One Of My All Time Faves

I used to love this show as a kid. I remember many Saturday mornings watching the adventures of these guys, along with Frankenstein Jr. I always found it cool how their stage converted into a flying car, boat, or submarine as needed. And their guitars having TV monitor's for contacting their boss - big D. I've seen the classic cartoon running on TV in recent years and I find that I still enjoy it a lot. My young niece also considers it her favorite as well. One of the things I really love about the show was the great music. Part surf punk and part Merseybeat. You seldom hear more than a few snippets in the cartoons themselves though, and most of the songs seem to appear in at least 3 or more episodes. One song I love in particular might be called "Idy Idy Oooh" or something to that effect. I wish I knew who did the music for this show and if a soundtrack/novelty album was ever released. Or even if sheet music of this great music is available. This show really rocked. I'd give this thing a ten out of ten except it does not seem to have the complete series.
