Music in Cartoons is often something that goes unappreciated, especially today, and so I wanted to spend some time to talk about how we got here and how cartoons of the modern age handle music, this is the Underappreciated World of Music in Cartoons!

Honestly i made a ritual of using Shazam whenever a song stars to play in a movie or show. Also poor Guy Moon, working for a a-hole like Butch Hartman must be a nightmare
Guys the s in LS stands for Shill
No cartoon in history had the amount of bangers that Phineas and Ferb did. Don't @ me
@AccursedHawk :)
Courage the cowardly dog goes harder
@@Teddersifyville you're objectively wrong
@@AccursedHawkSpongeBob has better music than Phineas and Ferb…ur on something, man!!!!
@AccursedHawk I agree.
The Amazing World if Gumball Songs are really underappreciated. There's so many songs, but I barely hear anybody talk about them when compared to the other big Cartoon Network shows.
Those are goated
Ben Locket is one of the GOATs of composing in cartoons and no one can't tell me otherwise
I still remember that song they recorded to get a refund from Larry lol
hey rocky we got some awful news
your dad is sick cause we made him blow a fuse yeah!
Am I the only one that finds quite a few of them to be not as good?
SpongeBob’s music is SO iconic. I think every CZcamsr uses its music for memes and background music. SpongeBob’s music is timeless! 🍍
Gary Come Home is a favorite on car rides. No joke we listened to that song on the car ride over to the vet to have our dog Lucy put down after 13 wonderful years.😭
@@CosplayingwithChad oh my gosh I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my pet last year and I’m about to lose another soon and it’s incredibly heartbreaking. god bless you and your family and all the furry friends out there that make people’s lives so much better just by existing ♥️
dude i have the bear in ur pfp!!!!
@@GremlinJohnny omg is it the Costco or Walmart bear cause I’ve bought like two in my whole life, I love the jumbo bears they’re just iconic 😂
@@Badaboombadaboombaby haha i don't even know, i just recognized it immediately. jumbo bears are great!
The best part is that the SpongeBob chase music literally would fit in with anything, that’s how good it is.
I’m suprised it’s never been used as a boss theme for a SpongeBob game
LS Mark didn’t mention Grass Skirt Chase but funny enough it is one of the few original pieces in the early seasons and it still plays a lot to this day.
You should have mentioned how Regular Show used some rock songs from the 80s and 70s and made their own rock melodies for moments of conflict in an episode
Regular show has a amazing score 🔥🔥
I'm surprised he didn't mention Adventure Time or Steven Universe.. Especially Steven Universe, like one of its main draws is the music.
Party Tonight
Sure, everyone aknowledges the 80's pop songs, but the actual score was composed Mark Mothersbaugh, frontman of New Wave band Devo, which makes everything go full circle.
i saw the post and it said new video in an hour then I looked and it said "1 hour ago" and I was like OMG THATS NOW
BRO SAME WHAT ARE THE ODDS
SAME
As a 2010’s kid, hearing adventure times come along with me still makes me tear up a bit, I don’t know why. Something so special about it
The fun will never end
I'll never forget Christmas Island by Lake playing at the ending of Adventure Time. Usually ending themes are just instrumental versions of the intro but Adventure Time chose something different. I knew the show was gonna be something else.
Same, I remember when Adventure Time ended
Yeah same!
theres a music theory video about adventure time's songs on CZcams by cadence hira , its really nice
I think peep and the big wide world is a perfect example of this, it's theme and outro are incredible but what's really impressive is that every episode is custom tailored with it's own soundtrack, it has no typical soundtrack with individual songs but it uses its musical soundfont like sound effects similar to chibi robo where it has music notes for walking/swimming/flying, such an amazing show
OH MY GOD YES... PEEP AND THE BIG WIDE WORLD IS SO GOOD
Such an underrated show
Soundfont isn't a correct term. Just say "instruments".
