I just got done listening to the Talespin theme song and I didn't realize how awesome it truly was. Fact: The theme song was created by Robert Kraft who wrote the song, "Under The Sea" from the Little Mermaid who now heads Fox Music.

Spin It, My Friends, Just Spin It!
Did you all like the theme song?

Edit: Baloo in a dress. My eyes it burns!

Really? I thought it was Michael & Patty Silversher's work.


You bet! Who wouldn't!


He's doing cross-dressing in almost half of the episodes. Which shouln't surprise you, considering his personality and the fact he did wear stupid clothes in Jungle Book too

Michael & Patty wrote the lyrics for the opening theme song (and all of TaleSpin songs for that matter; although Monkey In Your Tank does include Chuck Tately on the list); Robert Kraft was the main producer of the song. I don't know who arranged or the finer details of the song; but those are the main three.

IMDB has me totally confused.

Here's a link to the full two and a half minute version just in case you didn't catch it elsewhere (I think the site has it in better quality however):

The Disney Afternoon shows have a high amount of annoyingly catchy theme songs. GET IT OUTTA MY HEAD, SOMEONE GET THE DUCKTALES THEME SONG OUTTA MY HEAD!!!


As for Baloo's crossdressing, it seems to be a trend with cartoon heroes (he must get pointers from Bugs Bunny), props to Baloo successfully using drag on a bunch of non anthropomorphic animals however.
