I know how we all say that Top 40 artists are talentless and worthless.

I was just poking about on YouTube and found this. My mind has been changed.

The protagonist of A Clockwork Orange sexually violates a woman while doing a rendition of "Singing In The Rain".

On that note, I can never hear the song again without thinking of that scene.



P.S. Read the book before you watch the movie, you will understand everything better.

indeed, also makes sure it's the version with the last (21st) chapter, early American versions had it omitted, and I think it critical. The movie lacked that bit as well.
