Answer 1

Remember it too, better with the short film in the studio as you mention, loved the sound of the foot steps as they keep running between the two rooms. Memories of my childhood.lol

Answer 2

Stan Freberg did do a spoof of "The Banana Boat Song" (Day-O) for his comedy album with Peter Leeds and Billy May's Music.

Freberg was the singer and Leeds was the bongo player who couldn't stand the loud singing.

No mouse and no rabbit, but Stan did come through the window when he got locked out.

The Banana Boat Song is a traditional Trinidadian Calypso folk song, whose best-known version was sung by Harry Belafonte and is the most well-known calypso. It is a song from the point of view of dock workers working the night shift loading bananas onto ships. Daylight has come, the shift is over and they want their work to be counted up so that they can go home (this is the meaning of the lyric "Come, Mr. Tally Man, tally me banana/ Daylight come and we wanna go home.")
The song was used in the dinner scene in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice

There have been a number of parodies of this iconic song over the years:

"Banana Boat (Day-O)" by Stan Freberg, produced in the 1950s, features ongoing disagreement between an enthusiastic lead singer and a bongo-playing beatnik who "doesn't dig loud noises".
German band Trio (band) performed a parody where "Bommerlunder" (a german schnapps) substituted the words "daylight come" in the 1980s. In one rare coincidence, Trio and Harry Belafonte appeared in the same TV show with the latter watching in disbelief Trio's act.
The Flash animation "Osama Bin Laden Has Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide", produced shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, features a parody version of the song apparently performed by Colin Powell (with George W. Bush on bongos). The main refrain is "Come Mr. Taliban, turn over bin Laden! (Payback come then we gonna go home)" [3]
Parodied as "Gay-O" in The Simpsons episode about gay marriage entitled There's Something About Marrying, season 16.

Stan Freberg began as a voice actor in a number of old-time radio shows and in animation. He won his first part by taking the advice of his uncle, a stage magician, who advised him to take a bus into Los Angeles and have the driver let him off "in central Los Angeles," whereupon Freberg was to walk into the first building he saw and ask for an audition. He did this and immediately found work, as he described in his autobiography, It Only Hurts When I Laugh

At the age of 21, he was cast as the voice of Junyer Bear in Chuck Jones' 1948 Looney Tunes cartoon What's Brewin', Bruin?, featuring Jones' version of The Three Bears. He often found himself paired off with Mel Blanc while at Warner Brothers, where the two men performed such pairs as the Goofy Gophers, Hubie and Bertie, and Spike the Bulldog and Chester the Terrier.[citation needed] However, his first credit as a voice actor in a Looney Tunes cartoon was in Three Little Bops (1957). Freberg also worked for Walt Disney Productions as a voice actor for films such as Lady and the Tramp (1955).[citation needed]

Answer 5

The song that makes me cry the most is a song called "My Immortal" by Evanescence. Beautiful , but sad written lyrics. A very powerful song that brings me to tears from the very first line of the song being sung. Every time. Amy Lee can sing the hell out of that song.

Answer 6

I thought it was called "Deo". Day light come and he don't go home.... 6 foot, 7 foot, 8 foot bunch.... highly deadly black tarantula. It was "too piercing man". I used to hear it on the radio and didn't know it was a film.
