Songs: Sequence Erase
I have the instrumental version of Sequence Erase in my head after watching the ‘pilot’ from 1999, which is really just a intro and an outro set to music. There is no episode in the middle. But I love the song. So funky. Such a driving tension throughout. I love the mounting horns and especially the one horn (sax maybe?) that plays opposite against the others near the end of the song. At end of the song the electric guitar does this high-pitched two note thing that reminds me strongly of a very intense part of the overture of Jesus Christ Superstar, which I love.
Acting: Eaglebones’ heavy sighs
Remember Kif Kroker? Any Wong’s boyfriend from Futurama? He was always sighing at whatever stupid thing Zapp was saying or doing. Eaglebones sighs a lot, and he has that exasperated sigh nailed.
Supershow Villain: Dr Eva Mudlark
Mudlark is by far my favorite bad guy. She’s so quirky and hilarious; like she’s living her life normally and just happens to be doing evil sometimes. She reminds me of Dr Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. Like Doofenshmirtz she makes the Aquabats wait to be bested by her- first while she monologues, then while she takes a time-out to answer a phone call. And just like Doofenshmirtz, she has a ready backstory to explain her gleeful embrace of evil.
