Saturn Commercial with "Pixie and Dixie" music (Hanna barbera)

Back in 1993 or solm there was a very amusing Saturn ad, one of the LAST uses of the music of "John Seely Assocviates",aka "Capitol Production Media Music', aka "Ole George/OGM Media Music", which soon (c.1995?) allegedly sold the rights out.

The tune, supposedly composed by a "George Hormel", (one of the most prolfic compsoers and the creator of some of the most memroable tunes me of the more memorbale tunes used in amny televiison cartoons shows of the 50s using this famous production library) Records/33-1/3 r.p.m.,circa 1955, or 1956, L-4),from there,is catalogued as "Fast Movement #4-ZR-48", out of "Metropolitan Movement"Capitol Records, (Capitol 33-1/3/L-4),and is one of many cues gfrom that famous library that is used in, say, Gumby, Dennuis the and is often heard in Gumby, Dennis the Menac,e and most early pre-1960 Hanna-Barbera productions of early Hanna Barbera shorts save of course the trilogy that comprised Quick Draw McGraw (IQuick Draw, Super Snooper and Blabber, and Augie Doggie),which had different library music mostly.

If have Warner Home Video Huckleberry Hound, 1958, and watch episodes "Little Birdmouse' (It's used there throughout,it's the song at the very end, and is in "Mark of the mouse',also with those miserable "Meeces", the Huckleberry Hound shorts "Sheriff Huckleberry" and whatver that one where the sometimes used French Canadian villianous character, "Powerful Pierre" and Huck compete in skiiing-in fact, it's called also "Water Skis"--see below, and elsewhere, second season of Hanna Barbera's blue pooch had that tune used when Huckleberry "injures an injun". Whoops..I meant Native American..)

It's one of many cues commonly used at the time on many shows and even in pubklicv palces,for a pleasant fee (pleasant to John Seely and Capitol,at least!)

It's am ver fast symphonic cue, very tuneful and fast!-and constnatly modulating..it';s in the ad where you see various largely Middle American background and some rather folksy voice (rather like that Energizer voice) says, everywhere ya go..THERE's a Saturn. '(or something to that effect)

Other composers were, say,Biill Loose, Spencer Moore, Phil GReen, Henry RUssl, Mahlon Merrick, Emil Cadkin,, Lou DFrancesco, King Palmer, Jack Meakin, Jack Shaindlin, Jack Cookerly, Ed Lund, Roger Roger, and Harry Bluetstone (whi;s usually TEAMED with Cadkin), Jack Belasco, and Dave Buttolph.

BTW THat cue originated in the UK Syncro Library credited to the more well known (cited above lirbary) John Seely's titular head and partner Bill Loose there! (the Librayr lorigjn ated as a unpreteniosu 1940s sserrvic e of the then new Capi9tll Records and as more produciton libraries comepted for the makret Cpaitol,a s a now major labnel, offered them and created new music,as a short form explanation.)
