Salome - Various Artists Various Artists Sunset Blvd. Cd 1 Salome Norma:Salome, what a woman, what a part! Innocent body and a sinful heart, Inflaming Herod's lust, But secretly loving a holy man. Nobody could play her like I can. Joe:well, I had nothing urgent coming up, I thought I might as well skim it. It's fun to see how bad bad writing can be, This promised to go to the limit. Norma:there's so many great scenes, I can't wait. A boiling cauldron of love and hate. She toys with Herod Till he's putty in her hands He reels tormented through the Desert sands Joe:it sure was a real cheery set-up The wind breezing through that organ Max shuffling around and a dead ape Dumped on a shelf And her staring like a gorgon Norma:they drag the Baptist up from the jails She dances the dance of the seven veils. Herod says: I'll give you anything. Joe:now it was time for some comedy relief The guy with the baby casket. Must have seen a thing or two, that chimp, Shame it was to late to ask it Norma:have you got to the scene where she Asks for his head? If she can't have him living, She'll take him dead. They bring in his head on a silver tray. She kisses his mouth. it's a great Screenplay! Joe:it got to be eleven, I was feeling ill What the hell was I doing? Melodrama and sweet champagne And a garbled plot from a scrambled brain; But I had my one plot brewing. Just how old is Salome? Norma:Sixteen. Joe:could be it's a little long Maybe the opening's wrong But it's extremely good for a beginner. Norma:no, it's a perfect start, I wrote that with my heart The riverbank, the Baptist, and the sinner. Joe:shouldn't there be some dialogue? Norma:I can say anything I want with my eyes. Joe:it could use a few cuts. Norma:I will not have it butchered! Joe:I'm not talking limb from limb, I just mean a little trim All you need is someone who can edit. Norma:I want someone with a knack Not just any studio hack And don't think for a minute I'll share Credit!
