I don't know what the i word means, tho it's seems to be an appropos adjective

It is so bad, that it's sorta good, kinduv like the Barry Manlo satire, and/or when Bryan did a similar song at the high school reunion and somebody here asked for a link and/or the title

Was Griffin's solo a mocking "tenor" or what ?

I'm so old that I can't even recall the decade it's from, because after 1970, I mostly ignored the pop music, excepting of course that semi hilarious Casey Kassem embarrassing excerpt (was it fake?) & such as (BYE BYE MS AM PIE circa 1960s type of) novelty stuff, tho i've seen in person Willy Nelson, Peebo Bryson, and also actually went to a rainy outdoor Elton John concert pushing Diet Coke

If there isn't now an available "Griffin family version," please link me to the original (if available) or an acessible (free) imitation thereof

"Abbreviate" means "just use letters instead". Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you.

The Griffin song-singing is so bad that it's actually good. <that's known as a "cliche"> And here's how it worked for me.

Peter <playing to that professional's video camera on the hood, tho we don't realize this then> starts out and (me as) an audience initially think it rather putrid. Nevetheless, Peter hangs-in, and the family also joins-in harmoniously which is certainly unusual for them. A joke is there inherently, while the Griffin singers version of a past top pop song deserves (my) repeat playing. Thus my request for link. Because I don't know the title nor the original artist nor era/decade-- it was just another song that I probably heard flipping through a radio for less boring NPR w/o commercials or a less boring Garrisson Keillor with fake commercials

Given the qualification/explanation,"insipid" slightly fits

Now in contrast, take the Edmund Hawkins Singers of Chicago: The famous choir takes a traditional religious hymn, and makes a memorable, enjoyable presentation out of it. That's what they do, their trademark. I wouldn't describe their entertainment as initially a lame situation nor joke.

The song is "The Rose". It was featured in the movie of the same name and was written by Amanda McBroom. It was a hit for Bette Midler in 1979. The single reached #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the adult contemporary chart, and it was certified as a gold single by the RIAA.

Well, they have apparently blocked-out THE ROSE from free access, which is okay because I don't listen to music much. If any body does know of a complimentary legal link, then post it here

WIKI has a write-up of last Sunday's rip-off or version of HOME ALONE and points-out various movie allusions which I didn't get, and especially the one with Alfred Hitchcock on bus when Cary Grant ...

WIKI also has several article about Bette to skim quickly thru
