STAGE DOOR CANTEEN is on now, but I won't be able to watch that.

PAGE SIX DANCE:

The Frug

Tomovoz · « **Reply #152 on:** January 07, 2006, 11:31:22 PM »

Sort of a Tadpole on the carpet dance I guess.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #153 on:** January 07, 2006, 11:35:11 PM »

It took me a moment to catch up to that, Tom!

Tomovoz · « **Reply #154 on:** January 07, 2006, 11:38:17 PM »

At least I didn't say the Frug spawned a few other dances that covered the floor!

This is one of the three movies that I bought last week at a local dollar store (for only $1, of course) and it looks pretty good! The sound wasn't bad, either.

Yes I know I need a holiday!

If you like celeb cameos, George, this movie is chock full.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #158 on:** January 07, 2006, 11:43:48 PM »

Where does that phrase come from anyway, "chock full"?

As in, Chock-full-o-nuts, the heavenly coffee.

I'm back, I'm back. Must eat a salad right now, and then I shall write the notes, which will hopefully be up by 12:30 or so.

I always used to think it was chuck full.

Speaking of holidays, which bring to mind the song "Holiday" by the Bee Gees, I heard a song in the store today that I immediately recognized as a Gibb composition, but something new. And TPunk informed me Barry was working with Babs again, and I realized the song was the fruit of that labor.

Well, I think the Gibbs are incredible songwriters, but this song sounded too close to their song "Too Much Heaven".

BK's back!
In fact, they say you can't spell "back" without BK!

I have that new CD. It's not too bad. It has more up-tempo songs than some of her other recent CDs and not as many ballads, which makes it a little more interesting. I love her voice but not when she sings nothing but ballads. She needs to mix it up more...and continue to do so.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #164 on:** January 07, 2006, 11:50:24 PM »

Ethel Merman is now singing "Marching Through Berlin". (Not the Gibbs' version.)

WWII propaganda musicals aren't really my cup o' tea, truth be known.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #165 on:** January 07, 2006, 11:51:39 PM »

Yes, I thought she had a good rock voice, like on "Stoney End" that she didn't use enough.

THE RIFLEMAN, now that was Chuck Full.
Chuck Connors!

STAGE DOOR CANTEEN, I just checked to find, is also in the 50 movie musicals pack that I have yet to open

Babs sings a song written for Andy Gibb on her new album.

Count me out of the Gibb fan club.. Great melodies - horrific lyrics!! (Especially those by Robin). Rare to find more than monosyllabic words!

And from the "It's About Freakin' Time" news, it looks like it's official! The CD of the original Broadway cast recording of Baker Street with Fritz Weaver and Inga Swenson is going to be released on January 31!! Here's the picture from amazon.com's listing:

According to THIS link, there are two bonus tracks: "Married Man," performed by Richard Burton and "Baker Street Mystery," performed by the Kai Winding Orchestra.

I agree Tomovoz, that the melodies are the name of the game as far as those guys go. I mean, I think "Night Fever" is an incredible song, but I have NO IDEA what the lyrics even are. On there earlier more understandable songs, the lyrics range from inscrutable to laughable. "I Started A Joke" springs to mind. But for sheer volume of melodies, those guys were unbelievable.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #172 on:** January 08, 2006, 12:06:26 AM »

Cool cover.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #173 on:** January 08, 2006, 12:09:40 AM »

"I Started A Joke" is indeed my least favourite Bee Gees track. "Saved By the Bell" isn't much better. then you have lovely melodies like "words" and "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart".

I've always prefered the songs Barry wrote for other people -Streisand, Warwick Diana Ross & Kenny Rogers etc.

It is...and seeing it on a large vinyl album is much better than a tiny (even new) CD. The art of album covers is not what it used to be.

DR Elmore will be pleased with the "official" Baker Street Cd release.

George · « **Reply #176 on:** January 08, 2006, 12:17:29 AM »

I can't wait!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #177 on:** January 08, 2006, 12:19:16 AM »

"I Started to Choke". Robin has a really weird voice. Like he has a frug in his throat.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #178 on:** January 08, 2006, 12:23:22 AM »

A different Baker Street...

Tomovoz · « **Reply #179 on:** January 08, 2006, 12:26:53 AM »

Great album Rodzinski.
