The Electric Company - Rare Raposo-O-Rama

[d72jjpilc]

Weren't there also two other similar segments to this - one with 'Cincinnati' (introduced one syllable at a time) , and one with 'poblem' changing to 'problem'? I vaguely remember those two. Thanks in advance.

Amazing as always, and thanks for posting this wonderful work.

Greatest pop composer ever.

[JGCooney]

Did Joe compose the Barley Farmers' Bar?

[raposofan]

Gosh, Joan, one would think YOU would know :)

Yep he did.

[JGCooney]

You tube won't let me use my real name as a username (Alan) so I had to borrow JG's monicer. Why won't you tube allow my real name?

[raposofan]

I don't know! That's really odd. What's wrong with the name "Alan"? Nothing.

Thank you for sharing more great and rare Electric Company animated skits. Yes it's great when you combine Joe's talented songwriting with animation. :)

[raposofan]

I just love sharing these items with you guys as I find them. We all know how it feels missing seeing this stuff and then finally seeing it again. Glad to make you guys happy :*)

Figure some of you may remember one short I just can't seem to find anything on;

it taught the sound sh, gold background, animated graphic, almost silhouette, Indians in a canoe fishing.

Lyric; 'Shall I shoot the fish she asked, I shuddered and I shook my head, I answered who'd wish to shoot a fish, try a fishing hook instead. Splash!' Anybody?

[raposofan]

Wow, just saw this - yes: that short was animated by Gerald McDermott, and he and I are both looking for it! Do you have a copy of it...?

[ISNorden]

Wow. Just...wow. Your collection of CTW originals is awe-inspiring!

(By the way, I don't know what a needledrop is; could you please explain?)

[raposofan]

It's the music you hear under a piece of footage.  Musicians and music library companies use the word needledrop to measure how much music was used in a spot, and charge for it. A typical needledrop is 15 seconds. It comes from "needle dropped on vinyl record".

[ISNorden]

I figured it had to do with vinyl recordings, but needed to know more. Thanks!

[raposofan]

(She'll be producing less than a year from now. Another one joins the fold.) :)

[heyheyheydude]

I remember the cub/cube one. and the power and the "glory" forever and ever. Amen. got anymore scanimates?

[70s80s]

Wasn't Scanimate stuff also used on some early-MTV videos? Cool stuff, no? ;)
