![bye bye birdie: an original soundtrack recording (1963 film) [soundtrack]](http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000002W1K.01.TZZZZZZZ.jpg)
For some, this early-'60s Broadway musical turned Hollywood spectacle epitomizes "adult" culture's hatred of rock & roll. But its parody of Elvis Presley's entry into the Army (and Conway Twitty's name--the teen-idol character who sings about being "Honestly Sincere" carries the handle Conrad Birdie) isn't the only skewering of a midcentury American icon, as "Hymn to a Sunday Evening," a nod to Ed Sullivan's sacred status, makes plain. It's a brightly colored romp of the sort whose days were numbered, but the premise is funny and the tunes are catchy--and did Noel Gallagher get the line about morning glory here? --Rickey Wright
