Pop quiz: when’s Mom’s birthday? (Month, day, and year.)
Now, quick, where do the Gummi Bears bounce?
If you’re an average, red-blooded American between the ages of 18 and 30, you most likely just answered, “Um, March-ish?,” followed by an almost immediate, tuneful “Here and there and everywhere!”
It’s tragic, really. For every math formula forgotten, every anniversary that passes unremembered, and every pet ferret dead from starvation, there’s a cartoon theme song from our youth, tenaciously hogging our limited mental hard drive space. In what is perhaps some sort of small attempt to exorcise these demonically persistent tunes from the depths of our consciousness, we’ve ranked 15 of them through the highly technical and thoroughly researched process of writing down whichever ones we could remember/find on YouTube first. Enjoy.
