Mai Tunes: Pinky and the Brain Christmas Special

It is the eve of Christmas, and we figured we’d celebrate with some festive Christmas music. While it isn’t something that happens all the time, some shows go the extra distance with their Christmas specials and actually re-work the title song/opening sequence to be a bit more festive. One such show is Pinky and the …

Mai Tunes: Care Bears

Today, I just picked a cartoon at random after getting a random letter from a friend. This may be the first time that my memory is playing tricks on me. I picked Care Bears, and went to Youtube as usual to find the most popular intro/theme song for the series, and the two I found …

Mai Tunes: Mighty Max

This one is a bit of a stretch, and just the odd ways my brain works at times. Last night, I read that Disney is set to reboot Max Steel. A franchise I have no real connection to, but I do love reading animation news. But before I saw the trailer, I was trying to …

Mai Tunes: Bucky O’Hara

Sometimes news just goes completely under everyone’s radar.. or at least the vast majority of the world. Somewhere between the Man of Steel trailer and Gail Simone being dropped from Batgirl, DC also announced that Captain Carrot would be making his new 52 debut in Threshold 3.

Mai Tunes: Pro Stars Theme Song

I’m in a sporting mood this morning. Partially because I’m going to the playoffs in my Fantasy Football league, partially because it was kind of the lead story in last night’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and because random pictures of Bo Jackson popped up over the weekend.
