Pink Flamingos (Criterion)

[Marc_Morris]

I see the new Criterion disc has been added - does it contain the original music score, or the score with some of the music tracks replaced?

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

Not sure. Will look into it.

There is no 'official' score but plenty of eclectic 50s rock-and-roll kitsch classics and weird instrumentals - sourced from John Waters' record collection - including samplings with The Swag performed by Link Wray and His Ray Men, Jim Dandy by La Vern Baker, I'm Not A Juvenile Delinquent performed by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, The Girl Can't Help It sung by Little Richard, Ooh! Look-A There, Ain't She Pretty by Bill Haley and the Comets, Pink Champagne by The Tyrones, Surfin' Bird by The Trashmen and notably Patti Page's (How Much Is) That Doggie In the Window. The music sounds moody and rough - as per its roots.

I own this release. The booklet merely states that the original monaural soundtrack was remastered from the 16 mm magnetic track and the 25th anniversary edition soundtrack.

I can confirm that several tracks have been replaced due to copyright issues.

If you can let us know what was changed, we can update the listings.
