Today's soundtrack recording.

"Shape of Things to Come" is a song written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil from the film “Wild in the Streets”, performed by the fictional band Max Frost and the Troopers on their 1968 album Shape of Things to Come, featuring a lead vocal by Harley Hatcher. The song was a mere 1 minute 55 seconds in length.

The song was produced by Mike Curb for the exploitation film Wild in the Streets, where actor Christopher Jones lip syncs to Hatcher's vocal. A young Richard Pryor portrayed the drummer in Jones's band. The film was released on May 29, 1968.

Wild In The Streets is a cult film and one of my favorites. The plot is based on the younger generation taking over America by spiking the Washington D.C. water supply with LSD and getting Congress to lower the voting age to 14. After Chrisopher Jones (a Jim Morrison-like cult rock star) is elected President, a law is passed mandating that anyone over the age of 30 is to be retired and shipped off to LSD concentration camps.

It's a great soundtrack and the title song reached #22 on the billboard chart as a single.

Here’s the trailer… if you’ve never seen this cult flick, I recomend that you add it to the bucket list!



I saw that Christopher Jones passed away earlier this year.
