Right. I thought this was the theme to Popeye and Son, but Youtube says otherwise. I distinctly remember a cartoon having these lyrics, but which one? I remember it being sort of a homage to The Beach Boys' Surfin' USA.

Quote:
"bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla bla with the boys!
Bop bop, bop bop sha-wooey!
Bla bla bla bla bla bla
We'll be makin' some noise!
Bop bop, bop bop sha-wooey!
it's a rad, rad, rad, rad, rad, rad feeling alright.
Bop bop, bop bop sha-wooey!
it's a rad, rad, rad, rad, rad, rad feeling alright.
Bop bop, bop bop sha-wooey!"


One of you must know!

Look it can't be that difficult, how many songs have the line 'it's a rad, rad, rad, rad, rad, rad feeling alright' ? Not many I'd wager!

you know james harvey, when i search for these lyrics, all i really find is this thread.

this song is apparently more underground than the mohorovicic discontinuity.

maybe your quote is slightly off?

If you know the melody of the song fairly well, this site might help you figure out the title.

Animated. Although, I just realised I'm thinking of Popeye & Son again with the kid with the tall hair. Maybe there were two theme tunes to Popeye & Son?

Popeye and Son - A New Generation, circa 1987. It was the ending song, not the theme song.
