Sound of Music too I think

[@velvetbooks9099]

What I really love about these songs is that they show very accurately the differences between ways of making music in the 60's, for Amber, and the other two girls' version, it is very inspired by the sounds of little Peggy March, Lesley Core, and Joannie Summers. And for the Dynamites' version, it's clear how they are a representation of the power trios of Motown Records, such as The Supremes, The Marvelettes, and even The Ronettes. I have always loved that detail about this part

[@laminage]

Excellent point! In The UK alot of Boyband/Girlband Icons do "Cover Versions" of songs by Chic, Diana Ross, Dan Hartman, Adina Howard and even Freak Me By Silk that went to Number One in The US and Another Level did their Version that went to Number One in The UK.

[@TahtahmesDiary]

And also the taking of Black music and talent and white washing it then being indignant and dismissive of said Black talent.

[@callmeonkeshiasphone]

The Clara ward singer (a gospel girl group) performed at surprisingly the playboy club in 1960 ( here on KZbin) and the jump around dancing and gospel break down are very similar to the singers here.

[@peteradaniel]

Notice how post civil rights movement most of those white artists singing this music, pretty much disappeared, because up until then the only that defined “white music” was skin colour. Whereas many of the black groups under Motown had a resurgence in the 70s with Philadelphia sound and disco and were able to survive well into the 80s for some.

I'm always wondering that line means "they(brodcast) wrote the script" or literary "they(girl band) wrote the song".🤔🤔🤔

[@cjripley32]

This is brilliant storytelling. The song seamlessly transitions the story from the narrative of Amber's jealousy of Tracy to the tensions of segregation and Von Tussle's attempts to undermine and take advantage of the black performers/Maybelle.

[@seniattalla]

yasssssssss totally rocks

[@blahblahblahaha]

Children need more movies like this. This film had so many powerful messages and executed them so well and genuinely. I love how they pointed out how much talent the black girls had compared to the white girls. That they had to essentially work twice as hard to be met with not even a fifth of the credit or success they were entitled. I remember watching this as a kid and it really opened my eyes to so many things I took for granted and helped me better empathize with all kinds of people. Love this film.

[@AGR04]

I especially really appreciate Cornie's line in the movie: "Isn't this where it's all headed anyway?" It's commentary on the civil rights theme of the movie that goes beyond just The Cornie Collins Show, just their studio, and just integrated TV. It's an acknowledgement that even if things change for their studio, that doesn't mean the fight is over. This is an issue the whole world is gonna have to address, and heaven help them in they're not on the side of justice.

[@velvetbooks9099]

I also love the way Amber looks so confident while singing on the show about telling the homecoming queen to hold onto her crooooooooown, thinking she's the new girl in town, and later realizing that she's not and that she's the one that has to hold onto her crown. If that makes any sense. LOL.

[@allythebean0420]

I literally can’t get over how funny it is when the redhead bitch constantly tries to smack the fuck out of amber, and goes so far as to actually attempt murder with a group of other dancers (the rocket was way too high up she would have broke her neck, if not her spine)

THAT PART!

[@Baseball_Louie6320]

I just realized something disturbing. At the end of the song they sing "Hey look out for that that moving van! Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out! She WAS the new girl in town." I just thought they meant "Hey look out for the moving van, that means that a new girl has just come to town and you better watch out" but then they said she WAS the new girl in town, and covered their mouths in shock. The new girl got hit by the moving van. She died. She WAS the new girl in town.

[@freakytostadacartoon]

Exactly.

[@majorevangelism]

This was a very important scene where you see how the same song can have two different versions. The "White" Version got more airplay and the "Black" Version was limited to The Black Community. Remember they did that in Dreamgirls with The Cadillac Song.

[@supernnnnlive]

laminage That's not quite right...although I do agree with the overall statement, in Dreamgirls "Cadillac car" represents the fact that "white people" took original songs from the "black people" and took credits for it. Where as "The new girl in town" represents the fact that two equally (the word "equally" is very subjective here) parties aka "black" or "white" gets unfair treatment when it comes to broadcasting time, in this case the favour is to the white folks.

[@laminage]

Oh yes.  Growing up, I was stunned to know that a lot of Songs were obscure R & B Songs.  Everyone from The Manhattan Transfer (Boy From New York City), Anne Murray (Just  One Look), Celine Dion (If You Asked Me To), and Cry Baby (Janis Joplin) covered R & B Songs.

What? Is calling them black racist? Seriously, what the fuck? Is it offensive to be black? No. They are black do I don't see a fucking problem.

[@mazzamunchkin465]

As a black girl i like both versions and I’m glad they showed both sides with this song

1:11, that transition with the three in the center and the dolly shot pulling in an then the pull out at the change, also the choreography with the turning at the transition, is just so good!

Man, this brings back memories. Back high school the freshman girl's choir performed this at a concert, and one of the boys was accidentally placed in the girl's choir class at the beginning of the year. So during that concert he played "The New Girl In Town" and danced around the stage in drag while the girls sang. It was absolutely priceless

[@falyn5858]

Off topic, but how are you accidentally placed in the wrong choir?

[@lindaackerman4412]

This is one of my favorite parts of the movie

I love both versions; the first one, is cute and sweet; the second one, is like more colorful and bouncy

[@hatpal2287]

Agree

[@JackiePlayzzz]

Both versions are very powerful, the first one is more pop song like and very peppy the second one has a lot of energy and a lot of voice.

[@sissysovereign1294]

I wish there was an extended version of both versions. They both sound good

[@alphonso1663]

The firsversion sounds like some disney lil mermaid, and the second sounds like BAM BAM💥 and soul
