Movie Song of the Week: "Christmas"

From the 1975 Ken Russell musical Tommy comes one of the most dysfunctional Christmas movie songs of all time. Who would have guessed back then that singer Ann Margret would prove to be such a big influence on future televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker?

Movie Song of the Week: “1951 / What About the Boy?”

At long last, a musical number in which Ann-Margret and the late Oliver Reed explain American political life for the last ten years.

Movie Song of the Week: “Bye Bye Birdie (Reprise)”

I should have posted this tune yesterday but I didn't think of it. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.

From 1963's Bye Bye Birdie, it's a shamelessly young Ann-Margret singing the most memorable number of the entire picture. (And yet the one song from the movie that anyone ever hears nowadays is that “Put on a Happy Face” number.)

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it.
