There’s something in your eyes, Makes me wanna lose myself, Makes me wanna lose myself, In your arms. There’s something in your voice, Makes my heart beat fast, Hope this feeling lasts, For the rest of my life. If you knew how lonely my life has been, And how low I’ve felt for so long. If you knew I’ve wanted someone to come along, And change my life the way you’ve done.

—Damian McGinty, Celtic Thunder, covers “Feels Like Home” (written by Randy Newman)

Randy Newman is 80 today!

I've had a crush on him and his voice for ages. Does he make your list?

I could work with him.

Our time has come we're gonna Walk in the sun, oh I've packed my hopes, We're ready to roll, We're on our way With a little love we know Nothing can stop us, so Tell everyone Turn the spotlight on Now our time has come

Can you feel the power, now The day is ours For you and I There comes a time To hold our heads high Make a little history Each time we dare to dream Tell everyone Turn the spotlight on Now our time has come

[Our Time Has Come | Randy Newman]

I hate the radio in Gainesville. The vast majority of stations are either bro country, conservative talk radio, or All Taylor Swift All The Time™, so I usually end up driving in silence. Every now and then the planets allign at certain stoplights and I can pick up a more conventional station from Jacksonville, so I scan through the airwaves when I get bored in the hopes of stumbling upon something decent. Today I happened upon a station playing orchestral music, fun, energetic, bouncy, kinda jazzy, sounded like a 1920s big band or something. Then I thought no, this isn't 1920s music, this sounds like a movie score from the 1990s or 2000s that's trying to sound like 1920s music.

It sounds like Disney music.

And just then it transitioned into the Bug's Life theme song. "Just a bug, little bug, hardly there." No lyrics, of course, just the orchestral version, but holy shit I couldn't believe I recognized that. It wasn't just Bug's Life, it was a whole mashup of Randy Newman scores. It wasn't half bad so I left it on until I got to Target to get some groceries, and when I got back to my car about 20 minutes later they were still playing Newman music, but not just Randy, it was A WHOLE FAMILY OF NEWMANS! His uncle, his cousins, an entire show dedicated to the Newman composer dynasty since Alfred Newman on Broadway in 1919!

Randy's cousin Thomas did a bunch of famous scores of which the host named The Shawshank Redemption and WALL-E, and then they played his score for a movie I'd never heard of called Scent of a Woman, and yeah, it sounded exactly like Shawshank and WALL-E, very distinctive, lots of strings and metallic percussion, flighty woodwinds, very whimsical. Parts of it reminded me of Finding Nemo, and I googled it when I got home and sure enough he did that one too!

And then I turned a corner into my apartment complex, and it went to static. Easy come, easy go...

DuckTales Character Songs! (Part 2)

Alright, now we’re cooking here! This time around, I’m going to be focusing on important recurring characters that debuted in Season 1.

Again, giving some brainstorming credit on this to @glowyjellyfish, plus, also, a little bit to @shychick-52, since one of these is in her pinned list.

Flintheart Glomgold

Rasputin by Boney M.

Ah, Rasputin. The Russian mystic who wouldn’t die. And like Rasputin, Glomgold is a very fiery, polarizing character who will say and do anything to get to the top, even if he has to resort to power beyond his normal means (not unlike The 87 Cent Solution!)

Bradford Buzzard

Takin’ Care of Business by Bachman-Turner Overdrive

He didn’t really have a bigger role until Season 3, but he still counts for here! Anyway, Bradford is very serious, by-the-book, and business-oriented, so this song works perfectly for him.

Ma Beagle and the Beagle Boys

Bad Boys by Inner Circle from Cops

Pretty self-explanatory here. Moving on.

Gyro Gearloose

The Scientist by Coldplay

Yes, the title is obvious. But the lyrics can be seen as speaking more to his guilt over his past actions (“Nobody said it was easy, it’s such a shame for us to part,” “I was just guessing at numbers and figures, pulling the puzzles apart,” etc.), such as what happened at Tokyolk and with the Spear of Selene.

Lena

Demons by Imagine Dragons

All throughout Season 1 (and even in later episodes), Lena had personal demons regarding Magica that she couldn’t easily shake. Like the lyrics said, she wanted to hide the truth from Webby and everyone else, but there was nowhere to hide. And she always kept up walls that prevented her from getting too close to people (“Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside.”) And even after she broke from Magica’s control, she was worried that she could still turn out bad, but with the help of others, especially Webby and Violet, she was able to overcome those demons in her mind.

Gladstone Gander

Life Has Been Good to Me by Randy Newman

Gladstone is a naturally lucky character. Whatever happens in the game of life, the dice roll in his favor. I guess other than the events leading up to and within The House of the Lucky Gander!, life is good to him.

Mark Beaks

How Bad Can I Be? by Ed Helms from The Lorax

Life is all about survival of the fittest at times. You gotta do what it takes to survive, even if it means screwing others over. That mindset is 100% Beaks to me. The last half of the song, especially, where the Once-ler is bragging about his business and building an economy, absolutely screams Beaks to me.

Zeus, Storkules, and Selene

Zeus: The Gospel Truth by Lillias White, LaChanze, Roz Ryan, Cheryl Freeman, and Vaneese Thomas from Hercules

Storkules: The Harder They Come by Jimmy Cliff

Selene: Song About the Moon by Paul Simon

I feel it would only be appropriate if I put the three deities of Ithaquack together. First off, I kinda had to throw a Hercules song in there somewhere, and this one brilliantly tells the story of how Zeus came to power. On the second note, Storkules is absolutely a pillar of strength, and he’s very determined, too. Just like the real-life myth and the movie, he will take on any and all opponents, no matter how big or daunting they may be. Finally, we have Selene, the goddess of the moon. The moon is very powerful, graceful, and beautiful, just as she is. The song here explains how in order to write a song about the moon, you need to capture its features, its essence. And in order to write a song about the heart or a face, tie it back to writing about the moon. It just shows how influential the moon can be, just as Selene is in making decisions as a goddess.
