13 Cartoon Theme Songs That Will Get Stuck In Your Head

Your musical horizons probably weren’t very broad when you were a kid. Some lame children’s tunes, whatever terrible pop music your older siblings happened to be listening to, and whatever you could sing while burping or play with armpit fart noises.

FLINTSTONES
Fred must have gotten horrific calluses from slamming on the brakes of his Cadirock Eldorockro … or whatever the hell it was called. He also must have been pissed that he was the star of the show, but his sidekick had the way hotter wife..
