Songs that remind you of cartoons

Are there any songs that remind you of certain cartoons? When I was little, I remember hearing Journey's "Stone In Love" on the radio and thinking "Stony Love" which I started associating the song with the Flintstones. Also, when I listen to Donnie Iris' "Love Is Like A Rock" I think about Batman chasing Gossamer (Red hairy monster from Looney Tunes) to the beat of the song.
 
When I was young I used to imagine cartoon characters singing the songs that I liked so I have a whole boat load of them:
  • I always imagined "Game of Love" (Wayne Fontana) to be sung by Mickey Mouse talking on the phone to Minnie. Goofy and Donald are providing the back-ups.
  • During "Summer in the City" (Lovin' Spoonful) I think of Winnie the Pooh in a city telling all the characters from shows that I watched to get out because it is too hot.
  • "Pretty Woman" (Roy Orbinson) make me think of Tigger because of the growling part
  • I imagined Piglet singing "Homeward Bound" (Simon & Garfunkel) and "Happy Together" (The Turtles)
  • I thought of Scrooge McDuck during "This Diamond Ring" (Gary Lewis & the Playboys) and I imagined him to have a duet with Magica de Spell in "Lightning Strikes Again" (Lou Christie)
  • I had Gadget from Chip n Dale: Rescue Rangers singing "Leader of the Pack" (The Shangri-Las)
This is just the tip of the iceburg here...
 
Ever since Scythemantis' comment to me in PM that "everybody loses" on Invader Zim, I'm somehow reminded of "Nobody Wins" by Radney Foster.
 
Whenever I listen to Iced Earth's "I Died For You", I keep on remembering that there's an awesome Gargoyles AMV waiting to be made from that song, even if it is based off of Spawn. I also get the same feeling from their "Dracula" for an American Dragon vid, which once again is based off of an already-existing piece of fiction.
 
Ever since I first saw Tiny Toon Adventures, hearing the songs "Respect" or "It's in His Kiss" by Aretha Franklin have reminded me of TTA because of the episode that featured those songs.

The Christmas song "Noel" reminds me of Animaniacs because of the short episode that spoofed that song.

Those are quite obvious. I do not remember making any abstract connections between songs and cartoons, despite my tendency to take songs out of context.
 
I can't explain this because I have no idea why, but whenever I hear "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" I think of Rainbow Brite :confused: Might be the beginning medley - again, I'm clueless.
 
When I listen to the song "Birdhouse In Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants, it reminds me of The Nightmare Before Christmas for some reason.
 
Johnny Rivers' version of "Rockin' Pneumonia And The Boogie-Woogie Flu" reminds me of Bugs Bunny, primarily because of a BB comic book I once had in which bugs calls himself Buggsy-Wuggsy, which sounds like Boogie-Woogie.
