Title: SPC Background Music and Cues - Track Titles
Post by: ANE on June 29, 2010, 08:35:46 pm
Hello again,

Following on from an older thread...
I sniffed around the two big publishing sites also one time for SPC music info.  I forgot which one (BMI or ASCAP) had the info, but WEA Music Group's publishing arm, Warner-Tamerlane was listed.

And from the back of the UK VHS video...:
(http://www.zwnbsp.com/spc/SamuraiPizzaCats(EUKV3007)Box.jpg)
 
...I had a "quick" look to see what Pizza Cat info could be found.
You have three musical companies here:
  • Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp. is now known as Warner/Chappell Music, Inc. (http://www.warnerchappell.com/)
  • BMI is Broadcast Music, Inc. (http://www.bmi.com), who collect the money and pass it on to the publisher.
  • SACEM (http://www.sacem.fr/cms/site/en) is another collections agency, based in France

So with these three sites, and a bit of guess work - BGM track titles!:
N.B. Titles are [sic] throughout
  • Al Dente's Anatomy
  • Anchovy Flute
  • Bad Bird And Robot
  • Bad Bird And Robot Togeth(er again)
  • Bad Bird Rowed The Boat Ashore
  • Bad Bird,Bad Singing
  • Bad Bird's Finale
  • Bad Cheese Jive
  • Blowing Up With People
  • CATS LAND ON THEIR FEET
  • Chees Flute
  • Cheesy Dance
  • Cheesy Geisha
  • Cool Cats
  • EMPEROR SINGS
  • Emperor's Scat
  • Francine's Cheer
  • Get Off My Tail
  • GIMME PIZZA
  • Guido Whistles
  • Guido's Virtuoso
  • Heavy Metal Pizza Kitty 
  • Hold The Anchovies Ballad
  • Kitties A Changin'
  • Magic Flute
  • Magic Flute Rap
  • MASKED PIZZA
  • MYSTERY KITTY
  • NINJA BOOGIE FEVER
  • Ninja Crow Rap
  • Passion Flute
  • Pepperoni Flute
  • Pizza Flute
  • Pizza Pizza   
  • Polly's Bugle And The Passion (Flute)
  • Polyester's Bugle
  • Real Cheesy Music
  • Robot Of The Week
  • Samurai Cowboy
  • Samurai Limbo
  • Samurai Pitza Cats Theme?:|
  • Samurai Pizza Cats
  • Samurai Pizza Cats Closing Theme
  • Samurai Pizza Cats Opening Theme
  • SAMURAI PIZZA CATS-BG CUES
  • SAMURAI SINGING SENSATION
  • Samurai Snake Charmer 
  • SAMURAI WITCH CHANT
  • Samurai Witch Dance
  • Samuri Pizza Cats (cues)
  • Say Cheese
  • Strange Samurai Noise
  • Sweet Samurai Lullabye
  • Ta Daa
  • The Samurai Pizza Cat Oath
  • Totally Hidden Pizza Cats 


All are credited to Haim Saban and Shuki Levy except "Cats Land On Their Feet" (Haim Saban/Shuki Levy/Andrew R Muson), and Samurai Pizza Cats (Haim Saban/Shuki Levy/Alain Garcia)

( Guido (?:|) marks a puzzle: this is credited to Hoderov Avner and Sidi Ziv)

Now with 3909 titles credited to Shuki Levy, it is possible one or two have been left off the above list. Also, as Mr Levy did the music for "Space Cats" and "Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation", the above list may have some extras which don't belong there. Messrs Saban and Levy have also used aliases in the past (see  here (http://www.rangerboard.com/showthread.php?t=136827&page=5), post #82 and 98)

The above sites are just directories, so there are no files to download or stuff like that. Also, Warner/Chappel are the Publisher, but Saban Music Group (http://www.saban.com/html/music.html) are still the owners of the tunes (the "label").

Right then, there's something to chew on.

Wow, really interesting. Nice research. Now if only they'd release them all on a soundtrack set... :P

This is interesting. But are there really that much (56 titles in the list) tracks are used?
But even if it is - it is still no match for KNT music tracks quantity.

And what about the "Finishing move" (Hissatsu in KNT) BGM? Is it present?

Wait, are these official titles or did you just make them up yourself?? :O If you did, they're hilarious! I think "Hold The Anchovies Ballad" is my favorite, but it's hard to choose! BTW, a couple typos: "Chees Flute" and "Polyester's Bugle"

Agreed 100% that there should be a soundtrack, but that would be even rarer than a full set of official English DVDs at this point. :\

I'm pretty sure there are this much, when I tried to make them out of the episodes I found something like 35 soundtracks the 1st 5 episodes....

...dodgy spelling and all. I suspect some mistyping or a list has been scanned/OCR'd with the errors added in then. It's then never corrected and gets spread to other databases.
("SLIMMER AND THE REAL GHOSTBUST" is a good non-Pizza Cats example of this  :D)

This is interesting. But are there really that much (56 titles in the list) tracks are used?

I'll take a guess that some ("Ninja Crow Rap") are used only once or twice and some in every episode. "Totally Hidden Pizza Cats" may be the theme you hear when the cats have their Extra-Topping Armour on.

And what about the "Finishing move" (Hissatsu in KNT) BGM? Is it present?
It could be in the above list, it could be in the other 3000 or so other titles; the list above are just the titles credited to Shuki Levy that on first glance are associated with SPC (Cats, Crows, Pizza, Samurai and so on).
Guessing again, I'd say it is in there somewhere.
Can anyone with a script from SPC check if it mentions the names of the music tracks used in an episode? I have a feeling they won't but it's worth a shot.

Wow, really interesting. Nice research. Now if only they'd release them all on a soundtrack set... :P
Thanks! And yes Saban Music Group should release a big box-set make an download album of all Cartoon Music Intros and BGM's.
With the new Saban Brands company, and them buying back Power Rangers I suppose anything is possible.

(And my favourite? "Heavy Metal Pizza Kitty"  8))
