Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1941 Robert Clampett directed, Wabbit Twouble, (this is one of the rare cartoons where Bugs is the aggressor rather than the victim.):
For this cartoon, Elmer was redesigned as a fat man (based on voice actor Arthur Q. Bryan's own physique) in an attempt to make him funnier. The "fat Elmer" would only make four more appearances -The Wabbit Who Came to Supper, The Wacky Wabbit, Fresh Hare, and Any Bonds Today? - before returning to the slimmer form by which he is better known. This cartoon was the only time, though, that the Fat Elmer also had a red nose.
The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to celebrate the anniversary of Norah Jones winning five Grammy Awards for her debut album, Come Away With Me on this date in 1993. He critically acclaimed album has sold over 27 million copies worldwide as of 2016. So why don't we all sit back (quick, find the most comfortable seat on the sofa, stake it out for Oscar viewing tomorrow!) get a snack and a beverage and give listen to this marvelous album
The first few months after the Come Away With Me album was released, it was priced around $8. This encouraged people to buy it and helped market the album through word of mouth, as most people who bought it gave it a good review. This was known as the "slow build" strategy.
Norah Jones performed this on Sesame Street with lyrics lamenting the letter "Y" - "Don't know why Y didn't come." The letter "Y" eventually shows up, everyone gets along and we learn something in the process.
Demand Euphoria!
