For me, it's a tossup between 1951/What About The Boy? of Christmas, because they both highlight Ann-Margret's stunning vocals.

Agreeed about Ann Margaret, she has a gorgeous voice. What about the boy is one of my faves but also Champagne

I touched the soil and he loved me back

I think Champagen is fantastic, too, but more because of the visuals--Ann-Margret riding that white satin "hot dog" pillow was one of the most erotic things I had ever seen in my (then) 14 years of life. But her voice is much more dramatic in the other 2 songs. That vibrato, and her passionate facial expressions just overwhelmed me.

I can't imagine anybody playing that role better than she did. I had never seen her before, but became an instant fan and have remained one ever since.

I have to agree. Champagne really does it for for me thanks to the visuals. I was 11 when I first saw it and had no idea who Ann Margret was. Seeing the beautiful creature let herself get covered in all that mess then hump that pillow did it for me. I'm a fan of hers and never looked back :)

The 'See Me, Feel Me' finale of course with him returning to his place of conception and climbing the mountain. Fantastic visually but it's Roger Daltrey's vocals that tie the movie together.

I love Christmas.

See Me song at the end of the movie. I always sing along with Roger when he sings that song.

Although there are many memorable songs in this fantastically bizarre movie, I have to admit the finale is my personal favorite...man, that Roger has an awesome voice.

Even though I could never hear it without picturing those creepy Marilyn Monroe masks, Clapton doing "Eyesight to the Blind" is incredible.

"Good gravy!"
"Thank you. It's just brown and water."

I thought Eyesight to the Blind was even better than the one on the album. Fiddle About was good, too.

But my absolute favorite is See Me, Feel Me. It's such a wonderfully emotional piece.

Cousin Kevin, Eyesight to the Blind, Go to the Mirror... basically all the celebrity cameos. They were all reat. Except Fiddle About, that was just weird and gross. Keith Moon should've gotten a better part than the gay child molester.
