"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.
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.

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.

Such great guesses all around, but there was only one that was correct. I must have misspoke when I said that Noah Baumbach's Highball was easier to identify than Tout va bien. Or wait, Ernie Fusco's Highball (the great-nephew of Antonioni's composer I'm sure).
(Annabella Sciorra and Peter Bogdanovich)
Don't let Fusco's disappointment keep you from checking this film out, it's hardly "minor Baumbach."
So, week three...

Would I have chosen any other director to open my my first round of trivia?
This week's entry into the music in film themed round is a little easier. And you get an extra point if you can name both of the actors featured.

I've enjoyed playing Filmbrain's and Cinephiliac's trivia games for the past year, so I decided to do my own film trivia game on the Chick Magnet.
The theme for this round is the broad topic of music in film, and yet it will only last five weeks. If you don't know the answer, it's all good, you may do better next week.
