Lyrics:

The head titles feature Tick/Mitzi (Hugo Weaving) miming to Charlene’s I’ve Never Been To Me … (with the help of a preacher man who on the lyrics’ cue comes out to hold hands, followed by a drunk Adam/Felicia (Guy Pearce) chewing gum and clutching a doll baby, who comes out when the lyrics refer to a lady walking away, and then horses around on stage).

The song is cut short in the ﬁlm.

Lyrics as heard in the ﬁlm:

Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life You're a discontented mother and a rich inventive wife I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do But I wish someone had a talked to me like I wanna talk to you Ooh I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run Took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me …

Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today I can see so much of me still living in your eyes Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece While I sipped champagne on a yacht I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things That a woman ain't s'posed to see I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me …

The song begins to fade out at this point, as Mitzi stops miming and bows to the clapping and wolf whistling crowd, as voices demand more …

Oooh oooh o ooo meee ... I’ve been to paradise … never been to me …

The applause turns to jeers and Mitzi sneers at the crowd and then a can beer catches her in the back of the neck, knocking her down …

Felicia races out and asks her if she’s okay, gets a “yeah, yeah”, so races over to pick up the mike.

Felicia: “Well that was fuckin’ charming, you gutless pack of dickheads.” Audience member: “Oh fuck off you talentless dog.” Felicia: “What was that?” Audience member: “Show us your pink bits!” Felicia: “No! I don’t think I will. Now do you know why this microphone has such a long cord?” Audience member: “Why?” Felicia: “So it’s easily retrieved after I’ve shoved it up YOUR arse.”

The crowd cheers and jeers as the director’s credit vanishes, we cut to a forlorn Mitzi in the dressing room, and the post-credits movie begins …

Tail song lyrics:

Mitzi shouts into the mike that it’s good to be home, the image freezes and a song begins over black as the tail credits roll.

Co-costume designer Tim Chappel fades up in stage-lit silhouette, screen right, to mime to Vanessa Williams singing Save the Best for Last.

Unlike the head credits song, this one runs the distance:

Sometimes the snow comes down in June Sometimes the sun goes round the moon I see the passion in your eyes Sometimes it's all a big surprise

'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish You'd tell me this was love It's not the way I hoped or how I planned But somehow it's enough

And now we're standing face-to-face Isn't this world a crazy place? Just when I thought our chance had passed You go and save the best for last

All of the nights you came to me When some silly girl had set you free You wondered how you'd make it through I wondered what was wrong with you

'Cause how could you give your love to someone else And share your dreams with me Sometimes the very thing you're looking for Is the one thing you can't see But now we're standing face-to-face Isn't this world a crazy place? Just when I thought our chance had passed You go and save the best for last …

(There’s a little synth piano interlude and a small excision from the original version)

Sometimes the snow comes down in June Sometimes the sun goes round the moon Just when I thought our chance had passed You go and save the best for last ...

You went and saved the best for last Yeaaaheaah…

(After this, there’s a little oriental music as a monk collects a pink doll kite with exposed breasts that ﬂaps down into what is clearly the Sydney Chinese Garden of Friendship in Darling Harbour)

Music in the ﬁlm:

There are a few attempts to pretend that there’s live music in the ﬁlm, but it’s obviously a ﬁlm that’s heavily post-produced. Amongst the tokens are an uncredited band in a Broken Hill pub, and the presence of Alan Dargin, a noted didgeridoo player as well as musician and songwriter. Dargin has a wiki here.

Much of the time the music consists of getting out the boom box and/or other ampliﬁed system, and getting on with the imported songs:

CD Release:

A CD of the soundtrack was released, and mirroring the film’s success, there were a number of editions:

In the VHS ‘Blinky Bill making of’ Gross was shown at work on the score, which like the music for his ﬁrst collaboration with director Stephan Elliott - Frauds - was an orchestrated piece, using some of the players from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

In the case of Frauds, the players were dressed up as the “Victorian Philharmonic Orchestra”.

Frauds was Gross’s ﬁrst feature outside the family farm, so to speak, and he thereafter became a very active composer, on both Gross company projects and for others.

His work for Elliott’s The Adventures of Priscilla was in a very different style - using simple themes with a choral emphasis. See this site’s ‘about the ﬁlm’ section for more details,

(Below: Gross in the Blinky Bill VHS ‘making of’) At time of writing, composer Guy Gross had his own website here. It contained this CV and these credits:

Guy Gross is one of Australia's leading ﬁlm and television composers and recipient of the APRA/AGSC International Achievement Award. In 2012 he was elected president of the Australian Guild of Screen Composers.

From his British Academy Award (BAFTA) nominated score to the international hit "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert to the US SCI-FI series "Farscape", his ﬁlm scores cover a huge variety of styles.

Testament to this diversity, Guy has received numerous peer awards including Best Music for a Documentary, Children's Series, Short ﬁlm, Animation, Promotional Video, Advertisement, TV Theme and twice for Best Music for a TV Series.

Over his 30 year career, Guy has composed music for hundreds of hours of television, including dramatic mini series, children's animation, documentaries, commercials and also a number of Australian feature films. His film music has underscored the acting performances of Toni Collette, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Garry McDonald, Molly Ringwald, Kylie Minogue, Phil Collins, Guy Pearce and Olivia Newton John and his scores have been performed in concert by the Sydney, Melbourne and Queensland Symphony Orchestras. Guy began film scoring while still studying composition at the Conservatorium High School in Sydney, Australia. Son of film producers Yoram and Sandra Gross, he began scoring many of the family companies' feature and television projects. Following in his father's footsteps, Guy directed and scored the animated TV series "Old Tom and wrote, scored, produced, and directed the animated television special "Blinky Bill's White Christmas".

At the age of 26, Guy scored his first feature film, "Frauds" directed by Stephan Elliott and went on to score four features with Stephan including the 1994 international hit "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" and more recently, "A Few Best Men". In '95, Guy composed his award winning score to the ABC TV series "Bordertown" for Knapman Wyld Television for whom he has also scored all three seasons of the internationally award winning TV Series "East West 101". In 1999 Guy received the (shared) award for Best Music at the Tropicana Film Festival (Tropfest) for his score to that year's winning short film "Uno Amore". That year Guy also composed the score to the horror feature film "Cut" for Mushroom Pictures and soon after that began scoring the hit Sci-Fi series "Farscape" produced by The Jim Henson Company.

"Farscape" has been a monumental project for Guy keeping him busy for over three years culminating in a big budget, 2 part television mini series "Farscape - Peacekeeper Wars" which enabled him to enlist the services of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and conduct the 140 strong orchestra and choir to create one of his largest ﬁlm scores to- date. Farscape has spun off ﬁve Soundtrack Albums.

In recent years Guy has scored the tele-movies: "Dangerous Remedy", "A Model Daughter - The Killing of Caroline Byrne", "Joanne Lees: Murder in the Outback", "Scorched", documentaries: "The Howard Years", "The Prime Minister is Missing" and "Who Killed Dr Bogle and Mrs Chandler?".

Guy owns a recording studio complex in Camperdown, Sydney which houses a number of studios and composing suites.
