Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Wicked Little Town

[RemoteRecorder]

Sorry, it was 4549 Kingston Road, and the Coffee Diner is no longer there. Looks like an abandoned Blockbuster Video store occupies that site now.

[RemoteRecorder]

Ninja Assassin: The entire film was shot in Toronto, except for the various Bilgewater scenes, which were all shot in different sections of an abandoned restaurant in Markham, just north of Toronto, and "Wig in a Box", which was shot in a trailer park in south Mississauga. The Tommy/Hedwig finale was done at The Warehouse nightclub on Queen's Quay and Jarvis. "Wicked Little Town" was shot at The Coffee Diner at 3549 Kingston Rd. Not sure if it's still there. Check Google Maps.

[MadamEdea]

this movie holds a special place in my heart <3

[TheLizyBorden]

Such a wonderful movie and this song...my god...LOVE

[brunoblood]

You know, the sun is in your eyes

And hurricanes and rains

And black and cloudy skies

[Agustason]

Lovely John. Those at short Mt are proud and so am I.

[WorldWideDarkskingur]

Cult Classic Love this movie love the directer... Short Bus!!! I even had the chance of going to the the IFC singalong show it was fun ..love it ;)

[RichieD1783]

Cause We are talking to Phil Collins' people.. but then again... aren't we all?

[devilangel7137]

Gosh I love this movie! Michael Pitt is my one true love! I was looking up films he was in and I found this and my mum was like THAT'S A GREAT MOVIE!!! Now, MY FAVOURITE!!

[BoyDotComNY]

I love this song. Can't stop listening to it!

[ThatLadyMai]

6 people forward and 5 people back had an angry inch.

[bigbignigs]

How can you not love this??

[knightsintodreams]

i'm in love with his head-tilts!!

[Scienide72]

God Damn, I love this movie, especially this song...but here's a grips: I hate it when Hedwig is compared to Rocky Horror...jeezus h. arse-humping christ, this movie is deeeeeep. RH only had a silly plot with a cross-dresser! (and some pretty awesome tunes). there.

[shedog100]

@Scienide72people compare them cuz they are both popular cult classics i love both equally

[XxlostXinXsterioxX]

I listened to this 5 times and didnt hear "Oh Lady Luck has lead 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 And if you've got no other choice You know you can follow my voice Through the dark turns and noise Of this wicked little town" So im kinda confused... help.

[MidgetHumper93]

@XxlostXinXsterioxX The lyrics are for the full version of the song i think, this one's shortened for the film :)

[klickenpod]

"..give it up, Kwang."



[LivewireRemote]

This scene was filmed in a doughnut shop on Kingston Road and Morningside in the east end of Toronto on Aug 9, 2000. It was the last song recorded for the movie.

I was the sound recordist for all the vocals in the film, which were done live to pre-recorded instrumental tracks. In most films, they would just lip-sync, but John Cameron Mitchell wanted all the vocals to be live.

[aspectaleatoire]

@LivewireRemote What an experience! Congratulations! Yes, I knew about that because they mention it in the documentary I think, but thanks so much for sharing your experience. JCM is very talented, focused and passionate. I love his work!

[snowballou]

@LivewireRemote

Barbra Streisand does the same. It makes sense as they are acting and every take is different and one little moment can make a big difference. SOUND. You guys don't get enough credit and that's coming from camera! Nothing can lose me in a movie quite like bad sound. You did a great job on this movie.

[RachelHC]

@LivewireRemote well done. Best film/soundtrack of the past 20 years, at least. Love it.

[NinjaAssassin874]

@LivewireRemote That's incredible! I didn't know this scene was filmed in my city. That's insane!

[icncount2g]

Kwang Yi Really Rocks the House

[leofracassi]

oh my god it's rachel griffiths

[morganaloren]

My favorite song of the movie...

I love the lyrics of the version sung by Tommy at the finale, but hedwig's performance makes me cry everytime.

and I wish someday someone could sing to me like that...

yes, fate is vicious and cruel.

[SnowCrasher]

You gotta admit, despite how ridiculous they looked, they were actually a good band.

Kudos to the ladies!

[Lanceisabeach]

Oh this is my favorite

[delorianchase]

I actually have performed the play as Hedwig in Oklahoma City.. had a 6week run 3nights a week and didn't think it would go that well but surprisingly enough we were sold out each night.. Was one hell of show to be in and very liberating as a performer

[aspectaleatoire]

@delorianchase That's amazing! Thanks for sharing! 

[shedog100]

@delorianchase Omg! Thats so awesome i wish i could play that role one day but being a chick and everything kinda gets in the way.

[toriboy25]

@shedog100 from what I understand women have played this role before

I think after Les Mis this is my fav song from a musical

[youvebeenerined]

Best line of this entire scene. . and possibly the movie. .

"We are talking to Phil Collins' people. .

. . but then again. . aren't we all?" :) I LOVE IT! Also beautiful song!

[aspectaleatoire]

@youvebeenerined Yes!

