 Jen played this thing like a piano. Caught "The Kangaroo Hop" from Turner Classic Movies' inexplicable showing of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother last night. It was my sister's and my favorite stupid movie and we watched it every time it was on HBO. 1 Comment Caught the theme to The Kids in the Hall by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet (nutty Canadians). Hilariously Disturbing Chicken Lady SketchThis morning's earworm is the musical phrase that accompanies the visual gag of a Looney Tune turning into a jackass. I don't think the same music plays when one of them becomes a sucker, because the tune really says "yokel," but if someone points me to a Sucker instance, I'd be glad to confirm. It happens here in "Falling Hare," one of the best, at 6:05. I know nothing about classical music, but woke up with what turns out to be Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 banging around my head. Took me a while to identify it and along the way found Victor Borge playing it. "I'm an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande)" a la Lucy and Ethel. And stupid old Fred. A little Monkey Business from the Marx Brothers today. The song today is "Patricia" and every time I hear it I think of La Dolce Vita, which naturally makes me think of French & Saunders. Here's a bit of both. No one can touch F&S. Lucky it's not another Christmas tune. "I Should Be So Lucky" -- the French & Saunders version, of course. Did somebody say "Wwwwwwwish?" It's a Jambi morning. |  Little TunesEvery morning — or just about — I wake up with some snatchlet of music in my head. Some days it may take well past lunch for the theme from "What's Happenin'?'" to work its way out and I figure why should I suffer alone? CategoriesAll ArchivesJanuary 2012 |
