TRACK #414:

Nudist Colony of the Dead by Joyce Mordoh

We can’t just give you a Title Track about a woman and not a Title Track performed by a woman, that would be cruel and unusual. So here comes a Title Track from a film that is itself cruel and unusual.

From Mark Pirro’s 1991 “comedy” comes this absolute hitter from Joyce Mordoh, a through and through Title Track of the highest order.

We recently recorded our 7th volume of Title Tracks on Shindig Radio, and this one was definitely the big dog at that party. I’m not sure when you’ll finally get to hear that episode, but I’m hoping for a 2026 release.

Now, I haven’t listen through any of the raw audio yet, but I remember being pretty unkind toward Mark Pirro’s lighthearted musical. Perhaps too uncharitable. I know why I was unkind (cause I pretty much hate it) but it was late in the episode and I went a bit too hard, I think. If you’ve seen Mark’s other films like A Polish Vampire in Burbank or Curse of the Queerwolf, you have an idea of what’s going on with Nudist Colony of the Dead.

I get that it’s silly and not meant to be taken very seriously. That’s fine. I have plenty of patience for things that are objectively bad or silly for the sake of being silly. But so much of this movie is just bad humor that absolutely does not land, that it’s relentless torrent of unfunny bits just becomes tiresome and annoying. There’s nothing quite as infuriating to sit through as comedy that’s just not working for you. That’s not to say there aren’t of some bits I found funny, or that no one could find joy and humor in it, it’s just that I do not.

But alas, that takes nothing away from what I think is an absolute masterclass in Title Trackery from a woman who was no stranger to the game. She also sang Deathrow Gameshow for Mark Pirro and wrote the Title Tracks for Mark’s summer buffoonery Buford’s Beach Bunnies. Not a bad showing, Joyce. 3 puts you in Irene Cara territory. But nobody can touch the Queen.

So, let’s go bare assed, balls to the wind and stick it to those religious shitheels with a Title Track that’s enough to wake the dead!

Here’s Joyce Mordoh with Nudist Colony of the Dead!
