Why is this soundtrack so good??? 9:45 has been in my head for decades, btw

[@oatmeak]

Oh my gosh, it's you

[@matthwe3468]

Hoyt Curtin that's why.

[@Mike--Oxmall]

12:00 for me.

[@eEdselEdsel]

There should be a touring Hoyt Curtin retrospective with an orchestra.

[@Fairyqueen2857]

25:03 is my favourite. It’s just so cheerful. 😃

[@artioml958]

Yeah, the one I was looking for :)

[@petewash999]

Me too

[@GospelTestimony]

[@steverudder3321]

If someone has a memorial due to my passing, I hope that they play this music in the background. 😁👍

[@selenawasurick1668]

I found this music funny

[@anthonysimpsonanygoround8749]

Originally written for the “Loopy de Loop” theatrical shorts.

27:13 there it is.

[@ZacharyNoah]

Kenny Countdown: (chuckles) Elroy Jetson: “What you watching?” Kenny Countdown: “It’s the billionth rerun of The Flintstones.” Fred Flintstone: “Here goes! Yabba-dabba-doo!” [TWANG!] Barney Rubble: “Hey! Look out, Fred!” [SPLASH!] Kenny Countdown: “'Yabba-dabba-doo!'” (laughs)

[@thines01a]

OMG! The stuff at 5:55 adds the flavor to the soundtrack of my life, and enhances my soul! If you understand that, we are natural soulmates!!!

[@OBrids]

Fun fact: This 27:13 excerpt was re-made in the 1994 live action film and used in two moments in the film. Much of the cartoon's original score was inspired by the film, it was a very perfect care that they took with the original work, in addition to of course the impeccable cast.

[@anthonysimpsonanygoround8749]

9:44☺️Innocent & sweet tune!

[@Tatertot.]

Here’s every track with “Meet the Flintstones” or “Rise and Shine” in it. (I made up the song titles) 0:00 Rise and Shine 4:44 Hurry Up Fred! 7:26 Hurry Up Fred! (Alternate version) 17:40 What Do We have Planned for Today, Barney? 18:41 Party at Fred’s House 24:34 Rise and Shine at work 26:35 Rise and Shine and fooling around 30:36 Tragedy Struck 32:00 Meet the wacky Flintstones 33:33 Fred at work 34:02 Daily Flintstones Activities 43:34 Flintstones Residents, Wilma Speaking 44:44 Goodnight Folks! (Rise and Shine, ending theme) 38:22 Jetsons Bonus Track (It doesn’t include either motif I just wanted to point out the track that was often used in the Jetsons)

[@sonjapeterson7366]

Love to play this during my late afternoon work period. Feels just like after-school TV time when I was a kid. 😁💖

[@anthonysimpsonanygoround8749]

Top Cat cues sprinkled throughout: 7:37 Irish Jig/ 14:55 Bugler’s “Hoagy-day”/ 22:04 Pram Mover/ 36:44 “Gershwinesque”/ 41:21 stadium/ 42:22 joyful finale

[@144wychwood]

22:04 another one of my favourites but 42:22 is my all time fav.

[@JJB11]

22:04 it reminds me of Boomerang on Cartoon Network.

[@raymondyorysh7401]

22:04 is my favorite too.

[@thetailedone5006]

22:04 name?

[@anthonysimpsonanygoround8749]

@@thetailedone5006 I finally decided on some names describing the compositions, as I don’t know their actual names. The second piece, used as chase music, I’m calling Bugler’s “Hoagy-day” in tribute to the famous brass tune by Leroy Anderson, and the second chase music I refer to as “Pram Mover” since it accompanies baby Charlie’s buggy rolling loose on the city streets. This is also the music heard when Top Cat is commanding his gang while in transit, with “Stroke men, stroke!”.

[@MuzikJunky]

16:58-the angry music I’ve been lookin’ for for decades! Peace.

[@anthonysimpsonanygoround8749]

Also used in the feature “Hey There It’s Yogi Bear” (1964) in the scene where Yogi is fed up and considers leaving Jellystone. This was a Hoyt Curtin cue but most of the other background music in the film was by Marty Paich.

[@3912James]

WILLLLLLLLLLLLLLMA!!!!

[@stephencowboyangelone0169]

Dude this is awesome 😅👍 I’m 54 and loved every second of it. All I had to do was close my eyes and listen and it was like I was sitting in front of the TV watching the actual cartoons. Thank you so much for putting this up 🙏

[@LNSmithee]

I’m about to exit my fifties. You’re so right. You don’t think about the background music while you’re watching the show but decades later when you hear it, the rush of the childhood memories is almost euphoric. 😮😊😃

[@144wychwood]

I’m closing in on 60 years of age and I can say your sentiment echo mine 💯%

[@pacz8114]

32:00. Very inventive arrangement. Until now I never heard the back 8 -- which is delightful.

[@PlasmaCoolantLeak]

I used to watch them and the Jetsons when they were on primetime, and remember when Fred would light up a Winston.

[@itsjoshua2508]

Ever since I got The Complete Series, these songs have been stuck in my head.

[@arqivist2077]

13:26 This cue was repurposed from the instrumental break during the song "Dino The Dino", written and recorded for the 1961 Golden Records album "Songs Of The Flintstones".

[@ikihean]

25:02 ❤️

[@GreenHotDogz]

So nostalgic for me, haven't heard this theme in years.

[@MarcoAndresRetamalesGac]

23:51 Good music, beautiful saxophones

[@dirtyguy611]

Clarinetes... no saxofones..

[@elanimalhonesto134]

I LOVE IT SO, SO, SO MUCH!!.. THIS MAKES ME CRY, SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES!!..

[@eduardo_corrochio]

Wow, this is so nice, such a big chunk of Mr. Curtin's music for this show. I'd only seen little bits of the underscore on KZbin previously, culled from those old CD boxed sets and such. Very grateful to have found this. Heavy nostalgia for a Gen X guy. Kudos & Thanks.

[@GospelTestimony]

I remember these like it was yesterday, but my 10 year old has one upped me. She remembers what episodes they are found in!

[@CarlosPCmx]

Nice!

[@anthonylowder6687]

14:55 and 15:35 are the scores that’s going to be going through my mind when my wife says our first baby is coming and I have to get her to the hospital!!!😂🤣🤣🤰🤱👩‍🍼

[@mtantfttayeva5247]

❤❤❤

[@gerlofsdonia4522]

18:50 Perfection 🤏😔👌

[@144wychwood]

My personal favorite @ 42:21 used near ending of episode where Rubbles temporary moved in with Fred & Wilma. Betty and Wilma thought Fred & Barney would end up fighting but they were ones who ended up getting into big argument after Barney ate whole pizza pie intended for all of them. HAHAHAHA! . Hoyt Curtin themes and underscores for The Flintstones, Top Cat, The Jetson's and Jonny Quest were FANTASTIC!!! The animation may have been limited but music was top notch.

[@fromthesidelines]

Originally used for "TOP CAT", but it worked just as well for the happy ending of "The House Guest".

[@fromtherubble6890]

Barney Rubble is the reason I love the show, but the music is a close second... It's the best

[@grandpabobbydean]

[@fromthesidelines]

Those were "reconstituted" credits for the first season {Syd Zelinka- and Joe Barbera himself- also wrote first season scripts}. Mel Blanc wasn't given screen credit during the *original* season one and two closing credits because he was under "exclusive contract" to Warrner Bros. for "THE BUGS BUNNY SHOW" (1960-'62), in which his name was prominently featured at the end of those credits. It wasn't until season three that Mel finally received voice credit.
