I was perusing the internet last night, watching old clips from shows such as Kenan and Kel, Ed, Edd and Eddy and Dexter's laboratory to name just three. Gosh it got my juices flowing, it made me remember Saturday and Sunday mornings when I used to wake up early, storm into my parents room and ask if I was allowed to watch television. I always was, and it was always cartoons as a really small child. I began on Cartoon Network and then slowly advanced onto Nickelodeon. And now having just spent the last 15 minutes on youtube once again reliving my time as a small child I have some clips to show you, I hope you notice a theme...
BOOM
POW
ZING
PLOP
JEEPERS
CHEMICAL X - A SECOND POWERPUFF THEME SONG BECAUSE I'M NOT VERY MANLY
And the theme is... well themes... All of the shows had themes that to this day I can still recite (whistle along to) as if I was a pale 6 year old in front of his television. Which made me think, I miss proper theme tunes that were good. Today a television intro always seems a formality, the only grown up (well not aimed at a 6 year old) show I recall watching this year with a boss theme tune was "Noel Fielding's luxury comedy", and that show was awful. Here it is, as my goodbye gift.
