I like Adagio, though in the 1970s - according to sleeve notes - elevator rides were described as 'death by Adagio' - it was the pervasive tune, snobbery anecdote, you can wave your pinky to Adagio. There's a good or gauche choral rendition in the Hollywood film 'Ordinary People.' We got married to Adagio and The Four Seasons - both of us forgetting to choose any music for the registry office, and think father was rendered to the same tune, for the same reason. No, that would be Bird On a Wire [shit version]. Younger generation - gets cross with elders listening to covers [version]: Who's Leonard Cohen they would have said? Similar reasons, oldies were completely confounded by re-emergence of Johnny Cash, who to 70s mind was total stiff, [I may be wrong].
I'm a sucker for obscure British films of the '70s - mainly horror - especially when they have an opening title song as good as this:
Just put the film on one night and was immediately struck by it. These British films from the 70s throw up some real gems. Here's a couple more.
These wild days, I bound all of my old wounds I threw all of my bullets to my best warriors For me, there is no victory, only a friend of mine who is lost Now and forever blissful, in a corner of Salonika. Oh! When the curtain falls, my foolish Juliet In the dark the actors are playing Russian roulette. For me, there is not a role, only a drunken clown That falls down in disguised where spits... Where the whole world spits!
I don't like all his stuff - and the new film is supposed to be a dud - and true, some of the gags in this clip are very poor...still, talk is that the soundtrack is good fun, worth a waste of money, so.. face at the end is best
