lynnie Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Does anyone know who sang the song, Sittin' On a Dream in the movie The Money Pit, starring Tom Hanks and Shelley Long? I think it was Leslie Uggams, but only the writer of the song got credit in the end-of-movie crawl.If you know, please post an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Hi Lynnie - welcome! The only other person I could find in connection with this song was Kathleen Wakefield. She doesn't list the song on her Web site, but she does have writing credits along with Michel Colombier. Maybe she sings on it, too...? She sounds a little Leslie Uggams-like...

MuzikTyme Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hilarious movie! Indeed, Kathleen Wakefield performed to this slap-stick, mad-cap mayhem of a dream house almost destroying a young couples' hopes and expectations for their newlywed future.

miamisammy29 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 THAT MOVIE SUCKED!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Yes, it sucked in quite a few bucks. You mean to tell me you didn't laugh at this ? Even a seal would laugh, which, coincidentally sounds a lot like the aforementioned segment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Sammy, I thought you of all people would appreciate early Tom Hanks masterworks like Money Pit, Bachelor Party and the very underrated Joe Vs. The Volcano. And you must have liked a few episodes of Bosom Buddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I think most of early Tom Hanks can be summed up as "meh". Bachelor Party, Hanks was funny, everyone else sucked. Joe Vs. The Volcano, meh, Money Pit, sucked aside from the name game scene. Like I said, meh. In my opinion I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Don't be talkin' smack about young Hanks. Turner & Hooch is a slice of pure cinematic heaven, damn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even decked The Fonz. Bachelor Party rules!! (However, it was Adrian Zmed who stole the show in that one! What an actor!!) Joe and the Volcano...ehhh. I even liked Volunteers. But The Money Pit?!...that sucked out loud! It nearly ended Hanks' career, and it DID end Shelley Long's career. She never should have left Cheers.

Hja Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 The one minute, 30 second song "Sittin' on a Dream" in "The Money Pit' was sung by none other than the great Melissa Manchester! I have no idea why the credits did not list her as the performer of this song. If you listen carefully, you definitely know it's Melissa. She is credited for performing this song in her Wikipedia bio... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
