I wonder: is this actor/announcer Marvin Miller who was the voice of Robby the Robot in the Science Fiction classic "Forbidden Planet"?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:06pm Charlie:

P-90 -- Yes!
  12:07pm P-90:

I dig the slightly "Beatnik" vibe on the backing arrangement. Cool, Baby.

Hi Charlie! I'm home staring at the snow. I guess that's pretty busy...doing nothing. Happy new year everyone!

How does Vicki B (PLU) do it?

@Charlie: "It looks like a crab happily scuttling under a rock, unaware that a big dinosaur is going to STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP ALL OVER THE CRAB LEAVING CRAB BITS AND EFFLUVIA, and eat him."

Frog and Toad!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:39pm Webhamster Henry:

These Arnold Lobel narrated Frog & Toad stories are so much better than that crummy musical they made of the stories a few years ago.
Avatar 12:40pm Scraps:

Frog and Toad Are Squished
Avatar 12:44pm Scraps:

Most children say at this point, "But what does Toad do when he finds out Frog has lied to him? It's the next page, right?"
Avatar 12:47pm Scraps:

that's right!

THANK YOU

I think this is one of my ten favorite songs ever
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:54pm Webhamster Henry:

There are lots of good Aguas De Marcos out there. It always sounds kind of clunky in English to me though.
  12:54pm testingwithfire:

Why does Art sound... Autotuned ? (good afternoon all)
Avatar 12:55pm Scraps:

My fav version is Tom and Elis. It's good in English too, I think.
Avatar 12:56pm annie:

years ago, wwoz had a saturday afternoon dj who played almost every cover of that in her show.. it was great
Avatar 12:56pm Scraps:

Breakaway is one of those albums that came out in several packages. Trying to break out Art.
Avatar 12:57pm Scraps:

@annie, I want every version out there.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:58pm Charlie:

Henry, agreed the English doesn't, shall we say, flow as nicely as the Portuguese, but I like the words, and I don't often get to hear them.
Avatar 1:01pm annie:

scraps, it was a joy to hear. and she was actually able to fill the time and sure knew how to segue them with each other.
Avatar 1:05pm Scraps:

THANK YOU!
Avatar 1:06pm Scraps:

I love that they are happy singing this
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:07pm Webhamster Henry:

My pregnant wife and I sang it in Portuguese at the Loser's Lounge in 1997.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:09pm Webhamster Henry:

There's a video of Elis & Tom singing this that is just great!
Avatar 1:10pm Scraps:

My late wife Velma and I sang it at Marie's, but our version was very amateur. But the memory is good