@@A2Adam even when it's a collection of midi instruments? I thought that was the whole point of the term as the collection of those particular sounds
PEEP AND THE BIG WIDE WORLD MENTION?????? I DIDNT KNOW ANYONE ELSE KNEW THAT SHIW😭 😭
Ren and Stimpy has one of the most amazing libraries of music in cartoons.
"I'LL TEACH YOUR GRANDMOTHER TO SUCK EGGS!"
Dam right
It was so good that SpongeBob just reused a lot of it
@@lolganrox_12katsu30nichi it’s all stock music, wym?
@@Ozzmanian_Devil bro it’s a joke
My absolute favorite that wasn't mentioned has to be Steven Universes score. Of course the actual musical performances are great, but the backing score is so perfectly woven to feel both unique to the series alone, and to fit everything it needs. and with small details like the main characters having their own instruments tied to them, to emphasize any important moments for them, as well as the factions themselves having unique sounds and feelings, the score feels like it has an immense attention of detail to it, and is literally irreplaceable. The whole thing feels so alive, and like it's really trying to speak to you, and I just think that's incredible.
Agreed. Using Smoky Quartz theme as an example, the music is really playful and videogame like, feeling like an afternoon playing games with friends as a kid, which fits Steven and Amethyst as well as their relationship with each other, also fitting their fusion's playful and even child-like nature. Additionaly, the theme becomes more sinister midway through, refleting the other thing that unites Steven and Amethyst: their fear and the feeling of being weak
So true. The idea of having every main character get their own instruments for their themes was genius. My favorite score has to be for Bismuth, personally.
AGREED.
Yeah, love Aivi and Surasshu's music ❤️
I always loved Regular Shows use of classic songs from the 80s in a kids show. Mississippi Queen is a classic
These voice actors deserve all the props for being able to sing to this impressive degree.
A lot can be done with good vocal skills. They’ve all got excellent range with their voices
@@Jackattack359 so true
Yes
In a lot of cases there are other people who take over for the singing roles over the original voice actors
Wander Over Yonder has great high energy music usually integrating fast banjo riffs to complement the fast paced cat and mouse style chases. Every time i rush off somewhere, i think of sylvia running with that fast banjo music. Also My Fair Hatey is a musical episode and it's one of the best episodes of tv ever!
If there is one animated kids show that goes all out with its music variety is The Backyardigans. Especially with how every episode would always have a different “music genre of the day”, ranging from: tango, reggae, calypso, Irish folk (for LS Mark), R&B, different eras of jazz, and so much more. Besides, it was one show that was part of my childhood, and got me real invested in different styles of music.
FUCK YEAH!! Backyardigans had such an awesome variety of songs and music genres! Castaways still gets stuck in my head to this day ❤
@@Sqwivig not to mention the TikTok crazes from this show that happened about three years ago…
Wonder Pets is a cartoon where every episode is like a mini-opera, with a lot of it being sung through. The score was provided by a live orchestra, and it won an Emmy for it.
Avatar the Last Airbender, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, and Samurai Jack are probably my favorite cartoon OSTs. All of them create the perfect atmosphere that encapsulates me into the worlds of those shows. I'm glad people like Mark are shining a light of one of the most overlooked aspects of a cartoon.
I think no matter your thoughts on the show, Steven Universe has the best Soundtrack to date. I'm not just talking about the vocal singing songs, even the background tracks are amazing. Highly recommend taking a listen even if you haven't watched the show
While not an American cartoon, the music in evangelion (both instrumental and lyrical) is absolutely legendary
Even the ambient sounds/tracks and sound design they use is amazing and still engaging enough to put you *in* the mood the scene has you in. Evangelion is one of the best examples of an anime taking a beautiful approach with music.
The intro is such a banger but like for one of the darkest shows 😭
The SpongeBob Musical was such a fantastic case considering how each song felt unique yet blend so well together
Samurai Jack’s sountrack is peak, same with Powerpuff Girls.
Wait ppg had a soundtrack?
