you’re not the only starfish in the sea

A dear friend asked me for a copy of The Minx (1969) soundtrack (as performed by one of my favorite 60s pop groups The Cyrkle) recently and I thought, because sharing is caring, and because it is pure genius, I will give you kids the download link too.
from the imdb plot summary: “A businessman hosts a hunting party at a remote lodge, and hires three prostitutes to take care of his clients. However, the girls have their own plans and secretly install cameras in the bedrooms to record the activities for future use..”
So, ok, it’s basically pseudo-porn; but it is very, almost disappointingly, mild given today’s standards.
But! this pornish film doesn’t have the typical techno-ish, melodyless-yet-immediately-recognizable-as-porn-music soundtrack! no sir!
It has jingly pop gems like “Murray the Why” and “Squeeze Play” all performed by The Cyrkle, a two-hit-wonder band with a brief cameo in the movie who are mildly famous for “Red Rubber Ball” (which was actually co-written by paul simon, and contains the lyrics ‘now i know you’re not the only starfish in the sea’ and ‘the morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball’, which is simile-icious, and it is above and beyond my favorite break-up-themed song ever, also, sweet-baby-moses!, this might win the Longest Parenthetical Thought Ever award.)
Ok, so I recommend this soundtrack if you dig 60’s pop music or if you consider yourself a porn historian.
Download it HERE.




wouldn’t that be a pornstorian?
or perhaps a porn-xxxpert?
PornstArchivist?
(Also, I *love* “Red Rubber Ball”…haven’t heard that for (gift) donkey’s years. Will have to download this all when I get home later; for now I’m going to leave this page very quickly before the sysadmins here see how many times the word “porn” appears here (9, including this comment).)
moar posts w/ porn tag pls.
Thanks for the awesome music, I’m a sucker for sappy pop songs.
