:w00t: I had been searching for the name of this factory-oriented music for a while, & just watched the Simpsons s6, v2 & it was on it, & the commentary even named it! :lol: This piece has 2 parts, one of which is used by just about every cartoon that has an assemby-line or factory scene in it. More recently, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids used it for the shrinking scene.
Raymond Scott was the composer, of both POWERHOUSE and other music used in many cartoons, especailly WB.

I have been there from time to time, but just now I noticed Cool McCool! I just put the series in my NETFLIX queue! :p Cool McCool was a kids' version of 007. Thanks for the reminder, Toni!
