West Side Story- Cool

The Jets try to play it cool after Riff's death. I think this is one of the best performed and arranged sequences of the film. Can you imagine expressing repressed anger through pirouette? Genius. And I love how they stare into the camera (supposedly where the Sharks are) in the end.

When ever I get angry, this is what I feel like doing

Love it too, and it's not even one of the better known songs from West. At least, it didn't make "sung to the tune of...." in Mad Magazine :-)

There is just something about the main singers eyes, and tone that has that overall chilling and eerie feel! I love it!!

Real coooooooooooll....... lol best part

This song makes much more sense after the rumble than before it- where it is in the stage play. "Gee Officer Krupke" and "Cool" are swapped round for the film, apparently because the producers thought it was wrong to have the comedy number just after the deaths of two of the main characters.
