J.T. Love's Glory Days - Season 1
J.T Love's Glory Days
J.T. Love's Glory Days is a web series, with songs hosted and performed by Jordan Tyler-Love. Each song is based on retro, nostalgic songs, mainly from nostalgic movies or short subjects, hence the name, "Glory Days". The series was announced in January 2024, once Jordan had announced that JazzHandz! Podcast, which had originally been greenlighted for a third series, in May 2024, had been postponed, due to scheduling conflicts, but this particular series' first episode, She's the Daughter of Rosie O'Grady (made popular by the 1947 Bugs Bunny cartoon, A Hare Grows in Manhattan), premiered on 14th January, followed by 12 more episodes. It is the semi-predecessor to JazzHandz!, however Jordan uses his singing voice to tell his stories.
About the series
A Hare Grows in Manhattan - She's the Daughter of Rosie O'Grady (Season 1, Episode 1, GDSJLS01E01)
She's the Daughter of Rosie O'Grady is a song from the 1947 cartoon "A Hare Grows in Manhattan". Jordan had thought of the idea of the song franchise during the Christmas vacation, as he thought his phase of Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel - Gilmore Girls) made sense. Other people from his acting group, Spectrum, since their recent performance, back in December 2023. Jordan had been praised for his performance as "Wonka" in "A Christmas Carol", plus the Eggleston family, Lily, Ro, their mother Shelley, and Annie Jones, Jordan's former teaching assistant's daughter, for how they believed in him. Jordan got the idea by listening to Ro's song performance. A few days later, when he got home from the cinema, he traced back all the way to the Porky Pig 1945 cartoon, "Trap Happy Porky". The song "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling", where Porky seldom gets any sleep, a bulldog and a group of cats disturb him from his slumber, resulting him in joining in the chorus, as the cartoon irises out. Jordan later practiced part of the same song in his 5 minute Xmas special, "Rory Gilmore Meets Looney Tunes", a mixture between Ms. Bledel, and his amateur version of his Mel Blanc impression.

Her character - Rory, below.
Just over two weeks later, the day after New Year's Day, on his day off, he began watching his favourite franchise. He thought he could take his mind off his podcast, and start a nostalgia show, which led to him thinking further. If legendary Looney Tunes voice, Mel Blanc, and modern predecessor, Eric Bauza, professional voice artist, could recreate that essence, so could amateur, rookie voice actor-in training, Jordan Tyler-Love here.
That following Saturday after watching that same Looney Tunes cartoon a billion times, he had finally gotten to the point to try something other than his acting group. He found the lyrics and began recording his verses. Later that evening, he got the music from the cartoon on DaVinci edited, then removed the audio online. It was then on YouTube, and repeated the same technique, for his future songs.
Summary - Dream:
It is New Year's Day, Jordan had just gotten home from his mother's, he rested, fed up of watching cartoons, so he daydreamed that he was going to Leeds, in the Pudsey district, or at least he thought. He dreamt he was going to meet his no. 1 idol, but after trying walking by foot, he decided to go to sleep....the whole afternoon!
.webp)
Reality:
Jordan was really trying the find the right storybook for his next comic book, as he felt that Dr. Lady and Mr. Bugg was not the right project for him. Also, the idea of boys being voiced by child actors, is not how he pictures his vision. So, the advice he would tell his adversaries, is, that he prefers comics/graphic novels/picture books, any books with pictures. He has never liked books without pictures, ever. Just ask him, Jordan is like a male Alice in Wonderland, who almost found a moral down an "eh, what's up, doc?" hole.
The Squawkin' Hawk - Someone's Rocking My Dreamboat (Season 1, Episode 2 - GDSJLS01E03)
Original airdate: February 3, 2024
Production details: Third episode produced, second one to air, as this episode, the pilot, and the third episode below were all ideally based, from December 27, 2023. These next two episodes were complete by February 2, 2024.
The original picture, of which had Jordan dreaming of having a girl of his own, was originally supposed to appear as the song's title cover, but due to controversial reasons, at a point where it could make viewers uncomfortable, and the fear that Jordan would lose subscribers, the idea had been scrapped.
