Champagne
Ann-Margret Oliver Reed Lyrics

Today it rained champagne
A son was born again a genius unchained

A life of wealth and fame, wealth and fame!
Champagne flowing down just like rain
Caviar breakfasts every day
Merchant banks and yachts at Cannes
Servants and cars and private sand!

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me, heal me

They flock in thousands strong
We'll just play along a million in reserve
For love, a just deserve, just deserve!
Francs and dollars and peacock's wings
Sequined gowns and birds that sing
Private planes and fishing lakes
Bigger crowds and bigger, bigger
Bigger takes! But what's it all worth?
What's it all worth when my son is blind?
He can't hear the music
Nor enjoy what I'm buying
His life is worthless affecting mine
I'd pay any price
To drive his plight from my mind!

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me

When I was 14 and my little sister was 10, my parents dropped us at the movie theater (they used to do this frequently when they wanted to get rid of us for a couple hours). They dropped us in this movie one night. We were scarred forever. We still talk about it. i am 60 years old now.

Right my Mom took us to see this and we also had the sound track album. She embarrassed us in the theater when they show the weird uncle Ernie part she laughed so loud and hard and we slipped down 2 rows to avoid being seen with her lol

I’m nearly 50, this movie we watched as children it terrifying for a kid. But now it’s the best movie as it shows the truth...such cruel parenting needs to be seen

It's a great film but it probably should have been rated R instead of PG. A lot of parents probably brought their kids to it thinking it was a kid's movie, but it really isn't with the heavy themes and insane imagery.

@monicanichols2957

Lol!

Little lad looks like he's gonna burst into tears any second. Love Anne Margaret in this ❤️

She gives a fantastic performance and should have won an Oscar for which she was nominated.

Tommy actor did a good job, hope he was protected, tough acting job

Must have been weird to act in this scene. Just sit perfectly still and don't react while everyone is dancing around and singing at you. Most kids probably wouldn't be able to manage that.

The strangest film I have ever seen but I was glued to it right to the end!

As an explorer of weird cinema, I have to tell you that it gets much, much stranger from here.

It was probably filled with a non-alcoholic beverage, which explains why he struggled.

No he just grabbed another one when you weren’t looking.

Love this movie.. But why did they have a brown eyed kid to play the part? Did his eyes turn blue when he got older? Sorry I pick things out like that

@BNatoAk

That's pretty good,most people don't see that.

Oliver Reed for an angry father. …. Scary

@kayleighbrown459

I don't think he's angry as much as he is frustrated.

@AlphaLackey

@@kayleighbrown459 In this scene, he's definitely frustrated. When the presumed-dead Captain Walker shows up after the war, then I'd say that's angry.

@DragonsTooth

Poor Tommy!

You know, I don’t think Oliver Reed was doomed to sing poorly per say. It sounds as if he just wasn’t given any direction on how to properly use his voice; he’s just shouting. If he had had some coaching, he could have been a non-singer that worked in the role he played.

@KeizerHedorah

it's good as is, coaching him wouldve sent the movie into rainbow land 🌈🌈

@jeffreywillstewart

I agree, he's a brute, he should sing like one. Could you just see Ollie. " me, me ,me ,me me "🎼

@palmereldritch7777

It's perfect Ollie singing, and i could totally get why Ann Margret would fall for him voice and all.... Oliver Reed was doing Tom Waits/Ian Dury before they were invented.

He had a single out in the 60's called The Wild One, it's pretty good. Pete Townshend has said for the Tommy movie Oliver's vocals were patched together from many many takes but he got better as he went on.
