Thread: Musical rotating horror doll on Ebay

Tweet

We did a lot of dolls this last Halloween, and everyone would say "you should sell these"... So I am giving it a shot.. This is a fairly unusual doll even by my standards... If it doesn't sell, I am keeping it for all eternity ! If a Halloween Forum member wins and lets me know.. I will add something extra special for sure. http://www.ebay.com/itm/strange-rare...47678859811342

That is really something! Do you have a video with her moving, and the song? That might help with the sell!

Here's a horrible video of it.... naked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEqGD...ature=youtu.be

Anyone know what the song is? It's so familiar, yet I can't quite figure it out...

Bumping in the name of shameless promotion.

Almost over.. Got one bid so far.

Less than an hour left!

lol
I hate to keep bumping it ... buy, yeah.. hopefully the last bump.

Love Makes the World Go 'Round (Theme From ''Carnival!'')

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Love Makes the World Go 'Round" is a popular song written by Bob Merrill for the 1961 for the musical Carnival! which debuted on Broadway in 1961.
Carnival!'s equivalent of "Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo" the signature song from the musical's parent film Lili, "Love Makes the World Go 'Round" is played on a concertina at the play's opening and is later sung by the characters Lili and Paul Berthalet, with the latter being concealed while his puppets apparently sing.
In scoring Carnival! Bob Merrill had hoped to utilize French folk music as his touchstone eschewing the conventional Tin Pan Alley style of song predominant in Broadway shows. During the development phase of Carnival! Gower Champion and Michael Stewart - respectively set to direct the musical and write its book - would visit Merrill's apartment every morning and leave each afternoon disappointed by the lack of any evident hit song in the proposed score Merrill had played for them. When seeing out Champion and Stewart one afternoon Merrill became irate at his visitors' attitude telling them: "While you're waiting for this f**king elevator I can write the song I know you want" and improvising a tune reminiscent of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Carousel Waltz". Whether or not Merrill was making a serious song pitch Champion and Stewart's response to Merrill's impromptu composition was so positive as to demand its development into a full show tune for Carnival!, the result being "Love Makes the World Go 'Round".^[1]
Jane Morgan released a single of "Love Makes the World Go 'Round" which served as the title cut of her August 1961 album release on the Kapp label. The Everly Brothers also recorded the song for their album "Instant Party", it's title appearing there as "Carnival". "Love Makes the World Go 'Round" has also been recorded by Ann-Margret and Wayne Newton.
