Wicked Little Town  performed by  John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch  (2001)
Composed by Stephen Trask
Arranged by Stephen Trask
From: USA
Recommended by FlyingDutchman1971 [profile] on Sunday 27th October 2002

A departure from the rest of the soundtrack to this cult-classic film. While the other songs are very much influenced by the glam-rock era with a nod to the songs of Meat Loaf (and why not, considering the film has quite a Rocky Horror-ish feel to it), this is a beautiful little ballad. 'Wicked Little Town' bespeaks the desperation of the character Hedwig who is stifled by circumstances and situations that she feels powerless to change. She knows that there is a big world out there and she wants to experience it and make a name for herself if only she can get out of the 'wicked little town' that she is now confined to. Doomed to remain an outcast who lives on the fringes of society in her present surroundings, she can only cling to her dream of escape and the eventual realization of her full potential.

from Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Motion Picture Soundtrack (Hybrid Recordings HY-20024), available on CD (Hybrid Recordings HY-20024-2)

Other Versions: This song is also available on the orignal stage cast recording for 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch'
