Easily one of, if not the best animated series “The Animaniacs” was syndicated from what I remember and broadcast in the afternoons Monday through Friday. While I could easily go on and on about how subversive the humor of the series was (and still is) I want to focus on one of the other aspects thee show featured – it’s music.
Quite often “The Animaniacs” featured musical numbers, sometimes just a couple of lines long, sometimes full-blown songs. Because as part of children’s programming it necessitated a percentage of educational material, sometimes the songs would be decently informative.
Some songs were full of educational material, others, not so much.
It wasn’t just Yakko, Wakko and Dot who got into the act. Heck the show’s creators even had characters specifically for singing with Broadway star Bernadette Peters.
Oh, I’m sorry, did you want more educational material?
There were several albums released of songs from the series. I purchased them on cassette, which I still have. There are like, 4 or 5 of them. I would buy them again on CD or MP3 if they were available.
