Closing Out Grey Cup Weekend 2015
Nov. 30th, 2015 12:00 amSomewhat disappointed that Ottawa didn't get the trophy this go-round. But anyway...a weird thought about comic book characters and music.
One of my favourite tunes from the 1980's was Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight", popularized by Miami Vice in its pilot episode. I make no apologies for that admission about my musical tastes. Likewise my enjoyment of Mike W. Barr, Alan Davis and Todd McFarlane's work on Batman: Year Two, continuity gaffes and all. I mean, really? Jim Gordon, just promoted to Captain at the end of Year One, getting that much further up the ladder off-camera in a matter of - at most - a handful of months? No.
But that was then, a couple of iterations of DCU continuity and a quarter-century ago.
Anyway.
Anyway...getting back to music. There was this episode of Justice League back in 2004 - the cartoon series - where Circe turned Wonder Woman into a pig. "This Little Piggy", written by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kingofbreakfast. And we got to hear Kevin Conroy, then the voice of the Batman belt out one of the better jazz standards in order to save the day.
Wondering - not for the first time - how a Conroy cover of "In the Air Tonight" would sound. It seems apropos for any number of reasons.