[SudoPollo]

"Kwang Yi on guitar".. x)

[magicianmike1234]

0:06 is hilarious.

[jordan1980]

lol "...give it up kwang."

[jdivision91]

fantastic track and movie...

[jettafiend20]

I could listen to this whole album allll the fuckinggggg time!!! holy shit.

[StaunchComic]

i LOVE THIS SONG!

[coleycoleyface420]

what is the actors name that plays Tommy????

[Niceguy200489]

@coleycoleyface420 Michael Pitt

[THADI0US]

Quang lee didn't like this video.

[lledlaw]

She is beautiful. Not because of her face, or her clothes, but the way art was CREATED, the way her heart rose through her voice, true beauty is rare, and I'm glad the writer got to share Hedwig with the world. Her light shines so brightly, it's something to aspire to in a would so full darkness that refuses light. I feel like I need to shine like her, in my own way. God, he made this play and the movie for 16 year old gay boys everywhere.

[coleycoleyface420]

@lledlaw im not a 16 yr old gay boy. but i totally agree amazing voice!!

[klickenpod]

Mr. Kurt Cobain.. now, that kid's got a future! ROFL

[AzumangaDaioh1fan]

@klickenpod That's not funny.

[klickenpod]

@AzumangaDaioh1fan Nice, then don't take is as the joke is was meant to be in the film.

[AzumangaDaioh1fan]

@klickenpod I don't see it as a joke, but whatever. =p

[TheGoetiaQueen]

Is there anything out there that can compare to this? I need a list of movies that are just pure art like this.

[loganthegreat]

How about Quang Yee on the guitar ladies and gentlemen?! CRACKS ME UP!!!!

[kinoptika]

Kwahng-Yi ! ! ! ! !

[WHOHmanWHOH]

Give it up, Quang.

[Chelmoe]

The one person who disliked this is Quang Lee

[felldownonce1]

God this film rules. Pure genius.

[BalletBabyBoy]

Heartbreaking genius! Love you John...you make me cry every time!

[loganthegreat]

QUANG YEE ON THE GUITAR!

[eLsLasTsuMMer]

i love this clip...too bad this film i cant watch coz im searching in jakarta everywhere and still not found :-(

[tinklebit3000]

i love this song

[Alexisme1001]

Best song in the film, by far. Really hot Black guy at :55.

[twoyogurtpretzels]

cause we are talking to Phil Collins' people...but then again, aren't we all?

XD

[MrGsimms]

damn... start listening to one song, and it leads to another and another... and I gotta go to bed!! hedwig: A+

[Deaconblue2u]

What is so moving and touches ones soul about Hedwig is deeper than any loss or pain but it's the loss of self and the meaning of path to finding that where you have been is not truly your path and finally breaking down which happens at the end of Hedwig is when he/she recognizes there never was a need to find her soul mate she was already whole

[OnTheMidnightRadio]

How amazing is in the last scene her face on the hanky?

Is just like to say: ''I can put down my face when I want, but my soul is still and always in me.''

And her is a destroyed amazing soul.

[brix42]

this song will make you cry.if you need to cry , just think of this song. you dont even need to play it. if you know how to do it ......

[tzeqin]

khidir lagu ini utk kau \m/

[TheAndoroido]

[aldonasplin]

@TheAndoroido ja też !!!

[theallseeingoracle]

This is my favorite scene. I love it when he says, "give it up Kwahng."

[TheTeafor22]

I love this movie...and this may sound lame, but it made me feel like some one else felt like me for once...

[ZOOZ3R]

@TheTeafor22 I know exactly what you mean.

[jduval333]

from brazil.congratulations. good. thanks to

[Catconvention]

happy birthday John Cameron Mitchell

[deadweather1]

BUT THEN AGAIN ARENT WE ALL!

[TheCamera913]

i love it

[chu10rro]

I read this week in the New York Post that Hedwig is coming to Broadway with JCM. You guys don't know how excited I am. JCM and Co. are going to bring the house down!

[aspectaleatoire]

Jesus! That's fantastic news. Let's hope for someone to take a camera! I'm in Argentina and there's no way I'll be able to attend. John Cameron Mitchell is a genius! Are you going?

[chu10rro]

Argentina? That's where I'm from originally from (but now I reside in New York). I was told that Hedwig is being done now in Buenos Aires at a theater in Avenida Corrientes. I hope you were able to see it. Cheers!

[aspectaleatoire]

Yes! I actually have videos of the performance. Check them out! The play was set at the Roxy in Av. Niceto Vega. I don't know about Av. Corrientes. It was last year, maybe there's a new one this year. I'll google it. It was great but nothing compares to JMC in Broadway. Lucky bastard you! I'm happy for you! =D

[aspectaleatoire]

My God! It's true! They're playing it at an Av. Corrientes Theater named "Teatro de Autor". Yay! I'm going to go again. Thanks for the tip!

[chu10rro]

I'm happy for you too. Let us know your impressions of the new Buenos Aires production. Enjoy!

