Hey you! Wanna catch the L.A. garage band that first recorded the oft-covered rock essential Hey Joe? That would be the Leaves seen here in a performance of in the House of Dr. Stone. The Cool Ones has more cool musical stuff too. Like Glen Campbell on his way to country/pop renown. Plus This Town the song composed by Lee Hazlewood (the film's music supervisor) that would become a Frank Sinatra staple. And the quirky song styling of mid-'60s camp sensation Mrs. Miller. The film's story spoofs the music industry as it unwinds it's loopy tale of a rock kingmaker (Roddy McDowall) and the girl-boy singing duo he plans to rocket to the top of the charts by making them everyone's favorite romantic pair. Tammy TV and film star Debbie Watson plays the duo's starry-eyed ex-go-go dancer and Gil Peterson portrays the handsome crooner whose career had been flat lining. Look for unaccredited Teri Garr (Young Frankenstein).
