[N] Good Saturday morning everybody, it's I, Trevor Thompson, the self-appointed Looney Tunes
critic and oh my god, how many [G] requests for this cartoon did we get?
I [Db] don't know, [Ab] but I do know that the first person to request it was Bill Langan.
_ _ Bill says, it says here in [Gb] my notes here, and I [Ab] didn't, I can't really read this, so
I don't know.
[Db] Whoever wrote this needs to be a [Gb] doctor because this is chicken scratch.
_ _ [Abm] _ [Ebm] _ [Bbm] Surprised I don't like Frizz.
_ _ _ Chuck _ _ _ _ [G] praises him.
Okay, so apparently [N] Bill _ is surprised that I don't like Frizz Freeling _ _ because Chuck
Jones praises him.
Well, _ Bill, to that end, I would just say I'm sure that [E] _ Chuck's opinion _ of his [N] creative
output post-1970 is very different from mine and hence, just because Chuck thinks something
is so does not [Db] make it so, _ or _ a worthy opinion. _ _ _
_ [N] But I will say this, Bill, _ _ you picked one of the Frizz cartoons that are on my list of _ favorites.
I think this might be [Db] my second or third favorite, the [Em] first one [Abm] being _ _ _ [Eb] Birds Anonymous. _ _
[N] And plus, you know, part of the reason I love this so much is because it's the, _ _ it's
_ Shorty Rogers and Stan Freeberg, really. _ _ _
_ Freeberg is, _ _ _ _ let me just say this, if you don't have yourself a copy of [Gb] Stan Freeberg's
The [G] United States of [Bb] America, _ _
[N] _ you've _ lived a sheltered life.
_ _ _ I wouldn't necessarily recommend _ the second one.
He did a second, it's an album basically, and he did it in the 60s, _ [Db] and _ sketch comedy songs.
[Bbm] _ _ _ [C] But the second one wasn't so good.
[E] _ But I will say [Gb] this, [Db] _ here we go, let's get the Liberace joke in here. _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Dbm] _ I wish my brother [Db] George was [Ab] here. _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ I'm going to do [N] everything I can to not sing _ this song, but I do know every word to this particular [Bb] song.
_ Come _ [Ab] on, cats, we're going to town.
_ _ _ _ _ I didn't plan it this way, folks, but [A] this is the third week in a [E] row _ that [Ab] the [Gb] requests
have dictated that we [N] do Fritz Frieland cartoons that were featured in _ the Looney Looney Looney
Bugs Bunny movie.
_ _ [Db] _ _ But _ [N]
because I watched that so many times as a kid, _ I definitely know this cartoon.
[Eb] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ [N] Yeah, I'm not sure that Mel has anything to do [F] with this, Mel Blanc has anything to do
[Bb] with this cartoon. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
And also the music is all Shorty Rogers, too, that's the other thing you need to know. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
1957, that's right around the time _ Stalling was either gearing up to _ _ retire or he already had.
I think 1958 was when he officially retired, _ and the reason I say that is because I'm pretty
sure he was involved with what's Opera Dock with Milt Franklin, _ but I know it was 57,
58 sometime around then.
[Ab] _
[N] _ _ But no Milt Franklin, no Carl Stalling, all Shorty [Bbm] Rogers. _ _
[Gb] _ [Dbm] _ _ [N] Unlike Cole Black and the Seven Dwarfs, which was, _ _ you know, Stalling had to kind of work
with [D] the jazz [Db] musicians and _ [Ab] _ make the final _ [Dbm] compositions _ himself. _
Unlike this one, [Eb] in came a ray of hope. _
[Db] _ _ You _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ can _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Db] tell, too, just [Ebm] from the ambience in this music.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[Ab] It sounds like they recorded in the exact same [F] _
_ room in the Warner Brothers [Bbm] Orchestra room.
[Ab] _
_ [Db] It's got [Ab] that same building [Db] resonance.
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ [N] yeah, this is the one part where it actually stops [Bbm] the music.
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ Wait, no.
_ _ _ That when I finally did see this [C] cartoon on its own, [E] I was very upset by this part.
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Gbm] _ [Dbm] _ _
_ [Ab] _ The [Db] _ _ [Ebm] only time with the music [Ab] _ actually [Db] comes to a stop. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] The _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _ other person to mention is William Lava, because he was he was around these in these
[D] days, too, [Ebm] starting to be involved [Db] a little more. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bbm] _
was always [Em] sad they didn't have more with the big [Gbm] bad wolf here and other [Ab] cartoons.
_ _ [Fm] _ [E] _ [Ebm] _
[N] Man, Wolf, he learned the rule.
He got to get hot [Db] to play real cool.
_ _ _ How are you not jamming to this, man?
_ It's hard not to jam to this. _ _
_ Oh, Shorty Rogers, man, he can play a tune.
_ _ _ _ _ So, Joe, Mr.
Weatherford, thank [Eb] you for making this request.
I would have done it eventually, but [Bb] I'm glad to do it now. _ _ _
