Do Disney soundtracks count as “show tunes”? Thanks to the 40th anniversy of a certain film I can’t name (Mary Poppins) I just bought my third copy of the aforemention unmentionalble film’s (Mary Poppins) soundtrack. Damn you Disney! I hope it’s not, technically, considered “show tunes.” I’d hate being a cliche. Although, I do LOVE Barbara (Eden, of course).
Bert Expounded Thusly:
Yes.
Julie Andrews singing on a soundtrack definitely qualifies in the “show tunes” category.
That you now have three copies of it puts you squarely in that camp.
🙂
Rodney Poppins Expounded Thusly:
sigh…I was afaid of that.
Jolly Holiday Boy Expounded Thusly:
But you are in SUCH good company!
Steve Expounded Thusly:
I hate to argue that the Mary Poppins soundtrack does not fall into the showtunes category, but I want to. Because it is not a Brodway thing! But I completely understand how showtuney it is.
Hmm.
Or not! I think Mary Poppins is so much better than most any showtuney show out there. Except Sweeney Todd, which I don’t consider showtuney anyway.
Can you tell my thought process is poor today? I’m making no sense! Just enjoy your fourth version of the CD and SING ALONG!
John Expounded Thusly:
OK, let’s get this straight: ANYTHING with Julie Andrews or Angela Lansbury singing qualifies as “showtunes.” And without any doubt, any score by Sondheim is tres gay, so … just enjoy it.
Rodney Expounded Thusly:
Even Angela on the “Bedknobs and Broomsticks” soundtrack…
Sorry, I ain't takin' no comments on this page. Deal, y'hear?
