Review by P. Freako
Cute? Cool? Trendy? Ya. Oh well. This is still
worth listening to on those weekend mornings after an extra late night.
A plethora of 'toons to please your pop appetite. You get a
bit of everything in this album, from the poetically innocent
version of "Let the Sun Shine In" (Pebbles sang it on
The Flinstones) performed by Frente!, to face to face's
punkified "Popeye The Sailor Man." It's fun to listen
to in small doses. Throw in the Ramones doing "SpiderMan"
and the Reverend Horton Heat displaying his awesome punkabilly
guitar talents on "Jonny Quest/Stop That Pigeon" and
you get the picture. Other notables include Helmet's "Gigantor,"
the Butthole Surfers' "Underdog" and Liz Phair's
"The Tra La La Song (One Banana, Two Banana)." But if
we're talking Saturday mornings, here, then how the hell did they
miss "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour"?! I mean what
about "Road Runner, The Coyote's After You"? It's a
classic! You won't find it on this album -- they're probably
saving it for one of those ever popular sequels. Bastards!!
All the same, this is a goofy album, so treat it as such:
listen to it and laugh --
you'll enjoy it. If you don't I'm going to have Hong Kong Phooey
come over and kick your bony little ass!
