Goonies Never Sing Die
Rob Dean emailed me about a Goonies musical, and when I say a Goonies musical, I mean his Goonies musical, which he’s co-writing with his pal Keith Doughty. The two of them have been working on their songs for eight years, long before talks of a real Goonies musical ever materialized. At any rate, Doughty and Dean have four of their songs on YouTube; that’s “Sloth’s Song” above, and the other three are here. Check ’em out, and then someone call Corey Feldman — I guarantee whatever he has lined up isn’t better than this.
