Is it the cool and easy-going Pink Panther theme by Henry Mancini?:thinkpink Or how about the timless looney tunes intro.:bugs2: Tom and Jerry's :tomcat: :jerry: :twoshoes: short but sweet opening. Is it Dudley Do-Right riding his horse to the trumpet in the background.
These or any others you can think of, and really enjoy!

I would have to say "the Inspector" by Henry Mancini. I also liked his "A shot in the dark" which is the mother theme of the "the Inspector". It is a less popular theme than his "Pink Panther" but I still think that the "A shot in the dark" remains his beat

The Inspector theme

That one was originally used as the theme to the second Clouseau movie, A Shot in the Dark. It's probably my favorite Mancini composition.

"The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down"/"Merrily We Roll Along": Timeless classics.

"The Pink Panther Theme": Nice to see a cartoon series with a jazz theme song. The extended version used in the movie openings is even better.

"Tom and Jerry": Just lively and a lot of fun.
