Fame

I wore out my Fame soundtrack cassette as a tween...I was just thinking I'd like to have it again, as I've been singing "The Body Electric" to myself a lot.

The album that comes with the movie is an original, with one song I can't recall and 2 instrumental versions (Out Here On My Own and Fame).

My ballet class is doing a routine to Out Here On My Own this year (which, along with "Fame" were the only two songs from the original to make it into the recent movie remake). They did have a 'Hot Lunch Jam' and 'Sing the Body Electric' scene, but they were more modern songs to appeal to a modern audience.

Yeah, I went and looked a the new movie soundtrack to see what made it and what didn't.

I'm now having memories of my Barbies doing dance routines to the original soundtrack. :) Ken's piece to "Dogs in the Yard" would bring tears to your eyes, I tell ya!

Wait a minute, KEN IS GAY!? ;)

If you view the new movie as a modern interpretation and leave it at that, you may like it. They took pretty much the same movie, same character ideas but made it a bit more modern. I missed the characters/actors/songs that I loved and that will always be *my* Fame, but I love that a new generation is getting to see it and appreciate it.
