Thirtysomething orgers...remember when this was massive...

40 sumpin orger here does

you mean a real scripted tv show with actual singers, dancers and performers who actually portrayed characters in an effort to entertain a television audience?

that show was no american idol.

I don't think I ever watched it. But I remember the song.

Havent't seen the movie in years but I have the soundtrack CD I love the songs "Fame","Out Here On My Own","Red Light" and "Hot Lunch Jam"


when I'm down and feeling blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you

I had the single "High Fidelity" by Doris Schwartz, and of course "Starmaker"...

I was reading the thread about Mika and I thought of Bruno Martelli the keyboard boffin

I was just talking about this movie to my daughter the other day, telling her that we had a Fame graduation ceremony. We did I sing the body electric at my high school graduation.

I need to find that DVD and soundtrack.

the dvd can usually be found for $9.99 or less at walmart or best buy.

the part where coco's dumbass shows her 2nd grade nubbies to that whacko is good though

Was a lead in the play at summer camp.

"Hot Lunch" is one of those songs I haven't heard in a million years, but that I'll never forget.

Macaroni and bologna
Tuna fish my favorite dish...

Has to be the best part of that movie.

I fell in love with "The Body Electric" when I had to learn it for a school play. Then I saw its scene in the movie... waaay cheesy. I try to detatch the two in my mind.

I wish I could say "no sorry I'm to young"

Twentysomethings remember this too

remember!...remember!....remember!...

Everybody watched this when I was little One night my friends & I decided we WERE the cast, so we danced on some cars Everybody got in trouble I think only one hood got dented

Of course NOW I'd beat a kids ASS if they danced on my fucking car

Nobody here mentioned that MGM is working on a remake of the movie.

WTF is w/ all the remakes??? There is NO NEED to remake this shit right now. Maybe in 10 years or something but damn, who the fuck is gonna be in it? All the talentless turds we have out now?? WTFuckinF??

ArielB said:

it's the eighties-ness of the original that makes it good

I hope they don't change the soundtrack...add a little street flava

LittleSmedley said:

Oh you KNOW they're gonna change it... & fuck it right up

CalhounSq said:

Just like Hairspray.

MGM announced during the Cannes Festival that they're working on a remake. I don't think they mentioned any names though. They did say that the movie will be out next year.

Oh I loved it.. used to watch it EVERY week and the next day at school would do the dance routines in the playground

ArielB said:

OY... I poo poo on their remake!

Here's a link to the story

I remember they did do a couple of Prince songs in the TV series. Can't remember which though.

I hope neither "Head" nor "Jack U Off."
