Carl Stalling

This post is kind of an extension of the last one about John Zorn, but also connects quite well to the first post I ever wrote featuring Van Dyke Parks.

To paraphrase wikipedia, Carl Stalling was an American composer who wrote most of the music for the Looney Toons cartoons. He worked at Warner Bros. for 22 years, writing on average one complete score every week.

It's funny how the opening of "The Good Egg" is so familiar, yet listening to it just as music makes you realise how good it is and actually how well it fits the wacky animations.

Here is the first compilation of Stalling's music released by Warner Bros:

"The Carl Stalling Project" by the Warner Bros. Studio Orchestra
