Phantom of the Paradise (1974): Part 5/9

[CuteCatFaith]

The one at 1/48 sounds like Kurt Cobain.

[SpiritStiff]

I want to hear Beef sing a whole version of "Old Souls"

[HeathenSaxon]

I need that giant record chair for my house. That is sick!

[HeathenSaxon]

I need that gian record chair for my house. That is sick!

[daven58100]

4:50 Damn, that sure as hell looks like Bea Arthur.

[TarotMage]

"Swan, this was scored for a chick! I'm not doing it in drag!" Thirty-seven years later and that line still cracks me up! XD

[purplemascara99]

eww paul williams ass stop showing him walk out he's got a girdle on

[holbrooke7]

"Tasty, WInslow. Tasty."  LOL, I'm going to start using the word "tasty" more in conversation.

[adanteria]

that Old Souls Beef version would be amazing

[terpsichoreankat]

Figure with whatever drugs Swan fed him he'd b that way. Look at what Angel Dust can do...one guy high on it can over power four or more guys no problem. Scary.

[Asuigeneris1]

Beef is totally the birth of the lead singer of Semi Precious Weapons. LOL

[Skulldini]

"Ohhhh, I knew I shouldn't be messing with a dead mans music!!"

[Skulldini]

I'll tell ya, this flick really does capture and parody the whole musical climate of the early to mid 70's very well. I mean theres glam, soul, folk rock, beach rock, country rock, bubblegum, heavy metal, retro 50's, .. all the main bases of the then-contemporary and popular music scene. And it sends them up in a very clever and humorous way.

[ThunderX19]

@Skulldini bubblegum??

[Skulldini]

@ThunderX19 I guess I was thinking of the act at 01:33, .. what els would you call them ? I guess they really sounded more like singing telegrams ( hearing them again ) .

[mcog2006]

The first band kinda sounds like ABBA.

[wildmann23]

8:55 Swan has screwed over winslow for the last time...9:36 Damn he rip through a brick wall & through a steel door...Man he's not human....It's on NOW!!!

[rathraven1313]

@wildmann23 Combination of drugs and Winslow's pure rage plus the cement wasn't fully settled.

[ThunderX19]

lol its funny when beef trips and has a hard time getting up

[wilfre2s]

What was that?

[spayro65]

Gerrit Graham readily admits that he was not a singer and any songs done by the character Beef were recorded by someone else. Don't ask me why I know that. I heard it in an interview.

[RainbowBarf13]

no offense to Beef, but he sounds horrible and looks like a drag queen of his time.

[Skulldini]

@RainbowBarf13 Beef is suposed to be a parody of Alice Cooper and glam-era David Bowie and also kind'a pre-figures punk a little ( which hadn't quite gotten off the ground yet when this flick was made ) . And, of course, the Jiucy Friuts are Sha Na Na ( a retero 50's groupe during the 70's ) .

[SunshineStage]

3:45-3:46 Philbin's hand gesture: "F*** you, fairy princess!" LOL

[kennyclone]

at 1:16 whats the first band, its really good i kinda want more.

[kikyosan543]

i cant stand the producer why dousent winslow or erik just kill him! i mean he bound poor winslow to a damn contract as his servent to write the music that he created for his beloved phoenix!

[i742]

he reminds me of a darth vader dying to finish his requiem like Mozart.

[J43265]

Beef: Perfect Drag Queen

[MontyPython246]

Beef looks like Pattinson! xD But he's more talented...

[emilyg21]

@MontyPython246 hahahah eww he really does!

[MildlyAnnoyedAHM]

"It's...pizzezzt!!" 

[leo11lim]

3:63 definitly the penguin

[Ernesto87]

@leo11lim

I agree

[ITSMEEEBELLA]

Hmmm......beef sounds a lot like Audrey 2 from Little shop of horrors doesn't he??

[Skulldini]

@ITSMEEEBELLA Uh hu! Sure does .
