From the photos, the Arcade1Up edition looks to be a pretty spot-on clone of the original, albeit with a mysterious trackball in the middle that no one seems to know the purpose of. The prevailing theory is that Simpsons Bowling is being included as a second game — the only other time the characters were arcade stars.

While it might be assumed that the newer versions were chosen simply because they were more recent, the realities of music rights and licenses could prove otherwise. Quite often it is actually less costly to re-create a hit song with the original artists than to use the original recording. This is often why the original version of a well-known hit is substituted for a remake. The vintage version may not be available (or affordable) in its most familiar form. The newer Chipmunk recordings were very likely much more accessible under contracts more recently negotiated with Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. and Janice Karman, where the Liberty contracts were made under different circumstances and could have cost much more.

This isn’t the only set of ads that this show has done, such as the Super Bowl commercial for Pringles where Morty was a robot forced to get the others to promote Pringles and Rick realized that their entire home was basically an ad for Pringles. Clearly this show doesn’t mind doing that kind of thing if they can make it funny enough.

We’ll be posting some of the progress on the Comi-Colors set next week. As Flip the Frog and Aesop’s Fables Volume 1 get finished, more time is going into getting the Comi-Colors scanned – most from the black and white separation negs. Now that things are opening up a little more, getting this material scanned is getting easier, happily.

After the Ball (11/8/29) – No real plot. Gags about the writinng of the song, with a dog that looks a great deal like Fitz. “Auld Lang Syne” also makes an appearance in the score, as the film centers somewhat around nostalgia. The title tune goes back to 1892. A recording exists from shortly therefter by George J. Gaskin (boy tenor) – company is unknown as an announcement does not appear on accessible copies of the recording. In 1925 it was recorded electrically by the International Novelty Orchestra, with vocal by Henry Burr, for Victor. Ian Whitcomb would revive it on LP among other nostalgic fare in the 1970’s. The song is often thought of as Tin Pan Alley’s first hit – the first tune to sell over a million copies on sheet music. Here’s the composer himself, Charles K. Harris, singing the song in 1930:backpack

Several additional songs appear in the score of the cartoon, including “By the Beautiful Sea” (a 1914 song, revived in 1948 by Spike Jones for Victor), “The Cat” (a song penned by Isham Jones, recorded by him for Brunswick, and by the California Ramblers on Edison), “The Whisper Song (When the Pussy Willows Whispers to the Catnip)”, recorded by Art Landry on Victor, and a vocal version by the California Humming Birds on Victor), and “I Miss My Swiss”, most notably performed by the Happiness Boys on Victor and Columbia, with dance versions by Paul Whiteman on Victor, Carl Fenton on Brunswick, Ted Lewis on Columbia, the California Ramblers on the dime-store labels, and the Southern Serenaders (a Sam Lanin group including several Fletcher Henderson musicians including Louis Armstrong) on Harmony.
