Today I binged " Wednesday " on Netflix.
I didn't plan on doing that, but once I got into the first episode I just kept going.
In the end I can't say which of my scenes were my favorites because each scene was woven into the next in such a fashion that I really can't tease them apart.
But there were the musical highlights and I LOVED those.
At the Never More soiree the students danced to :Goo Goo Muck" by the Cramps.
Goo Goo Muck came out when I was a Sophmore in highschool and I did love that song. I also remember people dancing to it.
Wednesday used some of those moves that people did to punk music or new wave back then, but it was a lot more graceful and the passion in that wasn't rooted in anger or the desire to not show passion of any kind at all. So I liked it. Oh heck. I loved it.
GOO GOO MUCKY BY THE CRAMPS
When the sun goes down, and the moon comes up
I turn into a teenage goo goo muck
Yeah, I cruise through the city and i roam the street
Looking for something that is nice to eat
You better duck
When I show up...
The goo goo muck.
I'm the night headhunter looking for some head
With a way out body underneath that head
Well I'll get you baby with a little luck
'Cuz i'm teenage tiger and a goo goo muck
You better duck
When I show up...
The goo goo muck
Yeah, the city is a jungle and I'm a beast
I'm a teenage tiger looking for a feast
I want the most but i'll take the least
'Cuz i'm a goo goo muck tiger and a teenage beast, yeah...
You'd better duck, you motherfuck!
...The goo goo muck.
Songwriters: Ed James, Ronnie Cook
Paint It Black is one of those songs that I seek out just so I can hear how people are arranging it.
The version from Wednesday featured a cello instead of vocals but what I thought set this apart from other versions is that the montage fit the song perfectly and as a BIG bonus " Wednesday " reminded me of a gargoyle when she performed the song. Her neck was stretched out, her hands looked like claws and she was looking down- but not at her hands.
The visual and the music created a truly memorable version of this song:
PS
There was a lot f buzz before " Wednesday " came out about why this wasn't released at Halloween and dropped before Thanksgiving.
Well it features Pilgrims and in a round about way Thanksgiving.