This is the current picture of Jordan singing in black and white, as a last minute idea.
Jordan was dreaming of meeting his new deal sign, but the cloud has a mind of its own. Should Jordan succeed, he would have to outsmart the cloud. At 10am, Jordan wakes up and decides, that it would not work out, as it would jeopardize his dream job. There'll be other chances to make his match.
Reality:
Jordan knew he had to put away his big ideas, as Lil' Hot Finster was put back in the J.T. Love Industries vault. He had also declared that he prefers board games to video games. "So, why not do some board game pieces of art?", he thought. He thought of it right away.
Trivia:
This song was first released back in 1941.
The Squawkin' Hawk was the first Looney Tunes short to bear this song in the entire cartoon, as Henery argues with his mother over a measly looking worm. That said song was used in five more cartoons: A Tale of Two Kitties, The Big Snooze, Roughly Squeaking, Gorilla My Dreams and Kiddin' the Kitten.
The cartoon female Jordan was originally supposed to use as a caricature was DC Animation's Supergirl, as seen in her redesign from the 2005 episodes of Justice League Unlimited, but as a redesigned brown haired girl, then a blondie.
She was supposed to be a siren, but to lure Jordan to his new "reality". As Jordan sang the second chorus: "All at once a storm drew us apart, and left me drifting alone....." The cloud took her orders, drifted Jordan to another dream deal sign. This idea had also been shelved.
Supergirl (Nicholle Tom - Beethoven, The Nanny) had yet been an inspiration for Jordan's first female superhero, Sheena Starwell - Starwell, Girl Wonder. Based on her, his older cousin-in-law and mixture of Alexis Bledel and her character, Rory Gilmore. Which will hopefully, be Jordan's next comic in the works.
Baby Puss - You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby (Season 1, Episode 3 - GDSJLS01E02)
Original airdate: February 3, 2024
Lyrics by: Harry Warren and Johnny Mercer
Production details: Second episode produced, third episode released.
This was undoubtedly supposed to be the first song to air in both production and release order, as Jordan had planned the show since during the rehearsals of the Spectrum Christmas show. He was going to ask his music teacher if he'd be able to share it with the group. He then showed his family instead. They enjoyed the rough draft he had recorded.
A few weeks later, around January, Jordan had gone through the music of Carl Stalling (one of Jordan's favourite musicians) and Scott Bradley. Although three of the Looney Tunes shorts had adequate scores, they were not right for his cover. Eventually, he went for the score from "Baby Puss (1943)" composed by Bradley, known for Tom and Jerry classic animation.
Summary:
Dream - Jordan tries to sing this to his youngest niece, as a pre-birthday gift to cheer her up as he had not seen her during Christmas.
Reality - Jordan wanted to impress his friends at his theatre group. He had held it in for so long, he just wanted to give everyone an example of his taste in nostalgic tunes.
Trivia:
This song was originally sung by the legendary Bing Crosby, whose version had become a huge hit back in the 1930s and has since become a cult classic.
Elmer Fudd sung a "special" verse in "The Hardship of Miles Standish (1940)", where his character John Alden, sings a telegram to the tune of this song to his sweetie, Priscilla, as a letter from Miles Standish.
There is no character or daydream big enough, as this was supposed to be the pilot. This episode, the previous two episodes, and the next episode have all been produced in 2023 (December) hence why they say part MMXXIII-MMXXIV. Nothing fancy about this episode, as it is only a cover rather than a song based on a plot. From all other episodes, starting with the next one below, will have been produced in 2024.
Some Sunday Morning - (Season 1, Episode 4 - GDSJLS01E04)
Original airdate: February 3, 2024
Music by M.K. Jerome and Ray Heindorf
Lyrics by Ted Koehler
Production order: This is the final song to be produced in 2023. All future episodes through this season and Season 2 would now be produced in 2024.
This was originally supposed to picture of Jordan resting on his balcony, but unfortunately, that idea was replaced with a sunny farm background.
