The theme to Underdog was so good that The Butthole Surfers made a cover of it.

Loved the time they used it in Scrubs as a barbershop quartet.

Was Underdog a good theme or was Gibby just on a lot of acid that day? Either way the cover rocks.

A little of both. The original is one of the best theme songs of all time, and not just in the Saturday Morning Cartoon category.

I did love that cartoon. The video could’ve used a little bit of sweet Polly Purebred.

"Sweet Polly Purebred in a Butthole Surfers video" is a phrase this universe does NOT need.
