that Daffy plush after being released from your iron grip:

(post this is in reference to)

ABSOLUTELY. the plush has no neck support which is very funny to me and why i got him, and im sure i crushed the remainder of what was there out of him

speaking of, here is a self portrait i started on the plane ride home but suddenly was aware of how nonsensical this probably looks to the people sharing the aisle with me. but here is my prize catch

Lee Marvin - Wandrin' Star (1969)

I was recently driving up Highway 1 from Santa Cruz on a very rainy night, and this song popped up. It was a perfect moment. Probably one of the most unlikely one-hit wonders, with Lee Marvin delivering his vocals in a very low, croaking voice with Nelson Riddle's score behind him on the soundtrack to Paint Your Wagon.

Do I know where hell is? Hell is in hello

Song of the Day - “All Or Nothing At All”

Today marks the 85th anniversary of Frank Sinatra first recording “All Or Nothing At All” - August 31st, 1939 - at the Columbia Studios in New York, backed by Harry James and His Orchestra.

This gorgeous song was written by Arthur Altman and Jack Lawrence, was recorded only once before Frank did it, and has since been covered by nearly 350 artists…

This 1939 Frank version is perfectly fine, but this early Sinatra was just not quite what would become…

Frank returned to this song later… and so brilliantly… on his 1966 “Strangers In The Night” album.

There are very few other songs twice recorded by an artist…and this second version, of Frank doing “All Or Nothing At All”, arranged and backed by Nelson Riddle and his orchestra, is the definitive version … hands down… the stars aligned…

Obsessed with "Milkman Keep Those Bottles Quiet" thanks to you! Also showed KITTY KORNERED (1946) at my recent holiday party and my guests had such a blast with it, it's so insane :D

really showing my tardiness with these asks!! i apologize!! SO GLAD TO HEAR IT THOUGH, that’s a really fun song! the songs that actually play in LT shorts are great (duh), but i have a lot of love for the songs that get referenced in quotes but don’t actually play. like this one! Beat Me Daddy Eight to the Bar is another one of my favorites that fills this niche (as immortalized by our favorite duck in A Coy Decoy)

AND YAAAAAAY!! oh my goodness i’m so happy to hear this!! that sounds like so much fun to watch in a group setting :’) it’s one of my Immortal Three in the Piggy Bank-Bottleneck-Kitty trifecta and so i only try to watch it on special occasions so the novelty stays fresh and that my love for it is as powerful as ever… it can be hard to abstain from such a good cartoon but DANG is it worth it! i’m so happy to hear this!!

Is your "#heeey academia" tag supposed to be like to the tune of The Macarena? (or more closely the Animaniacs parody Macadamia in which they pronounce it as 5 syllables ma-ca-da-mi-a)

It is! Nice catch 💙