Summary: Jordan is taking a break from modern stuff, as he feels more open-minded and obligated to try something new - experimenting something outside of comfort zone, a bit of relaxation. He heads off to Chesterfield for a few hours. But daydreams about his favourite celebrities along the way.
Trivia:
This song was first introduced in "The Big Snooze (1946)" where Bugs invades Elmer's dreams, then the song was used in other shorts, most notably in "Easter Yeggs (1947)" and "Each Dawn I Crow (1949), both featuring Elmer Fudd also.
The music Jordan had used was the title and ending music score from the latter short.
A Hunting We Will Go - (Season 1, Episode 5 - GDSJLS01E05)
Original airdate: February 4, 2024
Traditional
Production order: This is the first episode to be produced and released in 2024, as this song was a straightforward idea, and easy.
The background used in this song and the next one is based on the opening title card, "What Makes Daffy Duck? (1948)", hence why Jordan chose to use the opening music as it was very easy to use. No tracing whatsoever.
Summary:
Dream - Jordan is dreaming of having Duck L'Orange, as advertised in Illumination's recent, but a box-office bomb release "Migration (2023)", which had just been released this February over in the Union Jack.
Basically, real-life versions of Mac (Kumail Nanjiani) and Pam (Elizabeth Banks - Hunger Games and the Lego Movie franchise), their children (Tresi Gazal and Caspar Jennings), Uncle Dan (Danny DeVito - Matilda, The Lorax), and Delroy (Keegan Michael Key - Mario Movie franchise) were flying somewhere Jordan was hiking in the Peak District. Jordan had noticed Gwen (the duckling who had refused to do her business in the sky in the actual movie), literally did the opposite, but Jordan ducked before he noticed the faeces landed on the chef's (Boris Rehlinger) head instead. Jordan laughed boisterously, but before the chef could attack him, Jordan had hidden in a bus shelter. Not just any shelter, a certain one in real life. He was waiting in line for 218 back to Sheffield. One of the passengers threw their fish and chips container at the chef, not noticing him at all, animation or real. The Chef screamed his way back into the "Illumination" verse, injured and all. Good riddance. Jordan woke up, it was only a dream.
Reality - Jordan was doing a special arrange for his childhood friend, a week later, had duck, and watched Migration. As Jordan was in a rush to see his niece and nephew, he realized that the movie was not a good one, it was indeed the second worst Illumination movie, he and his friend had ever seen. The Mario Movie was the better movie for both. Not as bad as "Hop (2011)" or the recent "Madame Web (2024)", despite that movie's failure, he liked Dakota and Sydney better.
He would eventually discover a few voice actors usually in the additional voices, such as Brian T. Delaney (Illumination's second regular), Michael Beattie (Illumination's lucky charm) and Nora Wyman (whom Jordan had started to recognize and take a liking to), that were not in this particular Illumination movie.
However, he hopes that Joey King (Ramona and Beezus, The Kissing Booth trilogy, Bullet Train) will surpass her performance as Poppy in Despicable Me 4. At least Jordan hopes Illumination had better smarten up, or he will start making cheesy reviews. Sydney Sweeney and Joey King had Jordan impressed with them both. It may not make a lot of sense, but this is how Jordan tells most of his stories, at least since he was 15.
Trivia:
This song shares the same tune as "The Farmer in the Dell/Den" a slightly overrated, yet complicated nursery rhyme.
Not only used in the WB cartoons, such as "What Makes Daffy Duck (1948)", and others such as "Daffy Duck Hunt (1949)", "To Duck or Not to Duck (1943)", "Quack Shot (1954)" and the MGM cartoon, "Lucky Ducky (1948)", as well as the Donald and Goofy cartoon, "The Fox Hunt (1938)".
Joey King will later be mentioned in a later episode.
