Song Notes: Raymond Scott had some of the best song titles ever. He also had some of the best songs and best musical instrument inventions, too, but that's neither here nor there. There's actually a couple of his songs on here by different acts, just because his titles are great, his music is great and it's instantly recognizable, since Carl Stalling borrowed a lot of it (though don't get me wrong -- Carl Stalling was an amazing composer in his own right) for the Warner Bros. cartoons. You'll probably instantly recognize this one -- as you would Powerhouse as well. There's a few of his bits that, the first time I heard them, absolutely floored me, as I didn't realize they were written by him. It's real neat. As for the Reckless Penguins, they were a one-off Raymond Scott Tribute band organized by Irwin Chusid. More info is available on them from their 365 Days Project writeup from February 3rd. - Rev.
