Movie Song of the Week: “There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This”
In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, it's the great Chita Rivera and her friends Shirley MacLaine and Paula Kelly in a number from 1969's Sweet Charity.
I'm not sure whether the West Side Story references in this song were intentional but given the fact that Ms. Rivera played Anita in the original Broadway version of WSS, it wouldn't surprise me if they were.
I hope you all enjoy it. Even if its lyrics seem even more poignant in these times than usual.