King for a Day - (Season 1, Episode 6 - GDSJLS01E06)
Original airdate: 4 February 2024
King for a Day
Music by Ted Fio Rito
Lyrics by Sam Lewis and Joe Young
Summary:
Dream - It's Valentine's Day, and Jordan is not really fond of it. So, Jordan is asleep at 2am, dreaming of his next One Man Show, he would impress his friends, especially his proud family. The next hour, Jordan sang this as his third song, the talent scout in the corner (played by an unknown agent), quietly writes her review in the audience. Jordan takes a bow as he tells the audience that he is taking a 15-minute intermission. The agent comes up to Jordan and tells him that he will have a bright future ahead of him, despite his age. He wakes up, the following morning, in reality, it was only a dream.
Reality - Jordan is trying to impress his group at Spectrum, so he can make sure he can actually be professional, rather than "act professional". There is real difference of the story here. He decides to see if he could think over the hiatus of the "One Man Show" to reduce the pressure. He does this by watching an episode of Night Court (the reboot, not the original).
PROMO: Jordan Tyler-Love's One Man Show has been greenlighted for a third and fourth sequel, but will be hiatus until Fall 2025, replacing the original "Lil' Hot Finster" YouTube release date.
Trivia:
The recording date was a week before Valentine's Day, but Jordan wanted to get his mind off it by singing another retro tune.
This song is by far, one of the least popular song, Jordan drew his attention to. However, there are other future songs Jordan would also sing, that he wouldn't feel comfortable with.
"Night Court (2023)" is a reboot of the original 80s classic, but Jordan prefers the reboot, as Melissa Rauch's character Abby Stone, performed appropriately, yet impeccably better than her performance as Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz in the popular, yet seriously overrated "Big Bang Theory" franchise. She is later referenced in a few other later songs.
Pleased to Meet You, Friend - (Season 1, Episode 7 - GDSJLS01E07)

Production: Jordan had literally thought of doing his own "silly song", and he knew this tune was it.
He had been working for Flycheese for five years, since 2019, and he knew since he needed big ideas for his next project. He revealed during production on this show, that this would be a temporary sideshow. However, due to scheduling conflicts with other projects and reassembling his unit at J.T. Love, Jordan now considers his musical sketch show, as already acknowledged that "JazzHandz! Podcast" is on hiatus.

Jordan is tasking how many voice actors are in a loop group. This is so he can be courteous and professional at the same time in order to focus on things. Also, this is the start of his official voiceover reel. He thinks he can top off a "Lady C" impression, thus mocking the infamous Seth Rogen laugh. He just needs to take it, day by day. The male voice actors are referenced later on in another episode.
B-Story:
Jordan is planning what else he would like to accomplish before reality bites both his yin and yang in the butt. But where to find new ideas, without infringement?
Meanwhile, Jordan tries to impress his group once more with another new idea. Will Jordan be able to up the ante in reality, and face his fears by building up more confidence? Or will he start to brag and exaggerate? Tune in for the next story.
Trivia
- This song is based on the cartoon "Hare Brush (1955)", as Jordan wanted to try and see if it worked out.
- The ending song of that same titular cartoon, a cover of "The Bunny Hop", will be used later in a special episode.
Lullaby of Scarborough - (Season 1, Episode 8 - GDSJLS01E09)
Adapted from the song "The Lullaby of Broadway" by Harry Warren
Amended lyrics by: Jordan Tyler-Love.
Production:
Jordan wanted to do a little ditty of his favourite beach. He always loved the smell of the sea and to "ride 'em, boaty!", as they say. But since he prefers Scarborough, Bridlington and Skegness, to a lesser extent, than Whitby or the desserted island village they call a "beach", Cleethorpes, why not?
The music Jordan needed was going to need to be taken in desperate measures. He thought sailing could be a way to get away from it all. In a B-story, Jordan had still tried to look for a new horizon within, and underneath, if this makes sense.
This is the ninth episode in production order, but the eight to be released.
Summary:
Dream - Jordan was off the train with his mate for the weekend on one of his birthdays, one sunny week in August, he knew the first thing he wanted to do was sail.
But little did he know that one of his favourite celebrities from Los Angeles, Riki Lindhome, was coming to perform a sea ditty for her British fans. Jordan had always wanted to meet her.
