After all these years, I still love the original opening theme! As hip and jazzy as it is, it reminds me a little of the Brady Bunch theme.

@britelite2657 You beat me to it. I was going to say he was the ghost of Snagglepuss.
-
@vonsmitty1313 Yes, but did he know James Brown?
-
I love the gratuitous use of hip catchphrases like "funky" and "Bong" in a theme song that is anything BUT "funky" and in fact sounds like the kind of music cartoons had back in 1963.

September will be the Phantom's 40th Anniversary.

That darn old phantom fancies himself some sort of 'spirit of 1776' american pride patriot, does he?? Well, rather irronically, this was the first cartoon outsourced to Australlia by Hanna Barbera; because american animation was too expensive.

Hey funky phantom, Im seein' what? a hat, a cravat and what are those san culotte? So I gots ta know, What makes you think you so funky?

ha ha the Funky Phantom sounded like Snagglepuss!
He was funky on account of having been dead for 200 years. Furthermore,he seldom took a bath,used deodorant,or laundered his stanky,ghostly britches...

No lie--in about 1972 I was the Funky Phantom for Halloween. I was about 7 and it was one of those plastic masks and coveralls that came in a box....way way back in the day lol.
Boy--that dog and the ghost cat sure hated each other...
