Is the "Debbie Does Dallas" musical really based on the porn movie? I'm listening to the track "At the Practice Field" on AccuBroadway radio, and it's hilarious!

They took the script from the movie, and where the sex scenes happen, they do musical numbers instead.
I've never seen the movie, but I know its reputation (is it a real porn flick, or an "erotic film"?). What are the musical numbers like?

It's a real hardcore porn film. The only reason it is so famous is that the ads said the star was "A Former Dallas Cowgirl", and the producers were sued by the Dallas Cowboys for implying that she had ben a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. In the movie, she wore an outfit that sort of looked like the Cowboys cheerleader's uniforms.
The plot: Debbie, a college cheerleader, has a chance to go to Dallas to try out for a famous cheerleading squad, but she's short on money. She and her girlfriends all get jobs - babysitting, washing cars, working in a record store, a sporting good store, etc., but soon discover they can make much more by having sex with their boses for bonus tips.
So what was the show like? I've heard two numbers now, and it's uber-funny!
the funniest thing isn't just the songs, but the way the lines are delivered- for example, something as simple as "he RESPECTS me, debbie. we are going to DINNER." or "my name is LIIIISA, i like to SHAAAAAKE it!" becomes quite humorous. i'm so glad the album has so much dialouge on it! side note: squeeky from the assassins revival plays lisa.
The dildo rag is hilarious...
I saw the dvd of the movie in a censored english version. Fun to see it.
my fave line from DDD is "as long as I won't be besmirched...like Hester Pryne" The whole thing is seriously funny...You should definitely check it out BlueWizard
I think I will! It will be one of those guilty buys.
Yup, just like the porno. I thought Debbie was hysterical - loved SRS!
