Cattanooga Cats - "Merry Go-Round"

[@Collageman90]

RIP Julie Bennett you will always be a legend to voice acting.

[@Doommaster1994]

And RIP to Peggy Clinger, who sang the female vocals in the Cattanooga Cats songs.

This is one of my favorites - a melancholy yet up-tempo tune about the loss of innocence and the end of childhood (and a late 1960's allegory as well), accompanied by flashy, psychedelic art. (Stylistically similar to another Cattanooga Cats tune, "Love Won't Stay Away".) Blatant Plug: For more info, check out the Cattanooga_Cats group on Yahoo.

Not regularly, but they still show up every now and then on Boomerang. The last time they were shown was October 2006.

Lyrics, for those wondering: Children on the playground, watching merry-go-round Grabbing for the brass ring, laughing at the plaything Merry-g-round, merry-go-round, merry-go-round How can you tell a carousel the world cannot stay happy Better go 'round, let her go 'round, merry-go-round Children, how you do sound, yelling "merry-go-round" Soon enough you'll grow up, moments start to show up Merry-go-round, merry-go-round, merry-go-round How can you tell a carousel the blue skies may turn cloudy? Better go 'round, let her go 'round, merry-go-round Children go downtown and forget merry-go-round Soon enough will come December, and then you shall remember Better go 'round, let her go 'round, merry-go-round Took years to find these online!

Jonas Clark Jonas, I’m old, but, this was my favorite song on the album. I only wish all the songs were on it. It was put out on Forward Records, I sure wish I could get a CD, or playlist. Thank you for putting out the lyrics! Linda

A very "Peter Max" ish style of animation that Hanna-Barbera did,for this music segment of "THE CATTANOOGA CATS" on ABC in 1969-and also a great and pleasant song!

[@jeffreyworthen7033]

As a child this was my favorite song....but DAMN!!! looking at the video again as an adult it looks one great LSD trip.

[@vixey_riot]

My childhood... I was 4 when I last saw it..this was on my "it's the wolf" vhs...and I remembered this song all these years later..

[@taylorhill6205]

Round round round Cattanooga Cats goes where is stop only the cats know!🎠🐱🎶

[@cApEgUrLzRoX]

having trouble finding "sleep tonight", one of the best and deepest ones :(

[@JonasClark]

TimKangaroo put it right: a song about the loss of childhood innicence, I think. But fun and bouncy. My favorite of the Cattanooga Cats songs. Much better than Banana Splits, better all-around, music included - well-produced bubbegum pop, with a few country influences.

[@Bizarronumber4]

Very Yellow Submarine influenced psychedelic animation.

[@Channel_EXE]

They needed to push kitty jo a lot more here.

[@ilovehorseyrides]

One of my favorite cartoon music "videos"...I love watching furry cartoon characters riding horses! :)

[@cjpmmd]

The only bubblegum song I can think of at the moment with grimmer lyrics than this is "Mister Factory" by The Archies.

[@cjpmmd]

aachelabelaaron They're just DOIN' THEIR THING (cha-ba-da, cha-ba-da, sing cha-ba-da.....)!

[@SgtBilby]

+cjpmmd Mister Factory is very cringeful even for a song by The Archies

[@SgtBilby]

+aachelabelaaron There's a difference The songs like those from The Cattanooga Cats are timeless (even this song) songs like "Mister Factory" are sadly dated in terms of the issues of it's time It doesn't help that Archie's Funhouse replayed the song a few times making the song unbearable when watching the show in a binge

[@skrag2112]

I'd still like to get Boomarang. A lot of my old favorites are on it.

[@arober9758]

Cool!! i wonder if it will come out on DVD 2 months later...?

[@arober9758]

Amazing!!

[@mosttiptoptopcat]

it's beautiful

[@JonasClark]

I love this song, glad to finally see the animation that went with it! Yes, a bit melancholy, but still bouncy and fun.

[@anthonymarziano1921]

I like the song is has a very hypnotic melody the works I Describe it is that is had a very flashy colors vibe to it, I think that's why people got hooked, is because of the way it looked an to be honest it looked like a lsd trip, Tell me in the comments what you liked about show.

[@VanillaLimeCoke]

Is it me or are those some rather scary looking horses on the merry go around?

[@cApEgUrLzRoX]

TY hun :)

[@skrag2112]

Man I wish could get Boomarang.

[@jo287]

Time to spin throughout this song because hashtag 🔴🔵⚫⚪

[@cApEgUrLzRoX]

i wish he didn't delete his comments i'd love to run into the other 'cats songs...one day :( it's fun to imagine them from the titles...

[@ansumanahargett6227]

Groovy love song

[@jamesmurray8558]

They only had one season.

[@opulent7]

I would if I had them.

[@mr.fiction1558]

Not half bad

[@Kitsuneranger]

This is one of my favorite Cattanooga Cats tunes. It's a darn shame that the cartoon got shunned due to the mediocrity that was The Banana Splits
