Stompin (Hey Arnold Ending Theme) - Shoeless Grooves

The Shoeless Grooves arrangement of Jim Lang's composition, Stompin, from Hey Arnold. Special thanks to Jim for the chart.

[@jcollins9392]

I honestly feel me growing up watching this made me truly appreciate jazz

[@sajvion]

I feel that on such a verbose level man.

[@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind]

This and playing Hydrocity Zone acts 1 and 2 from Sonic 3 over and over again, AAAAND the Metal Slug series.

[@HerzogVonMartian]

My dad hates jazz, I love it. I never really understood why, but it's likely cause of stuff like this. Also there used to be a TV show that had Dave Brubeck's "Take five" as it's intro and outro and it really resonated with me.

[@Alr1ghtyThen]

Jim Lang is the man. His music made my childhood 100 times better than it would have been without Hey Arnold.

[@TheReal7Bit]

90's cartoons were about the classiest things ever. How come I never realized that great soundtrack as a child. Fucking fantastic stuff.

[@walkerloko]

Mr. Tulip I feel the same, i caught myself watching an episode and my jaw dropped at such amazing soundtrack.

[@nietzsche688]

+walkerloko this cartoon really had the best soundtrack ever. I honestly can't remember a cartoon with a better soundtrack than this. So sad we can't have things like this anymore.

[@StudioCONGO40]

in my opinion as a 2000s kid,the only other cartoon that make me feel like this is Harvey beaks,because it's so cute and real plus I love music.ALSO please respect my opinion

[@AlonzoMarquisGraychipmonk]

The loud house is also good.

[@HerzogVonMartian]

Ever hear the Intro of Biker Mice from Mars? It's a different Genre of course, but man it is killer Terrible Thunder Lizards, Eek the Cat, Dexter's Laboratory, Bobby's World, Edd Edd 'n Eddy, Rocko's Modern Life, Rugrats, Doug, Animaniacs, Ren & Stimpy, Darkwing Duck, Batman the Animated series, Swat Kats, 2 stupid dogs, The Tick, Pink and the Brain, Cow and Chicken, Arthur, The Angry Beavers, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Powerpuff Girls, Rocket Power, Alfred J. Kwak ( if you haven't heard of this one, that's cause it's a Dutch one that was animated by Disney animators), Calimero and Angry Beavers. All their intros were great, most of these shows didn't have as much music as Hey Arnold, but still their intros were unique Also there were a good few great intros for older shows like Top Cat, the Jetsons, The Flintstones, Wacky Racers and more. Never really appreciated how great TV was as a kid.

[@TheJimLang]

Belatedly: well played sir!

[@catalystdrums123]

Thanks Jim! It's a great tune! We probably wouldn't have figured out the whole thing without your help. I tried to send you this recording maybe 7 years ago so I'm glad you are finally hearing it.

[@Jomzi01]

+Jim Lang Hey man I know you get this a lot but long versions of arnolds soundtrack is needed btw your music is genius

[@Grinix0]

+Jim Lang you're a god jim

[@retpolanne]

You know you've done it well when the original composer likes your version :P I can't thank both of you enough for enhancing my childhood.

[@flatfoot56girl]

+Jim Lang, any clue where I could buy the mp3 of this tune?

[@KitKat-ks7ni]

I seriously wish all the HA! "soundtrack" songs were this long. It's so much more fulfilling to be able to listen to a full track. The complete theme is amazing! Great job. (:

[@catalystdrums123]

The composer sent it to me, just this track though

[@Psykill3r]

Hey guys, you see this bruise on my face here? It's where you PUNCHED ME with nostalgia and awesomeness. Keep on rockin'!

[@trushinitas]

Sounds pretty nice, love the keys.💞

[@nelsonalves5287]

I really appreciate and absolutely love the use of the Fender Rhodes in this!!!

[@ScourgeOTG]

I keep coming back to this. Fantastic piece!

[@oxelasun]

This is exactly what I needed at 4:27 am on a Thursday in may as I wait until I die slowly and, yet again, wake up late to go to my job that I want to quit tomorrow. It’s only a matter of time before I’m able to get on a plane and go. Go so far away that this song will be the representation of how soulful and fulfilled me and my beautiful wife will be. I’m cry as I type this and I know this all to be true, except when it will happen. But I know that the day I finally come full circle to the realization that this explicitly typed out dream comes true, I will then turn this song immediately and feel as satisfied as I do now listening to it.

[@jellyhammer9372]

this cartoon made my childhood

[@terrenceswiff]

This is delightful

[@awit257]

sooooo good, a sip of nostalgia

[@703Inc]

everyone needs to listen to this!

