Ash vs Evil Dead: Top 10 kick ass songs from the show

Apparently Dead – Kids – Courtesy of STARZ

4. Kids – Bruce Campbell and Lucy Lawless from the musical Bye, Bye, Birdie (S03 E03 Apparently Dead)

This song occurred at the end of Apparently Dead and was a complete surprise. Of course, when I immediately heard the male voice I knew who it was and same with the female voice.

Bye, Bye Birdie is loosely based on when Elvis Presley got drafted (another interesting Bruce Campbell connection, Bubba Ho-Tep where the actor played the King) into the Army. In this musical, Conrad Birdie who is the stand-in for Elvis is a singing sensation who is getting ready to do a stint in the armed forces.

A struggling songwriter (Dick Van Dyke) is worried because Birdie was going to record his song prior to being drafted. His girlfriend (Janet Leigh) convinces him to write another number to be used in a contest where Conrad will sing it on TV to a lucky winner.

Actually, Kids is a perfect companion for this episode because Ash is trying to cope with being a father of a teenage girl. Bruce and Lucy’s rendition of this hit is spot on because they both sound like exasperated parents.
