Confession time: "unhip," "uncool" music you're embarrassed to admit liking.

Here's the Brady Kids covering that same song. Their version starts around 19:00-ish

Speaking of Steven Sondheim...

It's a pity that Merman didn't get the movie role. Rosalind Russell was fine, and played the domineering Mama well, but she was a talker/shouter more than a singer. No one could belt it out like Merman.

I almost forgot that they did a remake of Rocky Horror a few years back. It aired on Fox TV and included a faux audience participation bit where the camera would pull back occasionally and you'd see a crowd in a "movie theatre" doing stuff they did at the midnight shows in the 70's-80's ( throwing toilet paper, shouting dialogue, etc).

I'm not an expert on Panic! At The Disco but this is a quite moving version of the RH opening

Joan Jett covering the same. It almost sounds like T-Rex perhaps?



Oh...these photos are from the mid-70's, but the audio is from 2003.

I still like this version.

I love this song, but these kids do not look poor! I live in a mixed race mixed-class urban neighborhood! And these are the kids I see everyday. Yeah, there's some homeless folks around, but don't get me started on all the Starbucks there are here. These children look pretty lower to mid-middle class at best.

I still like this version.

Yes, INDEED! Neil!

A dear friend of mine (recently passed) and his daughter were huge Dresden Dolls fans. Every time they attended a concert, I would ask them to ask Amanda to tell her husband to get off his ass and finish Miracleman.

I'm sure a lot of the stuff I like is 'unhip' by today's standards. Seems everything today is rap nowadays (which I like some rap, just not the drugged out soundcloud junk- gimmie some Twizid, Snoop or BonesSESH and I'm down.)

I'm sure stuff like Motley Crue and Godsmack are probably not considered cool but by most ppl with a taste for rock music probably think they are allright.

I think if there is anything that I would actually be embarrassed to admit to liking it would probably Florence and the Machine. Idk why I like it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK6U...PatriciaTurmei

Hey, as long as you're not addicted to songs like "The Wheels on the Bus" or to songs from Air Supply, . . .

Right around the time Dennis DeYoung started leaning into the schmaltz...

Petula Clark!

[CaptCleghorn]

Petula Clark!

I can go on and on about my favorite Petula. This is arguably the most famous video she has ever appeared in. Check at 4:08.
