5 out of 5 stars Way too much fun!.......2002-06-22

I saw a live production of this show in Phoenix, and this CD is the perfect way to keep my memories of that vibrant evening alive! What a tremendous creative effort this represents, and what an affirming and incredibly funny triumph it is for gay folks everywhere! Buy it -- you won't be sorry!

5 out of 5 stars Way too much fun!.......2002-06-22

I saw a live production of this show in Phoenix and have such vibrant memories of it! And this CD is a perfect way for this tremendous creative effort to live on and on. A great addition to your collection -- anyone's collection!

5 out of 5 stars THIS CD RULES.......2001-03-02

I personally love this cd, though i am not gay. All of the songs are good, something you rarely find in a newer musical (for instance: Jekyll and Hyde) and all the actors are great. I especially like the one who sings the Torch songs. Some of the funniest songs are "You've Got To Stay In The Game" which has the male actors dressed up as singing and dancing playing cards, "Not All Man" which has a centaur who doesn't realize he is a centaur wondering "Why do they say I'm not all man?", and especially the Carol Ann Knippel skit, a struggling small-town musical theatre lover, who runs the Melody Barn, and decides to write her own musicals. "Annie 3" cracks me up. "Be a cockeyed oculus! Whistle a happy song! Everythings comin' up....Crysanthemums!" Overall I'd say this is one of my new favorite shows, and you should buy it RIGHT NOW, and if you like this one, buy WHOOP-DEE-DOO!, also conceived by Crabtree, but clearly not as good as WHEN PIGS FLY, though very good as well.

5 out of 5 stars An up in the air musical that never comes down.......2001-01-30

Witty, imaginative, thought provoking, humable- in a word unforgetable. The world lost a brilliant talent with the death of Howard Crabtree. An of course big Bravos to Dick Gallagher and Mark Waldrop and the entire cast. I can't say which is my favorite number because all of them are great, but special mention to The title number, Laughing Matters, and Sam and Me. Get this cd - you won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars This CD is a must for your collection!.......2000-09-21

This CD is absolutely fabulous! The lyrics are sharp and witty, and the score is a perfect complement. This is Howard Crabtree at his finest.

    4 out of 5 stars Jarmusch Sound Track? Surrealism's Musical Love Child?.......2007-05-31

    If Jarmusch had Tarentino's musical love the soundtrack to his movies might sound like this. Requires a knowledge of the public personas of the cover and original performer for full ironic effect.

    AC/DC -> Leslie Gore
    CSNY -> Devo
    Nancy Sinatra -> The Fixx
    Anyone -> Ani DeFranco and Jackie Chan

    Or maybe I've just been transported to the Twilight Zone...


    3 out of 5 stars This might be a joke, but it works........2006-06-29

    "When Pigs Fly" is a neat CD, for the most part. The liner notes don't say anything about how it came about--you know, whether these songs were dug up from other places or whether the producers set out to get musicians to specifically cover songs you'd never think they would.

    Still, it's enjoyable. The main reason I wanted it was that I'm a big Devo fan and "Ohio" is one of my favorite songs. I'm also into the Fixx, and "These Boots are Made For Walking" is a very unlikely tune for them to do. And that's probably what's going to drive anyone to this record: fandom of either the artists or the artists whose songs were covered. If you don't have the context, you probably won't dig it as much. Probably. Guessing about tastes is always a risky business.

    For the most part, this lets musicians show their chops by taking a crack or two at songs they'd normally never do. Some really excel, but some don't. I'd hoped that Don Ho would do a more Hawaiian-sounding "Shock the Monkey," but he tried instead to retain the haunting sound of Peter Gabriel's original, which was kind of disappointing. On the other hand, Leslie Gore, of "It's My Party and I'll Cry if I Want To" fame did a killer rendition of AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap." I mean, it really works. That alone might be worth the price of the album--that is, if you know who AC/DC and Leslie Gore are.

