Musical Mondays – “Female of the Species” from Satan in High Heels

CoolCinemaTrash — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:03:25 +0000

Though not as trashy and exploitative as the title might imply, Satan in High Heels (1962) is still a must-see for fans of Cool Cinema Trash. Meg Myles plays the title bad girl who works her way from carnival stripper to nightclub sensation. The cast also includes Grayson Hall as the lesbian proprietress of the chi-chi nightclub, director Del Tenney as Grayson’s fey assistant and the Barbie-esque Sabrina as herself. Below is Meg belting out the song that makes her the toast of New York, “Female of the Species”.

Musical Mondays: Natalie Wood & Inside Daisy Clover

One of our absolute favorite Natalie Wood performances is as title character in Inside Daisy Clover(1965). Daisy is plucked from obscurity by studio head Christopher Plummer and turned into America’s favorite musical comedy star. Once she reaches the pinnacle of success, she’s miserable, just as you’d expect from a glossy Hollywood expose like this. Though the film isn’t a musical per se, there are a few songs in the film. Below are rare clips of Natalie’s actual vocals (she was dubbed in the final film).

Musical Mondays: He-Man, He-Man, I am He-Man!

Admittedly, I know nothing about the 1989 Indian film Nafrat Ki Aandhi, and I have no clue why they’d include a He-Man musical number, but this is some seriously cuckoo Bollywood insanity.