[@WakoDoodle]

Glad the series finale 2 part special is coming out soon. I can't wait for the series to be revived with re-runs to prepare for the new finale special; the 90's were the best :D Cartoons that taught us without being too silly, stupid or in your face; technology and internet were on the rise and new cultures such as anime were discovered and accepted. The fact things like wi-fi and handheld games; stuff people take for granted were born from the 90's is really enough to show how big they were. Anyone remember the cathode-ray tv's and the loud modem boot ups for windows 95 or even windows 3? Ah childhood. Even at the age of 3 I used a pc (mostly for paint and warcraft 2) was a good time. ^^

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

SAME HERE! i just used the computer for paint and the paper airplane game lol

[@pleasantdonovan]

Man I hope you liked the movie that finished the series off

[@arapnator17]

What happened to cartoons? Some can still be funny, but they just don't have that flare anymore. 90's cartoons like Hey Arnold resonated with people in a really unique way that most cartoons after the turn of the century weren't able to emulate.

[@bingo__bongo]

+arapnator17 actually you should check out cartoons like adventure time and gravity falls. In many respects, they are much better than 90's cartoons. Don't let your nostalgia form you opinion. Cartoons are getting a lot better now, they have much more imagination to them and many of them are not limited by old cliches and stories. I'm not saying Hey Arnold is bad, I love it in fact.

[@DerpTrollson]

+Soupy Soup are you seriusly doing this comparison?

[@bingo__bongo]

Derp Trollson yes, why? Do you have anything against these cartoons?

[@bingo__bongo]

Danilo Santos nice

[@nietzsche688]

+Soupy Soup Adventure Time is like an acid trip; Gravity Falls has an amazing back story, and it might be better than a lot of the 90's cartoons, but it isn't better than Hey Arnold, IMHO. I would say Cartoons were a lot more human than today. Adventure Time has the intention of sending a message of humanity, but it gets lost in all that LSD thing they draw. I mean: I get the message, but do younger kids get it?

[@tauwilltriumph]

Wow. Some of the best music I've ever heard. I love you.

Classic stuff here for a kids cartoon

[@asianwannabeamerican]

JAZZ. Acid Jazz. You would probably like Funk/Afrobeat, which is pretty similar. Look up "Gramps the Vamp St. Fawz" or Lettuce or Budos Band if you want to hear what Funk/Afrobeat sounds like. You could also try listening to Vanessa Montilla. I know I'm giving you a little much but it's something to get you started.

[@paulothomaz6916]

Cadê os Br que viam o hey arnold na nick? Lembro que esse desenho sempre tinha uma lição de vida importante! Ainda bem que nós vimos e aprendemos! Abs!

[@retpolanne]

Um aqui o/ Hey Arnold era muito bom. O tipo de desenho que você tem que assistir quando é criança e quando é adulto.

[@VitorSilva-mm6fk]

+Vini M. uma pena os desenhos de hoje serem muito sem sentido e chato

[@retpolanne]

Vitor Silva ah cara, alguns. Outros são bem legais. Tem um certo legado na animação atual

[@VitorSilva-mm6fk]

+Vini M. eu acho a maioria muito politicamente correto, sem dar importância pra história e sim maluquices megalomaníacas

[@retpolanne]

Vitor Silva depende do desenho. Hora de Aventura por exemplo não é tão politicamente correto

[@joaoflaviocavalcanti73]

Oh shit, man...How I miss my childhood. Everyday after the school, my mom used to prepare a nice lunch and take it to my bed, and while i was eating i saw hey arnold....how i miss the easy life of a child :'(

[@loadingusername3348]

Man this is great

[@Gorillaverde]

A masterpiece actually...

[@ZeranZeran]

Hey Arnold is the reason I like elevator music. and i'm okay with it. This sounds great.

[@MrDemianTV]

It's called Jazz. You like Jazz?

[@ZeranZeran]

YEEEE BOIIIIIII

[@ZeranZeran]

For real though Hey Arnold and Jim Lang did give me a huge appreciation for jazz music, and their musicians. I often listen to older jazz, and most of the musicians I listen to today have that influence as well. Nujabes, Flylo, Kendrick, , I think it's part of the reason I love TPAB so much too. Jaz is the shit.

[@sweederlander]

tttDye6ottt "can someone tell me what kind of music genre is this..??" I know it's been a year since you wrote that, but the genre is Jazz-Funk. Look up Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters.

[@nietzsche688]

+sweederlander someone told me it's acid jazz. I honestly can't tell what is it.

[@catalystdrums123]

+Gabo Palacios Jazz-fusion is also a viable genre designation

[@naga983]

Ha the "Four" quote

[@Chamuga9563]

I need help. At 3:09 there is a moking melody. I know we all have heard it before (I think it also appears in the chorus of we are the champions. Exactly in the part of "no time for losers" ) I need to know whats that melody called and in what other songs it appear. It's like "the lick". This haunts me. PD: Really nice rendition of Stompin. Always come back to this particular recording

None of those. Its more like funk-jazz fusion. Maybe acid jazz or nu jazz. Hard to say.

Great a drummer, OK saxophonist... keyboardist should study his instrument a bit before he records stuff like this though. It sounds great, just could sound better with practice I think! Saxophone shouldn't cut the notes off so abruptly, let them go gently!
