Gerald McBoing Boing Music

After a long time trying to locate this stuff online I finally have this particular search marked off my Lifetime To-Do List.

First, I located World of Gerald McBoing Boing Theme Song at least a year ago and for a long time it was the only version I could find online. I knew I had heard a jazzier version of it somewhere in my LP collection at least 30 years ago but I couldn’t remember the title or even the artist.

Then just this week, on Spotify, I found The Chico Hamilton Quintet- The Morning After and fortunately YouTube has a copy.

Mystery solved! I just thought there might be a few old-timers who would rejoice along with me over this blast from the past.

Never heard of Gerald McBoingBoing until now, and I tip my hat to you for mentioning it. I loved it, and was particularly amused by the pocket xylophone* to refer to a certain radio network that shall remain nameless. :slight_smile:

*Is that a xylophone in your pocket or are you happy to see me? Both! :wink:

Glad you like(d) it! Thanks for keeping this from being another of my “0 Replies” threads. :smiley:

The cartoon goes way back and probably got a lot of play on early TV. Therefore, I’m not real clear on when it first came to my attention. The music has bugged me most of my life, though.

Thank you. I loved that show when I was a kid. Not as much as Winky Dink and You but it was up there.

I’m rejoicing. Thanks. :slight_smile:

Yep. That was cool with the plastic thing you put on the TV screen so you could color stuff. Blue sky section, green lower part (grass, probably) and a tan or neutral middle. It was cool to see Barry again on 21.

Fun stuff!
