@Duckman33 I get the exact opposite feeling! The film version is done with a smirk and it clear that Herod is a crappy king, the album version tells me "standard, cardboard hero". Which I think makes it boring.
Film Herod reminds me of Jon Lovitz. Weird that we have such an opposite reaction.


I think for me, I grew up listening to the album version for years before I saw the movie, so I'm kind of partial to it. I have noticed folks (me included) tend to gravitate towards the first version of a song they hear and mildly like or even hate other versions, even if the other version was the original recording.

Having just heard both of the songs, I actually prefer the movie version. He's a worse singer, certainly, but the album one that @Duckman33 seems too polished to me. I like the super campy style and "roughness" of the movie version.

I have to say, I am NOT a fan of this version of the song. The singing, at least. The studio album was so much better. I think it's one of the only performances in this I prefer in the albums to the movie (Other than the goofy voices of the pharises.. phar.. However that goes.)



My problem with this version is he puts absolutely no emotion or feeling into the song. It sounds robotic and stiff like he's just going through the motions and really isn't enjoying singing it at all.

P.S. Alice Cooper recorded a demo of this song for the original soundtrack too. I didn't like his version much either.

It's a rock opera, more or less. Much like Tommy, Jesus Christ Superstar, or Hair. It's definitely -not- much like the traditional 50's musical...there's not all that much dancing.

I was introduced to the movie in an apparently unusual way. First, my friends hooked me on the soundtrack (it's still one of my favorite albums)...once I'd grown to love that, I finally managed to get around to seeing the movie.

I'd never have guessed that Susan Sarandon had such a nice voice.

My absolute all time favorite movie. Well this and "Jesus Christ Superstar". "Pulp Fiction" would be right up there at the top also.
