Title
The Hanna Barbera Polka
Every show mentioned in this song is a real Hanna Barbera cartoon.
Seriously. I can't make this stuff up. But apparently William and Joe
did, which is why we were inundated with decades worth of
anthropomorphic celebrity rip-off animals, cave people, future people,
groovy kids, talking vehicles, freaky super-heroes, and sit-com
tie-ins, all walking through buildings and passing the same window over
and over again while solving mysteries and playing in rock bands
together. So here's an up tempo Oom-"Paw-Paw" of a polka to celebrate
the company that created the shows "Capitol Critters", "Fish Police",
and the unforgettable "Rick Moranis in Gravedale High". All of which I
watched. Regularly. Willingly.
Arrangement by: The Spooky Fisherman's Ghost, who after removing his
mask is actually TOM SMITH!!!
Indirect inspiration: ShoEboX from
the Worm Quartet which sounds like a Hanna Barbera show but
isn't.
Person whose head will likely explode upon hearing this song: TV's Kyle

Commence the "but but but..." whining about our favorites that you missed. Where is my Winsome Witch? Where is Jeannie and Babu! I can understand if you saved the Drak Pack to mock in the Filmation one as a ripoff of the Groovy Goolies. Just don't you dare miss Sport Billy in that one. Anyway, this song is a Laff-A-Lympics!

Awesome song! I bet you forgot or didn't know that Tom & Jerry were also from Hanna & Barbera.

Fiest, glad to be here...the 'unforgettable" shows mentioned to too recent to be unforgettable...I'd go for a string section of Huck, Yogi, Fred Flintstone, and Top Cat and his gang, and drums played by Doggie Daddy and Augie Doggie.

Snk-snk-snk-snk... er, Kchee-tchee-tchee... uh, Skteechhh-eeectch-eeeth... aw man, how the hell DO you type a Mutley laugh? I now defer to my favorite comic-book soundword: FUMP! (and a damn good one too)
Luke Ski is the pop-culture dementia master.

YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I should text you unnecessary information about random things more often! This is fun and I take complete credit for it!

Drat you, Balder! I'd managed to block Jeannie and Babu from my overwrought mind! And I would've got away with it, too, if not for you -- ahem.

Great timing for the "Jane, stop this crazy thing!" line!!

Well done, sir...Luke Ski's Next Cartoon Hit.
DreamDancer82 - Nov 29, 2009
The Impossibles were mentioned?! I am completely SHOCKED! Mostly because those guys get like no credit anymore. I appreciate it. Thanks!

Like TV's Kyle, I'm also an animation fanatic (I've been writing for an animation site and a blog on cartoon voice actors for 10 years), so this was a head-exploder for me as well. Thanks, Luke. Loved the El-kaBONG pun too. And even as a nitpicker I couldn't find any animation history errors, and that is commendable.
