Dogtanian Intro

[BVargas78]

I loved this. It is pleasant to see this again.

[Wykesidefruitmachine]

"They drink good beer and swear"!!!! : D

[spot5]

A kids tv show extolling the virtues of honour and friendship. Part of what's really, really sad about watching this clip is that not only will we who loved and grew up with it will never have those days back but also kids today will never, ever be exposed to anything that tries to promote 'un-PC' values like honour and friendship in this day and age.

[tuulenkoti]

Ok who else hears King Diamond in this ?

[stitcha123]

lol@,43 - one dog at the bench has had too much to drink n feels like shit, and the other dog is like, fuck this shit - im outta here.

[miguelthedog]

0.44 'kids are really horny' wtf???

[divoff14]

@miguelthedog LOL Corny not Horny LOL.

[miguelthedog]

@divoff14

0.39 ...mustekeer hounds always shagging....???

1.00 they drink beer and swear...???

[got2lovepizza]

@miguelthedog

listian to it again

0.39 sound more like saving or shaveing

1'00 they drink a beer and swer fateful to there king

not swering in a 1980's cartoon that could be a big no no well in the good ones it was

[Leeds4EvEr1992]

@miguelthedog  lol corny!

[401ashen]

did the last lyrcs say kids are pointless la la la la also when dogtanion was fighrting that other dog  you do have a whole room you know no need to fighrt in the same spot i blame it on the script

[throttlejockey77]

This was my favourite !

:)

[1Thompsonmusic]

Thumbs up if you think the ad preceding is not funny

[JonathanBloggs]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is so shit!

I actually used to really love this as a kid, like, i genuinely thought it was good.

HAHAHAHAHA IT'S SO FUCKING SHIT

[defuzed28]

@JonathanBloggs no it's still good you just grew up into a big shit

[DLPBurke]

@defuzed28 Agreed.

[stitcha123]

@DLPBurke shouldnt we be watching snooker videos? lol

[DLPBurke]

@stitcha123 Oh I'm sorry, I forgot Youtube was just for Snooker.

[stitcha123]

@DLPBurke ...quite.

[DLPBurke]

@defuzed28 I also spoke to Cam Clarke, voice of Dogtanian, had a laugh about this programme. It was his first main job.

[PaoloLery]

no mate this ain't silly and neither is honour and friendship.

[GenosisDX]

OMG!!!!!! I forgot about this! I used to watch this on a Monday before I went to beaver club lol!

[freakstate]

As a kid I thought this was too long, still is.

[strange6]

Who would have thought that Ugg boots existed back then

[verfugbarkite]

This was fuckin silly.

[HalloKitty93]

omg how much I missed this one!! <3 loved it in my childhood!!! <3

[Tentacleed]

meh, off to the amazon shop to buy them all! My kid loves old cartoons and I will make sure he doesn't miss out on anything.

[alyal6969]

Ohh my god, i watched one of the episodes when i was about 6 on VCR, i never knew what happened afterwards now im 18 im gonna find out.

[CromoCalvaria]

I remember watching one episode when I was very little in my grandmother's house in Mexico(they like showing old cartoons as much as new ones over there) and this little tune stayed in my memory until today when I finally decided to search for it! wow I can't believe I didn't try searching for it sooner xD

[phaQlot]

Once it's in your head...

[EnglanEOfficial]

I ADORED this programme and theme tune when I was little! :)

[weds9994]

00:13

brb, presenta

[danmanpio]

Epic



[VelvetKate]

memories!

[sub7AV]

can anything beat mysteroius cites of gold theme tune?

[88hoopy]

80s wer the best 4 cartoons,movies and music long live the 80s

[086decoflood]

ah yes amazing

[BumbleGrease2011]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[anxresi]

I've seen Doves Cry, but never poop a rainbow before..

[therealKINDLE]

I find it so sad that Cartoon Theme Arrangements aren't given ANY recognition just because they were for children. If you listen to The Dreamstone intro for example, it uses a FULL ORCHESTRA for gods sake. But so what if it's composed on synthesizers? These are the most melodic & effective songs ever composed. All made with real passion, & no money. They should be a LOT more appreciated.

