Good morning stackers!
It's Monday so we're back with another Meta Music Mondays. After last night's sporting debacle for me the only song I can think of is "Sound of silence". Yeah you know what I mean... hello darkness my old friend.
Anyway, we're here to talk music and share songs so let's talk about musicians who have been in films or TV shows.
Im talking Queen B (that's Beyonce to anyone outside of a certain generation) in Austin Powers. Will smith in MIB, lady Gaga in a star is born.
So I shall slightly continue the spooky season with my submission.
Meat Loaf in the Rocky Horror Picture Show with Hot Patootie - https://youtu.be/pMRl55U0eDw?si=b2vhNMopsF8j4ygw
In the immortal words of Pat Benetar, Hit me with your best shot.
Bowie in: • The Man Who Fell to Earth • Just a Gigolo • Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence • The Hunger • Labyrinth • The Linguini Incident • Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
...plus he acted on stage playing the lead role, Joseph Carey Merrick, in The Elephant Man.
If I remember correctly in interviews he usually said that saw himself more of an actor than musician when performing his music.

Yes to Bowie. And you can kind of see that in his work. He "acted" a persona with Ziggy stardust. He was an excellent entertainer.

I actually haven't seen the 2003 version of the Italian job. But I liked the track, I enjoyed the raw intro of acapella style beatboxing which runs through the whole track. I expected it to get drowned out when the rest of the instruments came in, but it's still there just complimenting everything. Good suggestion I enjoyed it.

Isn't Lady Gaga going to be in the next Joker movie?
reply
Maybe, I hadn't heard. I did think she was great in a star is born. But also, I felt like she was just playing herself and that the character just fit her really well.
reply
I think Mos Def is a great actor.

Wait what sporting debacle?
reply
The Vikings V Chiefs. There were some very dodgy ref calls, but ultimately, it was again dropped passes and little mistakes that cost us that game. When it was working we absolutely looked like we could go toe to toe with KC. But it was not to be.

Not overly familiar with Björks work but that was really good, she's got a really nice voice, almost eerie and ethereal it's really impactful. what movie did she appear in out of interest?
