The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (77)

Another page from the ACME Catalog -

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with the first Marc Antony/ Pussyfoot Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1952 Chuck Jones classic, Feed The Kitty:



In the Disney/Pixar movie Monsters, Inc., Pete Docter and his team created a scene similar to the one where Marc Anthony puts the cat-shaped cookie on his back. The sequence where Sully thinks that Boo has gone through the trash compactor is an almost shot-for-shot remake of (and an homage to) Feed the Kitty. 


In June of 1979, Robert Palmer released his fifth solo album, Secrets. On this date, July 21, 1979, Robert Palmer released the song Bad Case Of Loving You as a single. We here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour love all of Robert Palmer's work and think he is almost criminally not remembered today. We thought we'd all watch a concert from German TV from 1979 with Mr. Palmer supporting his most recent album at the time.



The song Bad Case Of Loving You (sometimes known as Doctor, Doctor) became Palmer's biggest hit up to that time and continued his momentum as a solo artist.



The song was written by Moon Martin (John David Martin), who released the original version on his 1978 album Shots From a Cold Nightmare. Martin is a singer/guitarist/songwriter from Oklahoma who made his way to California in the late '60s with his band Southwind. When the group broke up in 1971, Martin took on studio work. He took up with Linda Ronstadt, and played on her self-titled album (they lived together at her farm house in Topanga Canyon for a while). He nearly joined some of Ronstadt's other backing musicians (the Eagles,) but ended up a solo artist and signed a deal with Capitol Records.