@@ipostrandomclipsI remember two songs from PPG. Colors of love and the end theme
YES
YES
YES,
YES that show's tracks are incredible!!!
@@ipostrandomclipseverything has a soundtrack!!!! the world is amazing (:
Powerpuff girls got me into jungle music
Not a cartoon, but one of my favorite animated shorts, Opal by Jack Stauber, has such a good soundtrack. The actual musical numbers are fantastic, but the background score is really good as well. Jack is an absolute wizard with music and I feel like Opal really highlights his talent
Jack is phenomenal with music his popular music come his micropop albums like shop pop opera,HiLo,finite form,viator etc
The Over the Garden Wall soundtrack is incredibly beautiful and really gives off the mysterious vibes the show gives off. Honestly my favorite cartoon soundtrack ever.
If I were to sum up my feelings towards Over The Garden Wall’s score, it would be through these words: nostalgic, eerie, haunting, classy, melancholy, merry, and, along with what you said, very beautiful. It really makes you feel like you’ve traveled back in time to the 19th- early 20th centuries, and that you’re following the boys on their sacred quest to get back home.
Something I always appreciate in cartoons is giving specific characters and locations theme songs/motifs that play whenever they're present
Steven Universe's soundtrack needs no introduction but it really is my favorite example of that, even taking it a step further and having each character represented with a specific instrument/style of music
Leitmotifs?
Joker in Batman the animated series has such a good soundtrack, have you heard it before ?
Or even Sideshow Bob in the Simpsons
Before I even watch, I just wanna say that any show that uses a lot of jazz or classical will always get a win in my book. 😌
you should listen to Lupin the Third. Its incredible for jazz
Class of 3000, Phineas and Ferb, and Fairly Oddparents are proof of how memorable and iconic cartoon music can be.
Some cartoon music goes so goddamn hard, no wonder so many CZcamsrs use cartoon music in the background
This video really made me appreciate just how great the music is in The Amazing Digital Circus, especially in Episode 2 where they made the music fit the tone of what was going on, from its serious and silly moments.
But I think the most jaw-dropping thing that I learned is...MARK IS CREATING A CARTOON?!
Icky Vicky is still stuck in my head to this day. Nothing beats Chip Skylark’s banger bars 🔥
My shiny teeth and me will occasionally resurface from the back of my mind while brushing my teeth.
Honorable mention to Bluey~
The soundtrack is a mix of original compositions and orchestra numbers, made in a style like no other, to heighten up the emotional and the fun of cartoon dogs in a slice of life for pre-schoolers~
Fax
Perfect music to make you tear up
I’ve only watched one episode of Bluey: Flat Pack. The score for that episode is so good that I still listen to it on its own on walks and stuff.
I should probably watch more.
@Mr_Mimestamp I was literally going to mention Flat Pack as an example. It's the music that helps turn a great episode into a perfect one. Easily the best episode of the show
Bluey Creators not being based challenge:
Impossible.
as someone who just got a avatar the last airbender tattoo, this is coming from a biased opinion, but the music from that show is incredible. it really feels like every note has a reason to be played. it’s not only amazing music, just such a wonderful show in general
Low-key Family guys soundtrack is pretty good, I love "Mr bababooey" and "This bababooey is freaking sweet"!
i personally think Futurama's intro song is peak. Its catchy, upbeat and fits the tone of the show perfectly
Just wanted to come here to say the score for Ed Edd n Eddy was just perfect for the show
Another score I’ve been admiring is Gravity Falls. It fits perfectly with the wonder and mystery of the town while still having lighthearted moments. It’d be interesting to take a look at that.
Batman The Animated Series has a score that people remember after they're done watching. They will remember Two Face's nightmarish theme, Joker's bombastic theme, and Mr Freeze's haunting theme because Shirley Walker and her team knew to make them feel big but memorable. Sure Danny Elfman helped compose the main theme and credits theme but most of the work came from Shirley Walker who was a big female composer on TV and Films and would be impact on how comic book shows would sound like if given the right staff and budgets. Also she has a sound stage named after her at Warner's so she's that big.
