Notes on Tarantino's use of certain songs, aware of the power
of imagery to change the songs' impact, reminds me of
Kubrick's use of "Singin' in the Rain" in Clockwork Orange.
Took me a long time before I was able to watch Gene Kelly do
his famous puddle stomp without also remembering Malcolm
McDowell's booting his victim.
As Jean Hagen (no relation) would say in Singin', "I caint
gettim outta my mind!"
