A Dolly for Sue

"The Island of Misfit Toys," caught from the office.

What's wrong with a spotted elephant? But honestly, I don't care what the name of the creature in a Jack-in-the-Box is, that's one scary-ass toy.

I Gotta Get You Up and Dressed

This is the third day in a row I've had Doris Day, Bugs Bunny, and Jack Carson singing "Freddy, Get Ready" (Hungarian Rhapsody) from My Dream Is Yours (1949).

Wash your hair and wash your face and part your hair the proper place
Wash wherever dirt appears and don't forget behind your ears
Getcher shoit and getcher pants you haven't got anudda chance

Start the video at about 2:45.

Tralfaz...Yecchh

Picture
Right, Rorge
Woke up with Don Messick in my ear voicing Astro, the Jetsons' dog. Turns out it was my actual dog, Charlie, wanting very much to go outside. Now I have lots of Jetsons incidental music and words rattling around my brain.

I got stuck on "Tralfaz" in several voices of Daws Butler and am calling my dog "Rastro" for the rest of the day.

I present "Millionaire Astro," season 1, episode 15 of The Jetsons, courtesy of the wretched WB. 

I'm sorry for the commercials.

"My Hero Zero," a nice little Schoolhouse Rock from the back of my head.

One TImes Eight Is Two Times Four

I love this song, but don't find it as useful for the eight times table as, say, the Schoolhouse Rock "Three Is a Magic Number" song is for the three times table.

But I'm a sucker for cello and Blossom Dearie.

It came to me all of a sudden while marching from the bus to the Metro station: the theme from Peabody's Improbable History.

Well you know they're nouns. A Grammar Rock installment this morning. Caught, no doubt, from Joseph Gordon-Levitt's homage.

    Little Tunes

    Every 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?

    This page is a record of my daily earworm.
