That theme sticks with me all these decades later - so deep, so rich - I love it!!!!! I agree with all of you: cartoons today are nothing more than a vehicle to market imported crap. What happened?????
i'm practicly 15, and i miss this show! i have 2 volumes of Underdog and still dont have enough! i wish Underdog would come back. they played him on Boomerang years ago. that's how i first saw and heard about Underdog. i know this is a long shot, but when i'm older, I WILL bring Underdog back on tv!
Who between the ages of like 45-55 doesen't remember this..and all the lyrics! I'm 49 & I feel like I'm kid again! This meant one thing...Simon Barsinister or Riff Raff were in for a butt-whoopin. I loved Underdog!
I really feel sorry for kids of today, they have to grow up with terrible cartoons, compared to what we grew up with in the 60s & 70s. Back then the cartoons were actually funny, and the now-simplistic-looking animation was cutting edge for TV.
Nowadays, the studios in the U.S. make flat, simplistic, crappy cartoons because they want to save a buck on costs. And they have no idea how to be funny, so they settle for stupid and crass, instead.
@ReneandMae I'm sorry, but I'm tried of seeing comments like these whenever I want to see vintage stuff like 80s video games or 60s shows. I thought we view this stuff so we can ENJOY ourselves, not to depress us further.
If you want to do something about it, make your own cartoon. Just enjoy the memories.
@Davtwan If reading a comment from someone can depress you so easily, here's a bit of advice: "Don't read the comments!" I personally don't let some simple comment on an online blog bother me one way or the other.
@Davtwan When I watched this clip for fun, the nostalgic feeling I felt also made me feel sad that today's kids' cartoons are not as entertaining as these old programs from the past are. On the flip side, the animated movies that come out today offer far more variety and entertainment for kids and families than getting just one Disney cartoon every 2 or 3 years, so there are trade-offs.
@ReneandMae - It's worse than that.There is the added, depressing aspect that today's cartoons are aimed at making kids into politically correct, tree-hugging "citizens of the world."
@65kowalski - Boy, isn't that the truth? I loved being able to watch cartoons without any message shoved in our faces about how to act or what to think or believe. We actually got that stuff back then from our parents! Imagine that! Cartoons were just for entertainment, for having fun; just you, your siblings, and bowls of cold cereal, and we were happy like that.
wow ! this was one of my favorite cartoons... haven't heard that song since childhood and I recognized it as soon as it started, lolololo... thanks :)
Yesterday morning I saw the entire Underdog series on DVD in - believe it or not - the gift shop of a local Cracker Barrel restaurant. $20 for the entire series, I'm pretty sure. It's the only place I've ever seen it, although to be honest I've never tried eBay.
Depressing? I don't know...I've always thought it was a wonderfully exciting theme song. This sounds crazy - REALLY crazy - but even at age 52 the song still gives me goosebumps. Must be 'cause I grew up with it.
Underdog with the energy pill,yeah,all he had to do is take and get it over with. He also kept messing up with Polly Purebread too,she was the only female Beagle in the whole city.
This was one of my favorites when I was a kid he used to make me mad with that energy pill wanted him to just take the thing they would always drag that part out
@av8tor17b Right on. The people are way,way too stupid and ignorant to be stewards of their own money. All power to the brilliant solomons in Washington DC!
The authorities are ineffective, thus the need for a super-vigilante like UDog. The masses in this show are cowed bystanders -- often mouthing the same helpless phrases simultaneously. The villains are bad. Sweet Polly is spunky, but IIRC never acts to help herself out of the weekly kidnap situation or whatever.
I've always loved " Underdog" great clip, thanks for sharing this, I've recently made a video for a song called "Buy a Dog" check it out, you may like it. youtube.com/watch?v=2acYxdU-POw
I remember watching this as a kid! It used to be one of my fave shows. I even remember buying one of the DVDs before the tower records in my town closed down.
my question is why the fuck did he build that contraption just to catch one dog.......anf why is that dog wearing such sexy cloths?......great show though
This was NOT the opening of the show, but WAS used in seasons One (1964-65) and Two (1965-66) just before the second "Underdog" segment in each show (in those seasons, there were two "Underdog" segments in each show with other Total Television-produced cartoons in-between).
Underdog: "When Polly's in trouble I am not slow, it's hip hip hip and away I gooooooo!"
Sweet Polly Purebred: "Oh where oh where has my Underdog gone? Oh where oh where can he beee?"
Simon BarSinister: "Oh Christ! I forgot about the awful singing! I'd rather just let her fucking go! A lot better than hearing her bellow like a cat in heat!"
Please god bring these old cartoons back: underdog, tenessee tuxedo, bullwinkle, speed racer, bugs bunny, daffy duck, george of the jungle, super chicken, tom slick, felix the cat, aesops fables, mr. peabody and sherman, classic fairy tales.
Underdog was WAY cooler than Mighty Mouse. I remember this from the 60's very well. Simon Barsinister & Riff Raff better prepare for a real ass whoopin......
I think Don Adams did the voice of Underdog. This was back when cartoons were "primitive," but they were still some of the best cartoons ever. They were definitely geared toward kids and the family.
Have you noticed how Sweet Polly Purebred in Underdog looks just like Grace Lee Whitney - who played yeoman Janice Rand - in the original-series Star Trek?
I was in an interview years ago and it was a panel of people (maybe 6 or 7) and they were grilling me righteously - I started to panic but then I thought of this song and I got the job! Who says kids cartoons don't mean anything? Thanks for the post!
@Killzone0001 ...err, this isn't a "modern day alteration". The Underdog Show had several cartoons in it (like Tennessee Tuxedo) and this was just one of the "bumpers" for the Underdog cartoon within the show. There's another one like this with Riff Raff and the one with that giant guy.
Kind of reminds me of Obama - the long face, the big, protruding ears, always trying to save everyone. Even the theme fits ... rather than saying Un - der - dog you can say O - ba -ma.
this was one of my all time favorite Saturday morning cartoons. I was so disappointed when it was made into a movie they did such a bad job and my kids couldn't see why I like it when i was there age....

