I have two for Angelique....

Every time I hear either of these songs, I imagine a montage of scenes of Angelique doing her dirty work.

The main theme - "If The House is Rockin' (Don't Bother Knockin') _Brian Setzer_

Buzz - "The Legend of Johnny Cool" _Brian Setzer_

Willie - "The Last Payday" _Harry Connick Jr._

Barnabas - "Blue Light Red Light" _Harry COnnick Jr._ (you really have to know this song to get the reference, I guess)

Julia - "I Only Whisper Your Name" _Harry Connick Jr._


Geez, can't ya guess what I've been listening to tonight? And seriously, how many of y'all have heard of this music???  ?!?

LOL! I must be the only one on the planet still listening to swing music.

ElizabethGrayson,

A member of BBVD is a good friend, and I bet he'll be tickled when he hears about the DS associations you came up with for their songs.

Thought of a few more to add.

Sarah - Rag Doll - The 4 Seasons

Hallie/Carrie - Big Girls Don't Cry - 4 Seasons

Charles D. Tate - You Don't Have To Paint Me A Picture - Gary Lewis & The Playboys

King Johnny - King Of The Road - Roger Miller

David - In My Room - Beach Boys

Magda & Sandor - Gyspies, Tramps & Thieves - Cher

Carl Collins - Everybody Loves A Clown - Gary Lewis & Playboys

Laura Collins - Burnin Down The House - Talkin Heads

Adam - Bad Leroy Brown - Jim Croce                              

After watching the Tony awards and especially after the sequence of Mamma Mia where ABBA songs are used to tell the story, I could see:

     DARK SHADOWS - THE MUSICAL

with the story being told using Golden Oldies as suggested in these postings.

I think any remake would have to be totally different and totally off the wall to attract any attention IMHO.

  Carol

I Say a Little Prayer (Bacharach) -- Reverend Trask

One Hand, One Heart ("West Side Story")/You Make Me
Feel So Young (Sinatra) -- Count Petofi

That Old Devil Moon -- Quentin Collins and Chris Jennings

Paperback Writer (Beatles) -- Flora Collins

Your Smilin' Face (James Taylor) -- Jason McGuire

Torn Between Two Lovers -- Josette Collins

The Monster Mash -- Adam

Alone Again (Naturally)/Good Day Sunshine (Beatles) -- Barnabas Collins

I'm Saving All My Love for You (Whitney) -- Julia Hoffman

I must be the only one on the planet still listening to swing music.

EG, I'm a fan of Harry Connick Jr.'s early stuff (and even taught myself to play a little bit of "One Last Pitch").  I'll always remember his concert at the Chicago Theater ten years ago.  It rained so hard that night, water started trickling through the ceiling onto the stage.  This inspired an impromptu performance of "Pennies from Heaven" and the audience went crazy.

You guys crack me up   with your song picks!
The only one that pops into my head right now
is "A Kiss from a Rose" by Seal
For Barnabas to sing to Josette.
