The Simpsons Theme Song

atsonicpark · 04.22.2008, 10:29 AM

I always loved the music in Ren and Stimpy. It was a mix of library music, including some themes that were hilariously obvious and ridiculous and didn't fit the scenes at all, and a mix of original music which was pretty.. wacky.

I also love the Rugrats music, composed by Mark Mothersaugh. Perfect actually.

Doug's music.. at least the stuff by the Beets...

The best, though, was the Looney Tunes stuff. Just unbelievable.

Interesting thing about the Simpsons theme.. if I remember correctly, Matt Groening gave Danny Elfman a tape of songs he wanted Danny to reference for the theme, and I think Matt put the Residents on there as a reference point.

Closely related though not a cartoon is the music of Pee Wee's Playhouse...

Hmm, you got the Looney Tunes right adam, they've got some brilliant music in there. Simpsons are also cool, especially the Itchy/Scratchy theme song, it ruels.

Old Marvel cartoons are also pretty cool.

The great piano jazz featured in all the "Peanuts" cartoons by Vince Guaraldi.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 04.22.2008, 02:05 PM

I love the music used in the old 1930s and 40s cartoons. There was always a certain amount of insanity to it. I also love how it would very often echo the actions on screen. The sounds of little steps and stuff.
