    Don't Forget Rocky and His Friends

    Not the oddly boring credits for the Sunday Bullwinkle show (what, did they think they were going mainstream?), but the one used on the previous twice a week after-school funfest. Rocket J. Squirrel zooms in and out of the other characters to the strains of an odd little tune that Danny Elfman, too, surely knows by heart

    Bom Bom Bom-Bom Bom-Bom

    Bom-Bom Bom-bom-bom BOM bom-bom

    Bom Bom Bom-Bom Bom-Bom

    Boddle-bom diddle-dee doo dEE-doo

    Bom Bom Bom-bom bom-BOM--

    Diddle-diddle-dee dum-dum!

    (brief cymbal crash)

    (commercial)

    Or maybe Elfman doesn't know it. Yes, I am old.
