PS: Nothing can beat the Dickies cover of the Banana Splits theme! An American Punk band from the late 70s, it was only released as a Single on yellow vinyl, also called 'the Tra La La song', check it out.
The Ramones cover was used in a Spider-Man toy commercial.
Yes, I have it. It's still in my CD holder in my Jeep.
I wish they'd release another one with the Magic Garden theme, Zoom, Sesame Street, The Electric Company, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Villa Legre, etc.
I have the VHS of this. I uploaded it to CZcams & one by one, they were taken down. Once the 5th video was deleted, so was my CZcams account.
Ahhh, 'Villa Alegre', now that's a show I never hear folks mention, but I was a fan of, in the early 80s! 😊
"The Spanish pronunciation: [ˈbiʎa aˈleɣɾe], meaning 'Happy Village' is a children's television show and the first national bilingual (Spanish/English) program in the United States. It was produced by Bilingual Children's Television as its inaugural project on the company's founding in 1970.
Villa Alegre debuted on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in 1973 and ran until funding disputes ended the project in 1981.
The show was also seen in syndication on commercial stations at least weekly in some markets." 🤓👍
#VillaAlegre
Yes, I agree, need a new compilation album featuring all these old theme tunes!! 🎉
Now this is a cool album. If you like this album, I recommend checking out “Saturday Morning Apocalypse” by Powerglove, it has the X-Men theme done in Metal, it’s awesome.
Not only did I have the album I also had the VHS Tape it was hosted by Drew Barrymore and her friends and it showed music videos for all the songs with the bands performing them and clips of the shows. You can find most of these songs on CZcams if you type in the name of the group and the name of the song.
I have this and the School House Rock one somewhere in my storage
The Spider-Man song is also on The Ramones last their last album.
Still have my CD from when I was a kid. I talk about this all the time. It’s way better than it has any business being.
This was Cartoon Networks toonapalozza not mtv 😵💫😎 I used to smoke up to this every day
Got the CD when it came in the 90's. STILL have it too. The 1hr long show was aired on The Cartoon Network. STILL have the VHS tape I recorded it on too. The music AND the videos are great! I was born in the 60's, so it hit me in the feels.
Wow Junkman! Not only brought back memories, but I went to find my copy (CD) while you were playing the snippets of each song! Thx for reminding me I have that CD!
Its shocking that the Ramones didn't cover Spider-Man sooner.... a bit of trivia here....Peter Parker went to the same highschool as The Ramones..... Forest Hills High School in Queens.....AT THE SAME TIME!
I had this. Ramones's Spiderman was my favorite. Perfect song for the right band." in the chill of the night at the scene of the crime"
They played it at Lollapalooza 96. Good stuff, great topic.
Drew Barrymore's got a strong chin. Almost....too strong.
The Ramones's Spider-Man theme song was a really good cover.
I've always liked Drew Barrymore's baby doll look. :)
Hey in a certain light drew barrymore is considered attractive
@scottvincent3062 Hey, I never said she was unattractive. She's just got a prominent jawline. Not Robert Z'dar territory, but a caricaturist would work with that, let's say.
I had this. The Ramones Spider-Man was my fav.
Wow, have this, just listened to it last week! Loved it then love it now.
I didn’t have the album but I remember when it came out . MTV played the video for Liz Phair’s Banana splits theme “Tra La La” The Ramon’s Spider-Man was played in heavy rotation on the late nite alternative shows like 120 minutes
Then they made another compilation album of KISS songs covered by alternative bands and Garth Brooks. But not as Chris Gaines.
Nah, the greatest Gen-X album was either "Generation X" or "Valley of the Dolls", both by the 70s British Punk band Generation X (with Billy Idol on vocals).
Oh I see what you mean! No, you probably won't have heard of them, I misunderstood the premise. 🤣
I had the cassete sampler version that only had three or four of the songs. I did make a copy of another album from my school library that was a two record set of tv theme songs, including a lot of the ones these were covered from. My buddy had the actual Ren & Stimpy record, and I copied that onto a tape also.
No I never had that album, although I've heard of Saturday morning cartoons slow jams.
This was a great album. I had it on cassette and CD. I wish someone would do a new version with songs from the last twenty or so years.
I would have bought a burnt copy on CD, the dude at Smileys Flea that used to sell boot leg cassettes with the washed out primitive zerox copied almum covers was gone by then but worth the wait if I knew about it.
