THE CARTOON CRYPT

I don’t know who performs it in the cartoon… if you do, please let me know in the comments and I’ll update this post. I’ve extracted the song to an mp3, which you can download here.

Unfortunately, the print of this one is particularly beat up, so it is only included in the “Lost Episodes” documentary on the disc rather than being easily available from the main menu.
