Song Fu, final round

For the final round of Quickstop Entertainment’s Song Fu competition, the competitors were given this challenge:

THE SONG FROM (aka 70’s Cinema Pop): For this final duel between Master and Challenger, you must envision a world in which composer John Williams was never hired to write the now-iconic scores for the Lucas and Spielberg films of the 1970’s (JAWS, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, 1941, and STAR WARS). Imagine instead that the filmmakers decided to go with that other staple of the 70’s – a tailor-made pop tune. Think THE POSEIDEN ADVENTURE’s “The Morning After (The Song From THE POSEIDEN ADVENTURE)”, which you’ll find below. You must choose one of those 1970’s Williams-scored Spielberg/Lucas flicks and write “The Song From…” that the film never had, in the style of a 1970’s pop tune (particularly in your instrumentation).

The RiffTones responded with: “When a Man Loves a Shark.”

Voting has begun!

UPDATE: By the way, that’s Bill Corbett’s wife, Virginia, singing backup.

Webcast Breaks Some Cinematic Titanic News

A webcast called The Well-Fed Guide to Life had Trace Beaulieu as a guest in its most recent episode. He revealed that the movie that will be riffed at Saturday Night’s live show in Minneapolis (tickets still available) will be “Blood of the Vampires.” (I’m guessing it’s this?)
He also said the next two movies will be a Christmas movie he would not name which will be riffed in St. Louis Nov. 1, and an “Italian Frankenstein movie” (maybe this?) which will be riffed in Chicago in December.

Trace also mentions that he’s seen people with MST3K tattoos. If you have one, send us a photo!
