Wouldn't most people know it if they were old enough to remember when Cartoon Network aired classic cartoons and had that as the running theme? Just goes to show that you can go a long time hearing a song and not know anything about it, including the title. Sorry if that sounds snobby, but it is true.

Cartoon Network's first era back when it just aired classic cartoons was called The "Powerhouse" era, mostly because it played a lot as part of "We'll Be Right Back"/"Back to the Show" bumpers and station IDs that remind viewers what channel they're watching.
Such a versatile song! It's good for racing somewhere fast, stomping somewhere quickly, complex industrial structures and also random acts of violence!

Besides his music already being familiar to almost everyone, Raymond Scott deserves to be recognized as one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. He even pioneered electronic pop music by building his own synthesizers in the 1950s
It was also played in "Ren & Stimpy" when John K. bought the rights to Raymond Scott's original music scores. "Powerhouse" by Raymond Scott from 1937 particularly appears on the cartoon "Mad Dog Hoek", when Ren & Stimpy play unlikely tag team wrestling partners.
Puss N' Booty, I'd say, was similar/inspired by but distinct from. Thanks for posting this, along with everyone I was looking forward to you tackling this one!
5:00 and 7:02 Baby Bottleneck and The Great Piggy Bank Robbery had the best uses of Powerhouse in my opinion! I love how the scenes featuring the song are in different tempos each time! Also, I love the animations of the baby turtle scooping up the milk from his shell with a bucket and Daffy answering the phones about the Piggy Banks.
I love Baby Bottleneck there is just something about Daffy Duck and Porky Pig getting caught and turned into a Newborn Hybrid Baby Boy for a Mother Gorilla that makes me wish that I would to have that happen to me but without being packed into another person.

Yea he did too but in this case y'know Carl Stalling was the one who picked powerhouse for the cartoons and franklyn arranged it but later when Stalling retired he respectfully kept using the song like Carl used to do
Hey, just letting you know that you misheard what Elmer Fudd said when he questioned what year he’s in after he's flung into the future in "The Old Grey Hare" from 1944. 3:58 "Hey, what year is this?" *picks up newspaper and reads year* "2000 A.D.!? Gracious!"
So this is the song that I always heard. It's called PowerHouse. Watching cartoons on Weekends Morning take me back when I was still a kid.....😅 At 9:05 a perfect cut.... I....😅
11:55 is exactly how my brother Jake whines everytime I put ice cubes down his pants splash a bucket of ice cold water when he refuses to get out of bed or the couch when it came to him doing his chores in the summertime
All are great of course, but I really like the pizzicato arrangement in Yankee Dood It (specifically 23:20-23:27), and the more jazzy one in Lighter Than Hare- the latter of which was used as part of the closing montage in That's All Folks!: Tales From Termite Terrace.
There’s something kind of unintentionally melancholic about the last time “Powerhouse” was played in the original LT run was also the last short Milt Franklyn composed on before he died of a heart attack.
what is the song that starts to play a bit after 20 seconds in and sounds kinda like its about stuff going on in a factory. ive been looking for that for years but i have no idea what the name is
I'd like to see one for the opening chorus ("Proč bychom se netěšili") of Smetana's "The Bartered Bride," which I believe was common in the Road Runner cartoons and is certainly used in "Piker's Peak."

Raymond Scott was a staff writer when he wrote this. his copyright and publishing went to WB, and he never made any residuals from it. if he did, he would have been very wealthy. another early corporate greedy mf'rs.
_Yankee Dood-It_ was made during the New Deal to teach people about how businesses and the economy worked. Other cartoons that did that were _Heir Conditioned_ and _By Word of Mouse._ I do agree that if the haves invested their capital instead of hoarding it, the U.S. would have stayed innovative and fixed up its infrastructure.
We now return to today's edition of "Oh, so _THAT'S_ what that's called!"
Exactly what I thought!

