Mitch and Mickey - A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow

[kokennut]

I love this movie and all the songs! I don't care what anyone says!!!

[CecilyHeron]

I think if we didn't know it's a bit of satire we'd not bat an eyelid and enjoy it shamelessly, acknowledging it as a great little song. Let's be honest, so many folky songs from the 70s are just as trite/cringey if we listen to the lyrics. We've all seen on TV so many sweet young musicians from those times with badly-combed hair, singing about distant lands, fair maidens, a few analogies thrown in about love spanning the breadth of an ocean. But I love it all, cheesey or not!

[MrBobbybrus]

"The Mighty Wind" is of course a mockumentary, a spoof, a take-off, but on the other hand it isn't. It a true to life representation of what probably could have been and is comical only in the sense that it portrays characters that are not far removed from real people we all know. We must believe these characters must be fairly close to actual people and actual performers. Even though they do not exist, and never did, we might still wish they had and do. The music is powerful and evoking.

Tap into America!

people are not their images. in life we do few things consistently competently. In the movie theirlives were nothing to sing about. yet, out of the chaos they made something beautiful. as with a flower from a cactus. it's alright to like this song. there is a time for the sentimental thing it represents. it's a pretty song and a thing of beauty is a joy forever. people sing along to it. and it sounds like it belongs to the folk era.

[londondendy]

i simply love this song

[NothingSacred27]

Thanks for the clip, I wish I had seen this live!

"Is it wrong to love these songs?" God, no.

This movie is best defined as as satire by a group of people who genuinely love the music they are making.  That's why the songs are so well written and performed.

[AutoPilate]

Ah, the best kind of parody... the kind that pokes fun, by definition, of course, but also demonstrates the good things of what it mocks.

Put simply: this song not only spoofs romantic folk songs, but it IS a romantic folk song in its own right.  And it's... beautiful.

Brilliant!

:43 OMG A DOUBLE RAINBOW A DOUBLE COMPLETE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY <3

[sesquipedalian22]

[chrisparsonlives]

[StrawberryBoy100]

@chrisparsonlives

What??? How???

[smartalek1]

@chrisparsonlives "i like how nobody notices that this song is about apocalypse"

Huh.

Spose that could be because...

...it isn't?

Or anything like it?

P'raps you're thinking of REM's "It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)"?

[contactolaura]

My husband and I love the movie, the songs, the actors, everything!

[Cheeky0x0]

This song should have been recorded as a real one from Say John Denver and Joan Baez....or John Denver and Mary from Peter, Paul, and Mary back in the

70's. That would have been wonderful. I Just love this song.

[iisgonnasmackurface]

@ECN87 alright.... gaaaaaaaay.......

[bluecrab2u]

This song has an underlying seriousness to it and contains real feeling. Gets me _every_ time.

[fahs]

Is it wrong to actually LIKE this song? Knowing that the movie was a spoof and all, it is just so pretty

[MatthewMuhammad]

Not at all! This is a really good song.

[Mindputer]

@MatthewMuhammad Ummmm... Actually it is! VEEEEERY WRONG!!!

[Jakeqc]

@MatthewMuhammad fuckin' a

[johnyzero2000]

@fahs Absolutely not! This is a wonderful song, it may be corny but it turned out beautiful.

[BraniusBalki]

"wha happened", this song is for the ages and if any others seek to usurp, "I don't think so".

[Astralgroveler]

I am writing better songs currently for Jon Anderson, I must admit though that it did bring me to tear s more than once. I will notify you when the superior product is uploaded. Then you will ask "Wha happened?" Sorry Mr Mckean, you may be a better actor, but...

[TheViolaPower1]

This is the first movie I loved that contained folk music. Usually i hate folk, but this movie changed my life.

[llriv]

This song is so absolutely, utterly, and undeniably cheesy....and yet somehow they make it work. Kudos.

[MatthewMuhammad]

Lol, I know

[dancophobe1]

I love this song! So pretty. Not to mention this is a great movie. I love doing imitations of all the wacky characters.

[MatthewMuhammad]

I know. This could have been an 'actual' folk song from the era they were set in. The movie is genius. I love so many great lines from it.

"We go out there, we do the song we're known for, we get it out of the way and then, 'hey, here's the icing on the cake.' "

"What's the icing?"

"Well the icing is the rest of the act. "

"That's the cake."

"No, that's the dressing. "

[beavis4play]

great picture.......did you take it?

[MatthewMuhammad]

Thanks. Unfortunately, I didn't capture that amazing picture.

[normvb]

Wow. Can you tell me where you got it? I'd love to buy the print!
