Weekend Discussion Thread: Top 5 “Actual Songs from the Actual Movies”

Somebody using the screen name “king of grief” suggested a thread about favorite actual songs from the actual movies. Good idea, King! You can pick any musical moment you want, but I’m trying to stick to those moments where the movie grinds to halt so somebody can do a complete number. They can be your favorite for any reason.

(By the way, if you have a suggestion for a future weekend discussion thread, I’d love to hear it.)

Here’s mine, in episode order:
• “Cotton Picker” from episode 112- UNTAMED YOUTH. Eddie Cochran, baby. Wow!
• “Scuba Party” from episode 204- CATALINA CAPER. Little Richard, hopped up on goofballs though he may be, is still Little Richard.
• “Wait’ll I Get You Home” from episode 307- DADDY-O. Dick Contino romances Lou Reed from the Transformer album cover. Mwah!
• “”The House on Brownsville Road”” from episode 506- EEGAH! It’s a cabbage patch Elvis! Tequila!
• “Stratosphere Boogie” from episode 609- THE SKY DIVERS. Nashville guitar great Jimmy Bryant livens up this Coleman Francis turd with one of his best songs. George Herman Ruth on guitar!

Least favorite: “Where Can You Be?” from episode 507 – I ACCUSE MY PARENTS. After “Are You Happy in Your Work,” it just feels gratuitous.

What are yours?
