X is for: Xena: Warrior Princes, The Bitter Suite: A Musical Odyssey Original Television Soundtrack (Varese Sarabande, 1998)
Us true fans of Xena: Warrior Princess will recognize this as episode 12 in season 3 of the series, and as a rare musical episode of the finely crafted television program. This episode has all the elements that make you love Xena. Nothing says Christmas like action, drama, evil half-demons, revenge, a very strong lesbian subtext, gratuitous nudity, the land of Illusia, and of course singing.
True die-hard fans like me were blown away to hear the characters of the show sing, and sing well. The music was done by Emmy Award winning composer Joseph LoDuca. These song titles are classic: The Sweat Hut/Slapped Out Of It, Gab Is Stabbed, Hearts Are Hurting (Parts 1 and 2), and of course The Love Of Your Love.
I can talk all day, but sometimes you just gotta see. Here's The Love Of Your Love. Singing starts at 1:40, best of luck:
This Christmas, delight the Xena: Warrior Princess fan in your life by getting them this hot collector's item.
Damn, X was hard.
