Why did I wake up with the theme song of the old ‘Herman and Katnip’ cartoon series in my head this morning? Could I have revisited the series in my dreams? Highly unlikely–I don’t remember liking them all that much but I sure do seem to have liked the theme song enough for it to have fought its way out of my sub-conscious mind and into my conscious one. It’s pleasant enough as these things go–the orchestration and vocal harmonies are lush and deftly accomplished. The lyrics are about on par with what A.I. would give us if we prompted ‘1950s cartoon theme song cat/mouse’. I’m assuming this little credit sequence is all one needs to know about this series. Or am I missing out on an unjustly forgotten animation classic? Enjoy the theme song. I’ll watch a couple of the cartoons over lunch and report back tomorrow.