A few hours later, once Jordan had gotten himself ready, a security guard came knocking on their hotel room door. His friend asked, "What seems to be the problem, mate?" The guard wanted to see Jordan immediately. Jordan then asked, "Have I not paid for me ticket, dude?". The guard had then pointed out, "It's not that, sir, or you being in trouble. Ms. Lindhome needs your help. Kate Micucci is unable to book a flight from Leeds Bradford Airport back to LA. Could Riki possibly stay the night?"
Jordan was delighted. As Garfunkel and Oates had sung their seaside ditty, Jordan knew it was time to head back to the hotel. It was nearly 11pm, and the friends' train back to Sheffield was early that Sunday.
The next morning, as the two guys enjoyed their morning Fish and Chips with curry, they made their way back to Scarborough train station, just in time, only to realize the train they were boarding, wasn't the train they expected. It was a mystery train. As the doors shut, he realized Riki and Kate were on the same train, with some other familiar faces. The conductor was Big Zuu who said to the guys, "This is an express train, bruvs, headed for Meadowhall for you, Sheffield for your friend, and London Heathrow for the fellow celebs! What d'you think of that, mates?"
"Thank you!", the guys said. Jordan was not tired, but he decided to stay awake, as it was his "dream within a dream". Jordan then asked the blonde beauty for her autograph. She signed his fanart. You see, she and Kate were going to be guests on Lorraine Kelly's vacation morning special, the next day.
"Thank you, Ms. Lindhome. I will never forget you." Jordan had gotten off at Meadowhall station, platform 1. He waved goodbye as Riki, Kate, Big Zuu, Davina McCall, Cat Deeley, Jenny McCarthy, Chelsea Handler, Kendra Wilkinson, Jordan North, and Toronto voice actors Ron Rubin, Lenore Zann, Cal Dodd, alongside LA favourites, Rosario Dawson and Natasha Leggero, LA voice actors Eric Bauza, Jessica DiCicco, JP Karliak, and Vancouver voice actor, Nicole Oliver all waved back, as the train was heading for London Kings Cross station.
Jordan realized it was time to go back home, but because 75 was hourly, he went to his mother's home.... The next morning, he wakes up in his own apartment. Again, it was only a dream. But an exciting one! He hopes to meet Garfunkel & Oates in reality, someday.
Reality - Jordan is thinking about what to do for his next birthday, canal or seaside trip. In a B-story, Jordan was already finding a way to continue his stories, to be precise during inventory. It was a hard job, but all the good to take his mind off group activities.
Trivia
- Jordan had originally dreamed of Euphoria, but due to an experience with the show that had traumatized him, the project was indeed scrapped due to personal reasons.
- Jordan, in reality, goes through an annual summer trip, nearly every year, and has been doing most since 2015. His favourite beaches are Scarborough and Bridlington.
- Jordan is still a fan of both Garfunkel and Oates in real life, most known for their TV and movie appearances, since he is fond of Riki as Valerie in Wednesday, and Kate as Webby in the DuckTales reboot.
Riki Lindhome

Hickory Dickory Doc - (Season 1, Episode 9 - GDSJLS01E08)
Original airdate: February 8, 2024
Traditional
Production: Just a basic nursery rhyme, and the second one in the series.
The music is taken from the intro of the 1950 Sylvester short, "Stooge for a Mouse".
Summary: None whatsoever, as this song is easy and simple.
Trivia: The short is heard in two other shorts, the latter of which are Hubie and Bertie cartoons, by Chuck Jones: "Mouse Wreckers" and "Cheese Chasers".
This is one of the songs Jordan preferred, out of the nursery rhymes in the series.
__________________________________________________________________________
Start the Day Right is based on the Charlie cartoon, Dog Gone South (1950), of which Jordan uses the title music sample from, with amended lyrics, such as:
Now, what do you say?
Let us be on our way,
It's important to Start the Day Right!
Production:
Jordan had discussed with Emily about what he wanted to accomplish, and writing a list was definitely on the list.
