Com-Pak Music Theater: The Wonder Twins

revision on 20 June 2024: I added a comment with a link to a cool YouTube video I just found. –JHM

Tonight’s edition of Com-Pak Music Theater brings you more cheese and lots more hair. 🙂

Family legacies in pop music performance have always been fascinating to me (I’m going to post about Wilson Phillips one of these days), and I just recently learned that the duo behind (in front of?) tonight’s band are “double-legacy.” This family apparently made the Guinness Book for being the first one to produce #1 hits in three successive generations. When your grandparents are former radio, TV, and music stars, and your father is a former teen rock idol… Well, I won’t say “what else can you do?” (plenty), but it was certainly in their blood.

“I love them, but the stories just aren’t that big.”

Oh. Holy. Crap.

I’ve gotta learn to be careful what I wish for.

I so didn’t see that coming. Any of it. Brilliance. Sheer brilliance. The bit with the jelly babies was a bit on-the-nose, but bravo nonetheless. Russell Davies is a genius.

Once you’ve seen it (and it has aired here in the US), come back here and tell me I’m wrong. I dare you. 🙂