I think I have the one they did for Schoolhouse Rock.
I really like that one.
@@tperson8347 I have the original Schoolhouse Rock albums, too.
@@gooniesgirl1979
The only thing I have in the way of the soundtrack is the two disc Schoolhouse Rock that has all the cartoons and the bands' covers on it. :)
@@tperson8347 I have the soundtrack box set in like a denim binder set and some single album CDs and I have the TV series on DVD.
@@tperson8347 That could make a good video.
I don't think I would be into this, but I'm glad you did this video.
I like Violent Femmes pretty well.
I have heard of rock bands covering Schoolhouse Rock.
Goodness doing "Electricity" is a pretty good cover.
Just throwing it out there, I liked The Presidents of the United States's (who are from Georgia) covering the George of the Jungle theme song. :)
Thanks for the video
It's very quirky. Not an album I played back to back to back. I recognize all the snippets but there were a few I focused on.
Honestly a lot of the cartoons were either before my time or didn't play in my area so I had no connection. I knew Spidernan very well though.
@@shanester1832
The only one that was of my time is Ren & Stimpy.
I watched The Flintstones, the old ScoobyDoo, and UnderDog reruns when I was a little kid, though.
I wish I had that album! That's some rockin' music, Junkman.
I don't know that the Drew Barrymore thing was done for MTV but it was released as an insanely strange VHS tape and it took me a few years to find it at a thrift store.... I also have the cassette and Cd version of this.... never knew it ever got put on vinyl though and never heard about the comic either.
Cartoon Network. I was wrong
@@ThatJunkman that makes a lot of sense. I bet it would have been a lot more expensive to do mtv than cartoon network at the time!
Mmmmm Liz Phair, loved them 90's indie chick singers.
The Spider-Man theme was done so well by the Ramones it almost feels like they wrote it! I have it and I love it!
Ramones and Matthew Sweet make this album.
I bought that a few months ago for the butthole surfers doing wonderdog. Fun fact I met the Ramones , joey thought I was a Goth.
Saw this on vinyl here at a record store called Sound Garden but it was WAY too much!!!
I remember that album. I was about 20 so I had no appreciation for it. My older friends that were 28 or so really liked it. My childhood album would have been more along the lines of Transformers, He-Man, Thundercats, G.I. Joe n shits. I looked down on ANYTHING from the 1970s until my late 20s or early 30s. Now I have a much bigger appreciation for programming from those dark ages. I tend to refer to that period as "the last of the organic times". Pre cable television n internet.
I had that CD!
HELMET was a cool band.
I bought a copy of this CD but I wish I hadn't. From my perspective it's a mistake purchase. I bought it thinking it was the original songs with the original vocalists, not realising it was cover versions.
There's nothing I like there. Where's GI Joe, Transformers, Wheeled Warriors, MASK, Pole Position, and the other good stuff from the 80s?
Err, the concept album features all the 60s cartoons some of us 70s and 80s kids grew up with, watching them as re-runs, often during the week.
To your point though, it would be cool if some bands from the late 90s and 2000s came out with a similar concept album featuring all the memorable 80s cartoon theme songs!
Somebody get #DrewBarrymoore on this, ASAP! 🤓👍
Those would've been great with metal bands from the 90s covering them.
I own this CD
I agree with you, the sublime track was the best
I had this album. I don't remember Frankenstein though
More Boomer kids than GenX, but cool. The bands are largely GenX
Most of this are the 70s with most boomers being in their teens by then :)
Hey Junkman! Huge fan! This year is the 40th anniversary of “The Terminator” how come you haven’t done a review of the best (or worst) terminator toys from the franchise?
Maybe I should
Ahhhh Tanya Donnelly and throwing muses, great band.
Thanks for reminding me how bad 90's bands were.....except maybe collective soul but even then guilt by association. I'm gonna go walk off a ledge now.
You gonna tell me sneaker pimps were a bad band
@@scottvincent3062 No I can't tell you that, but I'll give them a listen then come back and tell ya...lol
I had this CD just a few years ago, it was garbage, unlistenable, I got rid of it, don't even remember how, I think a garage sale for 50 cents.
I didn't like this album. I really enjoy the original versions.
The Speed Racer cover is the only song on the cd I heard.
