The songs heard in the film that are excluded from the soundtrack, luckily, are or were not so "obscure" as the majority.  I think only the title song was written for the movie.

There's a lot more music in the movie that is not on the soundtrack than I'd remembered.  Watched it.  Laughed.  Loved it still.

For some reason GRAVY by DEE DEE SHARP was not on the soundtrack album, but the song features prominently in the film.

Yepper, not on the soundtrack.

Thanks for the reminder! I almost forgot. This is the original, not the musical version. (though there is music in it)

Oh yeah, the original film that I loved when it was new and STILL love.  JOHN WATERS uncovered so many overlooked and forgotten records.  I saw the musical on Broadway and it was good, all new songs, not nostalgic dance records, but that freaking scary Travolta movie... ech.

HAIRSPRAY (1988) on TCM at 8pm est tonight!  I'm listening to the soundtrack right now (almost all old dusty forgotten records ... in 1988... thank you, JOHN WATERS).

This episode was broadcast recently and I was lucky enough to catch some of it.  I do admire that program. 

Found this online, but I have my own copy of it.

I have avoided To Be Or Not To Be since I am so used to Benny's TV persona of the fussy tightwad so I was not sure I could accept him in a different movie role.

I still laugh at that unexpected movie.  It may be overrated but it's a gem and its sparkle can be surprising.
