A Date with John Waters
CML call number: CD POPULAR Date
Contents: Tonight you belong to me -- Jet boy jet girl -- Ain't got no home -- I'd love to take orders from you -- In spite of ourselves -- All I can do is cry -- Big girls don't cry -- Imitation of life -- Sometimes I wish I had a gun -- Johnny are you queer -- (Night time is) The right time -- Hit the road to dreamland -- If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake -- Bewildered.
Christopher Arnott wrote in the New Haven Advocate: "For those who hate Hairspray the musical because it dared to remove the movie's gloriously obscure ’50s dance-pop soundtrack, this is the soundtrack to a romantic comedy that Waters could never make. R&B party types like Shirley & Lee and Clarence 'Frogman' Henry play alongside underground cuts from Waters cohorts like Mink Stole and Edith Massey. Josie Cotton’s ’80s one-off 'Johnny Are You Queer?' strikes a blow for romantic diversity, as does the … rewrite of Plastic Bertrand['s] 'Ça Plane Pour Moi' by Elton Motello (aka The Dam[n]ed’s Captain Sensible). In this context, smoothies like Dean Martin and Ray Charles seem unredeemably campy."
