Today I learned that the Disney cartoon, TaleSpin, was only in the air for one season. I could've sworn that it had a longer life than that.

That's because there were 65 episodes produced during that one season.

Listening to a Great Courses on daily life in the ancient world: the Egyptians had no ceremony for marriage, and it was both consensual and emotionally driven. There is no evidence of arranged marriage, and love poetry was very common.

If one were to consider what the best ancient civilization to be in as a woman, Egypt would certainly be one of the to contenders. Probably not Athens though.

I haven’t seen it in some time. Possibly never outside of the theater. It’s possible that the music in the broadcast versions are different.

My mind- a demonstrably faulty device- recalls elements of “Julia” “Doubleplussgood” and “Room 101” getting used in the film, albeit not the entirety of any tracks. I believe they might have only used the odd word or two, or certain instrumental sections.




EDIT: the current top comment on the Room 101 video reads:

(emphasis mine)

So it seems like there’s more than one version of 1984 floating art out there, at least in terms of its score.

I recall, at the time, that the director used strictly the absolute minimum of their music required under contract, for the theatrical release. It was published at least in entertainment media, if not more widely. There could well have been tiny bits of instrumental portions, that would have slipped my notice, as that would have been entirely in keeping with what the director was said to have been doing.

That goes for a lot of the Disney cartoons from that time

I don't think Slade every really hit it big here in the United States. Their video for Run, Runaway was in heavy rotation on MTV circa 1984 though. If anyone remembers Slade here, it's because of those videos with the lead singer dressed like Dr. Who.

That creepy dude that looked like Roger Daltry and dressed from the Good Will? He wore a hobo's scarf right.? That was Dr 9 or so? Grown men hanging out in telephone booths, bet Superman would like a word?

And I never heard the original, despite my parents being big on Motown. One day I was trying to remember who did the song and did a quick Google search, and the original came up as something like the 10th result.

EDIT - If you've seen "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" then you have, in fact, head the cover.

Who is that?
