"Songs In The Key of Cartoon," is a quick look into the history of some of the most beloved cartoon theme songs of the late 60s and early 70s.

It also serves as a tribute to the friends with whom I shared "the experience" of schoolyard sing-alongs. This one is for you, guys. Cheers and brotherly love to you.

Grab a big bowl of your favorite surgary cereal. It's cartoon time - let's go! Cheers!