Shirley Walker's work on Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is my favorite Batman score of all time
Joker's theme in BTAS is so fun but still has a slighty darker undertone
I’d love an Ed, Edd, n’ Eddy retrospective sometime.
There’s just something so incredibly charming about Ren and Stimpy’s stock music.
Definitely
Shout out to Transformers Prime for having a soundtrack that’s so GOATED that the same composer is doing the soundtrack for Transformers One
My biggest issue with prime is the opening theme. It's a good piece and all, but it feels kinda generic hero. It doesn't have the personality I like in an opening.
Brian Tyler also did the Mario movie.
Wait Brian Tyler’s Coming back?! WOOHOOO
Damn it's really unfortunate that there was no talk about the steven universe soundtrack, I'd argue it's one of the greatest cartoon soundtracks to exist. The Emotion the impact that it has on You when watching is crazy, it perfectly compliments a scene no matter what is going on, FUN FACT different characters have their own specific noise or tune in a song so you know exactly who's on screen without even looking at it, and if here's multiple characters the music compliments that by adding all those differnt melodies and tunes together, it's genuinely beautiful, even the the actual songs are catchy, I damn near had over 48 of them in my playlist, I say for anyone who hasn't watched the show definitely listen to the sound track of steven universe trust me ITS AMAZING
Your fun fact is just noticing motifs which are all over music. Glad you really like it though
Gotta shout this out to It's Pony. That show has a lot of physical comedy and hard cuts between jokes, so the musical score really helps illustrate the character's movements in these scenes or even conveys how they feel. They even released the soundtrack on digital stores.
Shoutout to the LS Mark ending theme
Phineas and Ferb made music important to me
Not even just the main songs
Once again, I agree with your editor. You should watch Avatar the Last Airbender. You should also watch Dragon Ball. And do a video ranking every Dreamworks film.
One of my favorite moments is in Tom and Jerry, when Tom was singing “Is you is or is you ain’t my babbyyy” and Jerry house keeps getting more fucked up the more Tom plucked the cello 😂
The amazing world of gumball music is definitely underrated
Every golden age cartoon had some bangers. Tom and Jerry's "The Bodyguard" opening had some incredible sound. Woody Woodpecker, Looney Tunes, you name it!
Shout out to Mike O’Donnell and Junior Campbell for making seven seasons of amazing music all for a show about talking trains.
Yes that was a masterpiece
Friendship is Magic’s music. End of story.
Daniel Ingram is a legend.
That entire show was full of bangers 😭🙌
Steven universe’s first couple seasons have some INSANE backing tracks
first ones that come to mind are mirror match and flambe
No other song makes me feel so many emotions as much as Gary Come Home 🥺
My personal favorite cartoon scores have to be the early peanuts specials. Anything Vince guaraldi touched turned into gold.
YES. Great use of jazz yet again, but on the smoother side
Funnily enough I have been listening to tv show soundtracks lately so seeing a video on it makes me happy. I think a great example of a composer that deserves love is ego plum, composing stuff for post sequel spongebob (episodes like spongebob in randomland come to mind), Harvey beaks, and even the cuphead show. It's got this natural feel to it I just love
He also did Making Fiends
Oh I didn't know that! I also looked at his youtube and saw he did jellystones too and I forgot that completely! Again ego plum is just a fun individual
I think Aivi and Surasshu's work on Steven Universe is the peak of cartoon soundtracks. Assigning each of the characters to an instrument/music genre is so effortlessly integrated into the show's concepts, themes, and emotions. You have fusions with differing genres of Music that could be considered an "evolution" of both characters' genres. Each season's soundtrack is on spotify. I highly recommend giving it a listen.
