Don’t forget “Love Gravy.”

Phineas and Ferb had some pretty fun songs. I always liked [Gitchee Gitchee Goo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0PpsQ3wcUc), the [Ducky Momo](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdSgclQOWnQ) theme song, and [Little Brothers](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSSsmDxEGKs). And who could forget the immortal [Squirrels in my Pants](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaFdUkf8Hik) and [Welcome to Tokyo](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEBfRMKnyXg)?

Not entirely original. It was a reworking of his song “[Girlfriend](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCcMuVqg1FY)”.

Quite a few catchy tunes came out of the three series of _Uncle_.

Matt Berry can usually be counted on for both catchy and comedic songs as well (_Snuff Box_ and _Toast_ usually had good songs. His album _Opium_ realises a number of the themes and motifs that pop up across _Snuff Box_).
