As a Furry and scifi otaku I watched a lot of cartoons in my time. They have some good theme songs. Here are some of my favorites.


The Mighty Hercules


The King Kong Show (great theme, mediocre show)


Star Blazers Season 1 (each season had different lyrics)


SATAM Sonic the Hedgehog (I donated a lot of fanfic of this one to the Memory of Mankind)


Sonic Underground


1963 Astroboy (anime before anime...even before Japanimation)


Beany and Cecil (Einstein was a fan back when they were puppets. Larry Niven had Pierson name the Puppeteers after Cecil)


The Alvin Show (this was my favorite when I was a kid...loved Simon)

After careful deliberation, I have decided that Simon & Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence" is actually about nuclear war. A cursory Google-ing of the subject reveals at least (and perhaps, at most) one other person agrees with this analysis.

https://religion101soundofsilenceblog.wordpress.com/2015/03/06/apocalyptic-attitude-simon-and-garfunkels-hidden-message-of-the-end/

I'm not sure if this belongs in the 'good music' thread or the 'human stupidity' thread because each and every analysis apart from the one linked above draw conclusions that are inherently vain (it's about depression, it's about the Vietnam War, it's about ME).

The flash of the neon light is the nuclear war being observed by the narrator. We simultaneously worship the "neon gods" i.e. nuclear power, with said worship only growing stronger in reverence since the song was originally written in 1964.

As the worship worsens and the signs of the prophet on subway walls & tenement halls goes unheeded (the end is nigh), the sound of silence begins to crescendo as global awareness regarding the potential of nuclear war declines. Ultimately the finale is the unleashing of our new Gods upon the entirety (or near-entirety) of the populace.
Quote
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

They are all dead, though with skulls intact (for those not completely incinerated), the talking without speaking and hearing without listening make perfect sense, since the skeletons are indeed stuck in whatever positions they were last active, "talking" or "hearing" but nevertheless removed of the capacity for speaking and listening. And how could the voices share the songs on the parchment when the voices are now gone?

I think it is very bothersome, but also telling, that the actual meaning of the song is almost entirely lost on the entirety of everyone.

IIRC that interpretation was widespread, at least among the anti-war hippy communities that sprang from nowhere at ~ that time.
A very powerful anti war message that resonated.

In 1985 I was a very impressionable teenager when I saw this movie. Beautiful movie and inspiring to such an extent that I was thinking about going there to save the Amazon and live with the indigenous peoples.

Or that whole phase of his career.  ;D

I love this story of the very early Alice Cooper band:

Shep then arranged an audition for the band with composer and renowned record producer Frank Zappa, who was looking to sign bizarre music acts to his new record label, Straight Records.[16] For the audition Zappa told them to come to his house "at 7 o'clock." The band mistakenly assumed he meant 7 o'clock in the morning. Being woken up by a band willing to play that particular brand of psychedelic rock at seven in the morning impressed Zappa enough for him to sign them to a three-album deal.  8)
