Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Fleischer Christmas cartoon, the 1936 Somewhere in Dreamland, directed by Dave Fleischer.
This was Fleischer Studios' first film in three-strip Technicolor. The title of the short was taken from a popular song of the era. It was sung during the film as well.
Happy Holidays! I'm sure you are just starting to run around doing your holiday shopping. So why not sit back and relax (quick, find the most comfortable seat on the sofa,) get a snack (perhaps, some popcorn,) and a beverage before our special starts, here's our final guest programmer with her favorite Christmas jingles (once again, I had to gently press her for two days to get her to give me this list.)
Remember, it's the holidays (there are no bad choices, especially if the guest programmer lives in my house. There also seems to be some duplication between some of the guest programmers)
Santa, Can't You Hear Me Kelly Clarkson & Ariana Grande -
This is the second time Ariana Grande has sung of feeling let down by Saint Nick. Her 2014 single Santa Tell Me finds her imploring him to pull through this Christmas after previously delivering her a boy who'd gone by New Year's Day.
You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch Tyler The Creator -
This was written and recorded for the classic 1966 Dr. Seuss TV Holiday Special How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Seuss wrote the lyrics and Albert Hague wrote the music.
A Nonsense Christmas Sabrina Carpenter -
The original song Nonsense was first released as a part of the album, emails i can't send, in July of 2022 and later released as a Christmas remix titled A Nonsense Christmas in December of that year. It was written by Sabrina Carpenter, Julian Bunetta and Steph Jones.
I’m Gettin Nuttin for Christmas Barry Gordon -
Barry was a child actor in the '50s and '60s. He performed in a lot of TV and stage roles, including the Broadway production and 1965 movie A Thousand Clowns.
The Chipmunk Song Glee -
This was written and produced by Ross Bagdasarian (a.k.a. David Seville). The inspiration came to him from his youngest son, Adam, who had a habit of asking in September if it was Christmas yet. He figured if his son was already asking about the holiday so early, other kids probably were too.
Christmas will be shortly here. 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! We're sure you're busy with all of your holiday plans. Take a break - why not put The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour on in the background and let watch something different today - The television version of the 2000 revival of the 1939 Broadway hit, The Man Who Came To Dinner, starring Nathan Lane, Jean Smart, Harriet Sansom Harris, and Lewis J. Stadlen. The play introduces us to Monty Woolley, a celebrated author and radio celebrity, on a lecture tour in Ohio, where he slips on the ice and is confined to the home of a bourgeois couple. He proceeds to plunge the household into chaos, ruling the place like a czar and meddling in everyone’s love life. As they say in the ads ... hilarity ensues. So please join us here at The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour and sit back, get comfortable and watch The Man Who Came To Dinner -
This production restored some lines that had been censored or omitted from the 1941 film, among them Sheridan Whiteside's opening line "I may vomit". It also restored the line "you have the touch of a sex-starved cobra", which had been changed in the old film to "you have the touch of a love-starved cobra".
Before you go - Once again, I'm going to play a perennial favorite bonus track (in our house, anyway) - the inspired mash-up of Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You and My Chemical Romance's Welcome To The Black Parade.
This is so perfectly matched that it seems it was written this way. I didn't think this one would work but give it a listen
We'll end this session with the Mariah Carey/ Marilyn Manson mashup (by the brilliant Bill McClintlock.)
Sweet Dreams.
Demand Euphoria!
