I can't think of another two off the top of my head but can we please please please get rid of every copy/memory/poster/shred of existence of Nic Cage's remake of The Wicker Man.....that film is just awful!

That Dad's Army suggestion was great idea...it does seem like a genuine War time Song to rouse the people of good old Blighty!



I can't believe you didn't mention Bob Roberts, poor old Tim Robbins wrote all the songs with his brother David...never mind!

Ok, its a late entry but I'de like to nominate the comedy genius that is Cannibal The Musical. Theres too many great songs to suggest a clear leader but I would like to single out "Its A Shpadoinkle Day", not only does it feel like a genuine number in a straight faced musical but it also invents a new word.



It really is a Shpadoinkle musical!

The Nick Cave cover of Bedazzled is nice but I still like the original better. If only because Cave changed the best lyric, "You fill me with inertia," to, "You make me sick".



Unacceptable!

Another good one for you Mark



Buffy The Vampire Slayer : Once More With Feeling



Joss Whedon wrote songs for his masterpiece Cult TV Series in which Buffy and his Friends are stuck facing a demon with the power to start cliche musical songs and make the cast sing and dance. Mark you mentioned before you had seen certain Buffy Episodes, well this is one other you must check out.

Not easy... keeping it down to three. I would have to go for the woefully inept Lesbian Vampire Killers, the rancid movie that is 'The Crew' and all Nick Love movies. hm all British. well look at that

Got to agree on the cover of Bedazzled. Huge fan of Nick Cave (and Anita Lane, with whom he duets on the track), but this was by no means his best work. Not even his best cover, given that his version of Mack The Knife was so good - not to mention his cover of Disco 2000... :-P

Yes, 'My Lovely Horse' is a masterpiece from the single funniest show of all time, 'FATHER TED'.

@mcghee85



I haven't seen the whole film but the bits I have seen make it look great, in a 'so atrocious it's good way'. It's hard to believe they were making it as a serious remake.



Check out this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_mW8mBzmHo

((Has anyone mentioned this one?)) One of the GREATEST songs in television history must be "Grooving the bag mama" from Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's show 'Not Only... But Also'. Here are the lyrics:

Mama's got a brand new bag, yeah (*2)

She's gonna groove it the whole night long, baby

We're gonna groove it the whole night long baby

We're gonna work it out baby

We're gonna shake it tonght, yeah

Stretch out now, yeah

I hear you talkin'

I hear you talkin' there, baby

Yeah oohh

Well, you turn me on baby

You're burning up now baby



The whole explenation of the lyrics by Dudley Moore/Bo Dudley makes it ever funnier...

On the subject of 'My Lovely Horse' I have a couple of things to ask, firstly which version of the song is your favourite? I'd have to go with the first performance myself, (can I suggest Dr K that you take a similar approach to reviewing films? Except that you shoot the projector/ screen ). Comedy gold. Also from the same Episode the song sung by Father Bern and Cyril is the ultimate pop-song.



Re: Dad's Army, I've certainly learnt something new today!

I think someone needs to teach Dr K what the phrase 'and finally' means, as I'm sure he shouldn't be using it three times in one clip.



And the music that's just occured to me that I should have mentioned last time: the entire soundtrack of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Brilliant songs.

i know its late to comment about songs but another song from the 'that thing you do' OST is.....all my only dreams which is a brilliant song



also the song 'gran torino' from the film 'gran torino' sung by clint himself

have anybody mentioned the genius of the "Wild in the Streets"? I've watched it a couple times lately, brilliant, great mid 60s psychedelic/garage rock classics such as... "The Shape Of Things To Come" (which actually became a top 30 hit in the USA) and "Fourteen Or Fight".

How about the crazy villagers in Kurosawa's The Lower Depths?

Small and late entry. Mike Myers' performance poetry in So I Married an Axe Murderer. So hideous that I can almost hear poems of similar quality being performed at a café around the corner:



"Woman. Wo-man. Woooohhh-man!

She was a thief

You gotta belief

She stole my heart and my cat.

Betty, Judy, Josie and those hot Pussycats!

They make me horny,

Saturday-morny.

Girls of cartoons

Will leave me in ruins,

I want to be Betty's Barney.

Hey Jane, get me off this crazy thing... called love."

I always thought Clive Dunn sang "Who do you think..."



I'm going to check the credits carefully next time it's repeated!

Hurts to be obvious but surely "School of Rock" needs a mention here? I'd have bought "You're Not Hardcore" if it had been released, but it's not even on the soundtrack!

And Father Ted is a classic choice... not sure about that sax solo, though? ;D



P.S. I would recommend checking out the out-takes on the extra features on the Spinal Tap DVD - you'll find an extended version of "All The Way Home" on there... classic.

Oh, I forgot to add this - The Rutles - Cheese and Onion (Yellow Submarine Sandwich)

Look back at some of The Simpsons offerings.......Hilarious on times.... one of my faves is the Stonecutters song. But there are so many others....:-)



All: Who controls the British crown?

Who keeps the metric system down?

We do! We do!



Karl: Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?

Lenny: Who keeps the Martians under wraps?

Alien: We do! We do!



All: Who holds back the electric car?

Who makes Steve Gutenberg a star?

We do! We do!



Skinner: Who robs cavefish of their sight?

Homer: Who rigs every Oscar night?

All: We do! We do!

How about feel my heat from Boogie Nights with good old Marky Mark singing. It would have gone Platinum if they could only afford the tape.

at the end of Before Sunset, the sequel to Before Sunrise, Julie Delpy's charachter sings a song called "Let me Sing You a Waltz" that was very pretty and, indeed was put on her solo album.

Can't believe that no one has mentioned ' This is Spinal Tap' Original songs spanning three 'decades' by the 'Thames men' the 'Lovely Lads' and of course good old Spinal Tap themselves.

I know this is a bit out of context but REVIEW INCEPTION!!!

@Creature:

Dr K. reviewed Inception on Friday 16th - get the Podcast!

On the out of context note, is there a review of The Last Airbender coming any time in the future? I'd like to hear what Kermode has to say about the arc M. Night Shymalan's career has taken in general, actually.



P.S. to Dr. Kermode: I finally located a copy of Andrzej Zulawski's Possession, watched it for the first time a couple of days ago, kind of fell in love with it and will proceed to alienate friends and family by being obnoxiously enthusiastic and forcing surprise viewings on anybody who dares step foot in my house. I'd never even heard of the film in passing before now which seems kind of insane, it's definitely one of the best and most unique films I've ever seen.



That's all really, just thanks for such an amazing tip. Absolutely loved it. (I'm not as enthusiastic about Nolan, but whatevs.)

Lesbian seagull was actually realized as a single well kind of it was a b side for the Red hot chilli peppers tune roller coaster

A bit late but ... I Must Be In Love by The Rutles. Although in some ways it is too good and just sounds like a minor Fab Four album track.

Not sure how many saw it, but I thought the music in 'Eddie and the Cruisers' was good enough to be released (In fact I bought the Soundtrack!).

The band jamming 'On the Darkside' still gives me goosebumps.



I always preferred 'Love Comes and Goes' from Almost Famous.

If anybody's interested, Bongwater (featuring actress Ann Magnuson on vocals) included an excellent cover of "Bedazzled" on their absolutely brilliant 1990 album "The Power Of Pussy". Highly recommended.