[chu10rro]

And yes, I am going to see JCM many, many times. I can't wait!

[curiousjedi]

@chu10rro - any further word on that? would love to see it with jcm- that would be madness.

[palacioed17]

@chu10rro Some one has to bring a camera!! I'm deeply in love with John Cameron Mitchell but I'm in Colombia and sadly I won't be able to attend.

[chu10rro]

@palacioed17 Sadly I haven't heard again about Hedwig coming to Broadway. Hopefully they are working on it. I'll post any news! :-)

[PaulalovesmusicW]

han är så bra!!

[r0ck5tarrM]

Love this song. Reminds me of my x. :(

[emocional90]

@AchromaticAdulation why not? she looks like a woman so i dont see the problem

[klaymen22]

@AchromaticAdulation I'm straight and i would hit that.

[gomika]

@AchromaticAdulation Hedwig was a girl tho

[AchromaticAdulation]

@gomika Riiiiiiiiiiight.......

[TheAlpheus3]

@AchromaticAdulation If you'd hit it, you'd hit it; has nothing to do with 'if' or 'gay'. After all, we are not the people we think we are ;-)

[AchromaticAdulation]

@TheAlpheus3 Hmmmmm......I never looked at it like that.

[AchromaticAdulation]

@TheAlpheus3

[cdftaurus]

How about Kwang Yi on guitar ladies and gentlemen? Give it up for Kwang Yi!

[flyingmojo5]

....give it up, kwang

[tennis7576]

OK, give it up, Kwang. LOL. One of the best lines EVER

[ratonbi]

[Ihateu9856]

[johnnynapalmiv]

[Jadiustark]

give it up kwang

[MaryTheSponge]

beautiful movie, amazing cast and music.

[hfealy]

This whole movie was beautiful. I've watched is umpteen times and still get goose bumps during a couple of the songs. The story was wonderfully written and of course the acting was superb!

[jasperpickering]

'Now that song was by Kurt Cobain. That kids got a future.'

Oooh I love it when they use forshadowing as a reference to stuff that has happened now.

But seriously RIP Kurt Cobain

[Adefeatedlanguage]

it's interesting also how Micheal Pitt kind of portrays kurt cobain in that movie last days.

[preshisangil]

is this song beautiful to anyone besides me?

[aspectaleatoire]

"And if you've got no other choice, you know you can follow my voice through the dark turns and noise of this wicked little town..."

:)

[MissKitae]

I think it's safe to say you're in good company.

[aspectaleatoire]

Heh. :) You take care, too.

[actron]

Oh yes, I'm with ya. This was one of my favorite songs in the movie.

[inulovedog]

@preshisangil I like the Tommy version better

[JackieBorelli]

@preshisangil absolutely, it seems so simple, and at the same time, such a gorgeous song

[Modrocker83]

awesome film!!!!this song is one of my favorites!!!

[deliriumintense]

is a good film

fabulous :)

[Dusty341]

Such a good film.

[ElanaVital83]

Koooool....

[honeygood2]

we need it to tour again! Its a cult classic already!

[maxhieliger]

'talking to Phil Collins' people"

Haw!!

[jamesbondaygee]

very pretty song isn't it? Nice harmony too!!

[Bumpusbill]

LMAO! I love quang yee. This movie is great! im glad i got to see it in the theaters. :-)

[mudball10]

thank you, both of you.

[cuchelo1]

When I saw this on stage, Michael Cerveris played Hedwig, and he was, of course, amazing... but John Cameron Mitchell is simply a genius. I wish this movie had been a bigger "success" only in terms of the amount of people being exposed to the sheer brilliance of the story, songs, characters.... everything. It's absolutely stunning.

[lordcsmith]

not sure how I feel about this, but I think Hedwig looks a lot like Juliette Lewis. Hmmm....

[aspectaleatoire]

Indeed!

[hfealy]

omg yes during the "wig in the box" song when hedwig was wearing the long blonde wig!

[xocrystalox19]

AHAHAHAHAH your so right!!

[RRRage]

I just love how that guy gets all bashful at 2:16

[mpahou]

Thank you... both of you.

[carepae]

i love this song!!!

[BrandiJ23]

She probably looks hottest in this scene. Such an amazing song.

[itsmirusong]

besttt

[snausages773]

Gorgeous. Thank you for posting!

[walldreams]

Hedwig would so appreciate you posting the lyrics. Maybe this'll help Tommy get 'em right.

[hfealy]

lol

[nunekhiia]

i love this song is so beautiful !!!!

[xypowerpop]

i love this song :)

[BaSkEtCaSe276]

Thank you for posting this! I love Hedwig!

[PracticePeace]

i love her voice this is the best ever thanks for posting for im a child of the sun

[aspectaleatoire]

Aw, honey! That was so beautifully written. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm missing one song, though. I'll upload it as soon as I can.

Take good care of yourself.

[aspectaleatoire]

Why should I? :p

Just kidding! I'd be glad to.
