Download Cartoon Song [REPACK]
Raffi Bramlett
I've been having trouble remembering the name of a 2000s cartoon with BareNaked Ladies' "One Week" as the theme song. All I can remember about the show itself is that it was a sitcom about a family. I think it aired around the same time as "God, the Devil, and Bob". That's about all I can remember. Thanks!
The Cartoon Song is a contemporary Christian song by Chris Rice, written in 1989 as a tongue-in-cheek skit for a church youth group of middle school students. The song mentions many cartoon characters popular in the United States at that time.
The premise of the song describes what might happen if Christians succeeded in incorporating Christianity into cartoons. According to the song, cartoon characters would then sing their own versions of the word "Hallelujah". For example, Fred and Wilma Flintstone would sing "Yabba-dabba-lujah".
The song also mentions Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, Astro, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Kermit the Frog, Elmer Fudd, Yogi Bear, Rocky and Bullwinkle, (referred to as "that big old moose and his friend Rocky"), the Smurfs (referred to as "all those little blue guys"), and Beavis and Butt-head (referred to as Beavis and "that other guy").
Chris Rice wrote the song while in college, as a joke for students, but after much success, his former record label insisted that he record it for a CD. He reluctantly agreed, although only if it was a hidden track.[1]
This track has received a lot of criticism from the Christian community due to its theology, more evidence that Rice's satirical intentions went well over the heads of his fans. Chris Rice explains, "Also, in correcting my 'theology' in the cartoon song, people were totally missing the fact that the whole song is about soul-less cartoons, none of whom can 'get saved.'"[2][3]
This song has also led to a boycott by Bible Belt Conservatives and some fans of Chris Rice's music. According to Rice's website article, Rice's intention was to "bring attention to the silliness of the typical Christian over-reaction to Beavis and Butthead during their popularity. By calling Butthead 'the other guy' I was satirizing many who were 'offended' by that name. I was also trying to point out the snobbery of those who would limit Christianity to only a certain type of person. Many fans misinterpreted my satire of THEM as if I were making a statement of my own beliefs. You can see why I have no desire to perpetuate the life of this song."
Despite demand for the song, Rice stopped performing the song live in 2004, prompting Rice to write an article for his own official website entitled "Eulogy for a Song About Cartoons." In the article Rice explains that his misunderstood intention in writing the song/skit was to mock the commercial-Christian tendency to "make a Christian version of everything." Rice states, "I was hoping everyone would get the satire, but they missed the satire, and embraced the song as legit." This legitimizing of the song, evidence of his fans' misunderstanding of the purpose of the song/skit, frustrated Rice to the point of eliminating the song from his live performances, as well as refusal to discuss the song in interviews on the air. In 2004, Rice decided to stop playing the song at concerts. He has kept to his decision, despite popular demand for the song, and despite that Christian radio stations played the song frequently at the time.
Bronagh appears to take Saoirse to Tír na nÓg with her, but Ben and Conor plead to let Saoirse stay with them, because she's all they have. Since she is half-human, the choice rests with Saoirse, who elects to remain behind with her father and brother, even though it means giving up her selkie powers and becoming fully human, if Bronagh takes Saoirse's coat to untangle their worlds. Accepting her daughter's decision, Bronagh takes her coat. Conor tells Bronagh that he loves her so much, and they kiss. Ben asks Bronagh to stay as well, but she is unable to and tells him to remember her in his stories and songs and that she'll always love him, before kissing her son's forehead. After a tearful farewell, Ben and his family happily return home to their island, where Granny finally arrives, and Conor tells her he's now well enough to take care of the children.
The original music for the film was composed by Bruno Coulais, in collaboration with the Irish group Kíla. "The Derry Tune" originally featured on Kíla's 2010 album Soisín. The film also features the voice of Lisa Hannigan and songs by Nolwenn Leroy. A soundtrack album, consisting of 25 songs from the film, was released digitally on 9 December 2014 by Decca Records.[17]
"Cartoon Heroes" is a song by Danish-Norwegian dance-pop group Aqua from their second studio album, Aquarius. The song was sent to radio stations worldwide on 1 January 2000 and was released as a retail single on 31 January 2000. It was their first release anywhere for over 14 months due to the time spent touring the world, resting, and recording Aquarius.
