Being a cartoon lover of such cartoons as ren and stimpy, count duckula, spongebob, and the like, i have always heard certain musical pieces in the background that i knew as familiar, yet i couldn't identify. Now, i'm a musician myself (played guitar for 11 years) who has always wanted to write music for cartoons and tv. I have searched high and low for these musical pieces wondering what they were. Finally, i figured out they were production music - pieces produced by a company called KPM. They are commonly used in the background of many cartoons we know. This s**t rocks! Here are some pieces from kpm you may recognize-
"hit and run" - a fast, jazzy number used during chase sequences. Very commonly used in Ren and Stimpy.
"valse moderne" - A very parisian sounding waltz used often in the background of cartoons portraying france.
"spindlelegs" - A happy, innocent piece.
"turkey trot" - very similar to "spindlelegs" and used during similar sequences.
"saw theme" - A very eerie and creepy tune used during sci-fi and paranormal scenes. Should be recognizable to Ren and Stmpy and Count Duckula fans.
These are just a few of the great ones. Take a peak on to their site to find more. If you watch ren and stmpy, count duckula, or spongebob, you are sure to recognize a few.
