I've always loved cartoons and how zany they can be. Here I've picked some of my favorite musical moments from cartoons: theme songs, character motifs, tributes, covers, background music, and snippits. This one has it all, and hopefully a lighthearted enjoyable ride for the listener. I wanted to add some tracks from Teen Titans GO! but sadly I don't have any of those albums, and wasn't up for the task of ripping off YouTube. I labeled as best as I could, some of these are more library music style and hard to track down the actual composer. Honestly, it was hearing "Be Careful What You Eat" and Mojo Jojo covering Tears for Fears that really prompted me to build this mix as I really wanted to use those tracks somewhere.

ReplyDelete.......sideways, sort of.
Great Mix! Thanks much,
Obey Gravity
I can totally hear that, and suspect it was intentional by the composer.
DeleteI wonder about there being no Dickies, not so much Banana Splits theme as that was just hosting cartoons, but how about Gigantor? And Puffy Amiyumi with the Teen Titans Theme? They were actually quite good in concert, btw. One of the concerts my daughter brought me to. As for me, I am still looking for any band that covered the Touche Turtle theme song. I do love that you have both Kiki's Delivery Service and Totoro!!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! I went with what I had. Would have included several from Teen Titans but alas I don't have those CDs or downloads. And not to split hairs (ha ha), I didn't think the Banana Splits were a cartoon? And Touche Turtle? You just unlocked a very old memory of my youth, I'd have completely forgotten about that otherwise. Thank my children too, they keep me young at heart and invested in watching cartoons frequently. We are a Ghibli household, my younger daughter still sleeps with a stuffed Totoro that I bought before she was born. I loved making this mix, and will likely do a part 2 somewhere in the future. Recommendations are certainly welcomed.
DeleteI can send you any you don't have. Email me. As for Touche Turtle (and Dum Dum) I can't seem to find it right now, but there is a website with all the episodes. Brilliant and yet Dum.
