The Cartoon Song is a contemporary Christian song by artist Chris Rice. It is a popular song, often played on Christian radio stations, though not often for worship services. It is unusual in that it includes mention of many popular cartoon shows in the United States. This track has received a lot of criticism from the Christian community, due to the theology of cartoon's being saved, but Chris Rice says "Also, in correcting my 'theology' in the cartoon song, people were totally missing the fact that the whole song is about soul-less cartoons, none of whom can 'get saved.'" [1] [2]
[edit] Hidden track
Chris Rice's official site FAQ states that the cartoon song is a hidden track on Chris's "Past The Edges" CD. It is not on the cassette tape. It is after about two minutes of silence. [3]
The printed music for Cartoons is available in the vocal folio books, "A Night in Rocketown" and "WOW 2000 Songbook." from Word Music, It was notably included on the WOW 2000 CD's which is a collection of the most popular hits of that year.
[edit] Lyrics
The song reflects on what if cartoons got saved? If so, they would start singing praise in new way.
Fred and Wilma Flintstone would sing ya-ba-daba-lujah
Scooby-do and Shaggy would sing scooby-do-be-lujah
Jetson's dog named Astro would sing ra-ra-ru-jah
The song also mentions the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Kermit the Frog here, and Elmer Fudd
