I absolutely love how passionate it is about the discrimination of minorities and how it had to change. Big people, women and african americans especially. Such a good movie/musical.
What I really love about these songs is that they show very accurately the differences between ways of making music in the 60's, for Amber, and the other two girls' version, it is very inspired by the sounds of little Peggy March, Lesley Core, and Joannie Summers. And for the Dynamites' version, it's clear how they are a representation of the power trios of Motown Records, such as The Supremes, The Marvelettes, and even The Ronettes. I have always loved that detail about this part
Excellent point! In The UK alot of Boyband/Girlband Icons do "Cover Versions" of songs by Chic, Diana Ross, Dan Hartman, Adina Howard and even Freak Me By Silk that went to Number One in The US and Another Level did their Version that went to Number One in The UK.
The Clara ward singer (a gospel girl group) performed at surprisingly the playboy club in 1960 ( here on CZcams) and the jump around dancing and gospel break down are very similar to the singers here.
Notice how post civil rights movement most of those white artists singing this music, pretty much disappeared, because up until then the only that defined “white music” was skin colour. Whereas many of the black groups under Motown had a resurgence in the 70s with Philadelphia sound and disco and were able to survive well into the 80s for some.
Best part was at the end of this song when Michelle tells queen latifah that they better watch because they did the same song and queen latifah is like, "they wrote it." I damn near died.
This is brilliant storytelling. The song seamlessly transitions the story from the narrative of Amber's jealousy of Tracy to the tensions of segregation and Von Tussle's attempts to undermine and take advantage of the black performers/Maybelle.
I do love both versions bc it really does show the different styles. But the black girls are just amazing. When the gospel breakdown happens you cant help but to dance.
+Nelson Corallo You must be extremely uneducated. Lecoleeco's comment was not racist, he was classifying who he was talking about. It would have been racist if he was rapacious and was rude about their race.
Children need more movies like this. This film had so many powerful messages and executed them so well and genuinely. I love how they pointed out how much talent the black girls had compared to the white girls. That they had to essentially work twice as hard to be met with not even a fifth of the credit or success they were entitled. I remember watching this as a kid and it really opened my eyes to so many things I took for granted and helped me better empathize with all kinds of people. Love this film.
I especially really appreciate Cornie's line in the movie: "Isn't this where it's all headed anyway?" It's commentary on the civil rights theme of the movie that goes beyond just The Cornie Collins Show, just their studio, and just integrated TV. It's an acknowledgement that even if things change for their studio, that doesn't mean the fight is over. This is an issue the whole world is gonna have to address, and heaven help them in they're not on the side of justice.
I also love the way Amber looks so confident while singing on the show about telling the homecoming queen to hold onto her crooooooooown, thinking she's the new girl in town, and later realizing that she's not and that she's the one that has to hold onto her crown. If that makes any sense. LOL.
I literally can’t get over how funny it is when the redhead bitch constantly tries to smack the fuck out of amber, and goes so far as to actually attempt murder with a group of other dancers (the rocket was way too high up she would have broke her neck, if not her spine)
TF you all are doing idiots? Stop being racists with each other. We got it you have an opinion but keep it for yourself as long as you want to play dumb and childish.
How has no one acknowledged that when the Dynamites came out in full song, Queen Latifah was living her best life behind that podium? Girl I was right there with her grinning, clapping, and getting my life.
i love both versions. i especially love that the movie makers didnt try to make the first version bad compared to the second. just a different sound. but you end up liking the second more because it's their original song that gets stolen like what happened at the time the musical takes place. mini history lesson
i can definitely tell why others like it though. they have a unique sound... and while i don't necessarily like it, i can see where they're coming from.
My favorite part. Haha. Like in the pageant when it was Shelley's turn she even stares Amber first and almost hit her when she was dancing. And in It's Hairspray Amber pushes her and Lou Ann's hand out of the way and giver her a dirty look.
U can tell that song was made to be sang by people with a soulful rock type voice I've always admired the way black artists incorporate these gospel type harmonies in other genres of music its super dope
I love how both versions are very different in style but they are both still so good! The first version is more understated and easy going but it’s still very pretty and fun. Then the second version is much more stylish and flows better while being just as fun and exciting!
I just realized something disturbing. At the end of the song they sing "Hey look out for that that moving van! Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out! She WAS the new girl in town." I just thought they meant "Hey look out for the moving van, that means that a new girl has just come to town and you better watch out" but then they said she WAS the new girl in town, and covered their mouths in shock. The new girl got hit by the moving van. She died. She WAS the new girl in town.
I watched this movie today with my mom, I noticed the WAS, I asked my mom what they meant by that, she told me this, I was petrified. That also made me remember that my sister told me the same thing when I was little and had it on VHS.
I love the whole scene. The White version is great. The Black version definitely added some soul to the song. That is definitely one of my favorite scenes of the movie.
i agree ecept i think the song fit better with the white girls because they were girls, teenagers so the school girl lyrics made more scents the black woman were 20-30sh adults ,but maby they had different versus
1:11, that transition with the three in the center and the dolly shot pushing in an then the pull out, also the choreography with the spinning at the transition, is just so good!
the lead dynamite is perfect, magnetic and really believable as the beyonce of her girl group. the other two support her perfectly and feel different to one another, excellent ensemble work that makes this song so enjoyable.
This was a very important scene where you see how the same song can have two different versions. The "White" Version got more airplay and the "Black" Version was limited to The Black Community. Remember they did that in Dreamgirls with The Cadillac Song.
laminage That's not quite right...although I do agree with the overall statement, in Dreamgirls "Cadillac car" represents the fact that "white people" took original songs from the "black people" and took credits for it. Where as "The new girl in town" represents the fact that two equally (the word "equally" is very subjective here) parties aka "black" or "white" gets unfair treatment when it comes to broadcasting time, in this case the favour is to the white folks.
Oh yes. Growing up, I was stunned to know that a lot of Songs were obscure R & B Songs. Everyone from The Manhattan Transfer (Boy From New York City), Anne Murray (Just One Look), Celine Dion (If You Asked Me To), and Cry Baby (Janis Joplin) covered R & B Songs.
Nathanael Gapomo Actually, literally right after the number Velma is outraged the black girls picked the same song even though they themselves wrote it so it is a lot like Dreamgirls
@@supernnnnlive Right! Yet in The UK it's a common practice. In fact one of Banarama's earlier Songs was "He Was Really Saying Something" by The Velvelettes who were next to The Contours two of the most overlooked and obscure Groups in Motown's Early Days. They would kick the door open for every future UK Girlband that came after them.
I would have really loved to see this song added to the stage musical. I love both versions, how one is very Bubblegum Pop and the other a Motown/R&B version. It would be so fun to see it on stage. The finale with the gospel twist is so uplifting and fun!
I love this 2007 version of Hairspray I have it and and the black girls call the dynamites singing group are awesome they show up throughout the movie on poster boards and things like that just an awesome Musical
Man, this brings back memories. Back high school the freshman girl's choir performed this at a concert, and one of the boys was accidentally placed in the girl's choir class at the beginning of the year. So during that concert he played "The New Girl In Town" and danced around the stage in drag while the girls sang. It was absolutely priceless
+RockyHorror Gleek In Grease Live! they did Hoplessly Devoted and You're The One That I Want, both of these songs weren't in the original Broadway version, only in the movie!
If you pay attention closely, there's a scene closer to the beginning of the movie where they play a couple brief excerpts of this song as instrumental incidentals in the background of the scene.
All Of The Girls killed it. For Amber she took it to a bullies point of view of The New Girl with her Posse The Other Girls took it to a positive light of The New Girl in Town & that's what makes it so powerful
The difference between the two groups boils down to this: White Girls: Sweet, cute innocent pop Black Girls: Soulful, sassy and with attitude *In other words, you can fun time with a good girl or you can a good time with a fun girl.........*
"Why did you pick the same song!"
"They wrote it."
such an underrated film

