Jonny Quest Theme Song...

[raiderrescuer]

Is it my imagination or did the Jonny Quest Cartoon rip off Count Basie's Jumpin' at the Woodside for their theme song ?

btw just picked up at Wally World a CD called "Big Band Boogie" for $5.88 and it contains original artist and the Count Basie song is on it.

Not Johnny Quest . . .

I don't think Jonny Quest used "Jumpin' at the Woodside", but I believe it WAS the theme song of Gene, Gene, the Dancing Machine on The Gong Show . . .

Jonny Quest...

I suppose I should add I'm referring to the 1960's Quest not the 90's.

Different songs . . .

The music for The Adventures of Jonny Quest (1964-1965, 26 episodes) was written by Hoyt Curtin, along with William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, for the TV series.

Hadji, a guy with a Muslim name flying all over the place in a deadly jet plane. Gosh


I don't remember the theme song. Am more of a "Thunderbirds" man myself. Puppets are multi dimensional.

FAB!

Thunderbirds! I love that show. Besides the creatively designed rockets and other vehicles, where else can you see puppets smoke and drink? lol
