Late Night Music Club with Phineas and the Ferbtones, featuring the Ferbettes
No, this is not an early April Fool's joke. Nicole Belle and I have chatted before about how Phineas and Ferb is one of the funniest shows on tee vee, and this is the number one most requested song from the show in a recent online poll. (I would have chosen Destroyed Dreams for its amazing Bollywood parody but that's me.) It's impressive that a half-hour kid's cartoon has a full-length song incorporated into the plot of every episode. And there's a reason this show re-airs at 9:30 at night...for the grownups, dude.
you're right! My husband and I have found ourselves watching after the kiddo goes to bed. He does a mean Doofenschmirtz impression, too! Great pop culture references, and this episode is one of my faves. Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today! Where's Perry?
...as Dr. Doofenschmirtz for Halloween! Just one question, though...
Hey, where's Perry?

Why yes. Yes I am.

I don't know this show, but I was always tuned in for Pee Wee Herman!!! I got my mom into it too. We're never too old.

in this damn park in the first place." OCCUPY.!!
Wow.
That's some well written, well performed, catchy, bouncy, listenable pop. Animation works as well.
Have to admit this is new to me (no kids under the age of 35). Who are these people?
to be seeing any Phineas and Ferb stuff. My grandson is only 7 (I am 57) and I have to pre-view his TV watching at my house, hence, my knowledge of the show. Hell, at least he graduated from Dexter's Laboratory (LOL).
I love Dexter's Laboratory. Especially the episode explaining how Mandark was raised by flower-children parents.

This is one of those songs that gets in my head and will not go away.

Any show where the villain has his own evil jingle is OK in my book.
Well if that wasn't one of the fiercely catchiest things I've heard in a while. I'll be listening to that on the way to work whether I want to or not, I think. And just because it looks like it's for kids doesn't mean there's nothing there for the big'uns, too.
On the topic of cartoons with musical numbers, I love Nerima Daikon Brothers, a sort of insane Japanese Blues Brothers parody. A solid 50% of each episode consists of assorted musical numbers, and a well-known singer with two or three decades of pop to his name is one of the leads.
It is also very, very not for kids.
What more would I expect from ex-Simpsons writers?
shows on teevee for the young ones! I'm secretly in love with Perry!
Doesn't Phineas have a hit song called, "I Gotta Splittin' Headache"?

In depth research, selfless devotion, far reaching issues!
It is THE BEST SHOW on television. My wife and I watch it with our kids all of the time.
The writing is very smart with running gags in each episode clearly aimed at the adults in the room. It reminds me of kinder gentler Seinfeld circa its third or fourth season (before the characters became caricatures).
