"Words and Music...by, You Know, ...You..."

I've written about Eddie and the Cruisers before HERE. And right now it's on, so of course I'm watching it, and we just saw one of the more ass-bafflingly dumb lines of the whole flick - and believe me, to stand out in this script is like being the best log in the bowl.
What we're doing it's like..it's like someone's bedsheets. You sleep in em, soil em, and ship em off to laundry, you know? What I want is something you can wrap yourself up in forever. We need each other man, words and music, words and music...
I guess my point is, how is it possible that it's almost three decades later, and nobody has recorded A Season in Hell? I mean, how fucking awesome would that be?
