Looking for a song for my voice lesson.
#0Looking for a song for my voice lesson.
Posted: 3/1/05 at 1:44amMy voice teacher wants me to sing a song that a former student sang, but she can't remember what show it is from. She said the song is called RKO and is a man reflecting on going to the movies as a child. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Posted: 3/1/05 at 2:02amSounds vaguely like 'Science Fiction/Double Feature' from Rocky Horror. It's the opening song to the show and is a series of old film references, and RKO is mentioned.

I agree with TIMMERBO, but isnt' Columbia singing that song?...
I forgot...
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

Posted: 3/1/05 at 8:04amGood thread, I'm always looking for songs for my voice lessons. Don't have any now for you, but Wicked and Rent are always good choices (I'm not just saying that because I like the shows, just because they have great songs).

Posted: 3/1/05 at 9:02amYes! I am sure that is "Science Fiction Double Feature". Columbia sings that song? I thought it was Riff-Raff. Who knows, you are probably right...

Jean Vel Jean in Les Miz. Definately
(but in all seriousness, it is larger than life-good song too!)

Posted: 3/1/05 at 5:07pmThanks everyone for your help! I had a lesson today and as soon as I mentioned My Favorite Year, my voice teacher remembered that the song she had in mind is indeed Larger Than Life.
