"The Elephant Man" (1980) - Inappropriate Soundtracks

[scyduckzard2007]

DAMN....that was so WRONG, yet SO RIGHT all at the same time!!!

[joeylodes]

WoW!!!!  amazing

[gothichyppie]

This is so wrong, lol!

[mrmabstoa]

A Stanley Kubrick production!

[TudorRose85]

That was too funny when they clapped at the end.

[MagellansUnderwear]

David Lynch is probably proud.

[newfful]

ROFLMAO!!!

[Apollomasque]

I bit of my my soul was sent screaming to hell when I snickered at that.

[Corvastus]

Anthony Hopkins before everyone knew him as Hannibal Lecter. Good stuff, indeed.

[mclovehandles]

Quite humorous, I was expecting H. Mancini's 'Baby Elephant Walk'. Much better choice here.

[DrNSalmon]

"The Elephant Man" is a powerfully moving film about a most unfortunate man with a grotesquely disfigured body and the soul of a poet. Pretty heady stuff. Yet this video made me split a gut. I'm still wiping the tears from my eyes from laughing so hard. Genuinely hilarious.

With all due respect and apologies to the memory of the great Joseph (not "John") Merrick.

[SeverusSaile]

nice :)

[freakysideshow]

awkward emotions while watching

[autobotjazz1972]

O.O omfg XD

[pinkcupcake333]

awkward...wow... O.O

[Veggieman87]

I want to make a movie full of inappropriate soundtrack choices now.

[Boonehams]

And I'd be first in line to see it.

[mervellious]

What song is playing? I really want it now XD

[DrNSalmon]

@mervellious

"The Stripper" by David Rose

[topraman519]

I was thinking the same exact thing.

[HARLEYMK69]

lol that song

[Sunydown18]

oh gawd that is so funny! But seriously, it's a very sad movie.

[DMMP28]

I tried so hard not to laugh but I did. That poor guy but this was funny.

[Boonehams]

Thanks!

[DMMP28]

You're welcome. :)

[Echowraith]

aha, ohgod, those kinky pervs

[yaffle]

christ, you've ruined this movie for me, ahahahaha!

[Boonehams]

Then my work here is done. *spins cape and flies off*

[sexybeastmartin]

That is great haha

[DomIstKrieg]

jesus, thats inappropriate. But, really funny.

[Deffie]

This film breaks my heart, and this edit cracks me up. Magnificent job!

[CarMoves]

Ha!!!!!!!

That's bad.

[toured87]

david lynch - pure genius

[aestusmaris]

Hahaha! I was wondering what music would be put to this, bravo sir.

And as boonehams said, it is a excellent movie

[JoyGrenade]

Terrible. But it aroused a snicker.

[edonanarudone]

aww...that movie was so sad.

[SalasSnake]

whats the name of the song you used for this vid?

[Boonehams]

Believe it or not, the name of the song is...

[SPOILER for those who haven't seen it]

"The Stripper" by David Rose and His Orchestra.

[astoroth64]

OMG! Is the Professor Anthony Hopkins?

[Boonehams]

Yes it is. Despite what I did to this scene, the movie is excellent. I recommend it.

[ComfortEagleFilms]

Strangely enough, I think that David Lynch would get a real kick out of this.

[Boonehams]

I hope David Lynch does see this.

[balltongue666]

I was watching this film last night, and I was thinking: what kind of soundtrack would be inaproppriate in this film? Again, you did a fantastic job.

[Boonehams]

Thanks! I do what I can.

[acceptthis01]

They looked shocked, appalled and strangely aroused.

And apparently Treves loved Merrick's genitals.

[Crazyegg1234]

Sure this is somewhat disrespectful, but overall it is very funny and I don't really think it is that bad.

[Boonehams]

That's kind of the point for me doing these "Inappropriate Soundtracks." They fit, but they don't... if you get my meaning.

[Bealocwealm]

Oooh, ouch! Yeahhh, that'd be an inappropriate soundtrack right there! To Writeswithafist, yes -- Treves was profiting off of Merrick, and Merrick helped his career a lot. However, whether his intention was to use him is questionable.

(And the doctors who summarized the minutes in the society were quite scandalized; they refused to address the display.)

[pizzaroryshow]

Good Lord! There is a special place in Hell for folks like you sir! And it is called Heaven!

[writeswithafist]

I couldn't freaking stop laughing!

Actually, I think the music is rather apt, because Dr. Treves was using, even profiting, in a way, off Merrick...similar to the way a stripper is used by club owners. And the docs in the audience were just as riveted as stripping audiences. Or so I've been told. I've never been to one of those places. For reals.
