Shock Treatment In My Own Way

[@Pr3tty_daii]

This is one of my favorite songs from the movie. I love her voice, it's so soft but deep at the same time.

[@allaboutdmagic]

Yeah, I think that Shock Treatment does seem very ahead of it's time in it's media constructed live-in enviroment, people being crafted as iconic celebrities theme. Maybe that's why it didn't do as well in 1981.

[@notsusan]

this movie is basically the same age as Kim Kardashian, holy shit

[@MsGigglesluv]

I say it’s ahead of its time also because nowadays literally anyone can be celebrity thanks to social media and KZbin. All you need is a camera, editing skills, a channel, and entertaining content. Just look at Jenna Marbles or the Dolan Twins.

Even more so now.

I woke up with this song in my head and had to listen to it right away,

[@RealBradMiller]

Me too!

[@cupojon]

Listened to this like a dozen times in the last couple days. So Good. Love Jessica Harper.

[@geminidreamatl26]

This is actress Jessica Harper singing. i love her voice. talked to her a few times in email and she signed the shock treatment dvd and cd for me as well as patricia quinn who plays nation in the movie.

[@josephsmall4270]

That's cool.

[@ohcliffy]

Great vocals, great music, still holds its own today for sure!!

[@phookadude]

The commentary on the dvd is great, about how the movie prophesised reality tv lol. It's a great movie on it's own, probably would have done better if they had dropped any connection to rhps.

[@SteelSkylineGlassSky]

I love her voice :) reminds me of The Carpenters. Also like Jessica Harper in Phantom of the Paradise & Suspiria!

[@imaginaryfairie]

She has such a lovely voice!

[@tracyeric07]

@shiftaling I like Harper's voice better than Susan's. Grant it Susan had a very light innocent voice-which I guess fits Janet Weiss and Jessica has a deep strong voice which fits Janet Majors but...I like her a bit better.

[@Elric33239]

But the "Fast Food is nutritious" sales pitch, as promoted by corps like McDonalds and Burger King, was also years down the road, so I strongly agree that it was a masterpiece that came out too soon to find its audience. I admit that I "didn't get it" when it first came out but it grew on me over time.

[@robroy9829]

I totally loved this movie. Almost as good as Rocky Horror. I feel that the sound track let it down a bit other wise it would have been just as good as Rocky Horror. It is also amazing how not many people even know about this movie. Just SAD.

[@Elric33239]

She IS Jessica Harper from "Suspiria" and "Phantom of the Paradise!"

[@edtackpaddywack]

Loved the movie, LOVED the music. Loooove Jessica Harper

[@Elric33239]

"Bitchin' in the Kitchen Part 2!" Janet is beginning to see Brad as an obstacle! For those who saw the Rocky Horror Stage Show (or saw the edited DVD extra "Once In Awhile"), this is the reverse of Brad's "disillusionment" expressed there. Interesting how O'Brien created depolarized situations in both stories!

[@jenniferjones3273]

The lovely and dearly missed Rik Mayall!

[@thesurpriseshow6573]

Not knocking Richard O'Brien's genuine creativity/talent- the most underrated 20th Century composer -influenced I believe by old Ella Fitzgerald song, "Always True To You In My Own Fashion", a 1948 Cole Porter show-tune, written for "Kiss Me, Kate". In the song, singer protests that she's always faithful to her main love "in her own way"- even mentions "Ritz", R.O.B.'s nickname! Some versions of the lyrics, even reference "Threepenny Opera"'s "Mack the Knife"- Cole Porter & Kurt Weill, who knew?

[@sammowastaken]

Is it wrong that I'm starting to enjoy ST's music more than RHPS's?

[@GetRekt-bw6pu]

Not at all!

[@SteelSkylineGlassSky]

Yeah I know that. I said I also like her in Phantom of the Paradise and Suspiria!

[@danielleasantewaaforjour8415]

If only you knew how to win some prizes If only you knew how to play If you could sleep nights Stop your crying Then you might find out I still love you in my own way If that's not enough then I am so sorry I met you It was almost like leading you on But there's more to it all Than just wringing your heart out over something That keeps on going wrong So don't tell me you love me How am I supposed to know what that means? No, don't sell emotion You can't find devotion If you're falling apart at the seams I hope that you smile When you reach your conclusion I hope that you'll know just what to say But if it should mean that the party's over... You should know that I still love you You should know that I still love you You should know that I still love you In my own way In my own way In my own way In my own way

Whoever sings these songs has got a great voice.

this movie is awsome nell campbell is hott in this movie i luv her shes my idol

[@TV247]

This song and her voice grew on me.

[@danimeza6280]

Great guitar a little low but it works brilliantly. ..

[@bwills4k]

The fact that it's so subdued in the mix is what gives it such a great quality imo

[@randomchannel1960]

She will never be Janet to me, but she will always be Phoenix

[@Scott93205]

She's Suzy Banyon!

Today for the first time I come across with this movie.I didn't know it exists.Now yes thanks to Wikipedia.

[@WonderfulLizardOfOz]

I think this is my favorite Shock Treatment song.

[@tonyb0904]

Is it just me, or is this portrayal of Janet a lot stronger and less whiny than Susan S? Just wondering

[@angellopes9353]

I guess isn't just you.

[@NationGentaObrien]

@TheCGIMaster Ah, that'd be EPIC!!!!!!!! Or Eddie Izzard XD

[@tracyeric07]

@allaboutdmagic That's exactly why it didn't do so well. I'm sure there was some sort of reality tv in the early 80s that I can't think of at the moment, but reality tv and iconic celebrity crowd pleasers. The whole concept-mental health as something to watch was literally 20 years too early. If this came out in 2001 it would have done better. I'm sure there are fast food commercials during Dr. Drew's programming.

[@sammowastaken]

@MATTMAN92ish You know what I think it is? I think it's just that RHPS music is so overdone, for me at least.

[@Elric33239]

That could have been intentional but a valid point.

[@Elric33239]

I misunderstood your posting. I was linking the first statement with the second thinking that you said "SHE's like Jessica Harper." Sorry about that.

[@MATTMAN92ish]
