Lou Bega

Not to be outdone, but I turned on back three working days the week instead of four. The last weeks do exhausted me by the Holidays craze and that I started to ruin my own Thursdays by be my perfect off-day.

But now, here's the topic:

Back a quarter-century back, singer-composer Lou Bega made a big hit with his 1999s summer song Mambo No. 5, which it's describe today as-is: A perfect vacation song that is great only for one short summer. In 2004, he was the performer and singer for the TV series' theme song. Randy Petersen, Kevin Quinn and Tim Heintz were the musicians and have wrote the lyrics. It's by there I spotted the first time when things "Goes bananas!" by summarize the craziness of the characters traits.

If only it was crazy in the good sense, I mean in the irreverent Looney Tunes/Tex Avery way. Instead, it's just typical of the countless animated productions we have all saw by the Spongebob Squarepants fad. It's not the most worst animated show ever and I am one, to be rather guilty to become obsessed to something I had never actually watched from my own Dish. Choosing a performer that make a one-hit wonder 5 years back was rather a strange opportunity, proving that the creations of Russel Marcus was made for a very conservative audience who have no proper knowledge of how animated works have to be actually made. It's more Garfield than anything. And my own statements that it's kinda "bring the odd '40s Screen Gems cartoons back to life" did explain why they never succeed to make it a profitable licencing property, like most of the Disney Channel TV shows.

Sorry Lou Bega. But if there is one place in which Brandy & Mr. Whiskers became more pedestrian than the cartoon itself is the theme song you performed. We never know what have happened to him since the series was cancelled two years later. In this age where songs and music remains more amateurish, ugly and crude with its usual noisy synth music touchs (Like some Toys R Us music toys who make tons of loud and creepy noise) and that raspy and monotonous vocals leads the whole industry, maybe this theme song weren't as awful as it says so, back it all beginning.

And when the presentation title and ad promos are better than the actual meat of the show, it's never either a good thing. I have to pay for my own naivety from the days I looking it only from its main official Disney Channel webpage.