Invader Zim is a show I’d say had a great and consistent sounding score through its run, even though it was only 2 seasons. The original show had such an industrial sound to the music and it encapsulates the feeling and just overall style of the show with just the theme song alone. There was other themes created for Invader Zim but if you give those demos a listen and then compare those to the final choice, it’s evident that the chosen theme was absolutely perfect for the show.
South Park had good music in Season 1-3, i remember these banjo strums and also also these instrumentals music by Mike Berry, now its mostly hell's kitchen danger stings. Like Mark Said lol.
i freaking love the fairly oddparents title card themes. i honestly wish they were full osts instead of being little jingles.
8:21 Splendid idea Markypooo. Please rank every dreamworks movie!!
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Thomas. The intro theme alone is iconic for its synthy score, as well as pretty much every other theme from the show.
I was looking for someone to mention that show its soundtrack in the classic series is so iconic that people still make recreations of its themes to this day
CGI Thomas had some really good music too
Some of my favorite examples of music in animation are Wander Over Yonder, The Amazing World of Gumball, and (a more indie example) Battle for Dream Island, specifically season 4 and 5 (and some of season 2 and 1).
Specifically in the case of BFDI, it uses some stock music, especially in earlier seasons, but its original soundtrack is just as good as the liscened. The OST of BFB and TPOT are mostly sampled, and also use some melodies from other songs they've used in the past. Not to mention the fact that a small majority of the tracks were made WAY in advance of when they were actually used. Most of the tracks made for later BFB and some of TPOT were made almost all the way back in the early to mid 2010s (for refernce, BFB came out in 2017). I just think its so cool how a song can be made for an entirely different situation, or no situation at all, and can still be used for something later (for example, Hallway, which is the music for the EXIT, was most likely made in 2015 or '16 with its first use in the series being in 2018).
Anyways, I spent WAY too long gushing about the soundtrack to an indie series, that I don't have the energy to talk about the orher examples I mentioned. Oh well, I'm sure someone has talked about them...
Also, since we're on the topic of music, you guys should go listen to Snarky Puppy. They're a Jazz/Funk/Rock band that I just really love. I think you'll like it too, especially if you're a fan of Sonic music...
I think the work Bruce Broughton and Richard Stone did for Animaniacs and Tiny Toons is some of the best ever composed for animation. All the music from the 90s animated WB shows was so good. I also loved how Alan Mencken blended song motifs into character themes. I know most musicals do that, but Beauty and the Beast was the first time I noticed. Of course you can’t forget the GOATs of cartoon music; Carl Stalling, Scott Bradley, and Milt Franklin. I also really love all of Hoyt Curtain’s music he did for Hanna-Barbera. I highly recommend listening to the Futurama score album released awhile back, though the content is sparse.
Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, Batman, and Superman all had orchestras. In fact, Animaniacs used the same piano as Carl Stalling.
Shunsuke Kikuchi's score for the Dragon Ball series is one that often comes to my mind, I love the instruments and cues. Many tracks are reused, but I don't mind, as they always fit perfectly with what's happening on screen. Bruce Faulconer's replacement score is also great and I love the variety, but doesn't fit as well.
I usually watch Dragon Ball Z with Kikuchi's score partly for that reason, but certain scenes don't have the same impact without Faulconer's score (such as Goku transforming into a Super Saiyan 3).
Kevin Manthei A.K.A the composer of Invader Zim blows my mind knowing the fact that he almost made every music of my childhood. He's made the Ultimate Spider-Man show and cartoons, Shrek 2: The Video Game, Johnny Test, Kung Fu Panda the Video Game, and Robot Chicken out of all things. This flew over my head as a child and I haven't noticed.
I appreciate how Ren and Stimpy uses some the most iconic classical music for simple background music.
It can't be understated how important some of the earlier TV animated soundtracks are, especially Hanna-Barbera. The Flintstones and Scooby-Doo for example, wouldn't be the same without the pieces you can hear in your head anytime you think of them!
The old HB Scooby Doo series has some crazy iconic tracks.
@@kylegonewild I love the old Scooby-Doo music.
