I guess it was a couple months ago at the most, we were scanning through the guide on television to find something to watch and up popped Beach Blanket Bingo. It had just come on, so we put it on that station and ::BOOM:: - Shelby was hooked. This isn't out of the ordinary for Belle. To like an older show, that is. She likes all the old cartoons too. The Jetsons, all Scooby Doos, Perils of Penelope, Hong Kong Phooey...you name it.
Since her first viewing of BBB, she's watched it many times. Twice in the past 2 days, in fact. Enough times to learn the songs. The characters' names. And even a few lines of script here-and-there.
The best part has been her comments and questions though.
Here's a little sampling:
- Why does that one girl keep running around in that one bikini? She never changes. That's not very stylish.
- Why do bad things keep happening to VonZipper? He seems like a nice guy, but he has such bad luck.
- She jumped in the ocean and came out with her hair looking like THAT? That's not right. (talking about Annette Funacello)
- Who would name their daughter Sugar Cane? I'd be mad...
- Do you think they paid her to sing? I mean in the movie...do you think she just did it for free or what?
- I don't get why Bonehead and Lauralei can't be together even though she's a mermaid. She should get rid of her tail.
- You know that isn't a real blade. It's foam and it's painted silver to look real. No one gets hurt. VonZipper isn't REALLY cut in half.
- How DO you play Beach Blanket Bingo anyway? It might be fun!
Yes, it's a never-ending snippet of audio clips living with Belle. Love it!
