All The Cats Join In

Does anyone remember when this used to play on The Disney Channel? It was back when The Disney Channel was fun, before it was taken over by a bunch of lame shows geared at tween girls. I loved "All The Cats Join In." I heart Benny Goodman and Gene Krupa. I used to say all the time that I was born in the wrong time period, until I started having health problems. If I could go back in time and visit just one concert, it would be a no brainer for me - Benny Goodman at Carnegie Hall, 1938. That concert made big band music legitimate, and it changed music forever.



Anyway, I was working out this morning, and I was tired, and the thought suddenly came into my head - I need a giant animated magic pencil to erase a few inches off my butt and thighs like the one in "All The Cats Join In." It sure worked for that girl. If only.

I love it...I totally remember this cartoon. I love it in all its fun loving, un-pc'in', hoppy glory! I also remember when Disney channel used to shut off at 10:30pm. I'm with you, could have been really cool if I had grown up in a different era...my own era? not so cool.

Good stuff. I forgot about the magic pencil. I wonder if it works on other body parts, too? Like the mouth of a child throwing a tantrum? I needed that pencil lasdt night....

I love the music, and the magic pencil looks useful, too.
These days, however, they use Photoshop. Have you seen this? http://boingboing.net/2009/09/29/ralph-lauren-opens-n.html
