h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Aaaaaw no fair how come EVERYONE has a wombles affiliation apart from me? Humph, I shall make my own womble music and it'll be far superior to any CD/record ... I have the smurfs but I would like to point out that I am not proud and it is purely accidental
And BTW, irrelevant comment but need to infiltrate it somewhere "Woohoo Schumi for Champion!"

I just found a wave file of the theme to Rubarb and Custard. Now that is a cool theme.

oooh, *impressed face assembled*
Not as good as Bagpuss though... or the Magic Roundabout now that was class duh duh du du duh ... do you know you can't do phonetics for the magic roundabout theme? I feel robbed
Actually the best cartoon ever was Dungeons and Dragons, can't remember the theme tune but the programme was excellent!

I've got the theme from Dangermouse somwhere too.

I've got the theme tune to D&D...

"it's a dungeon's and dragon's ride"
"this is scary"
"woaah"
"where are we"
"do not fear, barbarian, acrobat, theif" etc

recall it now?

Yeah actually and there was the rollercoaster/ghost train type thingy and they all went in and then...didn't that unicorn die? That was sad. Dangermouse was cool too but it has to be said that the theme for Banana Man was the best (after Thundercats obviously) although He-man had actions so it's a tough choice. My mates laughed at me the other week as we found an old He-man video and I knew all the words, I can't understand why thats seen as funny, surely everyone does?

I liked thundercats better than he man

Why are you on strike? From what, life in general or something specific?
Thundercats had Kit and Kat and those fun surfboard things and that snarffy cat being but He-Man had the big cat thing too and he could use the power of animals and he had the power of greyskull and there where cool action figures and there was She-ra (who on second viewing at an older age was actually quite feeble and pathetic) and it was just better and I really REALLY need to get a new conjunctive

I never found she-ra good, but then she only came in when I was tiring of he-man... still liked thundercats though.

I can't actually remember a He-man without She-ra it'd be like Benjamin without Tulip (that was my mums favourite childrens book, my brothers called Benjamin so you can imagine how close I came to being called Tulip). Anyway, she was feeble and pathetic (as I mentioned) and just stood there whilst He-man went to rescue her! Honestly, and I used to think she was such a good role model as well. Of course that honour is now reserved for Buffy which has been annoyingly moved to Wednesday so as to confuse everyone but that's entirely irrlevant

OY!!!
*annonyed looks all round*
What are you lot playing at? I start a perfectly good thread about music suitable to get off your head to, and while I'm at glastonbury u turn it into a discussion on antique cartoons!

*suffering from reality lag!*

Well it did sort of make sence at the time.

U went to Glastonbury? Did you see the great man that is Boris Johnson? There was such a funny interview with him and Billy Bragg Did you get to see Kelis murder many brilliant US anthems such as Nirvanas Teen Spirit and Born To Be Wild?

Besides the only reason we diverted to cartoons was because er... without your valuable input we were without sufficient knowledge to have an informed musical discussion

I've decided that the Rainbow tune wins the cartoon theme competition although it does sound remarkably like SClub5's new song so I may shortly re-evaluate my opinion

So thats where they get their inspiration from, I suppose it suits the alternative version of their name.

Back to the theme of Thundercats, I recently went to my boyfriend's house and completely embarassed myself when I spotted an old Thundercats video. I forced him to watch it with me and then asked him to record the theme tune for me on tape! This is how sad I am! Incidentally since I grew up in France, I watched all these cartoons dubbed in French, but they were just as cool!

Sclub5's alternative nature as in them being appalling?

How does the snarffy cat thing sound when dubbed into French? Is it just the same or does it change like ducks quacking noises? I saw Stop the Pigeon in German and that was really fun

I grew up watching the smurfs in Welsh (not understanding Welsh) - came as a big shock to see the smurfs AND understand them... the 'toon lost all its appeal

I can see how it'd come as a shock because up until that moment you could have thought that Tom Jones was a smurf, to find out the truth would be upsetting at a young age

I was at University, the first time I saw the smurfs in English.

Were you at Uni the first time you realised Tom Jones wasn't a smurf then?
Congrats on finishing your exams, all mine have been done too so the denial is setting in in preperation for results day
