Good Morning Baltimore - Hairspray (musical) (Marissa Jaret Winokur) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Based on John Waters's fun-filled 1988 film of the same name, Hairspray the musical opened in Seattle in 2002 and moved to Broadway later that year, channeling themes related to racism, body image and social change into a music and dance-packed romp fit for all the family. John Waters was born in Baltimore and has often turned to the Maryland city as a source of creative inspiration for his campy, cult productions throughout his career. He located Hairspray in '60s Baltimore, and the story follows the journey of teenager and dance hopeful Tracy Turnblad who longs to dance on the hilariously named The Corny Collins Show. The Hairspray soundtrack is a rip-roaring ride through feel-good, '60s-inspired showstoppers. Opener "Good Morning Baltimore" forms the backbone of this, marking the start of a bright new day in Baltimore while weaving in vocal effects reminiscent of The Ronettes' 1963 smash-hit "Be My Baby".