[sub7AV]

@therealKINDLE hmm also "shake it up" has one of the best theme tunes for kids tv, just awesome

[mistofoles]

@sub7AV Never! "Aah-ah-ah-ah!! Cities of go -ool-dd!! Doo-doo-doo-da-dooo, aaaahhh. Doo-doo-doo-doo, cities of gold!"

[DarrenBonJovi]

Even when I was a kid I thought this intro was crap... apart from the teeth grindingly naff theme tune, the editing and choice of clips is badly put together and incongruous... then again, I was a miserable kid...

[sub7AV]

@DarrenBonJovi lol

[debsaid]

I could cry... This is SOOO nostalgic, omg. I have to agree, beats *anything* on today's TV. Epic <3

[PrettyMurky]

Last two decades? What last two decades?

[buffonia]

I have always loved the epic theme tune to this one - two mins long! No kids show today would have a two minute theme tune.....and such a brilliant one as well! (the Willy Fogg 80 Days around the World theme is also epic!)

[MsPoodlehead]

god that has brought me back. still can't understand what they're saying in parts of this song tho!

[kingmontyboy]

loved this

[Glitcher2000]

This falls just short of Filmation's Ghostbusters as Worst Cartoon Theme Ever!

[manutdsalfordreds]

I used to fly home from school for this and that was in 5th year high school :)

[tosspot86]

wow this song sounded much better when i was a child

[limpade1]

This should be a movie.

[Oxxyjoe]

@limpade1 If you like animated features, I recommend Unico. It's a 70's Anime before they called it anime. There were three moves, I've seen two and they are superb.

[redplague]

@limpade1 Why? Are movies always better?

[Xenomorphine]

@limpade1 They did actually make one, if memory serves right.

[thedaftdrunk]

Im young again i just remembed my life quest that I abandoned long ago, back on target here boys, and no dont ask me what i was smoking.

[kitey123456789]

@thedaftdrunk

i would say you was smoking old green stuff the magic leaf that shal make you high

or may be tobacco with a hint of weed and a bit of cocane in it

[ukstars]

i loved these i had the figures!!!! My grandad caught me trying to flush the baddie down the loo....( i was only 3)

[Tregmedia]

any full eps aywhere ?



[2cansofbulmers]

Holy shit i actually remember this. somewhere in the back of my infancy.

[matthewogden1984]

Just realised how old im getting lol ;s

[MrBuch169169]

Wow. I had memories of this... but in my memories it was nothing like this...

Also in my head it was 'Musket-hounds'. What the hell is 'muske' supposed to mean?

[speakerwizard]

@MrBuch169169 as in musketeers, taken from muskets (guns) get back in history class

[MrBuch169169]

@speakerwizard No, I understand that xD

I meant that it should be Musket-hounds, rather than 'muske'. 'Muske' means nothing, and actually neither does 'teers'.

[7angeldelight7]

Best kids tv show theme ever

[mark0032]

In all their adventures, our musketeers hold true to the two virtues that should never be forgotten.... honour and friendship!!! now those are life lessons you do not get in todays cartoons.

[bobbiwib]

@mark0032 love and tolerance are good lessons thiugh bro

[jimmenlybobble]

great, back in this day we had no sky plus or internet, you played outside for a while with mates, thats why we were not a fat bunch of 80s kids then we had to be in to watch this or other cartoons or you would miss it, simple

[Thestuka1]

O god I remember this cartoon.

[JackOfBlades434]

One day me and my dog will be able to slice an apple in the air. Say... If Chuck Norris was a musketeer named something tanian, then he is DOGTANIAN IN THIS? Cool!

[Khaos969]

I never did like this cartoon as a kid went on for fucking ever, this and "eighty days around the world" always got turned over lol

[TheToddy30]

@Khaos969 They were the best! Besides back then what did you turn over to? There was only really only channel at a time with kids shows..

[Khaos969]

@TheToddy30 I dont think there was anything else on decent at this time of the day so I may have forced myself to wash it lol

[n3oka333]

fucking advertisement on freaking dogtanian intro, embarrassing youtube :D:D:D

[mrmalade]

did anybody rememebr the last episode - turned out dogtanian was gay and had given porthos a bum infection.

