Another find from Happy Swing. Swing Circus is used in a sketch where Zorak and Space Ghost exchange Knock-Knock jokes. This sketch wasn't part of the 22 episode package, and thus is one of the harder to find ones. It can be seen here on Youtube.

EDIT: The Fred Forster Welcomes You version of Beautiful Dreamer is used in at least two outro segments from the original TBS run.

Here's a Youtube playlist containing all the tracks ripped from the CDs I've currently managed to acquire.

Great! Thanks, Felineki! And thanks for the acknowledgements to us in the description!

Yet another find from Fred Forster. Souvenir De Suisse is used in the "Penguin jokes," "What are little girls made of" and "We all scream for lima beans" sketches. This meme I made recently is proving to be more true with each passing day.

 

[Unclesporkums]

Thanks for finding more!

 

[felineki]

Managed to finally find the "Cooking With Brak" theme! It's "Theme for a Space Age Bachelor Pad," from the album of the same name by AirCraft Music Library.

 

[Unclesporkums]

Thanks! I was expecting you to find that one next!

"Curves Ahead" was used in the"Brak's New Year's Resolution" sketch

"Swanning Around" by Keith Papworth [DeWolfe] Was used in various commercials for the show.

 

[felineki]

Very nice find! Seems like they sped and pitched it up a bit when they used it.

Just made a random lucky find while browsing some albums from Music House, the label that On the River (one of the Cartoon planet Storybook themes) came from: "Genteel" on "The Piano Vol. 2" is used in a few poetry-related skits.

In yet another case of a track slipping under my radar despite being on an album we had already confirmed, "Old Scotch" on Koka's "Piano Bar" album is used in the "Aunt Martha" and "Where am I?" Poet's Corner segments.

Brak: "Wait a minute... I'm another Tom Jones: ♫ Not unusual to be loved by anyoᵒoᵒone... De-de de-de de. ♫ Heh."

Edit: "Moleskin Blues" was used in Brak's Pineapple rant.

"What's gonna happen to the world if I don't get my pineapple, 'cause if I don't get my pineapple then I don't get my Vitamin C, and if I don't get my Vitamin C, then I CAN'T WORK ANYMOOORE!! STUPID AGENT, YOU'RE FIRED!!"

 

[felineki]

The version of Brahm's Lullaby used for the Space Ghost talking in his sleep segments is from Firstcom's Kids' Songs album.

Turns out the tune used for Brak's "I don't like coffee" and "Hee Haw salutes Cartoon Planet" sketches was an instrumental of an arrangement of "Jimmy Crack Corn" on that same album.

 

[Unclesporkums]

Thanks for the finds!

 

[Unclesporkums]

I think this is the sped up version of Swanning Around

We have a new contributor to Cartoon Planet findings! EdMario274 left a comment on my Music From Cartoon Planet channel identifying the following songs:

Dylan's Theme from Firstcom's Focus on the 60's is the basis for Talkin' Extraterrestrial Homesick Blues Are A-Changin' (man that's a mouthful of a title!)
Barefoot in Baia from AirCraft's Space Age Bachelor Pad is used in Space Ghost's New Year's Resolutions.

 

[Unclesporkums]

Thanks to EdMario! I remembered the first one, but never got to submitting it. It showed up in the content ID of one of the videos before it was taken down.

"Old Fashioned" from Music House's Piano Vol. 2 is used for the Poet's Corner segment featuring Space Ghost's "Life" poem and Zorak's "Chubby Chubby Choo Choo" poem.

Edit: Random lucky find while looking through Parry Music Library albums, since SGC2C used some tracks from them: "Violin Serenade" on "Solos 2 - Brass & Strings" is the sad violin tune often used for Zorak's Nuggets of Joy.

Edit 2: Another random lucky find! "Sandmaennchen" on Sound Music Album's "Just Kiddin'" album is used for the opening featuring a sleepy live action Space Ghost.

Edit 3: The synth marimba arrangement of Three Blind Mice used when the trio liken themselves to the Three Stooges during the Sunday Drive skit is from Parry Music Library's "Playtime."

 

[Unclesporkums]

Thanks SO much for these!

 

[felineki]

"Angel Cakewalk" on Parry Music Library's Piano Solos 1 is used in Zorak's "Why do fools fall in love?" sketch.

'Cause they're hungry...?
'Cause they like baseball...?
My toe...?
You're my friend!
AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

"Honeydew" on the same album is used in the mailbag segment with a letter from Tom and Vinny in New Guinea (that rhymes!)

"Play it Again" was definitely used in some segment although I can't recall which off-hand.

 

[felineki]

Found the "Brak's Tales of Suspense" theme! It's "Tension Builder" from the Music House album "Drama 4 - Horror." This album isn't actually on any of the distributors' websites anymore. This sort of thing apparently happens occasionally, where certain albums become discontinued, often due to copyright issues.
