Movie Song of the Week: “Bye Bye Life”

I have no idea whether or not the Angel of Death would look anything like Jessica Lange. In fact, the one woman in my life who looks anything like Jessica Lange actually saved me from a premature death back in 2004. But it says something about Bob Fosse's vision that Lange's performance as the Angel of Death in 1979's All That Jazz received an endorsement from priest/author Andrew M. Greeley of all people. And I kinda like it too -- though I would probably envisage my angel as looking more like Salma Hayek or Dolores del Río.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this week's number. Even if you disagree with Ms. Lange's performance, the song is still good.

Movie Song of the Week: “Everything Old Is New Again”

As you might have guessed from this week's very light blogging, this hasn't been one of my better weeks. So I can't help but post one of my favorite cheery numbers from 1979's All That Jazz in the hope that the goddess Ann Reinking and her follower Elzsebet Foldi might distract me from an otherwise inevitable pity party.

I hope you all enjoy it.