Although a commercial success, "Cartoon Heroes" failed to follow the success of earlier songs such as "Barbie Girl" and "Doctor Jones". In Denmark, the song debuted at number one, selling enough copies to earn a quadruple-platinum sales certification within 48 hours of its release;[1] it went on to become the country's highest-selling single of 2000. It also topped the charts of Italy, Norway, and Spain and reached the top 10 in at least nine other countries, including Belgium, Ireland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
The music video for this song was filmed in December 1999. It starts with an American newscaster reporting on broadcast that a one-eyed sea monster attacks the world prompting an SOS call for Aqua in space. The quartet wakes up in zero gravity and Søren pushes up the gravity lever. They put on their hero suits and prepare to drive their spaceship to planet Earth where the sea monster is deep in the ocean. The quartet then puts on their diving suits and they fight the sea monster they seek. The green slime that bursts out of the sea monster's defeat transmits to the ending where the triumphant quartet returns to the ship with Søren and Claus who's had their leg and arm injured and the ship goes to the surface.

"On & On" is a song by Estonian trio Cartoon featuring Estonian singer and songwriter Daniel Levi, released through NoCopyrightSounds on July 9, 2015.[1] It is certified Silver in the United Kingdom and Gold in the United States.
Cartoon said, "The song was heard 5 million times before it became a little popular and we started playing it in Estonia and elsewhere," while member Maasikas said, "While we were traveling, friends started sending us videos of themselves singing this song from all over the place. We were quite giddy when our song crossed the 100 million mark".[2][3] NCS representative Peter Trinton also praised Cartoon's talent, saying, "In a country like Estonia, it's crazy how many talented people there are for such a small population. It's amazing!" He said.[2] Five years after the song's release, a documentary video of the cartoon hit was produced and posted on the NCS channel, and at the peak of its premiere, nearly 2.5 thousand fans worldwide watched it.[3]
The song received over 500 million views on NoCopyrightSounds' YouTube channel.[5] The song reached #1 on the Estonian airplay chart in its 39th week.[citation needed] The most popular NCS song, "On & On," received 90 million views in its first two years. Today, that number has grown to 502 million, making it one of the biggest hits on the NCS channel.[3] The song was found to have been used as background music in more than 4.8 million videos. Cartoon further claimed that in all these and other media combined, the song had been heard about 7.2 billion times, or nearly the entire population of the world.[3]
Of the dozens of catchy theme songs written for beloved '90s children's shows, one of the most timeless is the one for PBS' Arthur, titled "Believe in Yourself." Among the anthem's many stans is Season 23 Coach of The Voice, Chance the Rapper, who's performed it many times in concert. Time after time again, the Arthur theme gets his fans going.
Later in 2017, he teamed up with Ziggy and Jon Batiste to bring the iconic theme song to The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Chance released an official revamped cover of the track alongside The Social Experiment titled "Wonderful Everyday: Arthur" that fans can stream on Soundcloud.
Quick note on the criteria for this list... Obviously we couldn't include every cartoon ever, so we just stuck to animated ones, i.e not shows like The Teletubbies or Bear in the Big Blue House. We've also only included theme songs with lyrics (not purely instrumental themes like Recess) and songs which feature at the start of a cartoon, not songs from episodes like "Library Card" from Arthur. Enjoy!!
Sepi: Okay, it's not up there in terms of the greatest cartoon theme songs per se, but is it one I would sing at the top of my lungs when I was younger? Yes. So it's decent. Seven-year-old Sepi would approve. 6/10
Tori: I never realised there are more lyrics than just, "Flintstones, meet The Flintstones". And maybe this is of-the-time, but did they use the same vocalists as The Jetsons theme song? 3/10
Tori: As a child, I grew to HATE this show and this song because whenever I was sick and had to miss school (which was often) it was always on. I'll mosh extra aggressively to it now, but that's it. 2/10
Sam: Awww, this is super nostalgic for me! My youngest sister loved this show. I do love a theme tune that tells a story, and this song has a chill catchy sound to it, but it's far from my fav. A solid good-tier theme song. 7/10
