Not only do we have Agent Marley and Agent Cliff, but also, the hospital was named "St. James Medical Center", which I would like to think is a reference to the song "St James Infirmary Blues", which I adore. Especially since the sign was blue. My favorite version of the song, combined with my most favorite piece of animation EVER: The Fleischer Studios's Snow White (1933, starring Cab Calloway and Betty Boop:

Brilliant stuff. The entire cartoon is here. Also a favorite: The Old Man of the Mountain, for lots of fabulous Cab.

I haven't seen the ep yet, but thank you so much for this. I love Cab Calloway, and though I've never seen this particular animation, I do have many fond memories of Fleischer cartoons. Oh my... this has just made my day!

Yay, I'm so glad! It's mesmerizing, isn't it? I love how surreal the early Fleischer cartoons were.

God I love certain types of music. This makes me want to go grab all my Art Tatum out and listen to it.

Jeffrey Foucault does a great cover of this song.

Also, that video was like a crazy acid trip. I think something in my brain broke. :D
