Songs about the Movies

[BadCoverVersion]

Any favourites about?

I'm partial to a bit of 2HB by Mr Ferry...Although I do love the Venus in Furs version also!

Dedicated to Humphrey Bogart of course...

Oh, I was moved by your screen dream
Celluloid pictures living
Your death could not kill my love for you
Take two people romantic
Smoky nightclub situation
Your cigarette traces a ladder

Here's looking at you kid
Celebrate years
Here's looking at you kid
Wipe away tears
Long time since we're together
Now I hope it's forever

Ideal love flies away now
White jacket black tie wings too
You gave her away to the hero
Words don't express my meaning
Notes could not spell out the score
But finding not keeping's the lesson

Here's looking at you kid
Hard to forget
Here's looking at you kid
At least not yet
Your memory stays
It lingers ever
Will fade away never

It really is a beautiful song...particularly when Thom Yorke is providing vocals!

[Big Pudge]

As Though It Were a Movie-Peter Sarstedt.

[NeuGenX]

Celluloid Heroes by The Kinks

Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
And everybody's in movies, it doesn't matter who you are
There are stars in every city
In every house and on every street
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Their names are written in concrete

Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the Boulevard
She looks so weak and fragile that's why she tried to be so hard
But they turned her into a princess
And they sat her on a throne
But she turned her back on stardom
Because she wanted to be alone

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain

Rudolph Valentino looks very much alive
And he looks up ladies dresses as they sadly pass him by
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
'Cause he's liable to turn and bite
But stand close by Bette Davis
Because her's was such a lonely life

If you covered him with garbage
George Sanders would still have style
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
He would still turn round and smile
But please don't tread on dearest Marilyn
'Cause she's not very tough
She should have been made of iron or steel
But she was only made of flesh and blood

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain

Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
And everybody's in show biz, it doesn't matter who you are
And those who are successful
Be always on your guard
Success walks hand in hand with failure
Along Hollywood Boulevard

I wish my life was non-stop Hollywood movie show
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die

You can see all the stars as you walk along...
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Some that you recognize, some that you've hardly even heard of
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain

La la la la....

Oh, celluloid heroes never feel any pain
Oh, celluloid heroes never really die
I wish my life was non-stop Hollywood movie show
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die

[SAI]

Not 100% sure if this counts asits about someone who MAKES movies but anyway when I saw Aimee Mann she told the audience that Red Vines was written about Paul Thomas Anderson. (the lyric was going to be Camel lights and red vines as PTA smoke camels)

Its about the French film Un Chien Andalou. More info here (http://dag.wieers.com/debaser/debaser.php).

[BadCoverVersion]

I watched Un Chien Andalou the other night...

I'd forgotten how freeeeeeaky it was.

*Brrrrrrrrrrr*

Surrealism doesn't half send a shiver up my spine.

Surrealism doesn't half send a shiver up my spine. Is it really that freaky? You've made me curious.

Its available on Kazaa (strangely).. so I'm downloading it right now. Going very slow.. but should be worth it.

[Romero&Juliet]

Bake.. wait until Nighttime before you watch it..

You might thank me.. (?)


The first.. Oh, five seconds of this movie is...is.. well, its ineffable..!

Perhaps it's just me...

The avant garde frightens me a wee bit.

It's worth seeing for the shocking hand-on-tit shot...very taboo at the time that was...:o.

[BakeTheMooCow]

It was weird, to say the least, although more coherent and connected than I thought it would be. The plot descriptions made it out to be a series of random surreal images.. like the video tape in The Ring. But this sort of had a storyline.. I can't say I loved it. I found it fascinating.. like most of Salvador Dali's paintings and drawings.

The eye-cutting scene only lasted a couple of seconds sadly.. that was my incentive for watching the short. But still, glad I saw it. The best bit was the person on the street poking at a severed hand with a cane... and also, the bugs crawling on the man's hand afterwards.. great effect!

Yeah, that hand-on-tit shot was nice... and the massaging... ooh, work it baby.
