WITCHY STEW

WITCHY STEW is a showcase piece that features each of the Trashbabies who sing backup and dance for pop superstar Morgan Newbegin throughout his show.  This is the sort of showcase that would come toward the end of the show.  The music is sparse and spooky, designed to stand out in the walla of RESPONSIVE CROWD NOISE to be featured in the movie soundtrack. 

The Trashbabies are drop dead gorgeous, ethnically diverse female dancers wearing shiny, glittering materials cut to show off their supple bodies as they strut, slink, pout and prance throughout the song.  Morgan plays a besieged "innocent," beset by temptation. 

"Look at their hair, the things they wear.
Oh, the things they do.
Designed to please, they strut and tease,
And brew their WITCHY STEW.
WITCHY STEW is program music, complete with musical effects tied directly to the on-screen choreography.  In the following verses, performed by the Trashbabies, musical cues underscore their teasing behavior on stage.  For example, when the Eighth Trashbaby cocks a hip to the crowd, arches her back, sings, "I'm here to have some fun, " then licks a finger tip and touches it to her backside, we hear a sizzle in the music tracks that says this gal is really hot!  Likewise, the Ninth Trashbaby, a busty beauty wearing a zippered leather vest, sings "If you see a lot of me," then runs the zipper down a bit and back up, we hear a musical run that suggests her action.
A little show just let's you know
I'm here to have some fun.
If you see a lot of me,
What harm has been done?

They hide their guile behind a smile.
They'll put a spell on you.
Late at night, by candlelight,
They're cooking WITCHY STEW.

Women dare not be so fair
And not be wicked, too."

The program is great sexy fun, but its purpose, beyond being a crowd pleaser,  is to establish Morgan's style and suggestive lyrics before his "enlightenment."