Summary - Dream:
Jordan is getting for his trip to York from Meadowhall, to visit the York Designer Outlet, planning his first trip to York in a decade. However, Jordan is unable to go, once realized there were train strikes for the whole week. In reality, Jordan wakes up to find out this is seriously true. So, he decides to go later in the year.
Summary - Reality:
Jordan is planning to do an essay on his favourite thing, but what favourite thing should he able to talk about? Let's see - inventions, character gags that no one has ever used, or an art camp? No, he would think about writing in notebooks about what he would do for a new future.
When it comes to his ideas, some of which are either mindless, misbegotten, or downright unrealistic. Or some of them are perfect for where he wants things to be. For example, he originally wanted Kool Ladd (his prized, proud mascot; on hiatus) to sound like Jude from 6teen (his voice actor shall remain nameless), but then changed his voice to a mature surfer dude accent, to prevent privacy invasion, as of now Jordan is keeping a low profile.
So, Wallace suggested that Jordan remained on one thing at a time, though Jordan will often misinterpret the advice given to him. Hereafter, it seems like Jordan had to keep all his ideas in a notebook in the first place. One mishap leads to another, but perseverance takes courage, and courage takes brain.
Moral: Ideas/blueprints that will soon put to good use, as long as those ideas are kept in place in a notebook, push it aside, and focus on one thing at a time. Because if you rush, as what Dr. Seuss may say: "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing will ever get better. It won't."
Trivia:
- This is the first song in which Jordan bases reality on facing the facts as a responsible life lesson.
- As mentioned earlier, some of Jordan's stories may not make sense, but it is how he tells his stories. This is also the lesson he learns, especially when pop culture is involved, in which Jordan likes to use to help him focus, regardless of the situation or distraction he encounters.

Glory Days' Finale: Part 1 - Jeepers Creepers (Season 1, Episode 11 - GDSJLS01E11)
Music by Harry Warren
Lyrics by Johnny Mercer
Original airdate: February 10, 2024
Jeepers Creepers is a popular 1930s ragtime song, originally sung by the legedary African-American jazz rhythm singer, Louis Armstrong, later covered by other famous nostalgic celebrity performers, such as Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Doris Day, and others.
It first appeared in the late 1930s Warner Bros. movie, Going Places, in which Warner Bros. would use the song as a soundtrack for mutiple Looney Tunes shorts, such as a later cartoon of the same name (1939), Calling Dr. Porky (1940), Notes to You (1941), Hollywood Canine Canteen (1946) the newly found original title cards of the underrated Porky Pig cartoon, "Mouse Menace (1946)", which had recently been found back in January 2024, Ant Pasted (1953), and the late 50s short, "Show Biz Bugs (1957)". So yes, if you are into retro songs, like this classic gem here, then this is one of the songs for you.
Summary:
Dream - Jordan, preparing a ditty for his favourite celebs, through a performance stage at Dronfield Civic Centre (in reality, he's never been there before). The first verse, which are based on the original lyrics, he sees Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney in the third row, next to a talent scout. The talent scout writes their review down.
Dakota Johnson
The second verse, Jordan came up with these by improvising these to Lady C and Edwina Currie (as holograms):
Boasting, ghosting
Would you quit your hosting?
We'll start boasting (smiling happily at Chelsea Handler and Kendra Wilkinson)
Look your Sunday best
Look your Sunday best! (Chelsea and Kendra each shake a hand of Jordan, they laugh)
Jordan breaks the fourth wall, by falling down the pillar of stairs back on stage, opening a door signed "Assorted gags:. He then falls on his head comically, as if he was his own pogo.
NOTE: As it is only a dream, and in his dream, he's a toon, he'd be alright. But in reality, Jordan would literally injure himself seriously silly, acting like a "dork!"
Chelsea Handler
Kendra Wilkinson
The third verse, as same as the first, full this time, he sings to Nicholle Tom and Riki Lindhome. The last line of the verse, "How'd they get that size?", he bows down to both actresses, as an appropriate gesture. Big fan.