    2 out of 5 stars Not as funny as it reads, but still cute.......2003-11-10

    As a bit of schlock art, this wins, but it isn't as funny in execution as it reads on paper. Much of it doesn't exactly leap off the disc because some of these renditions take themselves too seriously. A switch of some of the artists to more known or displaced artists would have made this a cool in a I-still-carry-a-lunchbox-to-work kind of way: Roy Clark doing "What A Wonderful World" doesn't push out of the paradigm of the in-joke very much, but somebody like Alice Cooper playing it might have.

    Not that there aren't some jewels here: Devo's "Ohio" is a great cover AND a great song, and Don Ho doing Peter Gabriel's "Shock the Monkey" fits so perfectly in with what I was expecting out of this record that I can't understand why the executive producer (Cevin Soling) didn't pursue this type of miscasting thorughout.

    A good idea that doesn't quite live up to the potential of its own shlockiness. Quit being so serious and have more fun with it next time around.

    5 out of 5 stars A Glorious Musical Train Wreck!.......2003-05-09

    At a glance,there are two ways to respond to this album...."Oh dear god,NOOOOO!",or "Hey,there's no William Shatner!". Either way,it's quirky and off-beat enough to be fun listening. But it is uneven.The choice of intersplicing slow songs with fast songs and a rap song,make listening a little bumpy.....I suggest programming your cd player appropriately. That said....let's get out the dissecting scapel.

    Which songs aren't really such a surprise? Roy Clark singing "Wonderful World" is NOT a surprise. It's sung well,but not out of his range.( And it's from a 1991 compilation! ). Billy Preston's "Girls On Film",is another "no great stretch". I have no idea who The Connells are,so "Insane in the Brain",doesn't seem too out of their league. The same goes for Neanderthal Spongecake( WHO???),doing the overly covered "Get It On".

    Which leaves us,with the cream: Devo doing a cool robo-version of "Ohio",not a great shock,but more of a "what took you guys so long?".( Considering they were at Kent State while the shooting took place!). But,it's great to hear Devo explore their political roots! Don Ho is also excellent! His creepy-lounge version of "Shock the Monkey" is great! ( And you can understand his vocals better than Peter Gabriel!). Hermans Hermits (with Peter Noone intact ) do a quite credible cover of "White Wedding". The Box Tops,whom I assumed were out of the music biz since the 60's,do a great "guy-version" of "Call Me". The Oak Ridge Boys cover of "Carry On My Wayward Son",is a stroke of genius! They have great close harmony vocals,so this was a great choice for them....even if their version is a little less hard rock.The Fixx doing "These Boots"....won't have Nancy Sinatra shaking in her boots,but it's good.And finally,there's the "Ying & Yang" of this cd.....it opens with the slow,almost karaoke version of "Unforgettable" with Ani DiFranco & Jackie Chan ( he could be the next Don Ho! ),and closes with the booty kicking "Dirty Deeds" by the Queen of 60's Teen angst....Leslie Gore! She rocks!!

    There really aren't any William Shatner / "Rocket Man",or Leonard Nimoy/"Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins" performances here....even though you'd think there would be. It's a solid cd,and definitely for fans of the offbeat and oddball!

    2 out of 5 stars It Sounded Like a Good Idea...,.......2002-07-09

    I bought this to hear Lesley Gore hear 'Dirty Deeds' and now I'm thinking I should have just tried to imagine it in my head. Like the previous comment, there's nothing really unusual about these covers so they don't even have that much of a 'so bad, they're good', or camp value. The covers are pretty unremarkable, bordering on boring. Oh well, live and learn.

        5 out of 5 stars Pop Punk At Its Greatest.......2003-08-16

        Honestly, "When Pigs Fly" is one of the best CDs i have ever herd. Although i am not a very big fan of Pop Punk, This CD is second to allmost none. There isnt a single track on the CD that i would skip over while listening to it. And although many pop punk bands sound very alike, i think that Agent Felix has their own kind of Pop Punk Sound. If you ever at any point in your life liked a Pop Punk song, then you will like this albem. All the tracks are great, but songs like Behind me and Shes Dreaming are probably the Best. Im Serious when i say its one of the best Albems ever!
