Throwbacks: Old Cartoons/Toys

Funny story about that theme song . . . my family and I were in Key West. We just finished dinner and my brother and I wanted dessert but we didn't like anything on the restaurant's menu. We decided we wanted ice cream instead and there was an ice cream store across the street and and a couple stores down from the restaurant.

On our way there we had to pass in front of a gay club. Blasting out of the doors and windows was a dance remix of the Speed Racer theme song!

I always suspected he was gay. Always hung with Sparky, never kissed Trixie.
 
Oh my GOD! Transformers!

Transformers,
More than meets the eye!

Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons.

Transformers,
Robots in diguise.
Tranformers,
More than meets the eye.

Tranformers!
 
Jem theme song...let's sing along...

Jem! Jem is excitement! Oooh Jem
Jem is adventure! Oooh
Glamour and glitter, fashion and fame!

Jem! Jem is truly outrageous
Truly, truly, truly outrageous!
Whoa, Jem! (Jem),
The music's contagious (outrageous)
Jem is my name!
No one else is the same!
Jem is my name!

But we're the Misfits,
Our songs are better,
We are the Misfits, the Misfits
And we're gonna get her!

The music's contagious (outrageous)
Jem is my name!
No one else is the same!
Jem is my name!
 
Fun Game: Which designers would design costumes for Jem & the Holograms and the Misfits?


I always saw the Misfits in Dolce & Gabbanna or Versace.

I'm not really sure for Jem and the Holograms . . . maybe Gucci or Chanel.

Maybe.... just maybe...there might be 2 other people here that remember "felix the cat" cartoons. the only reason I remember is a bunch of us were playing this game at the beach last summer and we could all picture him but just couldn't get the name - till 2 days later.
*warbles*
Felix the Cat,
The wonderful, wonderful Cat,
Whenever he gets in a mix,
He reaches into his bag of tricks!!!

That's all I can remember.

I hvae to give you ladies MAJOR props for posting those lyrics. Boy that took me back. Especially the lyrics from Zoobilee Zoo. :girlsigh:
 
I also remember My Pet Monster.

We used to watch the cartoon and we had the plush doll with the orange break apart handcuffs.
Me too!!! :roflmfao: NO one else I know ever had one of those things. Mine is still at the top of my closet. Along with my Gizmo toy, my smurfs, my popples, one of those turtles that you could lock and use as a jewelry box, and my cabbage patch dolls.
