Theme From "The Racoons" LOL

[VinylAnimal]

I think I should know this one, but I've been trying to remember the ID for a couple of weeks and I'm getting nowhere :'(

The sample is from a 1991 Vertigo tape, but I've heard it played out before by other DJ's. I remember it being a "big tune" back then so I reckon someone should be able to nail it :thumbsup:

It's a catchy tune alright, with a bloke's voice (kinda chanting) "To be or not to be, to be or not to be. That is the question, that is the question"

If anyone's old enough to remember "The Racoons" (the cartoon where an evil fukker called Cyril Snear kept trying to destroy the evergreen forest with factories and stuff) this tune sounds like a remix of the theme tune LOL :D

I've upped a sample here:

VA017 - To Be Or Not To Be (http://www.vinylanimal.btinternet.co.uk/oldskool/samples/unknown/va017.mp3)

And to compare, the Racoons theme is here....

The Racoons Theme (http://www.vinylanimal.btinternet.co.uk/oldskool/samples/temp/racoons.mp3)

The samples are mono so as not to exclude the 56K'ers ;)

As always, any help much appreciated !!! :king:

That's Acts of Madmen again I think, I ID'd it on another thread last week. Called "The Dream" if I remember rightly.

Lol. It's deffo Acts Of Madmen - The Dream. Massive warehouse tune. The only reason it's sounds like the racoon theme is your recording is so bad. It doesn't sound like that normally.

[Jonno]

Actually on second listen they are a bit similar.

[VinylAnimal]

Massive thanks for that gents :thumbsup:

I knew I should know the bugger - I've got it on a bootleg that's why it's so familiar :D

Was doing me fookin head in LOL :axe: :axe: I've been through me collection over and over looking for it - never thought to check me bootlegs :$

Cheers gents !!!

** VA toddles off to try find the bugger ** :D

came up in conversation last week this, not the tune but cyril sneer...the raccoons were well raccoons but what type of creature was cyril and the others..was it his grandkids or something who were friends with the raccoons..

i'm glad the acts of madmen doesn't really sound like that as that sample was quite disturbing! Does anyone remember another cartoony type tune that sounded like yogi bear saying "eeerrrr let's er take it from the top man" and a werid beat with kinda xylophone noises came in. v strange
