I'd only heard it done on the Alive album with Mike Kobluk still in the Trio. A bit dated, perhaps, but still a treat to hear. Thanks for posting the link. 'Ray |

09 Apr 08 - 01:01 AM (#2310828) Subject: ADD: Another Movie Star (Chad Mitchell Trio) From: GUEST This is what I get from the link above. I think they made a few small changes (updates) to what was on the LP. **************************************** Another Movie Star (Songwriter ??) (spoken) Do you worry about Vietnam? Do you fear the NATO split? Do you dream about the national debt? That doesn't help a bit! Don't fear Red China's bomb threat. Don't cry for the old UN. Just remember that the Republicans Are comin' back again. (sung) They know that what this country really needs is Another movie star No one else can steal those leads like Another movie star Ron Reagan is the governor George Murphy in D.C. Now to complete the picture All we need is Sandra Dee 'Cause bonny Ronny Reagan knows experience pays So California better get set for Death Valley Days Won't it be great when we can say All the Senate is a stage Put politics where it belongs On the amusement page And though our next President may not have scored In the Senate or Supreme Court or the Cabinet my Lord Hey won't it be fun to know he won an Academy Award Because the country needs another movie star. (spoken) Margaret Smith, you better chase Tiny Tim's in the race And over in France, won't it be groovy Bardot as Premier, DeGaulle's in a movie! Tuesday Weld, you'll make it, too When Justice Douglas marries you Even England's makin' the scene Ringo's next in line for Queen (sung) Oh, gee, it's nice to see the GOP With such a grand old plan They may not have a leader any more, but They've got a leading man And now we'll be safe, for if someone slips And the finger on that little old red button was tripped Why, it simply wouldn't matter, folks, it wasn't in the script That's why the country needs another movie star. Now Lyndon is smarter And Hubert's more clever But the GOP knows Movies are better than ever So everybody sing The stars and stars forever... (spoken) Well after all George Murphy danced his way into the Congress And Ronald Reagan acted his way into a governorship And George Hamilton...well, he did the best he could (sung) 'Cause we need a movie A groovy groovy movie Hey don'tcha love a pretty movie star ************************************* For what it's worth, I think Tom Lehrer's song about George Murphy was much better. |

Did I forget to include my name in that post? or was it deleted as an unintended consequence of the editing process?

12 Apr 08 - 11:56 AM (#2313716) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mitchell Trio: Another Movie Star From: Jim Dixon Various sources say the song title is actually WHAT THIS COUNTRY REALLY NEEDS IS ANOTHER MOVIE STAR, written by June Reizner, a.k.a. June Reizner Perse. ASCAP lists it as "WHAT THIS COUNTRY REALLY NE". Evidently they, like Mudcat, have a limit to the number of characters they can put in a title! |
