TV Characters Sing Just For You, Vol. 3

Another long-awaited volume in the series. No, wait. I forgot.....no one was waiting for this. Boy, this one has been sitting on my hard drive forever. It's been finished for a long time, but it's another one of those compilations that I hate to do all that clean-up work on. Actually, now that I think about it, this one was finished even before Volume 1 was!

And no, you're not imagining it. I skipped over Volume 2. That one's finished also, but I'm not all that thrilled with it. I guess I kept it around thinking I would change it for the better, but it seems unlikely that I'll change any of the tracks on that one, so it'll probably make it's way onto the blog eventually (aren't you lucky?).

Well, in any case, you've got Volume 3 now and it's one of my favorite comps, so I hope you get some enjoyment out of it too!

Notes on the compilation:

This one probably has more variations in sound quality than most of my comps, but considering the number of different sources this one comes from, I hope you feel more charitable towards it!

#3-#5: Vampire Slayers, Warrior Princesses, and Teenage Witches - You're nowhere in this business without good subtitling!

#10: - Thanks to Skinny Robbie for this track!

#11: - This comes from the 1977 TV show starring Greg Evigan (later on B.J. & The Bear), Paul Shaffer (later on the David Letterman show), and Gabe Dell (previously in The Bowery Boys) as the Devil who offers the boys a 'year at the top' of the recording business if they sell him their souls. I don't think the show lasted a whole year, so I guess they suffered eternal damnation for nothing.

#12 & #13: - These are a bit of cheat (as is the Ricky Nelson track) in that these are the pop versions, but they were used on the shows, and they were sung by the characters, so it still fits the criteria. In the Bewitched episode, Boyce & Hart played themselves and in the I Dream of Jeannie episode they played characters Jeannie recruited to form a band. Actually, in the Bewitched episode, Samantha's cousin, Serena 'writes' 'I'll Blow You A Kiss' and wants Boyce & Hart to sing it. I considered using that version instead, but as much as I like Elizabeth Montgomery, I like the Boyce & Hart version better.

#14: - Thanks to the old Mondo Daddykin site for this track!

#17-#19: Three songs about transition and independence.

#17: I keep expecting Christopher Knight's voice to crack on this song!

#19: It may take several hearings to get used to the singing on this track. I know I still haven't gotten used to it. If the song weren't so good and she wasn't so earnest, it might be totally unlistenable, but it's hard to resist putting Katie Holmes on this comp. And we'll all feel more sympathetic towards her if it turns out that she's been Tom Cruise's hostage all this time.

#24: I'm having a little trouble remembering for sure whether this was from the reunion TV-Movie or from the original show, but I'm pretty sure it was from the movie.

#25: She actually sang this on the show! One of the few of those kind of musical numbers that weren't set pieces (like those by people like Flatt & Scruggs, Roy Clark, or Pat Boone, for instance).

#26 & #27: Two songs about violinists.

#31: A great off-the-cuff improvised jam session by the cast.
