I have plenty of favorite 'grown-up' songs, but somehow I feel more inclined to record these fugitive childhood experiences (well, not Star vs. The Forces of Evil; that was only a few years ago). I always liked that groovy cover of Trust in Me (sorry about the My Little Pony accompanying animation). I must confess that I never as a child understood the first words of The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show theme song ('Overture, curtains, lights!'); I just babbled some nonsense that scanned. That animated Jax Beer sign (or one like it) inhabited our local bar/restaurant/convenience store/hang-out, Shadow's; we would watch for the mermaid to come around while Pop bought stuff. We had all those pull-string toys (but not the Oz hand puppet; I saw - and heard-  that when a girl brought it to school to show off). 'I know some good games we could play!'

Updates:

Here Comes the Grump (1969) - Intro - YouTube

HERE COMES THE GRUMP - Official Trailer - YouTube

More cartoon show theme songs from the Groovy Ages, and a trailer from a computer animated movie made in 2019 in Austrailia adapted from Here Comes the Grump. It appears to be quite rightly obscure, though I'm sure coming out in the Plague Year didn't help.
