	Bad Rapping Of The Marquis De Sade Used - Vinyl - WPS-21889 1969 Original. Lord Buckley was a singular figure in American performance and counterculture, renowned for blending jazz, satire, and spoken word in a persona equal parts standup comedian, beat poet, and philosopher. With a distinctively aristocratic stage presence and cadence, Buckley reimagined historical and literary icons—like Jesus, Gandhi, and the Marquis De Sade—through a hip, streetwise, and often surreal lens. His work anticipated the rhythms of the Beat Generation and prefigured the wordplay of later spoken-word artists, making him a cult legend among jazz enthusiasts, comedy historians, and fans of avant-garde performance. Buckley’s performances were celebrated for their improvisational brilliance, his inventive “hipsemantic” language, and their uniquely inclusive, boundary-crossing wit. Bad Rapping of the Marquis De Sade, one of Buckley’s most famous and controversial recordings, showcases his irreverent genius at full tilt. In this piece, Buckley transforms the notorious French libertine into a jive-talking antihero, using witty, rhythmic monologue and rapid-fire slang to both lampoon and humanize his subject. The record fuses elements of jazz, parody, and social commentary, offering a satirical critique of power, morality, and convention in mid-20th-century America. “Bad Rapping of the Marquis De Sade” remains a landmark in spoken word and comedy, frequently cited for its audacious style and influence on subsequent generations of performers from Lenny Bruce to George Carlin. more
