THROWBACK THURSDAY: Gene Autry's Bizarre Bunny Fixation

"Forget that bunny, kid! Run! Now!"

Gene Autry is best known as one of the original singing cowboys. But in 1949 he also had become known as one of the country's top purveyors of Christmas novelty songs for kiddies. He wrote and recorded "Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer" as well as "Here Comes Santa Claus." Later, he's become the first to record "Frosty the Snowmen."

So it didn't seem like such a crazy idea to try to bring some of Autry's Christmas magic to another holiday. Songwriters Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins -- the guys who wrote "Frosty," convinced Autry to record another one of their compositions in 1950: "Peter Cottontail." And damned if that rascally rabbit didn't grab a lot of carrots.

(Actually Autry wasn't the first to record "Cottontail." That honor went to a singer named Mervin Shiner, who recorded it earlier in 1950.)

Here's Autry performing "Peter Cottontail" in a 1951 western called Hills of Utah. I've never seen it, so I'm not sure what's going on in the scene. (And I'm really not sure about the pervy-looking dude who gives the little girl a stuffed rabbit.)



"The Funny Little Bunny" was the flip side of Autry's "Cottontail" single



Autry tried to repeat his "Cottontail" success Easter in 1951 with this double-sided rabbit record. It didn't quite work.



At least on the flip side, "Bunny Round-up Time," Autry returned to his cowboy roots.

WACKY WEDNESDAY: A Stormy Tribute

America has Stormy Fever.

At least for the next 13 minutes or so.

Here are some songs that some of the most important musicians in America have sung about Ms. Stephanie Clifford.

(OK this is dumb, I know. But if we can't have some good cheap laffs about a president porking a porn star, what kind of nation have we become?!?)

Here is the best song about Stormy, though it's not the best-known version. But we ll know Carlos is far cooler than the late Dennis Yost. (By the way, the singer here is Greg Walker.)



Here's a classic tune called "Stormy Weather" best known for the Judy Garland version. It's performed by The Reigning Sound. I don't think Dorothy done it this a way ...



Every blues act -- from T. Bone Walker to the Allman Brothers to the shitty cover band that's always playing at your local bar -- have sone "Stormy Monday." But I'm pretty fond of this one by Hawaiian bluesman Uncle Willie K., wielding a mean blues ukulele.



Finally, anyone who knows Santa Fe's Jim Terr knew he was going to write a Stormy Daniels spoof. He's probably written several, but this one will touch you ...
