Walter and JoePuppet by Craig Marin

"Powerhouse" (1937) is an
instrumental musical composition
by Raymond Scott, perhaps
best known today as the iconic
"assembly line" music in
animated cartoons released
by Warner Bros.

Guest host Walter Cockeyed (Joe Bev) returns as guest host, substituting for Joe Bevilacqua while he's in outer space, featuring audio from the first two "Ruff and Reddy" cartoons (1957), Mel Blanc as Daffy, Marvin the Martian and Porky in "Duck Dodgers in the 241/2 Century" (1953) and as Bugs Bunny and Marvin in "Hare-Way to the Stars" (1958), and "Huckleberry Hound Goes to the Moon" (2010) - voiced by Joe Bevilacqua & Lorie Kellogg, based on the 1960 Hanna-Barbera Golden book, written by Carl Memling, illustrated by Norman McGary and Hawley Pratt.

Plus, Professor Ludwig Von Whatchmacallit (Fred Frees) introduces the show from his rocket ship!

This revised version of an earlier special also includes The Raymond Scott Quintette performing Powerhouse on 78 RPM record (1937) and live on the NBC TV show "Your Hit Parade" on April 16, 1955.

Professor Ludwig is right! You can SEE the music on this video of Raymond Scott on NBC's "Your Hit Parade:

In electronics and telecommunications, modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a modulating signal that typically contains information to be transmitted. (WIKI)

In telecommunications, modulation is the process of conveying a message signal, for example a digital bit stream or an analog audio signal, inside another signal that can be physically transmitted. Modulation of a sine waveform transforms a baseband message signal into a passband signal.

A modulator is a device that performs modulation. A demodulator (sometimes detector or demod) is a device that performs demodulation, the inverse of modulation. A modem (from modulator–demodulator) can perform both operations.

A low-frequency message signal (top) may be carried by an AM or FM radio wave.

Or explained by physics.

Raymond Scott (born Harry Warnow, September 10, 1908 – February 8, 1994)^[1] was an American composer, band leader, pianist, engineer, recording studio maverick, and electronic instrument inventor. (WIKI)

Although Scott never scored cartoon soundtracks, his music is familiar to millions because of its adaptation by Carl Stalling in over 120 classic Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and other Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies animated shorts. Scott's melodies may also be heard in contemporary shows like Ren and Stimpy (which use the original Scott recordings in twelve episodes), The Simpsons, Duckman,Animaniacs, The Oblongs, and Batfink. The only music Scott actually composed to accompany animation were three 20-second electronic commercial jingles for County Fair Bread in 1962.

Joe Bevilacqua, also known as Joe Bev, is primarily known as a radio theater dramatist, but his career has taken him into every aspect of show business, including stage, film, and television, as a producer, director, writer, actor, and even cartoonist. In 1971 his father bought him a cassette recorder, on which he created his first audio story, Willoughby and the Professor, acting all the voices himself at the age of twelve. In 1975 Daws Butler, the voice of Yogi Bear and many other Hanna-Barbera and Jay Ward cartoon characters, dubbed himself Bevilacqua’s personal mentor after hearing a 120-minute cassette of Willoughby improvisations. Since 1980 Bevilacqua has produced many award-winning radio programs for National Public Radio, Sirius-XM Satellite Radio, and others.

"Joe has also combed through those mounds of audio (if I may mix metaphors) to come up with Volume One of "The Best of Cartoon Carnival." This features Joe's personal interviews, some of whom are no longer around to talk today: Joe Barbera, Leonard Maltin, Bob Clampett, Stan Freberg, Daws Butler, Mel Blanc, Bill Marx, June Foray, Bill Scott, Hoyt Curtin, and Craig Marin. The almost three-hour compilation show also features narration from Doug Young (Doggie Daddy) and Janet Waldo (Judy Jetson), both happily still with us today." - Don Yowp

Incredibly, Joe Bev currently acts on stage, TV and in movies, reports for NPR (All Things Considered, Weekend Edition, Latino USA), and still finds time to produce 36 unique hours of radio every month, 12 of which are underwritten by book publisher BearManor Media. They are The Comedy-O-Rama Hour, The Jazz-O-Rama Hour, The Joe Bev Experience, Cartoon Carnival, The Joe Bev Audio Theater, The Joe Bev Sunday Edition, The Voice Actor Show, The J-OTR Show, The Lost OTR Show, and The Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention Celebrity Interviews (all of which are also hosted by Joe Bev), plus shows hosted by others: Lorie's Book Nook with Lorie Kellogg, Fred Frees Favorites with Fred Frees, What's Cookin'? with Chef Steve Mendoza, Aroma Thyme Radio with Chef Marcus Guiliano, and Movies on the Air with Bryan Hendrickson.

Manhattan Research Inc. is a two-CD compilation of electronic music created by the musician, composer and inventor, Raymond Scott and his company, "Manhattan Research Inc." Posthumously released in 2000 by Basta Music of Holland, the album contains selected samples of Scott's work from the 1950s and 1960s for film soundtracks, commercials, and for his own technical and musical experiments. The synthesizers, sequencers, and drum-machines used were designed and constructed by Raymond Scott. (wikipedia)

We Travel the Space Ways
Sun Ra and his Myth
Science Arkestra

We Travel the Space Ways is an album by the American Jazz musician Sun Ra and his Myth Science Arkestra. Recorded mostly in 1960, the album was released in 1967, on Sun Ra's own label Saturn. The album brings together a number of eras and personnel of the Arkestra, and was probably mostly recorded by Ra himself during rehearsals. (wikipedia)

Music Out of the Moon, Compositions by Harry Revel, Arrangements by Billy May and Les Baxter (Capitol).

Space Escapades, Les Baxter

One of the records that marks the start of the Space Age Pop era. Along with Music for Peace of Mind, it championed electronic music, prominently featuring Samuel Hoffmann's performance on the theremin. It also marked the start of Les Baxter's career as an arranger. The eerie sounds on this album have since become engrained in our cultural psyche as what space is supposed to sound like. (http://www.spaceagepop.com/lpspace.htm)

Space Escapades, Les Baxter (Capitol)

Perhaps THE classic Space Age Pop cover, a colorful shot of astronauts and space women enjoying friendly banter at a lively space cocktail party. I would say the music is lesser Baxter, but that would earn me the wrath of armies of Baxter fans. (http://www.spaceagepop.com/lpspace.htm)
