With a name based on a Mystery Science Theater 3000 riff, EPP was originally going to mostly house B-movie reviews. Now though, it has become a repository for whatever burrs get under my pop culture saddle on any given day. Seriously, I must be insane; who else voluntarily reads a book on the history of jeans...and enjoys it?

Self-Indulgence: 30 Day Music Meme: Day 22: Your Favorite Song From a Movie

Songs from movies...geez, so many.

Day 22: Your Favorite Song From a Movie

I guess I'd have to go with a song from the great rock opera The Phantom of the Paradise.  This movie has a lot of fantastic songs sung by a lot of great performers, but my favorite is Special to Me as sung by Jessica Harper.
The song is performed as an audition for a rock 'n' roll show in the movie, and Jessica's voice is perfect for it.




LYRICS

Caught up in your wheelin' dealin'
You've got no time left for simple feelin'
I thought I knew you but I didn't know you at all
Trapped inside your world of worry
You miss so much when you always hurry
Well slow down baby you'll only get hurt if you fall

Well you told me one time that you'd be somebody
That you weren't workin' just to survive
But you're workin' so hard that you don't even know you're alive
Workin' so hard to be somebody special not working just to survive
Well you're special to me babe but what I don't see babe is
Where you go once you arrive
Where we go once we arrive

Damn all evil that takes possession
Until your pipe dreams become obsessions
They scare me baby and we should have nothing to fear
I'm no child but I can't help wonder
It seems like some kind of spell you're under
You're listnin' baby but somehow you don't really hear

Well you told me one time that you'd be somebody
That you weren't workin' just to survive
But you're workin' so hard that you don't even know you're alive
Workin' so hard to be somebody special not working just to survive
Well you're special to me babe but what I don't see babe is
Where you go once you arrive
Where we go once we arrive
