This is Hello Spank, a cartoon I liked as a child. Please, listen to the music: does it remind you of another song/ tv show? ---

I don´t even need to click that to have the Udo Jürgens song in my ear. It´s funny because that intro and outro were taken from an actual short and since they cut several shorts together for that show and used that one as a framing device that particular one of course was never seen there. ---

At least I know I have seen it, might as well have been there. Though that would have felt weirdly meta. Another special thing was the added commentary (from Jerry´s view) that was spoken completly in rhymes. They did they same for Pink Panther in germany. And I´m sure you know who spoke the rhymes there. ---
