The B-I-B-L-E by Cedarmont Kids. I swear this song is what got me into wooden playgrounds growing up! ?
This week we dive into a room full of gold to give the history of a Disney cartoon with one hell of an ear worm of a theme song.
I’d discovered Chris Isaak with “Wicked Game” and had fallen in love with the song but, had almost forgotten about him until the end of the decade. And then, Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut was about to come out–that song must’ve been the hottest thing on mtv at the time. ((( also, Casta :(… )))
I had the melody to the chorus of this song stuck in my head for over TWO DECADES. You cannot comprehend my elation upon rediscovering the song it was from.
This song was featured in the movie Benny and Joon, released back in ’93, and was my introduction to a guy named Johnny Depp. (also Mary Stuart Masterson, who gives a great performance and was a joy to watch)
