Capitol Hi-Q Music Cue: Eccentric Comedy

Well, since I've seen people uploading KPM/Associated Music Cues, I thought I'd try uploading some of the older harder-to-find Capitol Production Music Library cues that many of you may recognize from "Dennis the Menace," "My Three Sons," "The Donna Reed Show," and cartoons like "Gumby," "The Ren & Stimpy Show," "Huckleberry Hound," "Quick Draw McGraw," "Bucky and Pepito" and six Looney Tunes cartoons from 1958. Usually this music was merely credited to one John Seely, who composed a number of the cues and was usually the supervisor of the Capitol Hi-Q Library.

This cue is entitled "Eccentric Comedy," written by Bill Loose and John Seely himself. You may recognize this from the infamous Gumby short "Robot Rumpus", as well as on "Toy Crazy/Toy Joy," and on some early Huckleberry Hound-series shorts and on the 1958 Bugs Bunny cartoon "Pre-Hysterical Hare."

How come nobody ever uploads the Bugs Bunny Cartoon "Pre-Hysterical Hare" anymore? Is it because of the music?

[wileyk209zback]

@YoshiAngemon No, it's because of copyrights with Warner Bros. Entertainment. Music rights aren't a problem with those six WB cartoons, because they were intended for THEATRICAL distribution. TV distribution rights is a whole other game (as with "Gumby" and the H-B shows.)

Is it possible to get copies of all the Hoyt Curtin HB music cues? Just wondered as I loves them too.

[wileyk209zback]

@Granitoons It it easy to get copies of the Flintestones and Jetsons music cues, as well as Top Cat and Johnny Quest (all were released on CD), but some other music (such as "Wacky Races" and any 1970s/1980s show, or anything Ted Nichols composed such as "Scooby-Doo") are VERY hard to find

Wow! I've always wondered where this stuff actually came from and well...guess my question's been answered.

Man, definitely one of my favorites. More from Yogi Bear though.

On GAC a very well known member here [not me or you] revleaed that Mr.Wheeler, the second Lantz composer, was older, born in 1885, and Calker, the first before, was younger, born 1905, a full twenty five years. [Of course Lantz is a different sutdio but sitll, the cues wound up in the same libray. GAC Forums topic: Cooking with Milt Franklyn]

Ghost written by mood compsoer [and husband to Judy Garland] David Rose. BTW Walter Lantz composers Darrell Calker and Clarence Wheeler also contributed, but I don't know what.
