Your Favorite Themes Remastered with ‘Soul Tunes’
There’s nothing quite like hearing the tune of one of your favorite cartoon shows to send a jolt of nostalgia right through your body. But anyone can line up a playlist of a bunch of cartoon themes, so DeStorm wanted to do something a bit different.
He’s used the power of multiple voice tracks to record a series of videos called “Soul Tunes” where he uses he R&B song stylings to cover the themes of many classic show themes. The first video above has Tailspin, Chip and Dale, Pinky and the Brain and more.
I’ve posted two more videos after the jump with even more tracks. Did he get your favorite?

Apart from getting a few lyrics wrong, this is hella-tight! This dude is really talented (singing and mixing).
[...] Some guy sings your favorite childhood themes, a cappella. Look, I hate to harp on such a cool idea that has been executed almost flawlessly, but if you’re going to go to the trouble of recording all those separate a cappella tracks, tuning them, layering them, dubbing what needs to be dubbed — not to mention doing several songs this way — wouldn’t you first make sure you’re singing the right lyrics??!?! It drives me CRAZY every time I hear this dude say “gunshoes” instead of “gumshoes” during the Chip and Dale theme song. What the fuck is a “gunshoe”, dude????(unrealitymag) [...]
I smiled the whole time I listened to this. I get what other people are saying about the wrong lyrics but overall it was awesome.
HOLY BALLS!!! DID HE REALLY DO CITIES OF GOLD!!! that is like my favorite cartoon theme ever. I LOVE THAT SONG. You rocked it man, great job.
BAH HUMBUG! No Animaniacs?? What a rip!
