Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with the 1953 Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon, Robot Rabbit (featuring Elmer Fudd), directed by Friz Freleng.
Look for it: When Bugs says, "I see this cigarette machine's gonna cause me no end of trouble," as he gets chased by the robot, his mouth doesn't move.
ACME wants you to join them in celebrating the holidays with your friends at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour - the official soap of our nation's bald eagles. Remember if your bald eagle's talons are filthy, do we have a soap for you! The holiday season is once again upon us and we are in the middle of Hanukkah. In the past, we're sure your home would be bursting with the various mishpocha, soiling your hand towels. This year, your bathroom linens remain relatively clean but your heart and home are empty of visiting love one. Why not put The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour on in the background and watch these various Hanukkah songs and videos and let us join you. We will never complain that the brisket is too dry!
Let's see what's on the ole turntable for Hanukkah this evening -
The Chanukah Song Part 3 Adam Sandler -
Candlelight 2020 The Maccabeats -
Kurstin x Grohl: The Hanukkah Sessions: Night One -
(We appear to have been late to this party.)
Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters producer Greg Kurstin are foregoing their annual Christmas song tradition and instead, Grohl says, "decided to celebrate Hanukkah by recording eight songs by eight famous Jewish artists and releasing one song each night of Hanukkah."
Spinning (Like a Dreidel) Jacob Wake Up! -
Weinerville Chanukah Special -
Bet you kids have never seen this one
Heck of a Hanukkah Even Stevens -
The Hanukkah Story The Nanny -
Remember to eat some steamed vegetables or a bran muffin.
People often remark that I'm pretty lucky. Luck is only important in so far as getting the chance to sell yourself at the right moment. After that, you've got to have talent and know how to use it.
Welcome to our Tenth Annual tribute to Ole Blue Eyes - Acme's tip of the hat to The Chairman of the Board.
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! -
This was written by the lyricist Sammy Cahn and the Broadway songwriter Jule Styne in 1945. Although this song is associated with Christmas, there is no mention of the holiday in the lyrics. It's about making the most of a snowy day by spending it with a loved one by the fire.
Christmas Memories -
Christmas Memories is a fairly obscure holiday song written by Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman, and Don Costa in 1975.
Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town -
This was written in 1932 by Haven Gillespie and J. Fred Coots. They had trouble convincing anyone to produce it because it was seen as a kids' song, which would have been very hard to sell. The big break came when Eddie Cantor sang it on his radio show in 1934, and the song became an instant hit. Coots was a writer for Cantor's show and pushed for the host to perform it. Cantor was going to pass on the song but was convinced by his wife, Ida, to give it a try.
Have Yourselves A Merry Little Christmas -
Songwriters Hugh Martin and Ralph Blaine wrote the classic song Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas for Judy Garland's 1944 movie, Meet Me in St. Louis, along with dozens of other songs for MGM and Broadway musicals.
Acme would like to bring you this 1957 Christmas episode of The Frank Sinatra Show - Happy Holidays with Bing and Frank
The special was filmed in color, although ABC originally broadcast it in black and white. The special was directed by Frank Sinatra himself. He and Bing Crosby team up for several musical numbers celebrating the holiday season. Because Bing Crosby liked to pre-record his music in the morning and lip synch on film and Frank Sinatra preferred to record live in the evening, the musical "duets" were recorded ten hours apart with only soft piano accompaniment. Nelson Riddle overrode the piano with the orchestra during editing.
Throughout my career, if I have done anything, I have paid attention to every note and every word I sing - if I respect the song. If I cannot project this to a listener, I fail.
Demand Euphoria!
