here i am, posting on ukb and listening to a few cartoons' songs straight form the 80's: daitarn III, grand prix, gundam, lupin III, geeg, fantaman and so on.
i find those songs soooo coool: fast, pounding disco bass lines, great lyrics, were they like this in the uk version as well?
am i the only one?

so great. so young. so long ago.

We had Dogtanian.........

.....and other such classics (not sure if that will work as I've no sound - for your sake I hope it doesn't).

Off the top of my head I can't remember anything with a tune I'd call passable to listen to now though..........except maybe Duck Tales.

I always thought Reach for the Sky by S Club 7 sounds like the Duck Tales theme.

The only Cartoons songs I can think of from the 80s were those cunts with the stupid hair.

Only in the 80s.

It does although Duck Tales is a far superior tune.

There were some class 80s tunes, mainly for Space related cartoons.
I'm sure I saw a compilation of tracks on YouTube- I'll look tonight.

Battle Of The Planets.

That was class, but there's more. Real cheese.
Princess was quite fit too

Defenders of The Earth. Defenders.

Out of the sky, his rockets ignite, jets into battle flying faster than light. Flash Gordon.
Lord of the Jungle, the hero who stalks the beast call him brother. The ghost who walks. Phantom.
Defenders of The Earth.

Master of magic spells and illusion. Enemies crumble in fear and confusion. Mandrake.
Defenders of The Earth.

His strength is a legend, his skill conquers all. On with his power we never will fall. Lothar.
Defenders of the Earth.

With our new young heroes proving their worth, four become eight, defending the Earth
Defenders of The Earth. Defenders. Defenders of The Earth.

Ulysses was ace. Chase that black sphere! Title song went on for ever too.

GCW · April 16, 2008, 07:58:39 pm

Pure awesome cheesiness.

Hey, Jas: Nice to see Princess hasn't lost it

Jaspersharpe · April 17, 2008, 09:54:34 am

That's the good thing about cartoon characters. Princess will always be fit while Daisy Duke...........

Arghhh, avert your eyes. Jas, you are an evil man

spoiling the old memories.

Nibile · April 17, 2008, 10:07:07 am

where on the net can i put the tunes for you to sample what we were listening to as children?

GCW · April 17, 2008, 10:08:11 am

Stick them on a downlaod site like Megaupload. Put them all together in a Zip file.
Are they no YouTube vids available Nibs?

This was the original. But as you say, the image is forever sullied now.

magpie · April 17, 2008, 10:58:28 am

Not for me, I can't see anything except an empty box shape?

Poddington Peas!! Down at the bottom of the garden, among the birds and the bees, a little lot of little people, they call the Poddington Peas!!

I love Gummi Bears and The Littles, they were both on early on a Sunday morning

I should retire from this thread before I get any more over excited
