for a week in high school, i dated a guy who drove a jeep. we maybe shared ten words during that week. we'd just drive around listening to tull and elton john. when a good tull moment hit him, he would lean over and whisper in my ear, "i like it when he plays his flute." then we'd drive to the park, and he would turn "saturday night's alright for fightin'" up full-blast, jump out of the jeep, and start dancing on a parkbench. the only lyrics he would ever sing were, "saturday! saturday! sa-tur-day!"

i thought he was so cool.

I've heard that Celine Dion has performed "I Wish" in her Vegas revue.  Does anyone know what she replaced the "little nappy headed boy" line with?  Since I assume she didn't do the song as a blackfaced drag-king with a knotty weave.

It really is a good movie, subtle and well-directed, not the typical sci-fi "B" movie of the period, and I highly recommend it.  Based on a novel by the same guy responsible for Day of the Triffids. It was released in 1960 when I was five, and the TV commercials scared the living crap out of me!  I finally saw it on TV when I was in high school. And about 10 years ago I saw it at the Castro during one of their Cinemascope fests, ona  double bill with Forbidden Planet (surely you've seen that? :wink: ) With the Castro audience, VOTD had quite the gay subtext.
