Ruegger Remembers

For your nostalgic viewing, Tom Ruegger over at Cartoonatics has been posting photos of people who helped make the above-mentioned animated TV shows, but whose names usually shot by on the credits at light speed. Another entry here.
L.to R.: Tom Ruegger, Richard Stone, Julie and Steve Bernstein being happy.

Hi John;

Love the photo! Those good folks contributed MUCH to the musical soul of those shows, as well as Pinky and the Brain.

I watched a Behind the Scenes show last night...actually, two. One was about the music for the show, where Richard Stone's name was prominent, along with Randy Rogel (Yakko's World). One of my fave songs, in a LOOOOONG list of enduring classics, is Babba Bo Bob Brain.

I am a lab mouse.
I escaped from my cage.
Never had me a job
Never earned minimum wage.
But you will respect me, (YES!)
as my plan is unfurled.
You will call me your leader.
I'll be king of the world.


Just for fun, and, inspired by the last four words of that lyric, I came up with something...

Well I'm not a lab mouse,
Never lived in a cage.
I got me a job but won't
take minimum wage.
And people adore me (yeah!)
as each movie's unfurled.
They call me SIR James Cameron,
'Cause I'm KING OF THE WORLD!

Very nice.

Certainly James Cameron would agree with you.

Those three composers, along with Tim Kelly and others, helped make the shows what they were.

Alas, no more 40 piece orchestras.
