Rosemary and I decided we want to throw a costume party where each guest dresses as a different Barbra Streisand album cover.

If I can get the poodle, I wanna be Songbird.

Jody, you wouldn't dare.

I was originally going to say too bad I can't post an image *inside* the gatefold of A Star is Born, but a quick search turned it up.

Sean, I expect you'll come to this when it happens.

Oh, I'll be at that party. I will be there as "Recent Babs."

my ex-girlfriend had some thing for Barbara. But she was (sha la la) a Jersey Girl. it seems common there. I sure as fuck don't have it.

Ick. Yentl was a riot though.

My music teacher in grade school made us all watch Yentl in 5th grade. I didn't realize till much later that that our teacher was such a homo.

Are you sure? He might also have been a big Andre Agassi fan.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 2 June 2003 03:47 (10 years ago) Permalink

a fan of his tight ASS maybe

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 2 June 2003 03:48 (10 years ago) Permalink

Like the two are mutually exclusive?

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 2 June 2003 03:49 (10 years ago) Permalink

I realized upon typing my first response that his Andre Agassi fandom would probably have confirmed your initial hypothesis.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 2 June 2003 03:50 (10 years ago) Permalink

I can't undestand how anybody could not have a thing for Barbra. That voice. That VOICE.

There, I've said it.

And she's a graduate of Brooklyn's Erasmus High School, which I didn't attend but visited once on a junior high school class trip.

DUD. Best line on Streisand ever: I was talking with a fairly well-known NY cabaret singer and said I didn't understand what anyone saw in Streisand. To which she replied, "Oh, she's awful. She sounds like a vacuum cleaner."

Anyone wanna come as Lazy Afternoon Barbra? I bought this for $1 today (see the Herbie Mann thread for one of my other great bargain-bin scores).

Look, it's "I Wish I Was Viva" Barbra! She really had a thing for those Factory broads.

She looks like Lisa Lisa on the cover of that Cult Jam/Full Force record.

okay dammit I've talked before about the absolute rooling brilliance of the ButterFly album -- she covers Bowie's "Life on Mars?", fer godssake!!! -- but the cover just shows a fly on a stick of butter. Can anyone locate and post the illustration from the back cover, which is a mad psychedelic Streisand-turning-into-a-butterfly sort of illustration?

oh and on the inside foldout she's lookin' braless and hott.

Her first 2 LPs are classics in the genre of unrestrained (nearly giddy) girl-singer enthusiasm and are right up there with "She's So Unusual" or Madonna's debut. And the cover of her second was my contribution to the "Truly Sexy Album Cover" thread!

Then sbe turned 21, and got kinda boring...

1 year passes...

TWO CLASSICS FROM LADY S:

(1) Stoney End (1971) - surprisingly rich country (pedal steel) / soul (horns) / pop (tunes) set, much of it fantastic - check out Harry Nilsson's "Maybe", Randy Newman's "I'l Be Home", Carole King's "No Easy Way Down", plus Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Laura Nyro, Kurt Weill etc. Nice cover too.

(2) What's Up Doc? (1972) - Bogdanovich's screwball homage, still very much underrated - both Streisand and Ryan O'Neal (et al) very lovable and very funny.

Rest dud, natch.

C/D: Barbra Streisand Broadway Covers;

I'll start.
"As If We Never Said Goodbye" - Classic
"Music of the Night" - Dud
"Being Alive" - 50% Dud, then 50% Classic
"Something's Coming" - Dud
"Send In the Clowns" - Classic

Seems I like her much more when she's doing those soaring show-stoppers, and I don't really like her covers of originally male-sung tunes (like "Lady Luck" and "Some Enchanted Evening"). I would love to hear her do a cover of "The Miller's Son" which I bet would be even better than "Send In the Clowns."