The fourth verse, the first two lines, Jordan now sings this to one of his childhood presenters from his home origin, original Channel 5 former TV presenter, Naomi Wilkinson, whom he has always wanted to meet since he was a little boy.
Hustle, fuscle,
Would you muscle your bustle?
Haunting, daunting,
'Til the day is through. (Naomi shakes his hand, giggles, Jordan bows down appropriately. Mouthing - big fan!)
(To the other celebs in the audience)
Bristle, whistle,
For a hungry taste
For a hungry taste! (Takes a bite out of a McSpicy, as he did not eat before the performance.)
Naomi Wilkinson
Audience claps. Jordan bows down to his other TV presenting idols, Jen Pringle and Anna Williamson, both of which are semi-mannequin holograms.
Fifth verse, the first two lines, are of which Jordan sings to 2000s blonde beauty, the beautiful Sara Paxton, the other half of the verse, he sings to the other celebs in the audience.
Prowling, scowling,
Werewolves begin their howling
Roaring, soaring,
In the dusky sky
In the dusky sky!
Sara Paxton
Paget Brewster
Jordan then vanishes into thin air, curtains roll for intermission, and looks from behind the curtain, with a magnifying glass, and sees two more of his favourite actresses, Alanna Ubach (as mentioned earlier), and Paget Brewster (Criminal Minds, Kathy - Friends, Birdgirl, Della Duck - DuckTales and Dan Vs.), both in appropriate civilian attire.
Jordan was delighted to see Ms. Ubach as he had wanted to meet her for a long time, too. He then yells "Big Finish!" and starts tap-dancing while singing the repeat lyrics as the final verse. Unlike what happened to Daffy in "Show Biz Bugs", everyone clapped, as Jordan bowed to the audience. He throw roses to each celeb, in the audience. The next morning before he went to his voluntary one afternoon, Jordan wakes up in surprise, and says, "That Alanna Ubach is sensational! I wish I could meet her!"
Reality - After a long week, Jordan's new mission is to get noticed by his idols for real, and the only he'd do it would be to think of appropriate strategies to get their attention, within reason, while respecting their privacy.
In a B-story, Jordan tries to win back the trust of his friends, rather than joining the group trips, Jordan thinks earning means engaging with them by showing them his website, once it has been complete.
In the end, Jordan just thinks everything out by completing his blog in reality, by telling his story in the third person, to make it not only professional, but reality means honesty. This is so people he knows in life, know what he's on about.
Trivia:
- Each celebrity in this song, during the song in the dream sequence is female, most of which only he is familiar with, e.g. Paget Brewster, Alanna Ubach, Naomi Wilkinson and Sara Paxton, compared to more well-known celebs, such as Chelsea Handler and Dakota Johnson. However, since this dream was original story for the blog, and with its PG-13 rated storyline, the dream has since been only referenced on the blog.
- The reality storyline, however, is later referenced in the song commercial for J.T. Love Industries, while being a special, "Any Cards, Today?". The entire song's story is indeed a full, wholly-original real story, and not a dream.
- This, along with a scrapped Season 1 episode, "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" from Trap Happy Porky (1945), as mentioned earlier, were originally supposed to be the pilot episodes, but instead this song is now the first half of the Season 1 finale. While the latter song had been put back on the song production list for a later episode in the future.

Summary:
Dream sequence - Jordan is worried that the same old story about big projects is getting to him. So, since he couldn't sleep, he decided that if Lil' Hot Finster and Starwell, Girl Wonder were going to get noticed, Jordan needed to start off with something small to make his ideas grow.
That's it! Card game pieces. He wakes up and draws them, in the same sequence, in reality. This is the only dream that had happened to become a reality story.
Trivia:
- As part of the story it is revealed that Jordan is not an avid gamer, yet he likes board game pieces since he prefers them to video games. Which in turn, has targeted his friends (and colleagues/supervisors) occasionally, but he does respect their opinions and the fact that multiple voice actors participate in various video games such as Steve Blum, James Arnold Taylor, Brian T. Delaney, Fred Tatasciore, Kari Wahlgren, Scott Menville, Nolan North, Yuri Lowenthal, Piotr Michael, JP Karliak, etc. So Jordan understands this perfectly, but he researches voice actors in his spare time.
