The dark side's
calling now nothing is real
She'll never know
just how I feel
From out of the shadows
she walks like a dream
Makes me feel crazy
makes me feel so mean
from a love that's blind
When you slip
to the dark side you cross that line
On the dark side,
oh, yeah
On the dark side, oh, yeah
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
Hi, guys.
Hi.
The dark side's
calling now nothing is real
She'll never know
just how I feel
Hey, Joe,
come on, drink up.
We only got half
an hour for lunch.
From out of the shadows
she walks like a dream
What's the matter
with you?
WOMAN ON TV:
That was Eddie andthe Cruisers doing On The Dark Side.
It was a long time ago,
right, kids?
But take it from me,
Eddie Wilson was it,
rock 'n' roll's
fastest-rising star.
Then on a cold March morning,
Eddie Wilson died.
Tonight at 10:
00 p.m.,for the first time anywhere in the world,
an Eddie Wilson look-alike contest,
sponsored by Satin Records.
It'll be broadcast live,
right here on Rock TV News.
Do you believe this?
Just like Elvis.
Now it's this clown.
Hey, Joe. Joe?
Where's Joe?
(NYC SONG PLAYING)
Say, hey, little girl,
take me by the hand
Walk me down this boardwalk
one last time again
We see those
pretty pier lights
We stop right
at the top tonight
When the Ferris wheel
goes round
You say that
I've been restless
You don't understand
Tomorrow I'll be leaving
on that morning train
Gonna leave this
candy apple town behind
Going to New York City
With this guitar in my hand
Been wishing
Been playing
in these bars too long
Holed up
in your arms too long
Been a prisoner
of my heart too long
Going to New York City
To find out where I stand
And I'll be walking
down Broadway
With this guitar
in my hand
MAN ON RADIO:
The re-issue of the Eddieand the Cruisers' album
has gone platinum
in only four weeks, a major phenomenon.
And with me here tonight
is one of the original Cruisers, Sal Amato.
Welcome to the show, Sal.
SAL:
Thanks.Nice to be here.
MAN:
Now tell me something.In a few minutes, you're gonna
receive the Platinum Album Award
for selling over
a million albums.
How does that feel?
Well, it's hard.
I feel good and bad.
You know, I mean,
for our album
to become this popular after all these years
of being out of release,
never being heard on the radio.
You gotta understand,
with Eddie, music was everything.
I mean, it wasn't
just songs or records.
With Eddie, music was
your whole life.
MAN:
Now tell mesomething, Sal.
What's this whispering we hear around
about some surprise announcement?
Does it have
something to do with the old band?
SAL:
I'm sorry.I can't talk about it.
All right, Sal.
Well, the tension is
building up right here
at Club Metropolis.
(CARS HONKING)
MAN:
She'll never knowjust how I feel
From out of the shadows
she walks like a dream
Makes me feel crazy
makes me feel so mean
from a love that's blind
When you slip
to the dark side you cross that line
On the dark side, oh, yeah
On the dark side, oh, yeah
from a love that's blind
When you slip
to the dark side you cross that line
On the dark side, oh, yeah
On the dark side, oh, yeah
On the dark side, oh, yeah
On the dark side, oh, yeah
All right, everybody.
You have now heard...
Whoa, whoa, whoa
for a second.
You have now heard
the last of the finalists
in the Eddie Wilson
Look-Alike Contest.
We've given Sal Amato
his Platinum Award.
Come on, Sal.
(CROWD CHEERING UPROARIOUSLY)
(CHANTING)
Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!
Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!
(WHISTLING)
HOST:
All right, all right, hold on, here!
At this time I'd like to introduce
somebody from Satin Records.
These are the people
who re-issued Eddie and the Cruisers.
I'd like to introduce
a man by the name of Dave Pagent
who has something
you all want to hear.
he was working on a new album,
an album called
Season In Hell.
(CROWD CHEERING
AND WHISTLING)
Now you all know
that Eddie Wilson is the greatest, right?
Satin Records has just
re-acquired the lost tapes
of Eddie Wilson's
never-released album, Season In Hell!
And we at Satin Records
are now gonna release it just for you!
Now here it is,
in its world premiere!
(WHOOPING)
(MUSIC PLAYING)
(CHANTING)
Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!
Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!
EDDIE:
You know,what I want is songs that echo.
is like somebody's bed sheets.
Spread them out, soil them,
ship them out to the laundry, you know?
With our songs,
I want to be able
to fold ourselves
up in them forever.
You understand?
Bad moon on the horizon
Something in the air today
Hear the sound of thunder
That's a pretty good
imitation of Eddie.
Who is it?
When we re-acquired
the Season In Hell album,
we found another totally unrelated
tape in the box, a mystery tape.
This tape.
And you think
this is Eddie?
Don't you?
It can't be.
Eddie always
played with me.
I knew every song he knew.
I knew everything that he...
No, no, this is Eddie.
What are you
trying to pull here?
There aren't
any tricks, Sal.
I've had the tape analyzed
and experts agree that this is Eddie Wilson.
Screw the experts.
I was his best friend.
I would know if he was doing something.
No, no. His music was
his best friend, Sal.
Don't you understand?
Eddie did not think
you belonged in this session.
He started playing
with other musicians
'cause he was
leaving you behind, pal.
That's a lie.
You're a goddamn liar!
Eddie wouldn't...
Somehow it's never
good enough
At times it's hard
to tell the difference
Between what you know
as right and wrong
(REDUCES VOLUME)
ON MICROPHONE:
Eddie Wilsonwas my best friend.
That meant something
back then.
Maybe you don't
understand that.
(INCREASES VOLUME)
Hey. No, Lew!
Wait a minute.
Wait, Lew. Lew!
Sal's not thinking it's Eddie
makes this even better.
What are you
talking about?
Let me explain
it to you.
The Season In Hell album
will for sure be a big hit, but now...
So?
Now we raise
the question of
"Who the hell played
on the mystery tape? Where was it recorded?"
And best of all, "Were these songs
recorded after Eddie Wilson died?"
What the hell
you getting at, Dave?
What I'm getting at
is creating a rock 'n' roll mystery.
We don't know how
old this new tape is.
It could've
Eddie Wilson's car
went off that bridge.
Because Eddie Wilson's
body was never found.
That's right.
After Season In
Hell goes gold,
we announce that
we have discovered this mystery tape.
Release each cut
of it as a single,
and promote
the hell out of it.
Get people
to start believing
that Eddie
could still be alive.
You know,
"Eddie lives" kind of stuff.
We could arrange
sightings of Eddie,
