Song 239 (Raymond Scott--"Powerhouse")



Most people would instantly recognize this song if they ever watched Warner Brothers' Merry Melodies cartoons; this song was usually played when machinery was running.
Raymond Scott is known as "the man who made cartoons swing;" although he never wrote a music for a cartoon. He sold publishing rights to Warner Brothers and they used his music in their cartoons. The music is really good, well written Jazz music and the musicianship is, as with most Jazz, is incredible.

Here is a performance of the song on YouTube.
