Hear Al Swearengen Sing Your Favorite '80s Hits

Before he was winning awards for his portrayal of foul-mouthed saloon owner Al Swearengen on Deadwood, Ian McShane was just another middling English actor who had once put out an album of '80s power ballads.

Look, I know you're wondering how this could possibly go wrong, but don't expect much here. From the Cars' 1984 hit " Drive" to the Police's iconic "Every Breath You Take" (above), McShane truly nails that stilted, emotion-less kind of karaoke vibe you'd expect from an untrained pop singer.
