oh jesus you really, really must. I actually originally saw it because I'm sorta Jackie Gleason-obsessed, and, at the time I saw it, I had no idea of the film's legacy. I soon learned. Holy hell is it something to see!

FUCK! I saw an LP copy of this at Let it Be for cheap (like sub $10) and thought "Maybe... nah."

I have the album on Soulseek now. That track is called "The Cast And Crew".

Friend of mine here has the original album. He burned it for me. It's a cool curio, with Carol Channing. It's a lousy movie, though.

everything - i can't find you man. what's yr username etc etc?

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Thursday, 24 February 2005 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

My username is "everything". The folder is "Nilsson - Skidoo"

I'm pretty new to this Soulseek thing so let me know if you can't find me. Apparently I'm logged in and that folder is available to everyone. No-one ever seems to download from me (though I only have a few files) so maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Buy it!!

It's definetly worth buying the two-fer with "The Point" which is fantastic of course, and the four bonus tracks, which are all good.

everything - i keep getting 'error trying to get file list' for you on slsk

Is this something to do with Port Forwarding? I can download files no problem, though apparently I "need to configure my router settings correctly". I'm looking it to it. Advice??

"Skidoo" soundtrack is mostly just bog standard "incidental" music plus, tragedy of tragedies, Carol Channing sings the title track instead of Harry! What a disappointment! However it does have "I Will Take You There" which is lovely lovely loveliness and is definitely in my Harry POX and "Garbage Can Ballet" which is pure Sesame Street sweet silliness. "The Cast and Crew" = genius, "How's your popcorn?"

... oh yeah and what a cast:

Jackie Gleason, Carol Channing, Frankie Avalon, Frank Gorshin, John Phillip Law, Peter Lawford, Burgess Meredith, George Raft, Cesar Romero, Mickey Rooney, Groucho Marx, Arnold Stang, Slim Pickens, Richard Kiel, Harry Nilsson...

Film is famously terrible but I only saw it once when I was about 10 so didn't understand why Mickey Rooney, George Raft and Jackie Gleason pretending to be on acid is potentially a good thing
