There May Be a Toad in Your Bass Guitar

Nov 09, 2009 23:43

After another delightful dinner at Threehaus-chicken chili and cornbread-with Dan (incidentist) and Gabby and Sarah and Jason, I was introduced to the most amazing Tim Curry performance of all time.

For some ungodly reason, in addition to owning Gummi Bears on DVD, Gabby owns The Worst Witch, a terrible made-for-TV movie adaptation of a book about a Hogwarts ( Read more... )

Heh, I read the book that was based on in elementary school, and then was really excited to see that there was a movie on the Disney Channel! Then I watched said movie, and was less than excited. Even at age eight or nine, I knew just how insane that solo was.

has anyone seen my tambourine? sophia_helix November 10 2009, 08:18:11 UTC

Now that I've watched the video, I would like to comment that while the music is fairly catchy, the lyricist was on crack, as evidenced by the line "from London to Idaho." Er, "Tokyo," anyone? Three syllables, ends in -o, slightly more exotic than the potato state?

Oh, there are several cracktastic lines. Also note that your teacher could turn into a sardine.

I don't know how this movie exists. It was 1986.
Asked and answered. "It was 1986" explains much. :-)

Oh, Tim Curry! LOL!

I didn't know The Worst Witch was a movie first! I used to watch the tv series with my cousins when I had to babysit them. Hey, Fairuza Balk was the main character? Maybe her character left the school, went insane and became the psychopath in The Craft. That thought amuses me greatly.

Lol, that story! I sometimes wonder how I would react if I ever came across a celebrity that I really liked. I hope that if it sucks I get a awesome phrase like that out of it. :O)

I didn't even know there was a TV series!

oh my gosh I watched The Worst Witch years ago

more like "my mom put it on because it was kid-friendly and looked interesting to her and I could do nothing but watch"

I LOVE THE WORST WITCH. That movie was one of my all time favourites as a kid - so much so that I too own that DVD, because when I saw it existed I had to have it. I would watch it over and over as a kid. Re-watching it as an adult, I realise it is a bit insane (but then so is Labyrinth). I had the books too, but I never saw the TV series. And definitely, the first time I read Harry Potter, The Worst Witch came immediately to mind.
