Yeah, I noticed that too. Just one of an entire boxload of quirky images that makes this movie stand out from all the others. The attention to detail, for a horror movie, is admirably executed.

I agree, Pete; Alice Sweet Alice always had some sort of 'mystery' about it; it was a spooky, dark film from the first time I saw it.and when I bought a new copy off ebay, I was pleasantly suprised all over again! There are a lot of images that stand out from this film and still 'haunt' my subconcious, so evidently, it did it's intended job on the audience, at least for me. So, it's a lot of 'Catholic imagery', but the characters are pretty strong as well - it's just dark, rainy & creepy - a film that defined '70's horror for me.

That whole scene was twisted (think it was made that way, lol). The record player that was started when he stumbled back into his apartment was playing "Three little fishies", can be heard here:

some of the twisted lyrics - "Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu, and they swam and they swam all over the dam."
The only reason I remember after seeing that seen again, I could recall was from a Three's Company episode where Jack and Janet seen Terry brought home a date, that they thought was a psyhcotic patient, and he muttered those lyrics, lol.

Oh gosh, me too!
They used to play it all the time in Detroit in the afternoons when I was a kid (it might have been in the public domain)
Anyways the three little fishes part really creeped me out as a child and when I just saw it through netflix, I remember how I was really spooked by that scene.
Also, the fat guy was HILARIOUS! He reminds me so much of Divine!

Oh yeah.
When I was a child they should show this all the time in Detroit, I think it must have been in the public domain or something.
Anyways, that three little fishies death scene got to me so much that I always remembered it from the movie. Just watched the movie tonight for the first time since I saw it as a kid and that scene was just directly from my memory.
Oh, and that fat guy was HILARIOUS! He reminds me so much of Divine.
