Okay, maybe not the greatest rock record of all time, but Judy Jetson's favorite fer sure.
And I think we can also agree that Judy's dad George's opening drum solo rules.
In all seriousnes, I have not been able to determine who actually sang and played on EOE (an uncomfirmed rumor has it that the vocals were by Mel Brooks alumnus Howie Morris), but we do know that it was in fact co-written by the great William Hanna-Joseph Barbera team who created The Jetsons and much, much more.,
I would also be remiss if I didn't post this 1995 cover version by The Violent Femmes.
Pretty fab, and I should add that it derives from the unaccountably forgotten compilation album Saturday Morning Cartoons Greatest Hits, which also features a version of "The Banana Splits Song" by Liz Phair(!) and Material Issue(!!) that really IS one of the greatest rock records of all time. But that's a subject for a future post.

I agree about the Liz Phair/Material Issue cover of "The Banana Splits Song". Phair and company's video for the song, which should be on YouTube, is great fun, too. From the same compilation, I also like Matthew Sweet's version of "The Scooby Doo Song."
catchy for sure. also check out material by They Might Be Giants who have 5 albums of children's material that is so clever as to appeal to adults too.

The Dickies also did a version on their Killer Klowns From Outer Space EP.
That is either Howard Morris or Ernest T. Bass, fer sure.
The line between Power Pop and Bubblegum continues to blur...
Reminds me of Saturday Morning Cartoons (The Rubinoos):
