	Harry Nilsson - Skidoo: Reviews, Track Listing, Audio Clips, and more Music.com
		Harry Nilsson[+] 's soundtrack to Otto Preminger& cheerfully "anti-establishment" film Skidoo is more memorable than the film itself, but that's a bit of a relative statement.
		The film has been almost entirely forgotten, and the soundtrack is remembered only by Nilsson cultists, primarily for the absolutely brilliant opener, "The Cast and Crew," where all the credits are sung, with a really nifty tune on top of that.
		It's not all that striking -- it's just agreeable background music -- except for the end, when Carol Channing[+] sings "Skidoo," a moment that's utterly jarring after nearly a half hour of lulling mood music.

	[ aquarius records new arrivals list #142 ]
		It's the soundtrack to Skiz's low-budget, 'student' WordSound film Crooked, which was previously available as a double with the DVD of said film.
		It seems that these are the tracks that were made expressly for the film, but weren't included on the soundtrack cd that came with the dvd.
		When Stapleton's freak-out guitar and Rogerson's eeriely disembodied / disaffected voice appear (which I've always been partial to), HNAS gets noticeably better in their monochord guitar blurts, plodding percussion, bleeding 23 Skidoo horns, and unnerving atmospherres.

	Skidoo Ghost Town
		In 1923 Skidoo was one of the location sites for the Hollywood film, "Greed" which was the first feature film made in the Death Valley area.
		Skidoo was one of the last gold mining camps in Death Valley.
		One of the unique features of the mining operation in Skidoo was the mining of large amounts of gold ore by going into narrow ore veins using large-scale mining efforts.

	Amazon.ca: Music: Skidoo//the Point [IMPORT] [BEST OF] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [SOUNDTRACK]
		"Skidoo" is the soundtrack to Otto Preminger's famously misguided attempt at a "psychedelic comedy" - I think I saw it once when I was about 7 but it doesn't seem to exist in any of my local video stores.
		"Skidoo" is mostly filler, i.e., instrumental soundtrack music.
		Featuring the soundtracks to, 'Skidoo' (first ever reissue) (1968) and 'The Point' (1970).

	IMDb user comments for Skidoo (1968)
		Skidoo is definitely one of the more entertaining of those "Hey, let's exploit this thing called acid that the kids just dig these days" type film.
		I must say that Skidoo is definitely one of the more entertaining of those "Hey, let's exploit this thing called acid that the kids just dig these days" type film.
		Skidoo was a HUGE production - and, unfortunately, I can't imagine this is EVER going to be released on DVD, VHS, CD, cassette, or eight-track, because I can't imagine the Preminger estate wanting any trace of Skidoo to surface ever again.

	23 (number) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The number of crosses on the hill at the end of the Monty Python film "The Life of Brian" is 23.

	Skidoo
		The pirates invade the boat, led by Flo who sings the film's theme tune 'Skidoo' and...well, they all have a party!
		Of course, the Skidoo soundtrack album was a virtually non-existent rarity in England even by the mid 1970s!
		From the channel-hopping start to the closing yacht Skidoo tries hard to make you like it...or at least laugh a few times but its medley of madness, mayhem and moronic melee ultimately does fail to impress.

	Skidoo
		Angie, played by Frankie Avalon, had a wonderful apartment in the film in which everything worked by remote control.
		These are instrumental excerpts from the soundtrack - each has a strong Nilssonian (or Tiptonian) flavour.
		Rhyming 'asparagus' with 'marry us' is one thing, describing a conversation between ham and lettuce quite another.

	Can't Stop the Music Review - Jabootu's Bad Movie Dimension
		Perhaps not coincidentally, both Skidoo and Must Stop the Music end up being mentioned in the same kinds of film books--ones with titles like The Worst Films of All Time.
		This song is a typical example of what's wrong with the soundtrack and dance numbers.
		That expression on his face seems to suggest he's thinking "Gee, I don't think I'm doing very well, but the movie people said I could be here, and they know what they're doing, so it must be all right." Bruce, if only you knew.

		I soon determined that the song came from an Ill-fated 1965 film called 'Skidoo,' directed by...
		Looking back at the lyrics to the Zombies song, it seems that Preminger made a habit of getting his films' credits set to music (If you know of any other examples, please let me know).
		Preminger suggested he feels so certain that public law 670 does not apply to his portrayal of the FBI in the motion picture "Skidoo" that he would welcome a test of the law in this case if the Department of Justice was so inclined."

	Coda Agency - Mekon (Wall of Sound)
		John was into the industrial funk of 23 Skidoo by the time he moved to London in the early Eighties and, living two doors down from Genesis P. Orridge in Hackney's equivalent of Coronation Street, Beck Road, John joined Psychic TV.
		John undertakes co-writes, production and remixes with a diverse range of artists, alongside creating themes and scores for film, commercials and fashion.
		After that abrupt bookend, Mekon is the sum of all the parts of John's past: the snarl of a perfectly detuned guitar, the thump of a perfectly edited breakbeat, the infused weight of years making, living, listening and collapsing to music.
