The Worst Witch (1986) 'Halloween Song'

The Grand Wizard (Tim Curry) performs a song in front of the witches on Halloween. Oh yeah, has anybody seen his tambourine?

Producer: so there's this new thing called a green screen...
Tim: hold my tambourine.

[jacke.]

Tim Curry performs this like he thinks it'll get him an Oscar and honestly it should've

[nallorlives]

Only Tim Curry could pronounce the word "of" with approximately 27 syllables

[Geekus]

Fun fact: there are no special effects in this video, Tim Curry just made it happen... on Halloween.

[zeuswan]

Tim Curry: "What's my motivation?"
Director: "Can you give us David Bowie?"
Tim Curry: "Say no more."

[emotivesand]

Tim Curry is like an impersonation ofJeff Goldblum impersonating Bowie.

[AngelSutcliff]

Editor: "so how many effects did you want again?"
Director: "yes."

[BiancaHeuvelmans]

I want to walk down the aisle to this.

[artizek]

We have truly reached the pinnacle of human achievement.

[jamesharbinson]

It's like Thriller but the Italian version of the Bollywood version, filmed in Poland

[ZombieWeiss]

those 'cape-sticks' are so hilarious and the 'has anybody seen my tambourine?' line gets me every time!

[topgrowthexperts]

I haven't seen this for 30+ years and I still remember the tambourine line!

[theFlyingMinister]

Tim Curry is a National Treasure for the whole world.

[zackburke]

There's a good chance that Tim had that outfit before being cast in this amazing role.

[ChrisOliver]

This is the greatest thing created in human history.

[TheHauntedMouth]

It feels like he had the intro all prepared, had some of the other lyrics hastily written the night before, and by the time he gets to the tambourine he's just frantically making it up as he goes. But everyone still loves him in the end because he's so sincere about it all. Such subtle writing for this defining moment of the Grand Wizard's character encompassing all his strengths and flaws.
