DANCE PARTY!FNDP: Troll Love Songs 🎶💕 👾💀👽💩🤖👺👹 💕🎶

submitted by CaelianPost No Toasties from self.WayOfTheBern

When I'm calling you... hoo hoo hoo... hoo hoo hoo...

Tonight's FNDB theme is Troll Love Songs. Since we don't get many trolls here at SaidIt, most of the action tonight will probably be at the Reddit FNDP, but maybe if we come up with some really good songs we can draw them out from under their bridges!

u/Martini thinks if we make some really annoying noises that might do the trick. Maybe Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald will work even better!

Have fun!

Repelling trolls is fun, this is the sound of their arguments.

Difficult topic but

In the Hall of the Mountain King

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbfnh1oVTk0&list=RDTMAK5uy_kset8DisdE7LSD4TNjEVvrKRTmG7a56sY

from Peer Gynt. Not wishing to insult anyone's knowledge of classical music, but the Mountain King is the troll king Dovregubben.

Now here is a number I'm sure our trolls will truly love: Alfred E. Neuman's It's a Gas.

I loved this when I was ten. I still laugh.

I'm not sure I understand what is being called for, but anyway, I'll offer up this stunning live performance of

Carly Simon - You're So Vain

That really was a great performance. My favorite version of Anticipation is from the same.

I like this vintage SNL use of Anticipation: Swill mineral water from Lake Erie 🤢

From a comment under that clip :

She wrote this song in November, 1971 in 15 minutes while she was waiting for Cat Stevens "Tea and the Tillerman" to pick her up for a date.

That's news to me; never knew those two dated.

That's such a beautiful song. The Music Man is my favorite "mainstream" musical. I've seen it at least twice on the stage, plus the movie.

My mom's favorite too, so it was one of the very first songs I heard, and learned. The prompt was rather particular tonight, but I'm happy it made me think of it.

That clip of Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald singing Troll Love Call from Rose Marie (1936) was featured in That's Entertainment! (1974), a pretty good film with movie clips from the Golden Age of Hollywood. I saw it in a theater with my parents. When this clip started playing, my dad said "Oh my god, he looks like Gerald Ford!" The people around us laughed. Gerald Ford was president at the time (or about to be).

Troll Love Call

Do my eyes deceive me, or are you engaging in deliberate misinformation?

I almost saw the 1936 Rose Marie, but the film distributor screwed up and sent the 1954 color version with Howard Keel. I remember very little — it's one of those interchangeable and forgettable Hollywood musicals of the time. The only good part was the great comedian/vaudevillian Bert Lahr who plays "The Mountie Who Never Got His Man" and sings a song to that effect. He played the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz and stole every scene he was in.

[–]SusanJ 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Howard Keel was in one of my favorite movies, 1963's Day of the Triffids which has this classic line: "Keep behind me. There's no sense in getting killed by a plant." I so agree!

Ian Fleming's 1964 novel You Only Live Twice has a chapter about poisonous plants and animals. The chapter is called "Slay it with Flowers" 😺

The 1967 movie is a lot of fun, but it has little to do with the book. Screenplay by Roald Dahl! I highly recommend both.

Recognized the name as soon as I read it though I think it's the only thing I ever saw him in. As you said, he was memorable.
