For the Want Of A Nail

[malvavisco10]

Need I say it? 'Glee' practically ripped off the concept of this movie.

[nulka333]

@malvavisco10 that's what I wrote on Glee forum just yesterday!

[gudatine]

They did a great performance and I'm fascinated that they used a great song of Todd Rundgren from his "Nearly Human' album '89. He has done many albums, soundtracks in movies and tv shows.. Thank you for uploading this and be sure to check out Todd's other songs...he's all over you tube, just type in his name and/or Utopia.. eg. Todd Rundgren - Want of a Nail. thanks ;-D

[MusicGod2008]

they did their good singing on this

[ManticoreL7]

It's a shame Anna Kendrick and Alana Allen were missing for this performance. :-\

[Maestrojosh87]

@ManticoreL7 Uh... remember they were both severely injured minutes earlier?

[AbePagodaCLC]

Then you definitely need to watch the original. Do a search for "Want of a Nail" and "Todd Rundgren"

[RentHead56]

Idina Menzel did the background vocals for this right?

[jasobres]

@RentHead56 That's correct, along with fellow Rent cast member Aisha de Haas.

[jasobres]

@RentHead56 Also a majority of the musicians were in the original Rent band, including Tim Weil (piano/keyboards), Daniel A. Weiss (guitar/keyboards), Kenny Brescia (guitar/banjo), and Jeff Potter (drums).

[LadyVenom24]

is that girl Anna Kendrick (the creepy 1 w/the blk wig at the end) is Bella's friend from Twilight? o_0

[DHLuvr]

@LadyVenom24 Yes.

[sisterdebmac]

@LadyVenom24

Yep. :-)

[mohinderbauer]

Glee before Glee.

[subliteral]

Dude. Even the gay version of this song is awesome. Todd Rundgren freakin' rules.

[Wordless06]

Thank God! I've been looking for this for forever!

[stavrosteve]

Why hasn't Graff made more movies?  This had to have made it's budget back and is I'm sure it's still selling.

[jaiboog2006]

LOVE THIS I ALWAYS LOVED CAMP!!!

[atomik4568]

I love this film - and yes...I collect original cast albums...x

[alandhopewell]

Never saw the film, but a wonderful cover of a great Todd Rundgren song.

[Swimdeep]

Absolutely perfect fade-out. The visuals are a huge part of what makes this song so fun. Thank you, thank you, a million times thank you Cheeky.