[CunningStunt777777]

@mrmalade i think it was arimis - he was the fag

[JackOfBlades434]

@mrmalade Lie.

[kriscrockard]

does this depress anyone else.

[FriedEggsandChips]

@kriscrockard Because you got older? Yes, me too. I loved this show... I can't imagine looking forward to any programme now as much as I did this one in the early nineties.

[TheJboy88]

Remember when cartoons were good?

Oh how the well has dried up.

[steviebhoy7]

Can't believe I remembered the words lol :)

[SoooooBusy]

@steviebhoy7

[SoooooBusy]

@steviebhoy7 me too! ALL the words, but can't remember what i had for breakfast ;0)

[STOPJABBAINGON]

I bought the box set the other day of this. Every single episode ever made for less then £20....BARGAIN

[benchamp]

@STOPJABBAINGON I bought it a while back too. Don't make 'em like this anymore.

[MsTamesa]

one of my fave theme tunes of all time, OF ALL TIME

[flymajj]

Fuck me - I just stumbled upon this and immediately recognised the theme tune after about 25 years!

[Anophis]

I remember this! Got some episodes on dvd and video. Great stuff.

[number1slayer]

The kids now a days have such crap to watch unlike when we were kids

[djnemesisuk]

@number1slayer back then they took pride in there cartoons, lot of them were from like small movie companies. then the bigger 1s take over and cut corners.

[philessexuk]

@djnemesisuk the shit on kids TV now isn't even fun or educational and is pointless garbage

[MrDaznsarah]

dadadan dadadan

[Donderbalkie]

Sal iemand tog asb Die Swart Kat op youtube sit.

[FuroraCeltica]

Amazing memories. I haven't heard this for decades, but the instant the music kicked in, I could sing along without missing a word

[antisora123222]

Does anyone know where I can watch this? :(

[fortykebabs]

EveryBody Give it up For Psychotic 80's cartoon theme songs. Truly a unique and magical age.

[PEKET0]

screw this adventure time is the best xD

[Damoon13madadi]

One for All & All for One

[Damoon13madadi]

One for All & All for One

[sub7AV]

best cartoon, could never decide which was best, this, mysteroius cities of gold or the bluffers...

[andrewwpwhite1978]

This was one of the classics I used to watch growing up. The only problem was the theme song was so annoying - sounds like they have been on helium.

[pmagrin]

It's strange but this cartoon of all the TV and film versions I'v e seen is by far the closest to the original

[Blackhoundrise]

i'm a guy but this is so cute and it me cry sometimes. sad now coz my kid's gonna grow up watching shit. i swear now i will horde all this good stuff and he will watch proper cartoons that expand imagination and teach good lessons in a fun interesting way. not that night in the garden crap. make him bedwet all the time. yuck

[kelse1991]

there was a different version of this, does anyone know where I can find it? where he popped up through the clouds there was like a key change with barking?

[onecrazylemming]

Heres a way to spoil something: The striking similarity between the first chords of this and Nine Inch Nails "Head Like a Hole"

[ihalloway]

lol i do remember this anime :D

[CarpMagic95]

i used to live for this program lol im so pleased to have found every episode for sale on dvd sets lol gonna make my kids watch them, also found loads of other fantastic 80`s etc classics on dvd sets and singles. Fraggle rock, superted, loads and loads. Getting them all and gonna make sure i keep the legends living by making my kids grow up watching them all just like i did. About time they sampled real entertainment, ben 10 take a back seat man, let the real legends through!. Thanks for upload!

