2SSM • 1980s Cartoon Themes

from Silver Screen Sound Machine · host Silver Screen Sound Machine

“Thundercats, Thundercats, Thundercats….HOOOOOO!!!” Dust off your VHS tapes and prepare for a nostalgia overload! In this episode, the boys dive headfirst into the gloriously over-the-top world of 1980s cartoon theme tunes. We’re talking heroic guitar riffs, synths that could power a small city, and lyrics that explain the entire plot before the first ad break. Among others, the chaps unravel the epic, thunderous drama of Thundercats (because subtlety was clearly illegal in the '80s), marvel at how Inspector Gadget made “go-go” sound like a legitimate strategy, and groove through the high-octane cool of M.A.S.K (where the theme song is somehow faster than the cars). Oh…and of course, we’ll take a deep dive into DuckTales, the only theme that can make you want to solve mysteries, manage a billionaire’s finances, and dance like Beyoncé at the same time. Expect big tunes, bigger nostalgia, and at least one co-host attempting a dramatic “DuckTales! AWoo-oo!” (badly).
