Music score is so horribly dated.
The music in Tootsie is so dated that I completely forgot that this style of music even existed, even though I was alive at the time.

The music was even bad at the time. Stephen Bishop was never a major singer/songwriter.
shareThis is one of those rare instances where I would welcome a new score. It really is bad.

I had the exact same thought. I can't recall ever thinking that about a movie before. Movies should be left alone. Except for Tootsie. I kept expecting Alf (the lovable alien) to appear at any time. That type of music worked for him. Tootsie would be better with no music at all in my opinion. So much to like in this movie.
sharePhil Collins didn’t write “Separate Lives,” and neither did Marilyn Martin. Instead, the song came from Stephen Bishop, a singer and songwriter who made smooth pop music and who carved himself out a niche writing songs for movies. Bishop wrote and sang a couple of songs on the National Lampoon’s Animal House soundtrack, and he also appeared in the movie, as the butt of a timeless and beautiful joke. (He’s the guy with the acoustic guitar.) Bishop also had songs in The China Syndrome and Roadie and Summer Lovers and Unfaithfully Yours, and he sang “It Might Be You,” the theme from Tootsie. (Bishop’s highest-charting single, the sleepy 1977 soft-rocker “On And On,” peaked at #11.)share
