Who Gives a Tinker's Damn About a Few Extra Pounds?
Lyrics to Big Blond & Beautiful from Hairspray
"Bring on that pecan pie
Pour some sugar on it
Sugar don't be shy
Scoop me up a mess
Of that chocolate swirl
Don't be stingy, I'm a growing girl
I offer big love
With no apology
How can I deny the world
The most of me
I am not afraid
To throw my weight around
Pound by pound by pound
Because I'm
Big, blonde and beautiful
There is nothin' 'bout me
That's unsuitable
No one wants a meal
That only offers the least
When girl we're servin' up
The whole damn feast
Slice me off a piece
Of that hog head cheese
Then take a look inside
My book of recipes
Now, don't you sniff around
For something fluffy and light
I need a man who brings
A man-size,
Appetite
I'll use a pinch of sugar
And a dash of spice
I'll let ya lick the spoon
Because it tastes so nice
I'll keep it in my oven
'Til it's good and hot
Keep on stirring 'til it hits the spot
Because I'm... Big, blonde and beautiful
And Edna girl, you're lookin' so
Recruitable
Why sit in the bleachers
Timid and afraid
When Edna, You look like the whole parade!
They say that
Black is whack
And big ain't in,
Well that's just bull
Cause ladies big is back
And as for black
It's Beautiful
All shapes and sizes
Follow me
Who wants a twig
When you can have the whole tree?"
* Ahem....is it getting hot in here? This is a great soundtrack. Fun for the kiddies, loaded with inuendo for the grown-ups.

We listen to that soundtrack EVERY day. The kiddies LOVE it. You should see Roxie do that number a la Queen Latifah.
We have seen the movie four times. The DVD needs to be released soon- I can't keep going to the movies!
Did I mention that Miss M is going to be Penny Pingleton for Halloween, I'm Tracy Turnblad, and Roxie is Motormouth Maybelle? My Gay is Link Larkin.
LOVE it! Great message!
I'm struggling to get my arms around hog head cheese! LOVED the musical and agree, the lyrics to the songs are fantastic!
By the time it's out on DVD Riley should be just about ready. Slow and steady here to prepare for movies.
She's got the soundtrack memorized, has seen some videos on You Tube. Loves it but movies are scary. Too noisy and the previews are always too frightening.
Carrie, I'll send you some hog head cheese. It'll be sitting on your doorstep in the hot sun.
I can smell it from here!
Got. To. See. This. Movie.
LOVED this movie and this song is one of the many reasons why!
LOVED the movie and the Broadway show. The songs are so great and always get us all singing and bopping. At the show, we were all up on our feet, clappin and singing, "you can't stop the beat." Bruce Valanch (sp?) played Edna, he was a riot. Hannah got her picture with him after the show. Love the line, "if you don't like the way I look, well, I just don't give a damn, cause the world keeps spinning round and round and....." Totally cool and upbeat movie and show, the best!
HA!
love that movie.
(although Travolta kind of gave me the creeps in it ...)
My ex-sister in law was in the original. "Shake Your Tail Feathers" was sung by numerous family members at least once per day.
