Awesome Music For Awful Movies - Mary Jo Pehl - Kickstarter

[Skyroniter]

Help Mary Jo Pehl create a CD of original songs that pay homage to the films of Mystery Science Theater 3000!


Hello! My name is Mary Jo Pehl.

You may know me as the the leggy (-ish), blonde (kinda) co-star (sorta) of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Cinematic Titanic.

I am recording an album of original songs that pay homage to bad movies of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

After the phenomenal, chart-topping success of “When Loving Lovers Love” from the episode “Overdrawn At The Memory Bank”, tens and tens of people clamored for more.

And so, the Chanteuse of Cinema is back.

I will be singing four or five imagined theme songs to such MST3K favorites as Mitchell, Space Mutiny, Eegah, and of course, Manos, The Hands of Fate.

The songs will be written by veteran Twin Cities musicians Michael Warren, Claudia Hankin, and Tony Balluff, and performed by yours truly in a variety of genres such as power pop, ballad, pop-country, and perhaps a duet even a very special guest singer (wink!).

We will be making this CD available online, available as a download, and at any of my appearances. One or two may also be featured in a solo show that I have been developing over the past couple of years, a version of which debuted in Austin, TX in 2011.

Nice rewards for backing a worthy project. Really love her rendition of “When Loving Lovers Love” and would love to hear more! And I'd love for us to show MJ some love!

Very cool. Saw this on my Facebook page as Mary Jo was kind enough to friend me. Also, Sky, there is a thread in the "Deep 13" section too about this. Maybe you want to combine the threads since you have that Admin power

"When Loving Lovers Love" is one of my favorite songs!! Inspired me to pledge many bucks during the Telethon.
