    YouTube?! Surely you mean Flash! This came from the creator Weebl who had a ton of great Flash animations on his website. Actually I can’t believe it, but the website is still up in 2024!

    Here’s the badgers one specifically: http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/badgers-animated-music-video-mrweebl/

      I remember watching this pre-youtube as well, but it was in ebaumsworld.com
      It looked very different back in the day.
      Another classic song is the llama song. I remember a friend showing that to me in '04.

        I’m not sure if I’ve seen that one, I’ll have to check it out, thanks!

        Is it this one? http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/alpaca-animated-music-video-mrweebl/

        Or maybe you were referring to the Llamas In Hats series? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBE8C175E9FAAA34A

        I was always partial to the Amazing Horse one for some reason. http://weebls-stuff.com/toons/amazing-horse-animated-music-video-mrweebl/

        I used to listen to it for hours and a weird quirk of Flash animations was that often the audio track and the video were milliseconds off so over time it would get very out of sync.

          Speak for yourself. I, for one, do not miss needing to suffer through intro animations before the real site would load, “designed for Internet Explorer 4”, or the endless ad popups of the era.

          Points for nostalgia though

          Adobe jumbled them up after acquiring Macromedia, which itself had previously acquired both (shockwave from Macromind, flash from Futurewave).

            I have a soft spot for music from tv show intros from the 70s and early 80s. The compositions and memorable melodies were something else.

            I think maybe it was a legacy from the 70s movie soundtracks, where Ennio Morricone really showed how important soundtracks were to movies, but then TV shows had to do it in 30 seconds. I love the craftsmanship of it.

            Some of my favorites:

            Benson

            Taxi

            Soap

            Airwolf

            Dallas

              Airwolf’s opening I’ve seen before; and the Dallas one is pretty great. Here are a couple I’ll throw in to the mix:

              Rupert note the interesting time signatures

              Gormenghast the first and second books are excellent. The third is… different…

              The Prisoner possibly the greatest (and surely the longest!) opening

                “The prisoner” is quite wild from a music perspective and way ahead of it’s time. Looks more like a 60s/70s series. Never saw it myself.

                I guess it’s not so decade dependent, but more about someone caring enough to make a good intro song.

                Here are more TV themes that you didn’t know you already knew:

                Hill Street Blues

                Round the Twist (this is the Epitome of early 1990s)
