Today I binged ” Wednesday ” on Netflix.

I didn’t plan on doing that, but once I got into the first episode I just kept going until it was over and I was sitting there with my empty popcorn bowl and a big satisfied grin on my face.

In the end I can’t say which of my scenes were my favorites because each scene was woven into the next in such a fashion that I really can’t tease them apart.

But there were the musical highlights and I LOVED those.

At the Never More  soiree  the students danced to “Goo Goo Muck”  by the Cramps.

Goo Goo Muck came out when I was a Sophomore in high school and I did love that song. I also remember people dancing to it.

Wednesday used some of those moves that people did to punk music or new wave back then, but it was a lot more graceful and the passion in that wasn’t rooted in anger or the desire to not show passion of any kind at all.  So I liked it. Oh heck. I loved it.

Paint It Black is one of those songs that I seek out just so I can hear how people are arranging it.

The version from Wednesday featured a cello instead of vocals but what I thought set this apart from other versions is that the montage fit the song perfectly and as a BIG bonus ” Wednesday  ” reminded me of a gargoyle when she performed the song. Her neck was stretched out, her hands looked like claws and she was looking down- but not at her hands.

The visual and the music created a truly memorable version of this song:

PS

There was a lot f buzz before ” Wednesday ” came out about why this  wasn’t released at Halloween and dropped before Thanksgiving.

Well it features Pilgrims and in a round about way Thanksgiving.
