Doughty said Soul Coughing's first album also features a sample by Carl Stalling, a composer who used Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" in old Warner Bros. "Rolling" and "Circles" came from the group's "El Oso" album, a project featuring artwork from cartoonist Jim Woodring's comic "Frank" about a cat's psychedelic journey. "You kind of had to get other syncopation in there to fit all the wording for it to make sense and speak it clearly." "The wording was so packed in and the beat was so laid out, you could never get through it just trying to be on the one, and the two," Mack, who also rapped the track, told Insider. The two were at audio post-production facility Broadway Sound, an extension of "Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video, when Patrick asked the pair to add their musical flair to it. It's a product of Sandblast Productions co-owner and producer Michael Ungar and audio mixer Diriki Mack. The accompanying video is a mix of random clips from "The Magilla Gorilla Show," a show about a talking ape that spent his days in a pet shop and ran from 1963 to 1967, overlaid with colorful blocks to evoke a minimal, '50s feeling. Patrick also wrote this jazzy, rap song inspired by the popular cartoon ape Magilla Gorilla. Some of puns include references totree disease Dutch elm disease, swelling up in the rain and former Vice President Al Gore's wife Tipper Gore, a name to rhyme with "chipper." The producer of 'Gorilla 4 Sale' called the rap song 'the best porn track ever.' Patrick said the ska-themed JabberJaw video did so well it paved the way for more musical shorts. That idea started the Cartoon Network Shorties series, featuring modern visual renditions of characters like Hanna-Barbera's happy alligator Wally Gator and JabberJaw, the talking shark. "We had so much commercial time available because we didn't have big advertisers at that point."īy the late '90s, Patrick said the objective was to make old cartoon characters have a contemporary feel. It was just about trying to get onto as many different cable systems as possible," Patrick told Insider.
"The ratings didn't matter as much in those early days. The department helped make blocks like "Cartoon Cartoon Fridays" and "The Big Game." He tasked Steve Patrick and his creative services department to create content to creatively fill time between the network's popular shows. Groovies was a product of Michael Ouweleen, then-creative director at a fairly new Cartoon Network and now-president of Adult Swim. The series started in the early days of Cartoon Network when they failed to secure advertisers In the decades since, as box TV watchers grew into social media users, YouTube videos from the Cartoon Network Groovies series have seen millions of views with nostalgia-filled comments.