No wonder CN back in the day dedicated an entre ERA to these songs...so goated. Loved the Powerhouse Era. Old Cn ftw! Looney tunes ftw!
It's funny that some of my personal favourites, not to mention my earliest cartoon memories, used _Powerhouse._ 😂 Great tune. So iconic.
No, no No NO NO NOT HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOT HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Well, here we are. The big one.
So this was what inspired Cartoon Network’s powerhouse bumpers… the “powerhouse” song in Looney Tunes
I remember those bumpers
I know, I’ve seen the powerhouse bumpers for the Powerpuff Girls (the original one), as well as Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, and Dexter’s Lab
and Madness Combat too...
Powerhouse Cartoon Network is like Attitude Era of cartoons

4:02 Bing Crosby's Horse Hasn't Come In Yet !!! Bings bangtail bungles badly in home stretch ......... that was a running joke back in the day.
Behold the most famous music ever.
believe it or not, it also played in a Spongebob episode called "broken alarm"

FINALLY!! I CAN QUOTE ANY LINE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SONG!!
"I'll do it, but I'll probably hate myself in the morning."
Amazing datailed and well done compilation! A colossal task indeed! Thanks a lot!
Bugs Bunny: I’ll do it, but I’ll probably hate myself in the morning.
"What year is this?
2018!?"
Me now in 2024...
Hey, just letting you know that you misheard what Elmer Fudd said when he questioned what year he’s in after he's flung into the future in "The Old Grey Hare" from 1944.
3:58
"Hey, what year is this?"
*picks up newspaper and reads year*
"2000 A.D.!? Gracious!"
Powerhouse was played in the Looney Tunes Cartoons short Bonehead where the Russian Dog pursues Bugs Bunny underground.
fudd lived long enough to witness 2018
"I'll do it.......but I'll probably hate myself in the morning" Been there lol.
This sounds super demanding on the orchestra
So this is the song that I always heard. It's called PowerHouse. Watching cartoons on Weekends Morning take me back when I was still a kid.....😅 At 9:05 a perfect cut.... I....😅
I'm watching this video and can't stop laughing! (22:26) Anyone else still laughing like me, hit that haha button! 😂
Nice tribute to Raymond Scott.
Now I gotta go listen to "La Villa Strangiato"... for the zillionth time!
What we’ve all been waiting for
That music in "Lighter than Hare" is Powerhouse indeed (no other soundalike music).
My all time favorite is the bit with the chickens in "Swooner Crooner" at 2:41.
18:23 When Duck dodgers was actually competent.
POWERHOUSE Among the Most Heard & Most Famous Songs of Looney Tunes. Thanks For Posting .🤩🤩🤩
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Another being _Merry Go Round Broke Down._
I've always loved this tune.....I can't figure out why.......
Thing is, I instantly remembered the music just from reading the title for this one. 👍
Brings back memories.
when i was little i always associated this song with factories. also 8:04 is my favorite use of powerhouse
Hearing this music I’ve heard this on Looney Tunes Back in Action
11:55 is exactly how my brother Jake whines everytime I put ice cubes down his pants splash a bucket of ice cold water when he refuses to get out of bed or the couch when it came to him doing his chores in the summertime
The Insanity Song of Looney Tunes.
I rhink of it as the factory song
To me, this was always the Acme theme.
I like the cat and bulldog, all I can think of its the NOT THE THINKER
Ah, memories! Thanks to Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn, born in lost generation!
or as I used to call it, the Rubie Goldberg Machine music
All are great of course, but I really like the pizzicato arrangement in Yankee Dood It (specifically 23:20-23:27), and the more jazzy one in Lighter Than Hare- the latter of which was used as part of the closing montage in That's All Folks!: Tales From Termite Terrace.
13:09 It would seem that the bird is smarter than the cat or the dog.
I'm sure a lot of people were waiting for this one
FINALLY!!!
You should do every time "home sweet home" was used in looney tunes next
Perfect !!! Thank You !!!!!

Why didn’t the cat just drop the gunpowder barrel once he was out of sight of the dog?

That be the grey bulldog theme
so what is the reason that disney did not ever use this song in their own cartoons?
James Horner tried damned hard to use it for title music in "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" and got bitten for it.
I hear they used it in a Simpson cartoon or two.
@danielevans6816 Yes but I think it was before Disney bought Fox.
They probably didn't want to pay for royalties or the license to use it.
