BOO: Buck-buckaw!
NARRATOR: {Hail to the Chief} Got to meet the President.
GUY(?): Sir, I think he's a chicken.

YAKKO: Whaddya doing, Wakko?
WAKKO: I'm writing a letter to Santa, telling him what I want for
Christmas!
YAKKO: Wait a minute, hold the phone! That's not how you spell 'Santa'!
WAKKO: It isn't?
YAKKO: No, you've got it all wrong!
WAKKO: Well, how do you spell it, then?
{The First Noel}
YAKKO: To spell Santa's name is easy to do,
You write S - A - N - T and another A too.
But no L, no L, Santa's name has no L;
And he won't be too pleased if you don't learn to spell.
WAKKO: Jack and Jill went up a hill to fetch water from the well.
But when neither one could find it, Jill started to yell:
DOT: "No well, no well! Can't believe there's no well!
We walked all the way here, and I'm mad, can't you tell!"
YAKKO: Captain Ahab took his crew, his harpoon, and set sail.
And he called out to ships,
AHAB: "Have you seen the white whale?"
SAILORS: "No whale, no whale, no we ain't seen no whale!
Saw a couple of dolphins, and a big yellowtail!"
Y,W,& D: If you've listened to this tune, then you probably can tell
That you've heard it before, it's a song you know well.
Know well, know well, it's a song you know well!
And we've ruined it completely, so we all say, "Oh, well!"
Oh, well, oh, well, we'll just say fare thee well;
Merry Christmas to you, and a Joyous Noel!

Visit your optometrist regularly. And for

dentist at least every six months. If not,
you might get cavities or gingivitis or some
nasty gum disease. As for me, I've got a
toothache right now that's killing me, so
don't make the mistake I did. See a
dentist! (And try using some mouth wash
now & then, okay[sic]?) And remember to brush
after every meal, and floss once a day.
This has been ANIMANIACS episode #84.
Upcoming are episodes #85, #86, #87, #88,

Another good show you can look forward to
is show #91! If you'd like even more

For your edification, here's the AMLF entry, which needs help with one line:
Belle : Charming places
With quaint singing faces
(bump!)
Dot : Singing tunes that you've heard before!
Every one a bigger bore
Townsfolk : People like you and me
Yakko : All singing way off key
Dot : Look at me
I'm in a musical
Look at me
I ?????
Blacksmith: She says she's singing; how can you tell?
Appleman : It's like a funny smell
Dot : You're just jealous 'cause I sing so well!
La la la la la la la.
Washwoman : The lyrics couldn't get much worse
Y+W : Helloooo, nurse!
Blacksmith: This endless song makes me want to curse -- OW!
Yakko : Now you move to the next verse!
Dot : Have some pie
Wakko : I'll try it
Mother : Why oh why
Can't she just be quiet?
Dot : La la la la la la la la--
Baby : Wah!
Hunter : She's causing such a din
YW+Dog : Arooooo!
Hunter : I can't tell what key she's in
AllFolks : But she really is a funny girl
A cutie, but a funny girl
She really sings a lot
Dot : La laaaa--
AllFolks : That's Dot!

You sure that's not "and...fade to black!"?
Since we're on this episode, might as well air what popped into my head
yesterday.
It almost seemed out of place when Dot sounded like Dot for a brief
moment in CatB. Most of the time these days, Dot is just Babs. Close
your eyes and listen to her say "Why don't you try it sometime?" That's
Babs. But then for a brief moment, she became Dot again: "Maybe whoever
lives here can tell us where we are!" Oddly, the voice used for "Ooh,
I love a man who plays hard to get" was a voice I'd never heard Dot use
in a cartoon, but have heard Tress use when speaking as Dot many times --
from speaking in a sultry voice to fanboys to the bumper "You see, I had
to say Steven's name 'cause he signs my checks -- yeah!" It was funny to
see Dot speaking in that voice, after thinking of it for so long as just
a Dot-like voice done by Tress MacNeille.
Notice that the writers of "Boo Happens" were two storyboard artists --
an actual artist-created cartoon, as the Spumco snobs say is what makes
their stuff so good and all WBA shows so lame.

The other artist-created cartoon on A was "Cat on a Hot Steel
Beam," which WAS lame. This one, on the other hand, was very funny, but
if it hadn't been for the writing credit there would have been nothing
to indicate that it was created at the storyboard--it was standard
Animaniacs in every way, and quite a bit less "visual" than, say, "The
Good, the Boo and the Ugly." I'm getting really sick of the whole
storyboard-versus-keyboard argument--if these people don't like
Animaniacs, that's fine, but their arguments about "visual orientation"
or whatever reminds me of those people who used to say that talkies
weren't true cinema. The ONLY question that matters is, is it funny?
Is it good? Sure, Animaniacs is talk-heavy, but the question is, is the
talk GOOD talk? I think it is. Other people think it isn't. That's
the only real argument that matters: quality, not how quality ought to
be achieved.

Yes, well, it's quite clear now! But I couldn't get anything out of
that bit at first. I'll work on that some more and see if I can get
the rest of it. (At least it's not as bad as "Fair Game", which I am
also trying to transcribe, and which leaves my hair increasingly looking
like Scratchansniff's.)