The first show I went out of my way to look for the ost was Ok K.O. specifically when they fight against a blue round robot. It was genuinely amazing, I find the whole show to be an underrated masterpiece
I think Harvey Beaks has one of the most beautiful original scores for an animated series, with Ego Plum really capturing the show's sense of childlike wonder and expertly delivering on the emotional beats. The show's main motif will always live welcomely in my head.
Spider-Verse, ESPECIALLY Across the Spider-Verse has literally the best score I've ever heard in any movie ever. Daniel Pemberton was robbed of a nomination in 2023. The way he expertly blends genres, creates unconventional ways to create sounds like the prowler theme, and uses his music to actually tell the story, all while keeping egery sound feeling like the same score is nothing short of breathtaking
The fact that it does this all WHILE having a pop culture soundtrack, both originally crafted and having other pre-existing and well-known songs is nothing short of astounding
Fully agree on South Park. The movie’s entire soundtrack is incredible not even just the songs they sing I love the sound that plays when the boys arrive at starks pond but under the 6 day schedule of reusing sound it’s so annoying. Especially when they use the same dramatic music in a scene where Randy is complaining about his toilet and another where Stan is desperately trying to fix his relationship with Wendy clearly one is a lot more comedic then the other but the music makes it seem like they are the same level of seriousness.
Sure, it technically isn't a cartoon, but OH MY GOD, classic Thomas background themes are a bop. And no, not just the main theme.
2:01 I was actually standing up. Had to sit down for this one.
One of my favorite uses of music is, in a lot of magical girl anime, the transformation has it's own theme. Something that cuts into the villain's theme. Not a jingle like Power Rangers, or just the theme song, but a transformation-specific track. It really sells the idea of the heroes being in direct opposition to, and being the perfect counter of, the villain. Interrupting the villain's plans, and their evil deeds. The transformation really being that deciding factor.
The fact that Block 13 music isn't in this video is a crime.
Tyler went crazy for the grinch idfc
The Last Airbender has to be one of my favorites, every single song has such a specific feel and it always amplifies the scenes so well. I also love the little tunes and sound effects that play for certain scenes, like whenever Iroh does something stupid that little goofy version of the fire nation riff that plays, or the drum sound effect that plays after the more heavy hitting jokes.
And the actual quality of the music is just insane. It holds up as just amazing music to listen to.
Idk if anime counts but I swear OST from Puella Magi Madoka Magica is truly top tier stuff. Absolutely amazing stuff!
If y’all want underrated music in cartoons, y’all need to check out our Andre 3000s Cartoon Network show Class of 3000.
OutKast/Andre 3000 made an awesome soundtrack for this early 2000s cartoon, I feel like I’m the only one who remembers it 🤣
Wtf OutKast had a Cartoon Network show???
@@lardplowsmen2891 yes it was pretty good from what I remember, soundtrack wise. Unfortunately I was way to young to watch it when it first came out. I do recommend at least listening to songs like “Throw Down” and “Oh peanut”. Also as an Atlanta native it’s very cool to hear that 3000 mentions a lot about the geography/culture of Atlanta 😆
I showed a friend The Bob's Burgers Movie maybe a week ago, and I've had Sunny Side Up Summer and Lucky Ducks stuck in my head since.
20:44 this music means so much to your channel that after every horn I say “It’s mark!…it’s LS Mark”
Going to get this in, but Bob's Burgers has some of the best music on Television.
My favorites are the scores for Hey Arnold, Animaniacs, Teen Titans 2003, Invader Zim, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Early Fairly Oddparents, Ed Edd n Eddy, Wander Over Yonder and a segment from Kablam! called "The Off Beats" which is kind of a jazzy version of "Peanuts."
I think OK K.O. has an incredibly great soundtrack. The lead composer Jake Kaufman is actually an experienced music artist who’s done work for games like Shovel Knight and Shantae, and he really brings his style to the show.
