Sound Clip Trivia
Round 1, Epilogue

"Executive assistant to the producer: Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat Rudich!"


That would be Harry Nilsson's rendition of the entire closing credits to one Otto Preminger's more notorious ventures, Skidoo

Thanks to everyone who participated in this first round of Sound Clip Trivia. And let's put it this way, if you got one correct answer, you tied for first place.

Sound Clip Trivia
Round 1, Week 5 (FINAL ROUND)

Only in D.A. Pennebaker's Original Cast Album: Company will you find Stephen Sondheim perfecting the pronunciation of Susan Browning's, Pamela Myers's, and Donna McKechnie's "Bobby-Baby, Bobby-Bubbi, Bobby" from "You Can Drive A Person Crazy." Originally meant to be the first episode in an ongoing series documenting the recording of original cast albums, for reasons unknown to Filmbo, Pennebaker never made another episode.



All right, final round. In which film would you find someone humorously singing every credit at the end. I'm sure a few of these names are IMDb-able, so no hint needed.

Sound Clip Trivia
Round 1, Week 4

Nope last week wasn't Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, it was Bela Tarr's Damnation.


(Vali Kerekes)


Though to be fair, that is quite the David Lynch-sounding cabaret singer doing her own little impersonation of Monica Vitti. But for me, Tarr's out-of-tune piano is unmistakable.


So this week I will once again hope that things will be slightly easier. The music themed round continues and that hopefully will not drive a person like you crazy.



And for extra points, name all four people in the clip.
