Has The Splat reaired some of the music videos Nick made back in the 90s? Like this:

Or this:

If not... they need to.

The Splat's You Tube channel has "Splat Tracks" - compilations of the best musical moments of 90s Nick.

They have "Happy Happy Joy Joy," the Kilted Yaksmen song, the Muddy Mudskipper theme... even the Beets' "Bangin' on a Trash Can" and "I Need More Allowance." And the Rugrats Rap.

But where's the infinitely superior Rugrats Rock? Or "R-E-C-Y-C-L-E, Recycle"? Or "Beaver Fever"? "Cat Diggety Dog"? Mr. Hyunh's country song?

And there's probably more I haven't thought of... (Of course, you'll probably never hear "Pinwheel, pinwheel, spinning around / Look at my pinwheel and see what I found"...)

It's odd that they have other songs from The Angry Beavers but not "Beaver Fever." I don't know why. It was bigger than sliced bread!

Same as it did with its Halloween marathons: neutral.

Beaver Fever had a nice (and sort of Ear Wormy ) beat to it.

I don't think you could get away with a song like it in a modern cartoon. It's too damn funky.

On another note... I think we should consider Nick at Nite and its early years, when it was the channel that made reruns more than just a way to fill up time on TV schedules, the channel that made reruns cool:

@Nega King Kix (I spelled it right this time! tongue ): Rock on! You keep singing!

[up][up]Well, of course it's too funky more modern TV, it WAS on Disco-rama, the most Giccy Boss Groove Thang on the Tube!

We need a Nick-tunes CD, with all the best songs from Nicktoons.

Ya, I'm weird like that...

Such a CD does exist. There's two of them, in fact.

The first one, The Best of Nicktoons, was released in 1998 and had songs from every Nicktoon up to Cat Dog... Except Doug.

The second one, The Newest Nicktoons, was released in 2001 and had songs from the then-current Nicktoons, up to Invader Zim and The Fairly Odd Parents. This one has "Beaver Fever."

These should probably go pretty cheap, but if they don't, surely you can illegally download them somewhere.

No illegal downloads for me! I will just look at the local DVD/CD stores, there's a bunch around my town. Thanks for informing me, BTW.

Probably asked this before, but when is Welcome to the Wayne coming to TV? That series has a LOT OF potential.

[up][up] Both of them have long been out of print, but if you look, you'll be able to find them... Or just go on Amazon.

[up] You'd be surprised what my movie/CD stores carry! I'm sure they may have one or two copies left.

[up][up] That's the one with the plot of a kid living in a house of weirdness, right? Or am I thinking of something else?

Yeah, you're right about the weirdness, but it's an apartment, and It's like KND meets Wayside.

One interesting part at the end was the Post-Credits Scene, where we get a voice over from an Evil Brit stating that Olly and Ansi weren't supposed to become friends and "things are going to get complicated".

Sorry, weirdness in an apartment. smile As long as the weirdness is used in moderation (we don't need another lolsorandom show, IMO) I will give it a chance.

It isn't lolsorandom like other Nicktoons, it's actually pretty witty. One of my favorite bits was the Wtt W training video.
