The OST Party

Episode 40: Dispatches from Cartoon Planet

Listen Later

This week we're taking a break from Hellworld 2020 and returning to the comedy albums of our youth. Specifically, we're discussing Space Ghost's Musical Bar-B-Que and Space Ghost's Surf & Turf, the two soundtrack albums from Cartoon Network's Cartoon Planet.


For the unfamiliar, Cartoon Planet was the sister show to Space Ghost Coast to Coast, in which Space Ghost and his pals Brak and Zorak sing silly songs, perform comedy skits and just generally be goofballs. If you were young in the mid-to-late 90s, you probably stumbled across this show late at night and wondered what the hell you were watching.

On this episode, we cherrypick a few favorites from these albums, which is no small feat. Both albums together feature nearly fifty songs, so we're only scratching the surface! Believe it, buddy!
