The Songs

Opening Credits:
"Small World" ~ Angela Lansbury (1973 London Cast of Gypsy)
Sweet, romantic. Maybe the titles could be written on a series of satin pillows.

Waking Up:
"I Will Survive" ~ Gloria Gaynor
A touch ominous. But fierce. Could do worse when starting one's day.
Wonder if a wig's involved.

First Day At School:
"I'm A Woman" ~ Peggy Lee
Totally fabulous, totally bizarre. Hope it's not the first day of kindergarten though.
That'd be just weird.

Falling In Love:
"Baby Moon" ~ Audra MacDonald
Sorta weird that a song about pregnancy is the "falling in love" score...and yet this is sorta how Lu does fall in love. With exhilaration, terror and total devotion. And of course the voice of Audra sings the sound of love better than anyone Lu can think of.

Fight Song:
LINK "Baby That's Me" ~ The Cake
True enough - the only way StinkyLulu can get tough is via girl group.

Breaking Up:
"Before The Next Teardrop Falls" ~ Freddy Fender
Duh-rama! Let it go already, Miss Martyr!

Prom:
"Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" ~ Ava Gardner (unused track from Showboat - 1951)
Oh jeez. Still stuck on Mister Man. Miss Martyr's really working that tiara.

Life:
"Get The Party Started" ~ Dick Brave & The Backbeats
This is more like it. Prom's over. Time for a real party!

Mental Breakdown:
"People Like Us" ~ Toni Collette & Yancey Arias (from Broadway Cast of The Wild Party)
Uh oh. Back to the self-obsessed tragedy.
At least this is one of the most fabulous Pity Partys ever!

Driving:
"Tainted Love" ~ Marilyn Manson
Wow. This is a driving song. Driiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive!!!

Flashback:
"Just One of Those Things" ~ Lena Horne
Finally. Some perspective.

Wedding:
"Hold On, Hold On" ~ Neko Case
Somehow methinks this isn't my wedding.

Birth of Child:
"Queen Bitch" ~ David Bowie
OK. We've officially moved from melancholy melodrama to a punky coming-of-age story. Again, somehow methinks it ain't Lulu birthing the baby.

Final Battle:
"The Dog Song" ~ Nellie McKaye
Kicking. Ass. While wearing Uma Thurman yellow.

Death Scene:
LINK "America" ~ Natalie Cole, Patti LaBelle & Sheila E.
Have no idea what this means.
Though the utter absurdity of this version of this song does kill me. Starts like a number from the Muppet Movie then goes all Latin before ending up as a gospel choir.
Ideally an extended surreal production number...

Funeral Song:
LINK "Once Upon A Memory" ~ Dolly Parton
Swinging, righteous anthem by a wronged woman who still believes in love. Nice.

End Credit:
LINK"My Funny Valentine" ~ Dinah Shore
Ooh. Dark. And back to the satin pillows... Hmmm.
