Episode 34: You’re No Longer On the Shelf (1966)
Manage episode 374797448 series 3436251
Though the British Invasion of pop songs took place two years earlier, British cinema was becoming popular in the mid-1960s thanks to London taking the theme of the Swinging '60s very literally. Two of the Oscar-nominated songs from 1966 are title songs about two sexually-charged Brits, while one of its Oscar competitors is a very innocent (and brief) tune by the prim and proper British lady (at least onscreen) Julie Andrews. And then there's a surprise hit song by two newbies to the Oscar race about lion cubs raised in Africa. Want to know more about these songs and the songwriters who created them? Listen to host Jeff Commings on this episode of The Best Song Podcast!
