I remember being in here a lot:

For those not in the know, Cartoon Network used to make these awesome music videos called Groovies in the late 90s and early 2000s that completely rocked the house. I just found a bunch of these online and have to post them. So I guess ITT: we whack off to how awesome these were.



First one I saw and still my favorite because of the darker song combined with exaggerated cartoon expressions.



Back before the world cared what Jpop/Jrock was, Cartoon Network cared.



Another one of my favorites that I've been singing for years and could never remember where it was from.



Cartoon Network also had a bunch of original remixes of old cartoons.



Also like this one.



Sometimes they got the band to make a new song for the series.



I think RetroForce Go! fans will recognize this song!



God, Loony Tunes rocked.



Groovies even made Ed, Edd, and Eddy kinda good.



There was also the occasional live-action excursion.



I think this is the last one I'll post, even though there are some more cool ones out there. You can see more at this guy's YouTube page, and you really should, since I still skipped over a bunch of good ones, even if a few later ones weren't all that good.



Is this blog awesome? Vote it up!

I hate that they use "Signal In The Sky" in some phone commercial. Makes me miss all the good CN shows :(
I completely forgot about these things. Im at work at the moment but definately gonna give these a listen later on.
i remember these. my fav is the ed edd and eddy one.
you forgot
"Josie and the Pussycats" Musical Evolution.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrJsm0Qd0sA
That first one is amazing! Lol at the Blitzkrieg Puffs and wabbits never get old.
I miss that they don't make these anymore. Occasionally they'll show some of the old ones on Boomerang, though.
I had no idea Mike Doughty was the lead singer of Soul Coughing until I watched/listened to the "Circles" one. Awesome finds.
Good stuff, Necros

Makes me miss the days when CN still had good shows.
I remember these.....Good times, good times.
I always liked the Jabberjaw one.

"Who's gonna talk like Curly, since Curly isn't here?"
I feel sorry for kids today.
zomg I remember these!

Such good times watching CN.
These and the videos on Toonami were about the only music videos I ever watched.
I completely forgot about these. Completely amazing.

Cartoon Network really sucks these days.
@RonBurgandy2010: Me too, my friend. Me too.

Also, that Superfriends intro just doesn't sound the same without "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...welcome!"

I'm going to go watch Pinky and The Brain now.
Holy fuck Shipero, how did I miss posting the Jabberjaw one? Win. Damn me rushing off to work, or else I would have posted more.
Cartoon Network does suck... whatever happened to their "we will NEVER air a live action show" moto? I love adult swim, but they no doubt paved the way for live action shows with some of the retarded programing they put on there. Tim and Eric can go to hell.

Granted they have to create new cartoons, but even the ones that have now are garbage compared to the stuff Gendy made originally. Dexter's Lab, Power Puff Girls, Samurai Jack, Courage, Ed, Edd, and Eddy... bah. I have the internet.
Shipero, a while back that "Jabberjaw" short actually got me to check out the band Pain who did the song. Really good band, in my opinion...


This was when Cartoon Network was awesome..
awesome stuff. I do love the Ed Edd and Eddy, Jabberjaw, Josie and the Pussycats, the Mogilla Gorilla, and Dexter ones alot. Hell they're all good though.

Too bad Boomerang's becoming too much like Cartoon Network of now. Less old school stuff and too current stuff. Remember it was just Hanna Barbera cartoons?
That first video is excellent, and Michael Kohler is a fantastic remixer.
Goddamn. I remember these. My favorites were always the two Powerpuff Girls ones.
I loved these so much, I'm watching all of them once I get home.
AMAZING
I liked the TMBG original version of Courage the Cowardly Dog. It was a catchy tune.
Thank you so much for posting these!
Dude, Necros. I love you so hardcore right now for reminding me of these.
