about Abraham Lincoln followed immediately by a post about Sondra Prill. Dubbed the "Queen of Tampa Public Access," Sondra shocked and delighted audiences in the Tampa area in the early 90s with her music video adaptations of popular songs. We could only wish to have someone as bizarre and truly awesome as Sondra Prill on our local access station. Yes, she sings off-key. Yes, she shouts through most of her songs. Yes, the hair. The fur. There is something beyond these bizarre surface features, though, that make Sondra Prill a truly frightening creature. The result is both bizarre and dazzling. To get you started, you should watch her video for Nasty Boys, the popular Janet Jackson song from the late 80s.



You can watch Pump Up the Jam, where Sondra wears a huge fur coat on the beach while she sings the Technotronic jam and kicks dust on people trying to read. Like Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love?" You won't after you watch Sondra Prill's horrible version of this 80's pop staple.