Technically, isn't this the clip that they would play about half way through the show? The opening song was a little longer. "Look! Up in the sky! ...."
@kingman1245 yea it is. why would they has a theme so damned incredible for underdog? it jsut dont make sense, unless you watched it as a kid. its seriouth bidnith.
This theme song is what introduced me to the melodic minor (or is it harmonic minor? I always get them mixed up) scale as a kid... Music theory majors, help me out here....
@XXXemoguitarheroXXX cool!!.......tell joe that his fans all say hi and thank him for providing us with so much enjoyment over the years!!........also ask him if they ever considered doing an episode where Sweet Polly somehow winds up with Underdog's powers(i remember when i was a kid, i wanted to write the show's producers and suggest that)....take care!!
@citizenterryk haha okay i will and i know hes still into doing all thae art but i dont think he would do a new episode hes getting super up ther in age but he still does artwork and i know he just started teaching art at the jewish community center in new york, manhattan i think
Speed of Lightning, Power of Thunder....... There was a particular later episode which had an expanded rendition of the song... UD did'n't have no more secret energy pills left in his secret ring stash. Sweet Polly PureBread ponied up (made my heart melt). Underdog did the deed. Help me out; this permutation must still exist
Only cartoon theme I can remember that was done in a minor key.

I remember when Wally Cox, the voice of Underdog, died and Peter Marshall said it right.
"Dear God, there's no need to fear...Underdog is near."
RIP, Wally.

It's been 16 years since I've heard this theme song. Ah, sweet nostalgia! This song is still stuck inside my mind, and I hope I'll never forget it.

One of the most under-rated, no pun intended, cartoon themes of all time.

I loved this show when growing up; thank you for posting this. I never noted the accordion in the soundtrack before.

Technically, isn't this the clip that they would play about half way through the show? The opening song was a little longer. "Look! Up in the sky! ...."

This theme song is what introduced me to the melodic minor (or is it harmonic minor? I always get them mixed up) scale as a kid... Music theory majors, help me out here....

@XXXemoguitarheroXXX cool!!.......tell joe that his fans all say hi and thank him for providing us with so much enjoyment over the years!!........also ask him if they ever considered doing an episode where Sweet Polly somehow winds up with Underdog's powers(i remember when i was a kid, i wanted to write the show's producers and suggest that)....take care!!

Speed of Lightning, Power of Thunder....... There was a particular later episode which had an expanded rendition of the song... UD did'n't have no more secret energy pills left in his secret ring stash. Sweet Polly PureBread ponied up (made my heart melt). Underdog did the deed. Help me out; this permutation must still exist
