Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from April 9, 2021 Favoriting

Bronwyn Bishop's avatar View Bronwyn Bishop's profile Favoriting

Musical theater from off the beaten path. Obscure and unusual show tunes from within the canon and without, flops, failures, and the newest works from up-and-coming artists—plus tried-and-true hits. Also, occasional appearances from songs that are not show tunes (but only if they go really well with show tunes).

I saw the George M. Cohan biopic as a child, and it made a strong impression on me. Maybe it starred James Cagney???? (That is a guess.)

Crossword help. "Show biz hit." Four letters, begins with B. Anyone??

"It was a very good year" sounds like it should be in a musical. Sinatra sang this a lot in later years; very dramatic.

The standard WFMU version is sung by Shatner.
Avatar 8:18pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

@Gregory: The first time I heard this song it was being played in a rock version by a female singer/guitarist, I forget her name, but I remember it was really intense and affecting when sung somewhat angrily by a middle-aged woman
Avatar 8:20pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

my favorite thing about THIS song is that it's so cool and psychedelic and was written by uber-square Hal Hackady, lyricist of SNOOPY!!!
Avatar 8:21pm

@Henry: I played that version once in the medley with his crazy Hamlet Soliloquy!

Avatar 🎭 8:50pm
Listener Gregory:

Milord ends with this "shadow of the street" saying that we should all dance! And sing! And the song seems to get upbeat. But it's really a dance of desperation, and she will return to her drab, sad existence at its end.
Not to be a downer, of course.

How Much Is That Doggie is the first pop song I can specifically remember hearing as a child. However, I wasn't alive in 1953, so I suspect my memory is from my grandmother singing it to me.
