Flashbacks and Memories

Who remembers these guys:

Woohooo!!!  I came across this theme song on YouTube this morning.  I used to LOVE Animaniacs!  What a great cartoon.  Constant silliness, weirdness, and just about anything you can think of under the sun that completely doesn’t make any sense.  Since I’m at work all day now, I don’t know for sure that a niche channel runs this show, but I’d be willing to find out.  I do know that seasons 1-3 are out on DVD.  There are some interesting similarities with this theme song and the Garfield theme song I wrote about earlier:

1. Both explain who the characters are in the show and what the show is about (as opposed to a generic song with visuals).

2. Both show examples of incredibly looney, absurd, borderline obnoxious situations.

3. The main characters in both shows are animals who sing the actual theme song.

4. Somehow in each show, there is always a segment with secondary characters.  Animaniacs - Pinky and the Brain.  Garfield - Orsen and Friends.  All of these characters are featured in the theme song.  

You get the idea…

So, similar shows from a similar era, that put me in a similar state of nostalgia.

Animanics also makes me think of one friend with the initials “KK” who I know really loves this show and all that it stands for.  This one’s for you!
