. . . is shockingly like <a href=” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu7yhJRrp0U”_blank”>this</a>.
Only I don’t subscribe to The Sun.
ETA: The clip of “Good Morning, Baltimore” has been removed from YouTube. Fair enough. I don’t want anyone giving away my copyrighted material, either.
I wondered about the garbage truck, now we know it’s true! I’m trying to talk the mister into going to see Hairspray with me this afternoon.
I believe it almost…….but I do NOT buy that you bop around in a PLAID skirt.
We JUST saw it yesterday. What a great intro. Christopher Walken looked like he was having SUCH a blast.
And no, i couldn’t wake up like that if my life was at stake, as the buttun reads “NOT A MORNING PERSON doesn’t even BEGIN to describe it” but I do like singing and zip around my neighborhood, iPod headset on singing along – girl groups are some of the top choices.
“He’s a rebel and he’ll never never be any good…..”
Did anyone else mention that John Waters played the flasher in that song?
Perfect.
I thought that was a nice tip of the hat, or should I say flash of the raincoat, to Waters.
You cheerily sing and dance through your entire morning routine??
@#$%ing morning people.
Yep, pretty much.
I’m not as tolerant of the rats as Tracy Turnblad is, though.
Well, that’s something, I guess!
I spend my mornings wishing my children were night people so I could have the time and space I need to wake up. Then I realize if they were night people, I’d never get any work accomplished. Six of one, half a dozen of the other….
That’s just freaky (spoken by a night owl).
I thought I was the only one who sang stupid Broadway songs in the morning. I thought my neighbors on the other side couldn’t hear me, until one morning…Doug says, “Hey, nice voice!” GRINS really big, and whistles his way down the stairs to his gorgeous white convertible Porsche 911. Sigh…he’s 30 years too young, BUT a gal can dream, can’t she?
<G>
I loved that movie–even if it lost the Waters’ sensibility and quirkiness. Two different and enjoyable movies for me.
I’ve witnessed this morning routine, once. It amazes me how Laura gets the garbage truck to stop for her… EVERY TIME.
I’ve loved Hairspray in every incarnation — film, Broadway musical and now the film adaptation of the stage show.
I had only one “ook” moment — at the end of the film, people are shown behind police barricades, cheering integration. Much as I love my hometown, that was not the general feeling in 1962.
By the way, I strongly urge people to track down the source material, “The Nicest Kids in Town,” which is in a collection of John Waters’ essays. A very good example of combining first-person and straight-forward reporting.
Now if I could only master the Madison . . .
Joke’s on me: Last night, as I walked home from a friend’s house, a very large rat crossed my path. There was no dancing.
And Andi? I could totally rock that plaid skirt.
Sigh, yes, you could.
You won’t though, right? My heart couldn’t stand it….
