I Gotta Get You Up and Dressed

10/21/2011

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.

I miss these guys. I miss wanting to play the Roches over and over again, I guess. Caught "The Troubles" this morning.

Is that a badger on your head, or are you just glad to see me?

Sorry about the ad, but this is the complete video from my subconscious. Kajagoogoo, "Too Shy." Stayed with me all day.

A bouncy, Bosko-type cartoon version of "Yes, We Have No Bananas" this morning, complete with muted cornets.

Caught the theme to The Kids in the Hall by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet (nutty Canadians).

Cartoon Jackass Gag Music

10/11/2011

This 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.

It's a toss-up: I got "The Red Blues," from a film I dislike awfully, Silk Stockings, and the "Let's All Go to the Lobby" song from an era I never got to enjoy. I think there was a version for drive-ins (ah, dirty jammies and dangerous playgrounds).

Whither Kiki Dee?

You're lucky I can't find the version of "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" I woke up with: the one Barbara and Julie sang in One Day at a Time. Here's an interesting mini-profile of Kiki Dee and occasionally her an Elton singing the tune.

Is remarkably difficult to find. Woke up with the chorus of schoolgirls who introduce the infinitely more available "Three Little Maids from School."

Here it is performed by the Askes Opera Company of London in 2009.
