Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Exquisite Corpse

I've got it all sewn up
a hardened razor-cut
scar-map across my body
and you can trace the lines
through misery's design
that map across my body

a collage
I'm all sewn up
a montage
I'm all sewn up

A random pattern with a needle and thread
the overlapping way diseases are spread
to a tornado body
With a hand gernade head
and the legs are two lovers entwined

Inside I'm hollowed out
Outside's a paper shroud
And all the rest's illusion
That there's a will and soul
That we can wrest control
From chaos and confusion

a collage
I'm all sewn up
a montage
I'm all sewn up

The automatist's undoin'
the whole world starts unscrewin'
as time collapses and space warps
You see decay and ruin
I tell you,

This was filmed in a former restaurant in Markham, Ontario (just north of Toronto) in July 2000.  All the four Bilgewater's scenes were actually shot in different corners of the same restaurant. The last song, Midnight Radio, was saved to the end, so they could paint the interior of the room white. All the vocals in the songs are live. (the instruments were recorded in a studio in NYC and played back on set. I was the location vocal sound recordist for the film. An amazing experience.

I got to see this live about a year ogo and it was utterly amazing. I got a lapdance from hedwig and I almost died right there in my chair.

The best song of the movie. But then again, aren't they all?

I watched Hedwig on Netflix a few weeks ago as a recommendation based on my previous selections. I've been haunted ever since, to the point that I HAD to own the DVD. Since the day I bought it I've shown it to half a dozen neighbors, all of whom loved it. I cannot get enough of it. I thank everyone involved with the movie for creating a 21st century masterpiece.

It's like the Rocky Horror of the 2000s. I love it!

I felt exactly the same way-got the movie from Netflix, and went out and bought it the next day. I've seen it live once, and it was one of the best productions I've ever seen, and that's coming from someone who's seen a ton of shows. LOVE Hedwig!

@coleycoleyface420 i used to own a smaller version--they gave them out as promotional items when the film first came out. i have no idea what has happened to it since, but on the back the URL listed was "get-hed DOTCOM' :)

Isn't it amazing how this movie is what brought my family together?

Still to this day when this movie comes on my small family will curl up on the couch with popcorn and blankets and watch this movie reciting pretty much every word in the movie to ourselves.

My favorite movie of all time.

John Cameron Mitchell was born for this movie. And the whole film is so effective, this scene is one of my fav.
