SHOCK TREATMENT - Lullaby (1981)

SHOCK TREATMENT - Lullaby (1981) ... my favorite song from the movie!

LYRICS:

Nation McKinley: I feel the heat from your skin
And the stubble on your chin
You're no good

Cosmo McKinley: You're no good

Nation McKinley: You've got dirt on your hands
And everybody understands
You're no good

Cosmo McKinley: Mmmm...you're no good

Nation McKinley: Oh, what a joke

Cosmo McKinley : What a joke

Nation McKinley: You feel like choking
You play for broke

Cosmo McKinley: You play for broke

Nation McKinley: He'll leave you smoking

Cosmo McKinley: Oh, romance is not a children's game

Nation McKinley: But you keep going back
It's driving you insane

Janet Majors: Drift into the Treacle deep
Slip into its silent depths
(Go to sleep)
With your everything akimbo
Float into the sandman's limbo

Nurse Ansalong: Night night

Rest Home Ricky: Night night

Nurse Ansalong: It's time for bye-byes
It's been a great day, thanks a heap
Now it's time for everyone to go to sleep

Studio Audience: Night night
It's time for bye-byes
It's been a great day, thanks a heap
Now it's time for everyone to go to sleep

This is my favorite songs from the movie.

@wickedshyn

I totally agree with you! :)

I love Cosmo and Nation (very obvious incestuous relationship) in this movie as much as I love Riff Raff and Magenta (not too obvious incestuous relationship, but somehow more sexy) from Rocky, but I really hated the Janet from Shock Treatment! She sang like a man... This new Janet practically makes me hate this movie... I tried, but it's too hard to avoid all her scenes... (I only like Patricia, Richard and Nell.)

@jccjccjoanne i read somewhere that the idea is that they're actually husband and wife and just pretend they are brother and sister for the cameras. also from the "script" of the Old Queen, apparently he was totally with Magenta because Transylvania is weird like that...i can deal with the new Janet, it felt more like the original stage janet

Jessica Harper has a fabulous voice, it's as smooth as honey. Pardon my French but, wtf is wrong with you people?

Richard and Pat's voices are gorgeous too, I could listen to them all day. I think Jessica and Richard have more skills and control than Pat though.

@BillLeonJr She does have a deeper voice than Susan, but I do think it fits with the nature of the story (they switched up who wore the pants in the couple from RHPS, if you noticed). Jessica has more of the rocker voice in her. I don't think the songs in ST would've been good with a higher pitched Janet here. The more sultry, deep, take charge voice helped the songs along here.

@jccjccjoanne Janet sings like a man, and Neil sings like a woman (sometimes)... i think it actually makes the movie even BETTER. :3