[mrbedford]

the horse was called sandy, i still on occasion what all these classic cartoons, the stories beat anything shown on tv now

[sub7AV]

@mrbedford that is so true, honest these cartoons i used to watch beat ANYTHING on todays TV, to many brats wrapped in cotton wool on there xbox, dam I was out playing till 10.00pm at night with my mates football we used jumpers for posts and lamppost lights to see oposite my house i was like 8 or something, I am pleased I grew up in the 80s and 90s rather than xbox and playstation

[mrbedford]

@sub7AV haha thats exactly what i did, in the summer holidays up when its light play footy all day then go home when dark

[josephxuereb1]

@sub7AV i so agree with your words mate

[IKNOWALLABOUTALL]

@sub7AV

Whilst I'm not going to debate whether cartoons are better or worse now I do take issue with your comments regarding computer games. The Playstation was released in the1990's (late 1994). I played football, watched cartoons of that era AND then played playstation. And before that, in the 1980's I played on my Nintendo.

[kitey123456789]

@sub7AV

oh yes the day's when we had to go out side for fun i remember it well

to bad those days are gone

[tokutom]

@sub7AV Woah woah woah! Woah! You don't touch Playstation! Everything else I agree with!

But Spongebob Squarepants is so immature. Because it allegedly has ''some adult humour'' it's,like,SO SPECIAL! Even though everything has adult humour! Doesn't mean it's good!

[blazzingsaddles4]

@sub7AV

Same here, jumpers for goalposts 'till late. Not a computer or console in sight. God, how old am I?.....

[sub7AV]

@sub7AV I had consoles n that, atari 2600, amstrad cpc464 and spectrum zx, amiga 500, megadrive ect.. thats aged 6-13 but i still spent 89% of my time with my mates playing futy till late, i duno somthing wrong, boys wearing pink top these days and yet its cool, if a biy wore pink in the 80s-90s they would get LOLd at. I am so please i missed the xbox;ps3 and facebook;twitter craze.

[EnglishMeatHorse]

@sub7AV So what has gone wrong fellow normal person?

[Reaperfox]

@sub7AV I grew up in the 80s and 90s and lived on my Amstrad/NES. Pretty sure a *lot* of kids did, too. We turned out fine. Seriously, this is such a facebook meme, hur hur kids THESE DAYS *yawn*

[milleroooooo]

I used to love this! Shagging everything for fun, that's the way to be!

[Avradizimir]

I used to love this show, lol. Especially his horse.

[brandybuck1984]

Its 12.40am, I have work in the morning and I am watching this!

[dunskids]

"take me out" winner looks like juliette.

[Somarinoa]

Am I the only one who thinks the "one for all and all for one" sounds like dog barking? Was that on purpose?

[dweem2009able]

shagging everything we fuck. dats the way to be. lol

[zekezero12345]

0:28 - "one for all and all for one, it's a shitty story, sharing everything with mum that's the way to be".

I remember these themes better than what I learned in school!! CoCo Pops and TV a potent combo!

[CrazyEddi3]

@zekezero12345 Holy crap... that's creepy.

[kelse1991]

Does anyone know where I can find the alternative version? It's the same tune, but it's the lyrics of 'Return of Dogtanian' and there's a key change when Dogtanian and Juliette are on the cloud. I think it might have been like a short movie version but I can't find it anywhere!!

[neppaz]

this programme kicked butt

[penfold922]

i always fancied milady is that wrong lol

[andytubeism]

god this takes me back!

[zanzibar79]

In primary school a mate of mine told the teacher he knew the lyrics in French. She asked if he wanted to sing it to the class and he said he did. He didn't actually know the French words so he just jabbered nonsense to the tune for a minute and sat down and everyone clapped.

[Blade5468]

@zanzibar79 Haha, brilliant.

[TrenosUK]

"dadanan dadanan"

I've only just realised the dog bark sample playing over the tune - never heard it before.

[UrharRar]

Its 1991 (roughly) urharrar comes home from school its 3pm den tv is on, ray darcy calls out and up next muska hounds, urharrar brings his school bag to the closet under the stairs and says homework fuck yourself, urharrar vertically suplexis his bag to the floor laughs like a maniac, runs n leaps onto the couch muskahounds now and den tv till 6pm ya baby ya

[fleamarket3000]

dogtanian ftw

[waty67]

On the first English solo album by Agnetha from ABBA there is a song written by the same guys who wrote this song.

[fuckthehuns1]

It must be shit being a kid these days... they dont have cartoons like this... they have fuckin bebo ffs!. thank the lord i was born in the early 80s

[fasfadsfsd]

@fuckthehuns1 The Lord was very kind to you- why?!

