Favorite Cartoon Music

Hopefully you are not being sarcastic, but if you are serious, thanks. Off topic, but does anyone know any albums has the original "Makin With The Magilla" song, even it is a out of print vinyl album?
 
He probably said that because there's an original Art Garfunkel song in that.


Bah! Well then forget trying to defend you!

'Powerhouse' probably just says "CARTOONS" in the subconsciouse of billions. I also like that Raymond scot tune that was used in the 'army' episode of Ren & Stimpy, it's a perfect fit.

They always played 60's style pop songs during the case scenes, during 'Scooby Doo'. It makes no sense. The Scooby gang are never presented as any kind of band, and yet they are suddenly playing music during the running around parts. Every week.

Dexter's tributed this with "Eyes, Eyes, Eyes". This kind of stuff is right up my ally. I guess that's my style, cheesey.

The Archies' number one hit is 'Sugar, Sugar' I've got to get that for my computer. An essential classic to go with 'Chewy, Chewy' & 'Yummy, Yummy, Yummy'

The Villain themes & Batman's lend a unique mood to Batman: TAS that matches its look.

I look back on the rockabilly phaze of The Flintstones. The Way-Outs stand out in my mind, as well as a dream episode of Pebbles and Bam-Bam as child music-stars.

Quick question. Why is Zorak's band 'The Original Way-Outs', they don't look anything like what I still remember.

Oh-yeah. I forgot to mention the theme of Mysterious Cities of Gold.
 
Hey Arnold - Heavily influenced by jazz and big band. They even have their own big band singer, here named Dino Spumoni. Not your average kids show soundtrack.

Muppet Babies - They have so many cute, catchy songs (at least one for each episode) - some are better than others, though.

Peanuts

Vision of Escaflowne - Instead of a TV show, you feel like you're watching a movie! They put real thought and care into what they wanted to use.

There are more, but my mind has gone blank.
 
Well I know Rhino has a Scooby Doo release that featured the old chase songs released in 1998 and still in print. Also in 2001 Rhino released a limited edition Josie and the Pussycats reissue of the 1970's soundtrack which is out of print.

But other that, I don't know any other Hanna Barbara related albums.
 
Scott Bradley's MGM cartoon scores. His scores with Tex Avery more then Tom & Jerry, but I still love the latter.
Not to sound like a fanatic, but his scores really "brought the cartoons to life". :)
 
Gotta give to the scores for Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Taz-Mania, etc. I miss hearing classic WB music like that. You just don't hear enough xylophones in cartoons anymore.
