Bat Boy: The Movie..... Finally the motion picture version of the wonderful Broadway Play

....not really.......but it sure sounded like a good concept...not any worse than the dozens of 1970's films or tv programs that had been made into motion pictures.

What I want to ask, is if there were a film, who would play Bat Boy?

William Hung.....


One of the songs from the soundtrack.

Son of A Bat Boy Man(sung to Son of A Preacher Man)

Bubba Ray was a vampire's son
And when his daddy would visit, he'd come along
When they'd gather round and start to bitin'
Cousin Bubba would take me walkin'
Into the backyard we'd go stalkin'
Then he'd look to my neck
and lord knows to my surprise

The only boy who could ever reach me
Was the son of a bat boy man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the sweet bitin' bat boy man, yes he was ooo he was

There was a tacky version of "Bat Boy" sung to That Boy, but we won't go to great lengths. Just the first line"Bat boy, took my blood away.....though he'll regret it someday...."

Here's a bio on Bat Boy....

Bat Boy's favorite Rolling Stone album is: Let It Bleed
Bat Boy's favorite sport: Baseball
Bat Boy's favorite player: the "Bat Boy"
Bat Boy's favorite alcoholic beverage: Bloody Mary
Bat Boy's favorite hobby: Helping people donate blood
Bat Boy's favorite Superhero: Batman
Favorite Movie: Dracula, any version....
Favorite actress: Vampira

Everything you've always wanted to know about Bat Boy but was afraid to ask.

Actually, John Landis is in preproduction on a movie based on the musical, to star the same guy who played BatBoy in L.A., NYC and London.

Kerrigan-Harding Saga Now a Musical Opera


The Nancy Kerrigan-Tonya Harding soap opera is now a musical opera. The figure skating saga that captivated the country 11 years ago — with the ubiquitous video of Kerrigan crying "Why me?" after being attacked and hit in the knee — is the basis for "Nancy and Tonya: The Opera," to be performed at Tufts University next spring.


Kerrigan became a household name when an associate of Harding's clubbed her on the knee with a baton as she left the ice during practice at the 1994 U.S. championships in Detroit.


The attack prevented Kerrigan from competing, but she recovered to win a silver medal at the 1994 Olympic games in Lillehammer a few weeks later. Harding finished out of the running.


"This is the classic envy story and it was just so strange and got stranger by the day," said Elizabeth Searle, who wrote the opera's libretto.


Videotape of Kerrigan — her face contorted in agony, grabbing her knee and wailing "Why me? Why me?" — was a TV staple in the days after the attack.


Harding, the cigarette-smoking, pickup-driving bad girl, had said she would "kick some butt" in the Olympics.


Harding's ex-husband, Jeff Stone, and two other men served time for planning and carrying out the attack. Harding pleaded guilty to covering up the attack but didn't serve any time. She received a lifetime ban by the U.S. Figure Skating Association and apologized in person to Kerrigan.


"Tonya and Nancy was the first completely insane scandal that took over the country," Searle said.


Attempts to reach Kerrigan and Harding on Thursday by phone and e-mail were unsuccessful.


The 43-year-old Searle said she did not consult the two skaters about the one-act opera, which was pieced together using actual quotes uttered by the women and others involved in the scandal. Searle plucked from newspaper reports, FBI transcripts and her previous novella about the skating rivals, "Celebrities in Disgrace," which is being made into a short film. Tufts graduate student Abigail Al Dorry is writing the music.


The opera opens with Kerrigan and Harding holding dueling news conferences at the 1994 Olympics, just weeks after the attack on Kerrigan.


"There are elements of parody in it, but I really feel for this story," Searle said. "Girls in America are either raised to be Tonyas or Nancys. I think any girl can relate to these two women and what they went through."

Harding's ex husband is Jeff Gillooley...Gilhooey...something like that....

I think I would rather see Bat Boy The Movie rather than Tonya and Nancy the RockOpera...
Or should I say Club Opera? Andrew Lloyd Webber is hard at work reworking some of his old stuff to make this epic saga.

Don't Cry For Me Tonya (Don't Cry For Me Argentina)

Don't Cry For me Tonya
You are a hopeless idiot
With no real talent of your own
You felt you had to club me out of the scene

You are a hopeless case
You don't have a brain in your head
To plan and scheme this bad thing
To try to ruin my Olympic dreams

Don't Cry for me Tonya
You can't help it you're a fool
You made a fool of yourself at the games
With that hideous attempt with broken laces

With all your madness, your sad existence
You broke your skatelace, you are a jacka$$
You broke your skatelass, you are a jacka$$

Tonya Girl Superstooge (Sung to Jesus Christ Superstar)

Every time I see you skate I don't understand
How you thought you'd win gold at the Big O
You never won a US title all your days
Now how'd you think you win the gold in the world?

I wanna know
I wanna Know
I only wanna know

Tonyagirl, superstooge, do you think you're gold medal material?
Tonya girl, super stooge, do you think you're what they say you are?

Tell me how your hubby got the big bullies
work together to get back at me.
Was all of this worth your while?
Now you end up on celebrity boxing

I wanna know
I wanna know
I only wanna know
Tonya girl superstooge, do you think you are a superstar?
Tonya girl superstooge, do you think you're who they say you are?

Tonya's Song I don't Know How to Club Her (Sung to I don't know how to love him)

I don't know how to club her
How to break her pathetic leg
she's just a skater, not a champ
in any other way.

I don't know how to take this
I don't see why they love her
She's not Oksana, not even Kristi

ANd I was the one with the triple axel
Why did they love her more?
She's just one more....

Should I break her leg, should I snap her neck,
should I scream and shout let my feelings out
I never thought I'd plan like this
What's it all about?

Skating (Sung to Memories from the musical Cats)

Midnight, all alone on the ice now
as I skate for my life now
I'm a joke anymore
Nobody takes me seriously

Daylight and I look at my new nose
and I think of how fat I let myself get
If you saw my glory day, you'd see my triple axel
But that's just so long ago.....

.....Hey Tonya, why don't you fix up with Bat Boy, then when you want to get back at Nancy this time, you can send Bat Boy to bite her in the neck...but with those big choppers of Nancy's, she may bite back.....

Hey congrats Ilras, I did think of you when I heard they won.

I was rooting for Brazil, but sadly they were taken out kind of early. (for Brazil)

There is a program on TLC called "Little People, Big World" about a dwarf couple and their family, including a set of twins, one is a dwarf, and the other is average size.

Little people, despite their "height impairment", can get more accomplished than most people of average height do.

This is America, land of strange television, and why not a dwarf family reality show?

Yes, really off topic......and it's not about Bat Boy.....that's a good thing!
