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

This song is now available on the following CDs:

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
