But hype aside, the truth abides, regardless of its lateness.
Show’s a business, but you know-- business is a show;
Glamour can be comical, and here is how we know:

Psycho’s tub, and all that blood were filmed in black and white;
And Hershey’s chocolate syrup went down the drain just right!
The first American film that showed a toilet in as much,
and even worse, it was the first we heard one being flushed!

No horror flick had Oscar picked for Best Picture award,
But Exorcist, made Oscar’s list, and then added 10 more.
No girl before had scared us more in every bedroom scene,
Than Linda Blair, whose character she played when just 15.

Jaws shark we hear did not appear til 90 minutes passed.
It took mechanics all that time to bring the monster back,
Turns out that jaws had lots of flaws, that kept it off the track!

Her leading man was promised as a tall dark handsome type,.
Her contract signed, Fay Wray would find King Kong described just right!

Turns out that Fred, the art director to whom she was married;
Suggested she audition and that’s how she landed Carrie.
Sissy Spacek’s hubby loved to race her little Vette;
Her custom plate set hubby straight; It says SISSY, you bet!

The cheaper you can make a film the more you stand to gross;
Paranormal Activity hands down has earned the most.
$200 million worldwide, they grossed in their assessment.
Turns out to be a million three % on their investment!

The stuff they hide, they will confide; and we convert to rhyme.
So do come back, and what we lack, well share another time!
