Spring Cleaning Song From Rocko's Modern Life - The Splat
Summers for fishing and for lounging around. Fall is for raking all the leaves off the ground. Winter is for skating just like Torville and Dean - but we all know that spring is the season to clean! Rocko, Filburt, Heffer and the rest of O-Town's residents rehearsed every Thursday for this special moment. Talk about commitment to spring cleaning! Song from Rocko's Modern Life episode "Zanzibar!":
"Spring Cleaning" lyrics:
Summers for fishing, and for lounging around
Fall is for raking... all the leaves off the ground
Winter is for skating just like Torville and Dean
But we all know that spring is the season to clean
Spring cleaning, spring cleaning!
We deodorize and sanitize and harmonize too!
Spring cleaning, spring cleaning!
We're gonna make this town look all shiny and new!
Spring cleaning, I'll sweep off this mat!
Spring cleaning, I'll vacuum the cat!
Spring cleaning, Where'd I get this dead rat?
You'll find a lot of stuff when your spring cleaning!
We got a lot of junk that we have just been dying to get rid of,
And there's so much garbage in this can that it's about to blow the lid off
Spring cleaning, spring cleaning!
Our disinfecting prowess is second to none! K?
Spring cleaning, spring cleaning!
It's a sick digusting job... sick disgusting job... sick disgusting job...
But it's gotta get done!

Original Viacom Inc. Press Release via Business Wire:
comScore and Viacom Ink Transformational Multi-Year Deal for Cross-Platform Measurement
First Post-Merger Cross-Platform Deal for comScore Marks a Turning Point in the Use of Advanced Currencies
Industry-Leading Viacom Vantage Expands Its Capabilities Even Further with Access to comScore's Uniquely Extensive Data, Delivering Unparalleled Value to Marketing Partners
March 18, 2016 02:29 PM Eastern Daylight Time
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Viacom (NASDAQ: VIAB, VIA) and comScore (NASDAQ: SCOR) today announced a breakthrough multi-year partnership for cross-platform measurement, which marks the first cross-platform deal for the newly merged comScore and Rentrak. The alliance represents a turning point in the business of television and advanced currency.
Viacom will have deep access to comScore's robust set of cross-platform measurement tools and advanced demographic capabilities, which span the linear TV, video-on-demand, digital, and over-the-top environments. In turn, the data will be uniquely translated by Viacom's proprietary suite of industry-leading data-driven Vantage advertising products and available for use as a currency for transacting, thereby unlocking maximum value to marketing partners by delivering the most complete view of the consumer in the industry. Entering its third year, Viacom Vantage pioneered the data-driven product arena when it was introduced and has constantly evolved to stay ahead.
"This partnership with comScore marks a fundamental watershed moment in the business of television," said Bryson Gordon, SVP Data Strategy, Viacom. "This revolution in targeting, currency and measurement is the equivalent of shifting from black and white to color. Viacom's longstanding investment in data and innovation and our unique ability to merge creativity and science has positioned us far ahead in the marketplace by delivering what partners crave – the most comprehensive view of the consumer and the most effective way to reach them."
The data for comScore's revolutionary cross-platform tools gather information from a massive footprint of the population covering more than 40 million televisions and 120 million video-on-demand users in 210 markets across the United States, in addition to more than 1.5 trillion monthly digital interactions.
comScore's rich data is augmented by visibility into associated consumer behaviors, such as shopping, leisure activity and geolocation information. When Viacom Vantage translates these many layers of data, it unlocks state-of-the-art capabilities for advertisers to target television advertising, as well as reach audiences wherever they are consuming content, and then measure the impact of their spend in unprecedented ways.
"We are excited to partner with Viacom on a deal that we believe will transform the way that advertising will be bought and sold," said Serge Matta, CEO of comScore. "Viacom's expertise in data strategy makes them an ideal first partner to leverage our cross-platform metrics and advanced demographics as a more powerful currency on which to transact. With these new capabilities, Viacom's advertising partners will be the first to benefit from a radically more efficient way of conducting business and reaching the most precise audiences imaginable."
Viacom has long pioneered the arena of innovative data-driven ad products, investing in in-house data strategy teams, research, and partnerships. The expanded suite of Vantage products launched ahead of this Upfront season includes products that transform how audience segments are built, how integrated and social marketing content is designed, and how a broad set of advertisers can adopt predictive targeting in days, not weeks. The five new proprietary products are:

Vantage Instant Audience - makes the power of Vantage accessible to a broader array of clients by simplifying the data-driven targeting process.
Viewprint - a data-driven creative map that innovates how custom marketing campaigns are developed by enhancing the level of visibility into consumer segments during ideation to inform and focus creative aspects.

