songs from animated films / cartoons

[Vic Sage]

I'm helping a friend compile a list of good songs originally presented in cartoons or animated features, but NOT including Disney stuff.

She's putting together a cabaret piece, a "cartoon cabaret" as it were, so they should be songs appropriate for a one female performer to sing. Anybody have any suggestions? This is what i have so far:

For some reason, "My World is Beginning Today" has been cut in recent years from Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

You can take quite a bit from Yellow Submarine or Heavy Metal, though much of those are borrowed material.

"Spider-Man Theme" from Spider-Man
"Way-Out" from The Flinstones
"Trogdor, the Burniator" from Homestar Runner
"Inside Outside Upside Down" from Josie and the Pussycats
"Do a Half-Assed Job" from The Simpsons
"Sugar Sugar" or "Bang-Shang a-Lang" from the Archies
"Laugh Laugh" by the Beau Brummelstones on the Flintstones

'Prince of Egypt' wasn't Disney?

[Vic Sage]

no, it was Dreamworks/Spielberg

One female perfomer... "When Emily Loved Me" from Toy Story II. The same-sex chicks will love it.

There's several other female-vocal songs from the Sherry Bobbins episode of The Simpsons.

The Lurleen Lumpkin episode has "I'm Basting a Turkey with My Tears" and "Don't Look Up My Dress Unless You Mean It," among others.

I assume that the Pixar films have the Disney taint? Too bad.

When it comes to TV cartoon theme songs, some favorites of mine include "Underdog" and "Magilla Gorilla."