- The scores Jordan uses for this song are from "Often an Orphan (1949)", "It's Hummer Time (1950)" and the title music from the Daffy Duck/Porky Pig short, "Thumb Fun (1952)", in addition to the closing cue from "Hoppy Go Lucky (1952)".
- The game pieces that are referenced are part of the game "Russian Roulette", a type of Poker game played in casinos. However, gambling is not something worth participating or wasting your entire salary over. Ergo, cards and dice are continued to be drawn as art for Jordan's ideas.
- This song had later inspired to be the basis for the J.T. Love industries art commercial, "Any Cards, Today?".
- This is the first full length song not to include any pop cultures of any sort, nor feature a dream within a dream. However, this is the first time the plot of the dream becomes a reality.
- This is the second song to become a song in which Jordan bases reality on facing the facts as a responsible life lesson as an inspiration.

A Glory Days Special - Any Cards, Today?
Adapted from the song "Any Bonds, Today?", written by Irving Berlin
Additional recreated lyrics by: Jordan Tyler-Love
Any Cards, Today? is a parody of the popular, yet propaganda-controversial WWII song "Any Bonds, Today?", as heard in the 2-minute, titular 1942 Bugs Bunny short of the same name.
There is no dream summary, but the song introduces Jordan's soon-to-be-new mascot, The Wisdom Man, a more eccentric, middle-aged, bald Jamaican-British man, partially modelled after Jordan.
For the title card, Jordan reused the same gag from "Ain't We Got Fun?", albeit without the poker reference and roulette wheel. Cards, dominos and dice, are fully recognized in the card itself.
The urge is for Jordan intending to sell his art as a plan to settle and practice for his voice acting and artist portfolio.
Lyrics:
The Tall Man in the High Hat,
And the whiskers on his chin
He'll soon come knocking at your door
And you ought to be in
The Tall Man in the High Hat,
Will be coming down your way
Get your savings out
When you hear him shout, "Any Cards, Today?"
Any Cards, Today?
Cards of Wisdom, that's what I'm selling
Any Cards, Today?
Scrape up the most you can
Here comes the Wisdom Man
Asking you to buy your Cards of Wisdom today
Any Cards, Today?
"Dominoes and dice?
They're worth the price!"
Is what he'd say
Here comes the Wisdom Man
Can't make tomorrow's plan?
Won't you buy your share of "Cards of Wisdom", today?
Any dice, any cards, today!
Trivia
- With the Bugs short in the public domain, the exact same track is used for Jordan's cover, albeit without the "Girl I Left Behind Me" flute intro cue, and the Al Jolson scene removed, Jordan altered the lyrics, so that not only he removed the WWII and other offensive references, but to make this commercial politically correct for a modern-generated audience.
- The Wisdom Man is the third official mascot based partially on Jordan Tyler-Love. However, unlike Kool Ladd (the main mascot) and Harold Brothschild (the documentary secondary), created exclusively for the company, Wis is based on Jordan, he is not Canadian, he is British, Yorkshire, just like Jordan. He is also a little more mature, wiser, eccentric, balder, and slightly older than both Kool and Harold, and the real-life Jordan Tyler-Love. He is also neurotypical and mature, unlike the other three, who, especially Kool Ladd, is verbally autistic. Wisdom Man is officially, exclusively created for the J.T. Love Industries' Art division, so it is likely fans will only see him in songs, commercials and occasional posters.
- The song itself was praised by his friends, colleagues, and his YouTube followers, Jordan praised this song as the most commercial song cover, he had ever come up with. One of the Spectrum players, found it like "classic heaven". Jordan will soon use this to promote his website and future career.
- This special serves as the official series finale of the first series and the premiere of the second series, followed by the Muffin Man.

It is an honour to share with you, what Jordan conjures up. They may not make sense, be popular or showstoppers, but these oldies are inspiration for Jordan to express his ideas for a career, by his imagination of pop culture. Thanks!