Nickelodeon Suites Resort To Stay Open Unveil The End Of April 2016; Nickelodeon Time Capsule To Move To LA
Guests staying at the Nickelodeon Suites Resort will have a little more time with their favorite Nick characters and the signature green slime before it is rebranded next month, reports the Orlando Sentinel.
Originally, the resorts Nickelodeon experiences, like Double Dare Live and a daily mass sliming, were scheduled to stop on Monday 18th April 2016. Now, however, they'll conclude on Saturday 30th April 2016, according to hotel officials.
Located off World Center Drive east of Walt Disney World, the hotel is set to become the Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites & Waterpark by mid-April. Hotel officials announced the change on the property's website in January.
Lagoon Pool at Nickelodeon Suites Resort
Renovation work has started on-site, including lobby renovations and updates to suites on the Lagoon Pool, said Deanna Padilla, the hotel's marketing manager.
Although the Nickelodeon Suites Resort in Orlando, Florida will be closing, Karisma Hotels & Resorts and Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) recently announced that they are now taking bookings for Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana, Nickelodeon's first-ever international hotel property, providing both non-stop family entertainment and Karisma's renowned Gourmet Inclusive® Experience, which will open in May 2016. Nickelodeon fans can reserve their hotel rooms today at 1-844-SEE-NICK and www.nickresortpuntacana.com.
As guests flooded the hotel's phone lines with questions about the rebranding, another question arose from those most familiar with the hotel, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last year.
What happens to the Nickelodeon Time Capsule, originally buried there in 2005?
"The time capsule will be moved to a Nickelodeon private business office and studio that is currently under construction in Burbank, Calif.," Padilla said in an email.
The exact date for the move hasn't been determined, she said.
The capsule was originally sealed April 30, 1992, and buried at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Orlando. When that closed it was relocated to the Nickelodeon Hotel. Contents of the capsule include rollerblades, Twinkies, a copy of Nickelodeon Magazine and a jar of Gak, a gooey child's toy popular at the time, among other things. You can watch a fantastic video featuring the original burial of the Nickelodeon Time Capsule at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios, Orlando, below.
Every Item Inside the Time Capsule Nickelodeon Buried in 1992
Keeping with the original plan, the capsule will be opened on April 30, 2042.
The new Nickelodeon Studios, being built next door to the Nickelodeon Animation Studio, will be a state-of-the-art five-story glass structure that will unite the entire Nickelodeon family in a single facility and will be a hub for the entire animation industry. As the new site will house both live action and Nicktoon productions, the studio will also officially change its name from Nickelodeon Animation Studio to simply Nickelodeon Studios.
The opening will coincide with Nickelodeon Animation's 25th anniversary in 2016 - the networks three original animated series, "Rugrats", "Doug" and "Ren & Stimpy" premiered on Sunday 11th August 1991 - and one of the goals for the new facility is to draw upon that history.
The creative campus is designed as an open and inviting space where employees feel the freedom and inspiration of an artists' retreat. Among the perks will be an on-site restaurant and coffee shop, a central courtyard with designated lecture space and a music room.
A Nickelodeon Studios app will include a rundown of events for the day including guest speakers, tours and screenings, and allow for easy communication and scheduling across all departments. Observing that creative ideas spring more frequently from casual interactions than forced meetings, Nickelodeon wants to seize the opportunity for greater collaboration and mobility between Nick’s various production arms.
More than just a base for Nickelodeon, Nickelodeon will open the studio up to the community with tours and programs targeted at aspiring animators, aficionados of the form and industry professionals.
