Another week exploring Seminal Works. This week our three hosts, Keith Vincent, John Holt, and Mary Varn are joined again by Adam Moerder. Fair warning, we get a little loopy on this one (maybe it was the heat).

Segment 1: Duck Amuck, Merrie Melodies dir. Chuck Jones (short animated film)
Mary Varn (@maryvarn) has us take a look at what is considered to be one of the greatest cartoons to this date (second only to another cartoon by director Chuck Jones, "What's Opera Doc").
You can watch Duck Amuck for as long as it is still up on Vimeo. You can also purchase this short along with many other greats on DVD and Bluray. The Golden/Platinum collections are great for their historical commentary.

Segment 2: Bad Hair Day by "Weird Al" Yankovic (album)
Adam Moerder, or as he's known on the twitter:
brings us an album from his childhood. Weird Al's eighth album "Bad Hair Day."
You can find Weird Al's Bad Hair Day on Spotify, Rdio, Amazon, iTunes, and other places that carry albums-in-print!

Join us next week for two selections from John (@lordjoho) and Keith (earthlingkeith.tumblr.com) that continue our theme of "Childhood."
