Movie Song of the Week: "America"

The more I hear various political officials claim to be part of the "Resistance", the more I want to repost this song.

After all, it can be argued that in his own way, Bernardo was a resistance leader and in any event, any serious discussion of "resistance" that leaves out Hispanics doesn't seem worth talking about.

Movie Song of the Week: "Gym Mambo"

Integration, 1961 New York style.

Movie Song of the Week: "Quintet"

I only wish this song was as obsolete as it should be. But after hearing all the recent political news... I don't think so.

The wagon is coming! The wagon is coming!

The first example of blue-eyed rap.

If you can't post something from Doctor Zhivago during a week this cold, when can you post it?

Paul Lynde and Maureen Stapleton sum up the generation gap in this number from 1963's Bye Bye Birdie.

Movie Song of the Week: "Beach Party"

This week I post the title song from the 1963 "classic" Beach Party, performed by an uncredited Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello and including the memorable dance style of one Ms. Candy Johnson. I hope you all enjoy it.

Movie Song of the Week: "America"

Since we seem to have an American theme today, why should I not repost this?

Movie Song of the Week: "The Sound of Music"

In honor of Earth Day, the recent Easter holiday, the start of spring and in order to forget last week's chain of abysmal events, I'm posting the most cheerful song that I have yet to post.

Besides, we could always use a little Julie Andrews in our life at some point, right?

Movie Song of the Week: "Moon River"

Mi novia has a birthday this week and Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of her favorite movies.

Enjoy.

Movie Song of the Week: "Mad Monster Party"

Jazz singer Ethel Ennis' Shirley Basseylike rendition of the title song from the 1967 animated movie Mad Monster Party.

I meant to post it sooner but due to personal illness, I was delayed in posting anything this week. Oh, well. Better late than never.

Movie Song of the Week: "Brotherhood of Man"

I kinda wish I had thought about singing this song when they closed down my department. Not that it would have worked in real life, but hey, you never know...

Movie Song of the Week: "Iowa Stubborn"

You just know I had to post this number some time this month even if it doesn't have a thing to do with Martin Luther King Jr.

Movie Song of the Week: "Theme from Psycho"

I should have posted this sooner but it has been a crazy week for me. I hope it has not been as maddening for you all as well.

The ideal show tune for a Monday.

For the good people of New York -- and of course, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

When it comes to creative capitalism, Donald Trump ain't got nothing on Harold Hill.
