Plus, the Duckman creators were good about using music--background and
otherwise--very effectively. I absolutely hate
that tune they use to signify when Duckman's feeling genuinely sad or
regretfull, but it still works to freeze your smile
every damned time. I also think there was awesome counter-point intended
in the episode (I'm crappy with the names)
featuring the famous (I guess; I'd never heard of him) Jim Bailey, female
impersonator. The rousing "Clang-clang-clang
went the trolly" cohabitates with of the near-death Cornfed's mental
longing, "Kill Duckman. Kill Duckman...", and the
morphed Uranus and Flurry monsters.
But for my money, the re-jiggered lyrics of Joe Walsh's "Life's Been
Good To Me So Far" to the Moe Dworkin theme is
the all-time winner (Love! Anger! Kvetching!). I mean, who can beat "My
name is Moe and I was an old man/It took me hours
to go to the can"? The funeral scene also gets a standing-O for Cornfed
being decked out in a schreimel and payess.
