Raymond Scott POWERHOUSE in LOONEY TUNES

[Arabloverh65]

What is the cartoon from 49s to 56s?

Nice Rube Goldberg at 1:24

Exactly 75 years ago today, Raymond Scott recorded his iconic hit tune, "Powerhouse." On the same date, following 8 months of rehearsals with his Quintette at CBS, he also recorded "Twilight In Turkey," "Minuet In Jazz," and "The Toy Trumpet" — not bad for a day's work. He didn't realize it at the time, but these compositions would jump-start his stellar career, and accidentally inspire cartoon antics for future generations.

Rush was definitely paying tribute to him - in their defense they did change the riff slightly. Still nice that they recognized him with a royalty consideration.

[RaymondScottArchives]

@tacomadc Yeah, pretty cool that they paid even tho they weren't forced to.

[Sybsop]

One of the most recognizable tunes spanning at least two or three generations I think

[RaymondScottArchives]

@Sybsop Yep, you're right — the tune is 75 years old now.

[whodatzz]

85 people get good music and classic toons, one person pressed the wrong button by accident...

At first, I was like "what the heck is this," but then I realized.

And was like OH, COOL!

[MiniaturesTerrain]

la villa strangiato haha

[RaymondScottArchives]

@MiniaturesTerrain By the time Raymond Scott's publisher notified RUSH, the statute of limitations had expired. But Rush's management, out of deference to Mr. and Mrs. Scott (Raymond was still alive at that point), offered a one-time "penance" payment, feeling it was the ethical thing to do. All involved were happy with the resolution, and Rush has no further financial obligations. Under the settlement, they were not required to accord RS partial songwriting credit on the "La Villa Strangiato."

this is important...there are small variations here same song, different feelings just so important in teaching self acknowledgement, trusting one's self. really a great way to learn about personal respondesabilies and and craftmanship...I'm drunk give me some slack.

[worldowarguru]

[guimamaximiano]

Brilliant!

[RaymondScottArchives]

@guimamaximiano Cool, glad you like it.

[BenPictures1]

Classic! Back when cartoons were worth something!

[RaymondScottArchives]

@BenPictures1 Yep, they were great.

[morricone1900]

[RaymondScottArchives]

@morricone1900 You're welcome, thanks.

[masterx123]

[quailhollow451]

did you know raymond scott sold all his music to WB and spent it all on making a Prototype synthizer

[RaymondScottArchives]

@quailhollow451 Haha, not exactly.....

[quailhollow451]

@RaymondScottArchives no its true im a american hystory major!

[RaymondScottArchives]

@quailhollow451 "american hystory"?? HAHAHA!!!! Do you know who I am? (1:) Raymond Scott did not sell "all his music to WB." And (2:) he did not spend "it all on making a Prototype synthesizer." But I understand why you'd say this — it's cute and funny. But not accurate.

[dimmy]

Strange. Whenever I hear the tune, I always think cartoon. Had no idea why until now. Had no idea that it was so widely used. :-) Thanks for the post!

[Trashcansam123]

@dimmy Yeah, whenever I head it I always thought "Factory" this explains it.

[aloisbembel]

I missed the bowling-pin-production-scene of the Simpsons.

[HHog]

Which cartoon is the scene at 0:49 from (with the cat frantically pointing to its address)?

[Milesco]

Excellent! (Or for the hens on the conveyor belt, "eggs-ellent!")

[fromthesidelines]

Carl Stalling LOVED using Raymond Scott's compositions (and they happened to be published by one of Warner Bros. music publishing divisions), often scoring "Powerhouse" into every frantic "assembly", "chase" or "chaotic" scene where appropriate.

[RaymondScottArchives]

@fromthesidelines Yep, "Powerhouse," and about a dozen other Raymond Scott melodies.

[Mumblix]

Absolutely freaking awesome!

[waziammm]

Thank you so much!

[RaymondScottArchives]

@waziammm You're welcome, thanks.

[RaymondScottArchives]

@waziammm You're welcome!

[waziammm]

Fantastic video!! Really enjoyed it. Is there any chance some one can list the episodes this footage is from, particularly the one with the hens?

[GCarty80]

@waziammm

The one with the hens was "Swooner Crooner".

[RaymondTVinyl]

This is how I learned about Raymond Scott. The fabulous Warner Bros cartoons! Wonderful montage.

[RaymondScottArchives]

@RaymondTVinyl Cool, glad you like it.
