Learning to Crawl is the third studio album by British-American rock band the Pretenders. It was released on 13 January 1984 by Sire Records after a hiatus during which band members James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon died of drug overdoses. The album's title of "Learning to Crawl" was given in honour of Chrissie Hynde's then-infant daughter, Natalie Rae Hynde. She was learning to crawl at the time that Hynde was trying to determine a title for the album. Learning to Crawl was a critical and commercial success, reaching number 11 on the UK Albums Chart. In the United States, it peaked at number five on the Billboard 200, making it the band's highest-charting album in the US. Tracks: Side 1 1. Middle Of The Road 0:00 2. Back On The Chain Gang 4:15 3.

Pigs Is Pigs is a 1937 Merrie Melodies short directed by Friz Freleng. Notes: This film was the second (and last) featuring the Family Hamhock, which Friz Freleng had apparently intended as a series of recurring characters. They made their first appearance in "At Your Service Madame" – this presented Mrs. Hamhock as a widow to whom her late husband had left a sizable inheritance. Rooted in the concept of morality, each of her seven children embodied one of the seven-deadly-sins; Piggy, of course, represented gluttony and was a clean freak. Leon Schlesinger didn't like this idea and Mrs. Hamhock's children would never appear again after this film. Mrs. Hamhock herself would make one last appearance in what would have been the next short in the series, "Wholly Smoke" (1938), with Porky Pig cast as her only child. The scene at the end of Piggy leaping out of bed to dash downstairs to breakfast was reused footage of the shot that first introduced him in "At Your Service Madame". "Pigs Is Pigs" is considered significant because it is the first ever appearance of Freleng's "hold the onions" gag. "Pigs Is Pigs", like other Blue Ribbon reissues before July 1937, retains its original end music. Some aspects of Piggy and his family were revived by Steven Spielberg in his Tiny Toon Adventures animated series. The character of Hamton J. Pig and his parents are a clear reflection of the Hamhocks. Like Piggy, Hamton has an incessant appetite and is a clean freak. A clip of this short was seen as a Toonami montage for its tenth anniversary. Goofs: The animation appears crude by later Warner standards and contains some goofs. Piggy's design includes a set of distinctive birthmarks on him; in the beginning, he has three – one on his head, one on his rear-end, and one on his right knee. Throughout the rest of the film, he has only the ones on his head and rear-end. The birthmark on his head keeps changing sides -- see above pictures. At the end, when the scientist is letting him go, he is standing behind Piggy, yet (for a moment) his first right toe is in front of Piggy's fat stomach. Mrs. Hamhock speaks with a German accent through most of her scenes, but at the end, her normal accent from "At Your Service Madame" returns. The newer Latin Spanish dub of this cartoon as seen on DVD releases and current TV airings erroneously gave Piggy Porky Pig's stutter in his speech for reasons unknown
