On Skidoo, Harry’s first soundtrack LP, Nilsson curiously receives full songwriting credit – even for the music cues and orchestrated instrumentals. Arranger George Tipton, who had recently worked with Harry on Spotlight On Nilsson, Pandemonium Shadow Show and Aerial Ballet, seems more likely the composer of most of these incidental pieces, however. Except for the title track, “Skidoo,” and Harry’s “I Will Take You There” melody (renamed “Goodnight Mr. Banks”), Tipton seems to be doing the bulk of the scoring work, all while officially given the traditional title of arranger. Harry sings only three self-penned songs on the soundtrack, but the instrumental work is still entertaining on its own, and “Tony’s Trip” is a standout.

But you just haven’t lived until you’ve heard Carol Channing belting out Harry’s campy “Skidoo” in the movie’s big, showbiz finale. Harry’s “The Cast And Crew” received industry notice as Nilsson inventively sang the movie’s closing credits, including stars, cast and extras, at director Preminger’s behest. Produced by Rick Jarrard.
