Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from June 26, 2020 Favoriting

Bronwyn Bishop's avatar View Bronwyn Bishop's profile Favoriting

Musical theater from off the beaten path. Obscure and unusual show tunes from within the canon and without, flops, failures, and the newest works from up-and-coming artists—plus tried-and-true hits. Also, occasional appearances from songs that are not show tunes (but only if they go really well with show tunes).

Hi Bronwyn! I have the scratchy old recording of this somewhere.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:04pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

from 1945?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:05pm
Sweet Corn Lizzie:

My parents had a friend name June who was very pregnant just when this song was popular!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:07pm
Webhamster Henry:

That June is suspiciously like the Merry Month Of May.

Show tunes used to be a good source of pop tunery!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:11pm
Webhamster Henry:

Ella Fitzgerald's Mac The Knife is known for her forgetting the lyrics and just scatting while apologizing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:16pm
northguineahills:

Wow, there was even a Satchmo the Great Film. And the music done by Kurt Weil. I feel so ignorant.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:18pm
Sweet Corn Lizzie:

Some Enchanted Evening makes me shiver. The chords, the tune are perfect.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:18pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@Lizzie: Story that tangentially relates to that: The main character's name is Julie and she gets pregnant as a main part of the plot, and when 15-year-old Stephen Sondheim, quasi-adopted son of the Hammerstein family, went to see the show's premiere, he was amazed by the audacity of Rodgers and Hammerstein having the whole chorus sing "Julie's busting out all over!"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:19pm
Sweet Corn Lizzie:

Oh that's fantastic! Thanks.

Hi Bronywn and all you guys. Favorite show tunes show AND deejay, that's for sure!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:25pm
Webhamster Henry:

There's a reference to the Music-Pop crossover in the movie "Grace Of My Heart", where the aspiring pop singer heroine auditions with "Hey There" from the Pajama Game before being told no one wants that kind of singer and music anymore. en.wikipedia.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:28pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@ngh: Weill just did the music for Mack the Knife- not the Satchmo film

I think I and the people on my dad's side of the family (the dark ones anyway) have Judy Garland eyes
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:47pm
WR:

Hi, have been listening, but except for spending 10 minutes trying to figure out how all those things you mentioned are found in Carousel, busy with work tonight. Thanks for the show.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:49pm
Webhamster Henry:

I have Gigi in French - and I think of the English version as a translation!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:49pm
Webhamster Henry:

I should probably do a cover with Ken's Goat Scream all over it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:54pm
northguineahills:

Gee, I have this Gigi album as well. I think this is the mist albums Bronwyn has played that I have....
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:55pm
diciassette:

I am still a little creeped out by that song (as well as the Kinks' Art Lover)
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:55pm
diciassette:

I love Gigi though!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 7:56pm
diciassette:

Not to mention Maurice
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:02pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

hey WR!! thanks for listening!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:02pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@Henry and diciassette: it is definitely a bit creepy and deserves a goat scream rendition...sadly there are many show tunes that fall into that category
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:04pm
Webhamster Henry:

I have this Cole Porter tune too - there's a good reissue with him singing a bunch of his songs.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:06pm
Jim the Poet:

Cellophane??
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:06pm
diciassette:

Cellophane!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:07pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

I think cellophane probably seemed more exciting back in 1935
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:08pm
Jim the Poet:

Calambert is pretty cool
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:08pm
Webhamster Henry:

Paul Frees Channeling Harry Richman.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:08pm
Webhamster Henry:

Paul Frees ALWAYS sounds like Paul Frees.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:09pm
diciassette:

have you guys heard But in the Morning, No! (still on C. Porter topic) it's my theme song
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:11pm
Sweet Corn Lizzie:

Cole and Paul Frees, both great!

Pretty sure I've heard But in the Morning, No! on this very show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:13pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

i have never played nor heard of but in the morning, no! I will check it out. i am always learning from you guys :D
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:16pm

aha! youtu.be...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:16pm
Sweet Corn Lizzie:

Wow I didn't realize Vincent Price did musical comedy! Recognized him immediately.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:17pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@diciassette: wow what an album cover!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:19pm
Webhamster Henry:

I made Babs singing "People" into a sample on my Mirage sampler back in the late 80s.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:19pm
diciassette:

I have that! It's one of the fantastic records my barber gave me (I'm headed back to the haircut agency in early July)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:19pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@Lizzie: I think that was his only musical. Wikipedia mysteriously claims he starred as Grover in a musical adaptation of The Monster at the End of this Book, but I can't find anything to back that up...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:20pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@diciassette: you must be excited to get a haircut! i am FINALLY getting one tomorrow
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:20pm
diciassette:

I've decided to go for Lionel Barrymore in You Can't Take it With You (I'll get a second opinion, of course)
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:22pm
Webhamster Henry:

All Exclamation Point Musical Shows next time! Also: question mark musicals.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:23pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@diciassette: heck yeah thats gonna look great!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:25pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@Henry: that is a GREAT idea!! i think "is there life after high school?" is the only question mark musical i can think of...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:28pm
Sweet Corn Lizzie:

Maybe just musical questions?
You have to give your answer in the form of a question?
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:35pm
Webhamster Henry:

I thought How Now, Dow Jones had a question mark -- it OUGHT to.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:36pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

It should but sadly doesn't

Webhamster Henry:

What Makes Sammy Run? where's Charlie? Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up? Do I Hear a Waltz?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:47pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

How did I forget Do I Hear a Waltz!?!?!?!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:47pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

maybe it didn't do well because the public was confused by it ending in a question mark instead of an exclamation point
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:51pm
Webhamster Henry:

Do I Hear a Waltz? I Do! I Do!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:51pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

that would be a great/weird double bill!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:54pm
Webhamster Henry:

I'm kind of glad Sondheim didn't end up doing Big Fish.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:55pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

Was he originally supposed to?? That would be interesting indeed
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:56pm
Webhamster Henry:

I like how Evening Primrose, being a TV Musical, didn't need to pad itself out with filler.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:57pm
Webhamster Henry:

So you're pencilled in for a Friday Dance Party, I hear.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:02pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

Yes!! I am going to pay homage to the lovably trashy decade of my childhood with an '00S DANCE PARTY!!! Backstreet Boys, Britney, Beyonce, Shakira, Gaga, Kesha, etc
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:04pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

going into slight OT again!! someday i will figure out how to make a show exactly 2 hours
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 9:04pm

I love that in one of the Gilmore Girls episodes they had a 2002 themed party (the episode probably came out in 2007) Thanks Bronwyn!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 9:06pm

We could have a 2019 theme party at this point.

@diciassette: The movie Lady Bird is set in 2002 and made me feel all kinds of nostalgic

I'm waiting, hopefully, for the Roaring Twomps
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 9:08pm

A love letter to Sacramento, that was!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 9:08pm
Webhamster Henry:

Fun fact - I'm actually in the chorus of the version of Without You that was used in the recent movie "The Farewell"'s ending credits.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 9:09pm
