I didn't hear or read one mention of Wendy Carlos during the entire Cait Jenner transition and PR juggernaut. Sad. She was a trailblazer on several fronts.

Hey Charlie, the Freaky Friday song was sung by Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris (actresses in the movie). Was Written By Al Kasha And Joel Hirschhorm, 1st performed by the Osmond Bros ...
Avatar 1:34pm bobdoesthings:

no idea. but I can tell you.. too many do-be's and I don't want to do much of anything..
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:35pm Webhamster Henry:

Don't Bee was a litttttle too attractive, so he was decommissioned at some point.
Avatar 1:36pm bobdoesthings:

...see what I did there?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:36pm Charlie:

Carmichael -- thanks for that info! I had the writers from the movie credits, but the singers were uncredited. I really like the movie. Maybe up until the obligatory kooky chase scene at the end.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:36pm listener james from westwood:

A very-Yoko Yoko video from the mid-80s, IIRC by the same director who did the Art of Noise's "Close to the Edit" vid (I'll glitch up his name if I try to spell it):
