THROWBACK THURSDAY: Happy Birthday John Waters!

 

Today is the 75th birthday of the Pope of Trash, the Prince of Puke, the most venerated Filth Elder alive, John Waters.

It's never easy to explain to those not familiar with this Baltimore filmmaker, just who the man is and why his work deserves the acclaim it's received. Just go over to Youtube and look for interviews with Waters. If you're not a fan within a couple of minutes, maybe just move on.

One thing I've always loved about Waters is his musical tastes. From sickly sweet '50s pop to crazed R&B to all sorts of sonic trash, Waters has a knack of using music that richly enhances the weirdest and most hilarious moments in his films.

So here's a musical tribute for Mr. Waters on his birthday.

In his first feature-length film, Mondo Trasho (1969) Waters used several Little Richard songs, including "Long Tall Sally."

Waters used this jolt of saccharine by Patti Page in a notorious scene involving the incomparable Divine and dog doo doo.

Here's the title track of Waters' 1974 classic Female Trouble, sung by Divine: 

The theme from 1981's  Polyester sung by Tab Hunter (background vocals by Debbie Harry, who co-wrote the song with husband Chris Stein):

Waters' Hairspray (1988) included not one but two songs by Dee Dee Sharp. Here's one of them:

Waters doesn't use a lot of country music in his soundtracks, but he admits he's become a hillbilly music fan in his old age. For a look at Waters-approved country CLICK HERE. He used this song, by Roger Miller soundalike Leroy Pullens in Pecker (1998).

WACKY WEDNESDAY: Golden Throats Strike Again!

 

It's been more than a year since I dedicated a Wacky Wednesday to the Golden Throats.

Well, friend, that's too long!

What's a "Golden Throat?" you might ask. As I've said before:

Back in the '80s and '90s, when Rhino Records was actually a cool label, they released a series of albums called Golden Throats. These nutball compilations featured movie and TV stars, sports heroes and every stripe of cheesy celebrity singing ham-fisted versions of songs they had no business singing. Pop tunes, rock 'n' roll hits, country song, whatever. Nothing was sacred and nothing was safe from the Golden Throats. 

 Because of the exposure from the Rhino series, some of these unintentionally hilarious songsters became notorious and ironically hip. Think William Shatner -- the Elvis of the Golden Throats! -- and his over-the-top renditions of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "Mr. Tambourine Man."

So, let's start today with Mamie Van Doren dissing the beatniks, as only Mamie could:

Another singing blonde bombshell of the mid 20th Century was Jayne Mansfield.  Although her vocal talent wasn't her best-known attribute, it might not be fair to label her as a "Golden Throat." She was a classically trained violinist and pianist and she actually could sing. 

Jack Nicholson sings "La Vie En Rose" in the 2003 movie Something's Gotta Give."

Super model -- but not so super singer -- Naomi Campbell meets T Rex

Finally, here are William Frawley and Vivian Vance -- who portrayed the beloved Fred & Ethel Mertz in I Love Lucy -- as OG Golden Throats in 1953. (Sorry, the person who posted this doesn't allow embeds. You have to click on "Watch on YouTube" in lower right corner.)
