Three great songs about cats
Saturday, July 30th, 2011Is weird that several of a real actual adult’s favourite songs are internet ditties about cats? (Er, I’m talking about some other guy, not about me.)

The difference between British and American cartoons
Saturday, May 8th, 2010… is exemplified by the opening theme songs of the respective British and American adaptations of the children’s book series What-a-Mess, about a short and scruffy Afghan hound.
The British theme song is kind stylish and catchy (sadly you must visit YouTube to watch the clip, on account of some jerk disabling the embed function. HATE).
The American theme song does not compare:
It rings of “generic wackiness” rather than “delightful quirkiness”, which is pretty typical of lots of American cartoons. (Not that all American children’s animation of inferior quality – I have very fond memories of some US cartoons, while there was plenty of off-putting stuff that came out of the UK.)
