Earthworm Jim - Mortie and Eileen

After buying the Earthworm Jim DVD boxset, I stumbled on a terrific episode, "Lounge Day's Journey into Night", where Evil the Cat is intent on destroying the universe via these two lounge act singers, Mortie and Eileen. They reminded me a little of Peter Allen and Liza Minelli (perhaps intentional? :)).

Here's a sample of Mortie and Eileen's fine body of work from the episode, very enjoyable!

The writer of the cartoon show's theme song, William Anderson, has acknowledged (conceded? confessed? :)) to being the mastermind behind these compositions :)

I've provided lyrics (as best as I could hear them), in case you want to sing along!

  Little hamsters, their mean one eye, yes they do
  They wriggle their noses in the pale moonlight
  Hamster Tim says to Lucille, let's take a spin in my hamster wheel!
  ...
  They're cute and cuddly
  But be careful, they bite!

  I told my baby, things are different from now on... Capiche?
  Don't buy a calendar, tomorrow's already gone...
  You've got your troubles, they'll be gone in a flash...
  'Cos in the morning, the universe, it's out with the trash!

  Life is like a bag o' ham, it's full of fat, but good with yams
  A feast of love's what we enjoy, that's why I'm his girl, and he's my boy
