Here are some favorite cartoon theme songs from when I was growing up.
Tetsuwan Atomu ("Astro Boy" in America)
Candy Candy
Ikkyu-san
Sally the Witch
The twists and turns of the "scenic route" through life might slow down the journey. But it just might be more interesting, and at times quite beautiful.

Canvas on The Simpsons
10 years ago I was in a singing group in Seattle called Canvas. We did an arrangement of the theme song to The Simpsons, and it was one of our fans' favorites.
I found out recently that they featured a video of this in the closing credits of Season 20 Episode 18 aired in April of this year (our bit begins at 20:45).
I am not in this video, unfortunately, because I'd left Seattle at that point to be with my dad before he died. This was a video of Canvas' final concert. The girl 2nd from the left was my replacement for that time.
Go to the Canvas/Simpsons site to see Simpsonesque caricatures of everyone, and to hear/purchase our CD (which DOES feature my voice!).
Very fun stuff!
