I've got the songs from the musical version of Lost Horizon stuck in my head.

There's a really good reason that this movie has been all but forgotten.

This might be a good night to drink.

Oh God, what a gloriously bad movie. Actually, I think I might be thinking of the original. When did the musical come out?

I put the original right up there with The Vikings as the best of drunken weekend party fare.

Doo-OOOOOOOOOO-doo-dooooo

Oh, man...1974, maybe? Sally Kellerman, Michael York, Bobby Van, I forget the rest. The original was made in the 30s, I think, in black-and-white.

BOBBY VAN?!?

Okay, remind me to never EVER see the remake. The original b/w was an icon of glorious, entertaining cheesiness.

But seriously. The Vikings. Kirk Douglas. Kirk Douglas' chin. Tony Curtis. Janet Leigh. Those damn horns. You must watch it.

It could be worse. It could be Paint Your Wagon and Clint Eastwood singing as your earworm.

Actually, Clint Eastwood's singing is better than any of the songs in "Lost Horizon".

Too true. Too true.

You know, I have a painfully good memory for music. So, I've very pleased to state I can't remember any of the tunes in that gawdawful movie musical.

Except..."there's a lost horizon, waiting to be found...."

You know, everytime that movie's aired, James Hilton spins in his grave.

I can help your memory, if you like.

Or you can send me $10.

No, please no. I still shudder at the thought of Sally Kellerman and frollicing with all those kids in Shangra-La.

The world is a circle without a beginning nobody knows where the circle ends la la la la....

35 years now, and I still haven't been able to scrub my brains...thanks SO VERY MUCH for mentioning this.

When you look at yourself, do you like what you see? If you like what you see, you're the person you should be. 'Cause your reflection reflects in everything you do, and everything you do reflects on you.
