God Bless the Housewives…
Good morning, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well today and ready for the new episode this weekend. So, how many of you have heard or have the Desperate Housewives soundtrack? If you don’t, you’re missing out (yes, this includes me). I was exploring Amazon last night and listened to some of the sound clips. There’s a lot of country on it, but there are also songs by Gloria Estefan, Joss Stone and others. One of the cuter things about the CD is the bits of dialog that are spread out through it. They picked bits they really fit each character. Gabby, for example, has the “I’ve been poor but happy before, and guess what? Wasn’t that happy” quote, while they chose Lynette talking about how other mothers make the parenting thing look easy.
By far, the best song on it is called “God Bless the American Housewife”. The song is performed by SheDaisy, a country music trio made up of sisters. The song was clearly written to touch of each character and the video is great as well. Here’s just one line from the song:
“Look at how my children play Commando in the cul-de-sac
Look at how my husband has survived another heart attack
Look at all the other mothers envious of all my things
Have to call the plumber cause my daughter flushed my wedding ring”
The video features Kassidy, Kelsi and Krystin on the set of the show re-creating classic moments from the first season. Kassidy (the brunette) plays Susan and Gabby, Krystin (the blonde) plays Lynette and Edie, while Kelsi (the redhead) makes a scary-accurate Bree. They burn down Edie’s house, get pulled over with the kids acting up in the backseat, mow the lawn in a party dress and other great scenes. If you want to see it, check it out here at the CMT web site. When you finish watching it, why not come back and tell me who made the best “housewife”? I’m personally partial to the one who played Bree. Well, that’s it for now. Check back a little later, when I’ll be sharing a really cute photo. See ya then!