[fuckthehuns1]

@fasfadsfsd

Lord knows :)

[CharliEEVista]

One of the greatness cartoons ever!

[DENVERTZ007]

[DENVERTZ007]

@ampelogardenboy 5 Νοεμβριου 1982,εγινε η βραβευση

[ukchristian28]

I remember this. I used to love it. It is amazing how long the intro was. Kids programmes today are just not as good as they used to be from what I have seen.

[klmattydub]

weren't they all dogs apart from one random pig

[twistedleafpro]

Damm I miss the real cartoons :), cartoons today can't light a candle to these :)

[ukchristian28]

@twistedleafpro

I totally agree. Have you noticed how long the intro is? Intros for today's shows would never be as long as that. Kids wouldn't have a long enough attention span.

[twistedleafpro]

@ukchristian28 hahaha tell me about it, lol

[mrbedford]

great story (duh) but great music and voices

[ailee241]

I am so grateful I had such a great childhood, partly thanks to a wonderful network of family and friends, partly due to amazing cartoons like this!!! Bring back the 80s/90s I say!! xx

[oranbhoy67]

when im watching this i can smell the golden drummers & super noodles i usually was eating while watching it yum!

[sharondianes]

brilllllllllllllllliantttttttt­. i love the dog so much!!!. i dont feel old.

[jilliebean3000]

I always think they sing "shagging everything with fun" around 0:30

and "kids are pretty corny" around 0:44 =D

[ohmygodnoddy]

@jilliebean3000 haha, i heard that too. and at 1:02 it sounds like they sing "they drink their beer and swear..."

[AngelEmfrbl]

@ohmygodnoddy Its because the singers are trying to "bark" their words to match the dog theme.

[jl45000019]

@ohmygodnoddy thats because they do. The full line is "they drink their beer and swear they're faithful to their king"

[TheToddy30]

@ohmygodnoddy That's what it says

[ukchristian28]

@jilliebean3000

I thought they sang "kids are pretty corny". lol. I didn't realize until I read the lyrics.

[Wodanaz]

@jilliebean3000 They are singing that!

[Scottishgal78]

@jilliebean3000 lol, it REALLY sounds like it to hahahaha XD

[shoogaldougal]

@jilliebean3000 true thats what i herd 2

[FuckDaMedia]

@jilliebean3000 its called subliminal messages, ur subconcious mind picks up the words withour u realising it. probably explains why we grew up so horny. its worse now, kids nowdays are already trying to get laid but now we have the great internet. they can just type sex in google and see how things work down there

[Sailorsega]

@jilliebean3000 That's the product of a diseased mind

[discogareth]

Guido and Mauricio deAngelis who wrote the theme song for this, also wrote the Willy Fogg theme. Also they wrote an album track for ABBA's Agnetha Faltskog on her 1983 album, wrap your arms around me. The track is 'Stand by my side'

Search for it, and there is a hint of Dogtanian in the style!

[10stokesy]

madness. did his nose go red when he was angry? I remember pretending to do that when a teacher shouted at me in primary school hahahah!!!

[SassiTheKitty]

@10stokesy yes it did lol

[hootyhaha]

Talk about pure GOLD! Is this a real show? I love RARE shows like this. I wish The Hub, or Cartoon Network would focus on getting blocks of these to air on Saturday & Sunday Mornings. Imagine the ratings they could get. All of us retro fans now have kids, nephews, young cousins. We would watch it, then also get the kids in our family to watch it. Networks would make money on shows they don't even pay to produce now. Why can't they get that in their heads? Thumbs this up, and spread the idea.

[FuckDaMedia]

@hootyhaha yeah this is

[Avradizimir]

@hootyhaha

It was very big in the 80's...

[karl578]

didn't realize snoop dogg featured! 1:03

[itsalljust4fun]

@karl578 I swear I just died when I read that, i think i died again when i checked it at 1:03...then i think i died a third time when i saw the part...way too funny! brilliant

Juliette, Julieeeeeeettttte! She was cute for a cartoon dog.
