Been a fan of John Cameron Mitchell & Stephen Trask's "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" both the Film and the soundtrack!
Eu adoro "Wicked Little Town" ambos o solo/melody et the accompaniment, les deux, la mélodie et accompagnement sont beaux et je sais chaque barre musicale de cela! Je souris encore... Et aime! And I am still smiling!
I'm a HUGE HUGE HUGE Hed Head, but today I just heard a song called "Night Time" by a Jazz pianist named Oscar Peterson. You can find the song on YouTube and tell me that the piano intro isn't almost exact. I don't mean to call theft or anything like that and I mean no ill will towards JCM and Mr. Trask but seriously check it out
@actor41 I think if you had only heard the Tommy Gnosis version, it wouldn't have the impact it does after hearing the Hedwig version first. Just my thoughts...
This movie is so emotional to me... it has symbolic messages that the "average" person wouldn't be able to pick up on. I relate in so many ways to the character Hedwig even though I have a penis ;). I've watched this movie probably 2000 time's literally and never get sick of it.
this movie and all songs are great,and really im not gay,but i love pure raw talent and people who can be themselves. awesome movie, love the songs wait i already said that.
Hah, I think the Phil Collins joke is one of the funniest in the movie. You ask "Why would we be talking to Phil Collins' people?" Hedwig is making the statment that we're all "talking to so-and-so" or in other words "about to hit it big." Or at least we say these things to other people and ourselves in order to feel better about where we are in our lives. I dunno. I laughed.
Its nice,Really,I Found it odd at first how i can go from listening to death metal,To a song by hedwig,And manage to understand it.But a great song,Great movie.
@Quinz539er haha, arent we all... I havent figured that part out yet, what does that mean? we all have dreams we think will happen? what does it mean to you?
but why would we all be talking to Phil Collinses people? thats the part I dont understand. dont be vague, I know Phil Collins was a big star in 80s where this is set but I dont get it... or maybe I dont see something I should see...
dude, you really overthinking it. its a stupid joke. theyre talking to phil collins people about maybe getting signed. the joke is by todays standards thats pretty lame, but then these random people in this crappy diner are all like 'ooo! wow! Phil Collins'!
I worked on this film. This scene was shot at the Coffee Diner, 3549 KIngston Road in Scarborough, a suburb on the east side of Toronto on Aug 9, 2000.
I agree entirely. Tommy's version is better because the lyrics are more heart-wrenching, and the background singers are better. If Hedwig sang tommy's version it'd be the best.
The army town mentioned in the song is Junction City, KS right outside of Ft. Riley, KS. I was stationed there for (4) years. Lots of Korean wives because we all ended up doing tour of duty in South Korea sooner or later. Anyone artistic would NOT have fit into Junction City, KS. Manhattan, KS is there also and is a college town.
Could someone please explain to me what does (s)he mean when (s)he says "we are talking to Phill Collins' people.But then again ... aren't we all ?".Why we all are ? Don't get his point.
If you think about it they were most likely the outcast on the base... Korean women and an obvious yet beautiful transsexual... I don't think the regular wives would like them very much.
I love this movie. It's really one of my all-time favorites. And I had my 67 yr old mother watch it. The story is so universal--she LOVED it. So much so that I took her to a local theater to see Hedwig when it was playing. Love JCM AND Steven Trask. Beautiful music, incredible songs.
It was actually first a stage show in various drag bars in pieces, and then eventually became an entire musical production, and then became a movie which is very different from the whole thing. And yes, all the songs were included, most of them longer.
I know the story. John c. mithell and ( i never remember the name) the guitarist met on a plane and decided to make up this stage show. the first times in the various drag bars they didn't have so much success. John used to pull up his hair, a thing never does a drag queen. but than in that theather in NY they have so much success that they had the show every day. John couldn't bore it anymore and so there were different Hedwig. So the movie. The best musical i ever watch into my entire life.
It started as improv. JCM started throwing this around NYC tranny-rock clubs as a series of workshops, with Trask providing the music. Then they turned it into a play, then a movie.
I think we have a winner...This movie is state of the art transexual romantic comedy! It will break your heart and then make you spit up with laughter. And this song, Wicked Little Town, is for anyone who ever stood in their backyard PRAYING anyone could see them. I took my Italian, Catholic Grandmother to see this and she pissed her panties!! Although she really didnt know what the hell it was about, she requested to see it again. If that aint love and devotion I dont know what is?!?
This movie is genuis. Years ago I rented this movie without knowing anything about it. Wow. What a great surprise. John Cameron Mitchell knocked it out of the ballpark with this one and his portrayal of Hedwig was simply genuis.
I don't remember this scene from the movie.

There are important lyrics missing in the movie/video version of the song. On the soundtrack version there are extra lyrics:
"Oh Lady, luck has led you here
and they're so twisted up
they'll twist you up. I fear.
the pious, hateful and devout,
you're turning tricks til you're turned out,
the wind so cold it burns,
you're burning out and blowing round."
