“The Dan Danger Show” soundtracks

February 9th, 2009

I was looking through some CDs at my office the other day and ran into these great Ron Jones scores from “The Dan Danger Show” (A Lighter Side of Danger and Danger 101) the Oh Yeah! Cartoons shorts created by Butch Hartman & Steve Marmel in 1999. I’ll do a more comprehensive post on Ron later, but suffice it to say he’s every geek’s dream composer, not only scoring The FOP theme (with Butch), “Star Trek: The Next Generation” but also “Family Guy” and “American Dad.”

(Friends of Frederator will remember that Oh Yeah! not only made 51 original character shorts, but certain cartoons [like DD, “ChalkZone,” “The Fairly Oddparents,” and several others] had a number of sequel shorts.)

Cartoon music freaks like me (and Jerry Beck) don’t get a chance to hear too many scores (heck, even feature film scores are rarely released) so I thought I’d let you in on them in their entirety. I can’t help but start laughing when I hear them, and they just remind me what a great show Butch and Steve made. Thanks Ron!
