Cry Baby

The 1990s teen musical which is set in the 1950s Baltimore stars Johnny Depp as the teen rebel Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker.
The film is a parody of other teen musicals such as Grease and Hairspray, and you can clearly see the trend in the plot; it centres around a group of teenage delinquents who are referred to as the "Drapes" and another subculture of teens called the "Squares." Cry-Baby, a member of the Drapes falls passionately in love with Allison, a Square, which creates upheaval and turmoil in the little town of Baltimore.

I thought the film was fantastic, funny and amusing! Of course, the music in the film is what made me like it even more :D
These are a few of my favourite songs from the film:

Sh Boom - Baldwin and The Whiffles

King Cry-Baby - James Intveld

Cry Baby - The Honey Sisters

Mister Sandman - Baldwin and The Whiffles

Teardrops Are Falling - James Intveld

Bad Boy - The Jive Bombers
