I was “researching” on YouTube this morning and came across this old Sleater Kinney video.
You’re No Rock N’ Roll Fun – Sleater Kinney
Seeing that, I immediately thought of Josie and the Pussycats. It may sound outrageous, but I cannot get enough of that movie. So many favorite actors in the cast: Rosario Dawson, Alan Cummings, Parker Posey. And Tara Reid singing “If You’re Happy and You Know It” is priceless.
But the biggest reason to love that movie is Rachel Leigh Cook lip-synching to the voice of Kay Hanley, the lead singer of Letters to Cleo. It’s a sort of perfect storm of rock n’ roll fun.
Three Small Words – Josie and the Pussycats
See Rachel Leigh Cook destroy a kitchen in the classic This is Your Brain on Heroin ad.
Wow, I remember “You’re No Rock N’ Roll Fun.” Love that song.
“Josie and The Pussycats,” while corny, was cute in a way. Good vocals from the Letters to Cleo chick. <— Enjoyed them in “10 Things I Hate About You.”
All Hands on the Bad One is my favorite Sleater Kinney album, but it’s been lost for about a year. I have, I guess, six others holding my over while I’ve deluded myself into thinking I’ll find it again. It may be time to break down and buy another copy.
