Good Morning! It's Saturday: Time fondly remember Bugs in drag and other weekend wonders...



Jack Wild, my 1rst heart-throb

Mickey: my 2nd heart-throb.  It was the shrooms.

When I was a kid I'd wake up, get my favorite cereal and watch shows like H. R. Pufnstuf, Scooby-Doo and as much (really old) Popeye and vintage Bugs Bunny as I could find while my parents slept. 

The best Bugs Bunny was when he was in drag
Yep, in DRAG see link below

 influenced by vaudeville acts while America was distracted by WWII

The trick to finding the really naughty cartoons was to get up super early before the networks put on their newer shows.  Somehow, even back then, I knew how subversively un-PC and risque the animation from the 1940s could be = much more funny than what the kids were getting in the '60s.

(Note:  I've already waxed nostalgic about H. R. Pufnstuf here.)

Now, I get up on Saturday A.M., make a pot of coffee and check out the internet while the kids sleep: It works for me.  Sometimes it sort of feels the same.

To start off celebrating my favorite day of the week I want to offer a few soundtracks to drink your coffee to -- after all I'm celebrating a handy role-reversal for my Saturday morning routine.

I'll start with two music vids which caught my eye with their creativity.

My first offering is from Mashable:
 A truly great "Sad Clown" cover of Lorde's "Royals."




And then for more soundtrack for your coffee and newspaper, how about this cool mix up of Gershwin and Queen?

Love it.

(But not as much as old Bugs Bunny re-runs and Captain Crunch out of the box.)
