Blue Suburban Skies

"Come fairies take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame." W.B. Yeats.

The Swingingest

This evening during dinner I was listening to the Sweet and Lowdown soundtrack, which put the memory of that Looney Tunes cartoon about the Three Little Pigs set during the 1920's jazz scene into my head. For those of you who are interested:

"The Three Little Bops" is 8 minutes long and first aired in January 1957. It was directed by Friz Freleng, with vocals by Stan Freberg and music by Shorty Rogers.... "The big bad wolf, he learned the rule, Ya gotta get hot to play real cool!"

Did you know there was such a thing as a Big Cartoon Database? And here's a link for Looney Tunes lyrics. Ah, memories.

"Cockroaches and socialites are the only things that can stay up all night and eat anything."

And I just have to share this with everyone: My mom told me that her dad loved to tell people about the fraternity he was in back in his college days. You know the one. It's called "I Felta Thigh."
