Ooh, I assume this is where The Tubes come in. Excited

WAIT!

I've tried to turn people onto this track periodically in the past.

Enthusiastically.

It's failed every single time. happy

Olivia's back.

This probably works in the movie.

by Nightjar Mon May 04, 2020 8:44 pm

It is a genuinely a brilliant arrangement, but it seems that every sane person I know loathes it. sad yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 8:44 pm

Track 4 - Suspended in Time.

by Guest Mon May 04, 2020 8:44 pm

This is too soundtracky.

It need the pictures.

I'm imagining the sort of thing paradied by Monty Python at the end of The Meaning of Life.

by Nightjar Mon May 04, 2020 8:45 pm

This is the "Hopelessly Devoted to You" of the album. sad yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 8:46 pm

In places, this one is almost worthy of being an ABBA album track. happy

First time on the Album Listening thingy for Gene Kelly?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 8:48 pm

Track 5 - Whenever You're Away From Me.

With ~~Fred Astaire~~ Gene Kelly.

by Nightjar Mon May 04, 2020 8:48 pm

OK, I believe this one is rubbish.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 8:49 pm

What is the difference between Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 8:49 pm

This is quite nice.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 8:50 pm

Even though a 90 year old and a 30 year old are singing a love song to each other. shifty

by Nightjar Mon May 04, 2020 8:50 pm

Still, they roped poor old Gene Kelly into this so...

Well...

It's wheeling Sinatra out in an iron lung and getting him to croak "doo be dooby doo".

by Guest Mon May 04, 2020 8:50 pm

Patience being tested…
