OK, I'll do one - number 17. Dum dum dummmmmmm, bree-di-di deeee, di-di deeee, dee di-di-di deee, baaa baa babababaaa, tata tata tata teeee.... deee di-deee di-dee, deee di-deee di-dee, dee di-dee di-deee... etc.
Well, I've got a tune in my mind which would fit your number 17, Darren, but it won't give me its title! I'll get back to you (no doubt it'll come to me in the middle of my night). :-(
[Brendan] No, but good guess. Right format and genre, but better known. By the way, Bob the Dog did not quite replicate my posting accurately. In the first and third lines, the "paaah" in the middle of the line should be emphasised. This is important, as it is a syncopated rhythm. The "Waaaah-waaaah" at the end should also provide a clue. I reproduce the tune here: 12. Pa-pa-pa paah, paaah pa-pa-paaah pa pah-pah-pah-pah pah-pah-pah-pah pah-pada-paah Pa-pa-pa paaah, paaah pa-pa-paaah pa-pa-pa-pada-pa-pa-pa pah-pada paah Pa-pa-pa paaah, pa-pa-pa paaah da da Waaaaah-waaaah
I think we need some clues. Another bit of mine goes: Daa daaaa, da da-da-da daaaaaa, da daa daaaa, da da-da-da daaaaaaa, da daaaa, da da-da-da daa daaaa, da daa daaaa, da DA-DA-DA DAAAAAAA.
[Kim, rab] Ooooh - y'know ... I think rab has picked up the right clue. Weren't there TWO different Tom & Jerry productions? Each with its own tune? Is this the Fred Quimby one?
[rab] I can only surmise that you're either not listening to the tune properly (doubtful) or listening to the "other" tune, because, as Chalks says, this is the tune to the Tom & Jerry cartoons from the unsurpassed Fred Quimby. Joint honours to rab and Chalky! Sing it now with me: "Pa-pa-pa paaah, paaah pah-pa paaah...."
