The Tin Man

Camp Soundtrack

Matt’s probably ready to throttle me, because I’ve been singing songs from the movie Camp for the last four days. On Sunday afternoon, on the way back from our chorus retreat, a few of us zoomed down the West Side Highway in a car with the windows rolled down, enjoying the unusually balmy air, ogling rollerbladers, the Camp soundtrack blaring from our speakers. We couldn’t have been gayer. As soon as I got home I had to put on Matt’s DVD of the movie and watch a couple of scenes.

And even though I don’t have the soundtrack, I can listen to some of the music right on the web. I found this, which has three complete songs and a bunch of 30-second clips. I can’t get enough of “The Want of a Nail”… but I really wish I could listen to all of “Turkey Lurkey Time.”

Because I think that’s the one that’s going to drive Matt over the edge.

Perhaps you should invest in some headphones. You know, to save the relationship?

(I walk around the house all the time listening to my iPod. God knows if I put what I listen to on the stereo my DH would probably wanna axe murder me. Man has no taste in music.)

Meh, North Carolina did it first and it’s way gayer. (:

Ha, oh gosh, now you’ve got me doing the “Turkey Lurkey” dance moves where they’re flapping their arms up and down. I need pop in the DVD and watch that scene right now. ;)

you could just buy the soundtrack to “Promises Promises.”

It’s a great song.

I’ll forgive you, but Matt and Mike won’t.

I love the “Ladies Who Lunch” revenge scene best of all.

And of course the special visit from God (aka Stephen Sondheim) towards the end.

Just wish they would have done something from Anyone Can Whistle or Merrily We Roll Along and that the “Vlad” character were gay rather than merely Metrosexual.

Do you know what “metrosexual” means? That character was a tease, not a metrosexual.

So much the worse for him. (And yes I know what “metrosexual” means — I was joshing.)
