Speed Racer is currently the movie fix in town. Unknown to many, it isn't an original but an adaptation of a Japanese cartoon (above pic). I used to watch it when I was young, back then, TV was a monochrome passtime...
My subsequent bump with Speed Racer was through the above CD which was a compilation of re-interpreted cartoon theme songs. The Speed Racer tune was covered by the grunge pop band, Sponge. I bought the CD not because of the Speed Racer attraction but this great CD featured
Mathew Sweet (Scooby Doo theme song) &
Juliana Hetfield (colab with Tanya Donnalay- Josie & the Pussycats theme song) whose vocals I was really into. Definitely one of my fav CDs from the '90s...
