Boop-Oop-A-Dooin’: The Songs of Sammy Timberg

As I was routing around the blog I noticed we’d had a few substantial mentions of early cartoon composer Sammy Timberg by Dave Kirwan and Anne D. Bernstein. It’s pretty hard to find his family’s excellent 2004 recreation CD from his original arrangements for songs from Fleischer Studios’ Betty Boop, Superman, Popeye and others. So, I’m posting {lower resolution than perfect} files of the CD until it becomes readily available again. Like a lot of you, I love cartoon music from back in the day, so enjoy.–Fred

If you’re a fan of Doug TenNapel’s films or videogames, you’re probably also a huge fan of the fabulous composer Terry Scott Taylor, even if you’re not aware of it. I sure am, and since Frederator Studios is trying to make the movie version of Doug’s famous videogame The Neverhood, I thought I share what a great time I’m having with Terry’s songs and music from the game, Terry S. Taylor’s Imaginarium: Songs from The Neverhood (on Dreamworks/Stunt Music).

You’ll have to buy the two-disc set to get all the songs and demos in full quality (and a whole bonus disc of Skullmonkeys music) and the great liner notes story by Terry. Loving classic cartoon music (and though there’s nothing whatsoever old fashioned about this soundtrack, it’s obvious so do Terry and Doug) I can never get enough of this soundtrack (and remember, this was for a game).

Play on shuffle. Have a great day.
