What's your favourite moment in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
So I’m reading this field guide to mammals book at the
moment – I was reading it during my lunch break at work and came across a
diagram of skulls. It’s a pretty weird
diagram because first of all I was given this book as a kid because I loved
animals so darn much so being encouraged to examine dead decomposed animals is
just creepy. And second it says
that the bones of small mammals can be found in the pellets of birds of prey
and inside discarded bottles and drinks cans and can be used to tell these
small creatures apart (because they look too similar with their skin on) but
the diagram, while starting with a rat and a shrew, next has a dog and a horse. Now I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure I
could tell the difference between a rat and a horse without the need to see their skeletons.
And exactly how big a discarded drinks can is a HORSE going
to get stuck inside? And third, it turns out that shrews, when down to just the skull level, look an awful lot
like the alien from Alien.
And then I turned the page and discovered a half page
illustration of poo.
And now for Musical Monday,
Today’s being taken from that weird film that dubs children
playing adults with adult voices but only when they sing, because that all makes perfect sense:
Down And Out
from Bugsy Malone Acting performed by Scott Baio among others but I dunno who are the singing voices Written by Paul Williams
What embarrassing thing have you been caught doing at work?
As occasionally happens when I have a really good idea for a
musical number, youtube does not provide.
And even worse, the topic I was going to use for today’s
post has, it turns out, already been the subject of a previous post. At least some part of The Memory had recorded
this and sent out paranoid signals before I foolishly went ahead and posted.
And so, here is a totally random musical number that youtube
DID have:
42nd Street from, uh, 42nd Street
Performed by Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell and others
Written by Harry Warren and Al Dubin.
