Flash Gordon, Where Are You?

Watching The Adventures of Flash Gordon, I noticed how they sometimes used that stock bongo sound for groups of people running, the same thing you hear when Fred Flintstone starts running to get his car moving, or when Scooby-Doo and the gang are getting chased. I also noticed some scenes where our heroes escape from guards by hiding behind a doorway or curtain, wiggling a finger at the guard, and bonking him on the head when he comes close to investigate. That had Scooby-Doo written all over it, so I had to create one of these chase song scenes. The main song is "Tell Me, Tell Me" from the Scooby-Doo episode "Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Werewolf". Words and music by Danny Janssen and Sue Steward. There are also excerpts of "West End Blues" by Zach Whyte's Chocolate Beau Brummels (public domain) in the harem scene, and "Trouble Trouble" by Betty Roche (public domain) in the closing scene. I also used part of a clip titled "bell_crowd_laughter" by cognito perceptu from freesound.org, used in accordance with a Creative Commons Sampling 1.0 license.

If this video turns out lousy, blame Windows 7 for not being retro-compatible with my old editing software.

On the up side, I discovered the current incarnation of the franchise "Scooby-Doo! Mystery Inc." playing on Cartoon Network. Based on the first two episodes, I approve.
