BATMAN Heroes & Villains album

A little different blog this time. What if an album was put out of songs with the names of Batman hero and villain characters. I named it after a Beach Boys song I decided not to use. The last track I included for the punchline of the song and I thought it was amusing.

WHAM! Sons of Jack and Albert 1990

  Wham! were huge in the 1980s. When they broke up George Michael's career soared. Even though Andrew Ridgeley was half of Wham! when I would mention his name people would ask "Who?". If I replied he was "the other one from Wham!" people understood. The same year Michael released L isten Without Prejudice Vol.1  Ridgeley released his solo album Son of Albert . I chose three of Ridgeley's songs for this: "Shake" (which was a single from the album), "Baby Jane" and "Red Dress" (which has Michael on backing vocals). https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCHnLE0OxajFoVCvBXRdUERbUvRqe2RNk&si=JrjyUkQfyxejE1Dl

  Panic Room is another movie that could have been quite different looking than what we know today. Before Jodie Foster was cast in the led Nicole Kidman had already filmed for three weeks but had to leave because of an aggravated knee injury.

One other surprising bit of original casting is that Dwight Yoakam's role was originally offered to Tool's lead singer Maynard James Keenan. Director David Fincher had wanted him after directing Keenan in a music video.

Breakfast at Tiffany's starring Marilyn Monroe 1961

          It is hard to imagine the movie  Breakfast at Tiffany's  without Audrey Hepburn. Her image as Holly Golightly has been on posters, t-shirts and just about anything else you can buy. However when the author of "Breakfast at Tiffany's", Truman Capote, heard that she going to be cast in an adaptation of his book he thought she was terribly miscast. He had wanted Marilyn Monroe to play his lead character. She was offered the role but was advised against it. A young Steve McQueen was offered the male lead but was unavailable. The role that I would like to see recast is Mickey Rooney as Mr. Yunioshi. Couldn't they have gotten someone more appropriate like Alec Guiness or Marlon Brando? The original director was to have been John Frankenheimer.      If they had gone with those original choices the film could have been quite different. I believe Hepburn was responsible for Givenchy designing her character's wardrobe. Henry Mancini was a frequent collaborator