Hahahaha I know, I love that part. Wish it was in this clip.
Absolutely! Her face is just like “Really, bitch?”
That’s like a story of every American pop/rock n roll song ever xD
The white version were the dry ingredients and the black version was after you add the seasoning.
I'm always wondering that line means "they(brodcast) wrote the script" or literary "they(girl band) wrote the song".🤔🤔🤔
They went from "She's the new girl" to "Hey look out for that moving van... she *was* the new girl in town" lol rip
omg! i didn't even realize that LOL
leeardamer lol
Actually, the moving implies that another girl moved into town, better than her, so now shes not the cool new girl anymore ;)
Daniel Perrea Could be either but yours sounds more accurate
Daniel Perrea i really thought she got hit by the moving van hehe

I know! They *NEED* their own version.

It’s similar with the Dreamgirls over the Cadillac Car song.

their sassy neck moves
their gorgeous orange dresses
their voices🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Yup. It's their voices for me. Black women in general tend to be the best singers.
I like both versions tbh. I like how the first girls were cute with it, and how the second one were sassy and just made it more of a bop overall
Can we talk about how angry Shelly looks every time Amber speaks lmao!!!! Its too funny!!!
LOL

I think the actual use of “was” to imply that she used to be new. Now that she had moved in, she was no longer new.

Oh my god, the black girls SANG IT!!!!
"Hey Look Out For That Moving Van, Look out, Look Out, Look Out, LOOK OUT
She Was The New Girl In Town"
So What She Got Hit By The Van And Died?
Moving van, as in the stuff that moves your furniture etc...moving van is a metaphor for the new girl.
Kind of like the Shangri-las "Leader of the Pack" with the "look out look out LOOK OUT LOOK OUT!"
It sounds like it XD but I think they ment as in look out: here comes the new girl... as look out for that moving van: its the new girl
She gets hit by the moving van at the end. I think some of these other commenters didn't listen to the whole song.
George Wang Oh my god I get it now. Their surprised reactions, the use of the word "was". Lol thanks I love this song so much more now.
I honestly like both versions!

Yep the black girls were sophisticated and sassy 💁🏾♀️ love it 💗💗💗
All Of The Girls killed it.
For Amber she took it to a bullies point of view of The New Girl with her Posse
The Other Girls took it to a positive light of The New Girl in Town & that's what makes it so powerful
The difference between the two groups boils down to this:
White Girls: Sweet, cute innocent pop
Black Girls: Soulful, sassy and with attitude
*In other words, you can fun time with a good girl or you can a good time with a fun girl.........*
no its about white people stealing songs from black artists and takking credit
@@Gabe-qd4gz They never said what the song was about, chill
@@not_obsidian my only issue is what the comment implies, and I don't like it!
What are asians like then?
@@Gabe-qd4gz - I'm talking about the way the song is sung not how one group took it from another.....
