There was an "official" soundtrack from the 1988 classic, it was missing several songs in the movie. There was a later "unofficial" soundtrack online, containing the missing tracks.....it was still missing some of the tracks....lol.
Here's my version of the entire soundtrack: (it contains "Waddle, waddle", by The Bracelettes, and "The Bird", by the Two Duo Tones....these aren't on either soundtrack....)
Enjoy! :)
I'm doing this list, because, in addition to being one of my fave film soundtracks of all time.....it's really almost a "best of 1962-63 list" (with the exception of the Rachel Sweet, and the Pia Zadora tracks).....great stuff, and a great dance list, too!! (And, this one's for my daughter....'cuz I orginally did this one for her....she didn't like the other soundtracks when she was trying to learn all the dances.....)
This one is for you, Sarah :)

Now......LET"S DANCE!!
The "Real Corny Collins Show"...The Buddy Deane Show.....Maryland TV
Back in the 80's I saw Hank Ballard and the Midnighters perform The Twist and their other hits at the Horseshoe Tavern here in Toronto. They had a full band and they all had matching outfits and it was a fantastic time.
ReplyDeleteSounds fun :) I would've liked to have seen a show like that. I won't be online for a bit, I think...I may have to break down and go Mac....all these tech interruptions and issues with windows are killing me :(
ReplyDeleteI purchase the DVD of "Hair Spray" great movie. It looked very authentic from the dances, they did. I inherited alot of 45's from my older brother and sister from that period. I remembered the dances at our home. They were all dressed up.
ReplyDeleteI also notice your foto. You look like the blonde dancer on "Teen Time" video on youtube. You are the best dancer, that's for sure. You should check it out. You are dancing the Shing-a-ling to "Keep The Ball Roing" By Jay & the Techniques. Plus you do have a awesome site here.Ciao. Francisco ☺
Thanks for the upload! I love Hairspray! Cheers From Costa Rica! I <3 John Waters!
ReplyDeletenicely done :D
ReplyDeleteThe link doesn't work. Could somebody send the link to my email. Reikilevel_1@yahoo.com I would appreciate it
ReplyDeleteHi Barbarella!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately for me, the link is not downloading the file. Instead every "download" icon downloads the RAR expander app (which I don't need) and I am totally unable to access the music. I have always coveted the missing songs from this album and I am so close....
Any info or help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you and Happy New Year!
Hi, I am not able to access the links either. Do you have any helpful hints or info? Am I doing something wrong?? Each time I click on a download link it takes me to the RAR app rather than the zip file. I'd be so grateful for any help. I have been waiting for this soundtrack in it's entirety for two decades! Thank you and Happy New Year! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen Hairspray first came out it was just like stepping back into time. I remember doing most of those dances but there were a few songs that I'd never heard before. Took a long time to find them. I remember buying the video and all of us dancing in front of the TV. There was always a new dance for just about every song that came out back then and they were pretty much the same steps. Just improvised a little. Was crazy how we did that. The Twist and the Pony were HUGE dances. The Madison was always fun and still is.
