<p>Carl Stalling is a genius.&nbsp; A true genius.</p><p>Not only did he have to write/conduct all the music for the old Warner Bros cartoons but,&nbsp;also many many (almost all!) of the sound effects in those cartoons were performed LIVE by the orchestra.&nbsp; Everything from hammers banging to the &quot;plink plink plink&quot; of Bugs walking on his tip toes.&nbsp; It was almost all made organically from the band, perfectly synched to picture. Amazing.</p>

<p>The Fairly Odd Parents song rules.</p><p>So does the Ninja Turtles song, even though now the lyrics are so cheesy I have to laugh/cringe at it.</p>

[Jennitalia]

<p>The Flintstones had some great tunes.&nbsp; The Way-Outs were my favorite.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img height="264" src="http://www.vegalleries.com/hbltd/Wayouts.jpg" width="345" border="0" /></p>

[feralBoy]

<p>My favorite one was always, &quot;scaredy cat&quot; with porky pig and sylvester the cat.&nbsp; When they go to the mansion, and the mice keep trying to kill them, and only sylvester realizes it.&nbsp; They play very small pieces from the funeral march portion of chopin's piano sonato no. 2.&nbsp; That's pretty cool.&nbsp; </p><p>Of course porky pig singing &quot;kill the wabbit&quot;, is pretty awesome too.</p>

<p>ANother favorite was The Cat Concerto, the Tom and Jerry episode when Tom was playing the piano at a concert and Jerry was inside trying to avoid the piano keys.</p><p>I can still hear the song in my head, but I'm not sure if it was an actual piece of classical music.</p><p>It might as well be, because all the classical music I've learned started with cartoons.</p>

I have a song by Sylvester the Cat and back-up singers. It starts in my brain ever so often and then goes around and around while I try to remember the missing lyrics. Does anyone know them? This song would be from the late 40s or early 50s. And it goes like this:

Back-up Singers:
Scaredy cat, scaredy cat.
Sylvester is a scaredy cat.
He used to be so bold and fine.
A jellyfish has got more spine.
Some lyrics by Sylvester here.
Why that's absurd; it's quite ridiculous.
You must be kidding; you're trying to tickle us.
You surely must be poking fun.
All cats have nine lives not just one.
Sylvester:
I had nine lives while learning to skate,
I fell on my head then there were eight.
More missing lyrics
Three lifes left. What a pitiful few.
Crossed the street without looking then there were two.
Two lifes left when I fooled with a gun.
Didn't think it was loaded, now I have one.
More missing lyrics
Back-up Singers:
From now on Sylvester is taking it slow
Cause he only has one life to go.

Can you fill in the blanks?