The show has this rich and funky sound, and wears it’s musical identity on it’s sleeve. It has lots of callbacks and establishments of various musical leitmotifs and the full theme song goes absolutely hard. I recommend a listen even if you’re not a fan of the show.
The moment when I really appreciated the score was in Crossover Nexus, with it incorporating tunes from CN history like the "New, new, new!" jingle, the CN City theme, and the Cartoon Cartoons theme.
I liked how the owl house used an original piece for the score of the last two seasons as the character theme for two characters altering it slightly to fit the character being focused on and tone of the scene
I have almost every song from centaurworld in my playlist, I love the soundtrack so much
an ls mark music video that DIDNT get copyright striked? no way!
SpongeBob’s music is pretty good and very memorable at times.
4:20 "i love to sing a, about the moon a june a and the spring a, i love to sing a"
It’s not an American cartoon, but Fire Force has such an appealing soundtrack. Every hype moment is GREATLY amplified by the music, and it’s some of my favorite backround music ever!
I hate to be the token anime fan whenever any other media is being talked about. But when it comes to soundtracks, you can't not talk about anime. I'm not even talking about some of the most iconic parts - the openings and endings - I'm talking about the accompaniment. I remember My Hero Academia's soundtrack "You Say Run" became a meme because of how well it fits action sequences of all types. You also have shows like Cowboy Bebop with songs like Piano Black, Waltz for Zizi, Space Lion, Bad Dog No Biscuit, etc. being these masterfully written and performed pieces which both stand on their own and elevate the material they're put with.
While writing this comment I realised that there's less individual smaller pieces tailor made to a specific moment, but I also feel like I with full songs they can play the relevant sections to match the sequence they need it to.
Anime music kind of reminds me of video game music (such as Japanese rpgs) with assorted longer tracks to pick from but also there are times when you get a unique theme in a similar way to certain games will have unique music for major bosses/scenes or the trope of the main theme (or an arrangement of it) being used for a final battle being something that can apply to both video games AND anime.
not a dig at it, in fact i enjoy anime and game music very much
The show is sort of an acquired taste, but I really love the sort of soft techno-pop score of Bee and Puppycat. It really helps add to the show's surreal and calming atmosphere.
Man, I didn't even really like the Homer's mom episode, but I still remember that music at the end hitting me hard and feeling "special" compared to other episodes -- thank you for giving reason to my feelings and memory.
As someone who has started watching family guy since the day they added him to fortnite, i've grown very fond of it, its music especially. So here's some of my favorites in no particular order:
- You've Got a Lot To See
- Christmastime is Killing Us
- All I Really Want for Christmas
- Down's Syndrome Girl
- Road to Rhode Island
- Literally all of Sinatra's songs in Brian Sings and Swings and Tales of a Third Grade Nothing
- You and I are So Awfully Different
- It's a Wonderful Day for Pie
- Mr. Booze
Steven Universe’s songs are incredibly iconic, but its score is one of the best I’ve heard in any show. It’s such a cool mix of quiet, lofi, and upbeat chiptune-y sounds.
Cartoon music has literally touched me inside and out
Honestly the Phineas and Ferb and Futurama music is the music from cartoons I enjoy most, Futurama will often try and incorporate its main theme (which is so good) into bits of the show, and when it goes for the feels it always works, like the ending of the Sting the music is half the impact, or the devils hands are idle playthings, but tbh I notice these things way more in games, I will often end up humming halo songs or Sonic ones, but thats another discussion
Thank you for the shoutout Mark, I’m glad my video helped you in your research! 🫶 another banger as usual, great job
SpongeBob music has a special place in my heart
Spongebob Music is so iconic like Hawaiian Train, Secret Service, Workaday World, March of the Ants, House of Horror, Hawaiian Cocktail, Dramatic Cues (A-H), Dramatic Impacts (1-6), Dramatic Links (A-O), Undertow, Sixties Happy Times, Rescue, The Assignment, On The Beach, The Girl I Left Behind Me, Keel Row, Honolulu March and so on.
