[edit] Raymond Scott

Several Ren and Stimpy episodes featured the frenetic jazz of Raymond Scott [1]. He has been called "arguably the most well-known and influential unknown composer since the 20th Century" [Steve Schneider]. Scott's music was used as theme music by many classic Warner Bros cartoons [2]. John K and Bob Camp's use of Scott's music is an example of their high regard for classic comedy/cartoons.

Some Raymond Scott compositions used in Ren and Stimpy include:

• "Powerhouse"
• "Moment Musical"
• "The Toy Trumpet"
• "Huckleberry Duck"
• "Manhattan Minuet"
• "Twilight in Turkey"
• "At an Arabian House Party"
• "War Dance for Wooden Indians"
• "In an 18th Century Drawing Room"
• "New Year's Eve in a Haunted House"

[edit] Production music

Ren and Stimpy also used several music cues from the 1950s-vintage "Hi-Q" library of production music from Capitol Records (the Hi-Q library being famous for having its cues also used in the film Night of the Living Dead), as well as additional cues from Associated Production Music's library used for the show as well.

[edit] Ren & Stimpy: Radio Daze

Released in September 1995 on the Rhino/Wea label, this album was not particularly well-received by fans of the series. Many viewed this album to be a "last-ditch" effort to squeeze every last drop of value from the show and its characters. Many characters and themes from the show (Muddy Mudskipper, Powdered Toast Man, hog jowls, hairballs, etc.) were seemingly "thrown" into a story that follows Ren and Stimpy as they inherit a failing radio station and try to transform it into something viable. Billy West provided the voices of both Ren and Stimpy. Track listing:

• Opening (spoken word between Ren and Stimpy)
• I Wanna Be a DJ (sung by Stimpy)
• Caller #5 (sung by the DJ)
• King of the Airwaves (sung by Ren)
• Is Anyone Out There (sung by Ren and Stimpy)
• On the Road (sung by Ren and Stimpy)
• Any Freeway You Take (sung by Ren)
• Hard Time (sung by Judge Stonewall)
• Powdered Toastman (sung by Ren and Stimpy)
• In Hollywood (sung by Ren and Stimpy)
• Take a Walk on the Muddy Side (sung by Muddy Mudskipper)
• Dead End Job (sung by Ren)
• Stuck With You (sung by Ren and Stimpy)
