Reminders of your childhood

Have always loved this cat mural on Botany Rd at Alexandria.

Simple but the theme song is still so recognisable even in 2021

 

[horrie hastings]

Another favourite cartoon opening/ theme song.

Man, it's been a LONG time since I last heard that Cattanooga Cats theme song. Thanks for posting it Horrie!

Its funny, it is one of the few cartoons which i haven't seen repeated since i used to watch it back around 1969 /1970.

It’s got pretty wild honky tonk piano in it.

Its a masterpiece as is jetsons.

Flintstones is another big swing sound.

Flintstones is another big swing sound.

Season 1&2 of The Flinstones had the Rise and Shine theme then season 3 onwards had Meet the Flinstones.

 

[horrie hastings]

Even though season 3-6 kept the same theme song there were differences in opening credits, ie some only had Fred Wilma Pebbles, Dino and Baby Puss then later on in later seasons they pick up the Rubbles on the way to the drive in. Other subtle differences Fred clocking out from the boulder pit disappeard after the Rubbles came into the credits and also one time there is a shot of Fred picking up Pebbles when he come home from work which didn't last long.

This one has Fred picking up Pebbles , its in the second part of the video.

Apols for redirecting the thread with a completely different theme...

But in undertaking home renovations at the moments, made me remember seeing this stuff as a kid in every house... but rarely see if any more... in fact I can’t remember the last time I saw it...

Wallpaper..

Very 70’s style this, inc the carpet. Reminds me of the first house I lived in at Engadine..

Note the push down ash tray on the right and also the lava lamp on the left, although lava lamps are trendy again they are very cheap looking compared to the ones from the 60s/ 70s/ 80s.

Trying to work out all the cartoon cats in this mural

I can work out Felix, Garfield, Scratchy[ from Itchy & Scratchy ], Top Cat, The Pink Panther, Courageous Cat, Tom[ of Tom and Jerry ] and Sylvester. Cant work out the other three.

The blue and white one next to the Pink Panther looks like Benny the Ball from Top Cat.

That is beautiful art work IMO.

I also think the one down the front next to Tom is Heathcliff