I think she just says, "I sing a musical" but I'm not sure.
I figure the "singing" has to be right, because the next line goes,
"She says she's singing..."

I'm not sure at all. In fact, I was meaning to ask you, because you
usually hear better than I do, but I kept forgetting to. Hmmm. But
I can't quite hear "fade to black" either. "Fade" works, but I can't
for the life of me hear that middle syllable. On the other hand, I
can't hear an "l" for "playback" either. It sounds more like "fayback"
or "rayback". And now that I think about it, they don't actually
fade to black, but perhaps that's being too picky. Maybe just "fade
back"?
Oh, wait, I just listened to it again with "fade" in my head, and I
got it -- he says, "And fade lights"!! YeS!

Yeah. That's even what I was going to put at first, but then I couldn't
remember how "Someone's in the Kitchen with Dinah" went, so I didn't put
that. They played it again in this week's show. I really should get
a copy of the whole thing with the words.
>"Goodnight, Ladies" is a different tune altogether.
Yes, but they share some of the same notes. (Uh, egad, brilliant, Plato!)
That is, the bit they played on the show could have been "Goodnight, Ladies"
if the meter were different.

I don't have any way to post the music (not that I have it), but here
are the words (at least the way I remember my mom singing them):
I've been working on the railroad, all the live long day
I've been working on the railroad just to pass the time away
Can't you hear the whistle blowing, rise up so early in the morn',
Can't you hear the captain shouting, "Dinah, blow your horn!"
Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow your horn,
Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow your horn.
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah,
Someone's in the kitchen, I know,
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah,
Strummin' on the ole banjo, and singin'
Fee, fi, fiddley ei oh,
Fee fi fiddley ei oh,
Fee, fi, fiddley ei oh,
Strummin' on the ole banjo.

It can go on the list with "Hend" and "Eggs at a buffet," Hein?

I guess he meant eggs are real tricky to eat one handed standing up...
which doesn't make sense when you consider Wakko's normal method of
ingestion.
Sarah, youthful muse of compulsive thinking, who always opens the egg at
the SHARP end.

Avaunt, scoundrel! I, too, love this song with all the force of
the stern manly heart that beats in my equally stern and definitely
manly bosom! You, marry this song? Only I am a fit mate for this
ballad of all things oosical! Alas, since we cannot both wed the same
song parody, I am forced to challenge you to a duel. We shall stand
back to back, and then take ten paces forward--then another ten paces--
then ten more--then a hundred--then run like hell until I'm in Greenland
and you're in Dubuque. And THEN we shall see which really really manly

So Lord Jaime! It appears we meet again for the first time. How strange
that it should be over love that we finally come to blows. How strange
that the entire 'you pillaging my castle and me plundering your village'
incident should leave us apathetic towards each other but this song
makes us willing to lay down out lives. So be it! I accept your
challenge. I too am willing to sacrifice all I have in the name of that
lyrical bounty of fun. Since you have issued the challenge it is only
fair that I choose the battle ground and weapons.
The place, here, in front of all your admirerers, so they can see
once and for all how soundly I will thrash you.
The weapon? Words! For as the bard once wrote when he was hopped
up on vintage wine "They are mighter than the swords....at least dull
rusty swords.".
As for rules, there are none. We will continue until only one of
us is left typing...or we are in everyone's killfiles. You, my less

Dost I cower, thou asketh? Dost I cower? Prithee I beg of you good sir,
make me laugh not. You have knighted my person with the title of weenie
and you expect me to cower? It would be a moist evening on Saint Hulmes
Day before your basest of insults could drive me to cowering. If I but
had you in my grasp at this moment I could teach you the full meaning of
that word which you brandy about as if it were an unlimited PEZ
dispenser. The teacher would be my iron glove and your face would be its
unwilling student.
Thou hast all the taunting skills of a tarpaulin who has lost all
of its pegs and lies limp on the ground, quite untaunt I assure you.
While mine own eyes have been a witness to the skill at which
your stone honed tongue has used verbal wit to bring peals of laughter to
the unwashed masses, I fear that time has dulled its sharp edge and it
lies like a butter knife in your mouth. You will find it of little use
against me. I am quite grissley, milord.

You have a "stern", "manly bosom"??? That is FAR more information than I ever

Just for the record it is Jamie that has the stern manly bosom. I will
not go on record as to what the nature of my bosom is. If you would like
to know please fell free to e-mail me through a secured channel.

You have a Yakko doll on your table? EYUCK!!!!! (Michael quickly grabs

PLEASE--even if someone DOES e-mail you, for the sake of mankind, DO NOT tell
them about your bosom.

Of course I won't. Why would I? You say the silliest things.
Unless they ask.
Or use a noun in a sentence.

Grrrrr... just because Yakko is my favorite doesn't mean I don't like Dot and
Wakko, too. Besides, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot TOGETHER carry the show, not just
one (and definately not Wakko <thpbt!>.)

Oh yeah? Then explain why Speilberg doubled Wakko's salary when he
threaten to quit and when Yakko and Dot tried the same tactices Mr.
Speilberg simply shrugged and said "Whatever". And when Dot posed nude
for Playdough he tried to fire her....but I'm getting ahead of myself.
