I sat in a random pizza shop today and heard this playing and was so shocked to hear this song playing OUTSIDE of this old Cartoon Network clip. I didn't know anyone else on this planet even knew this song.
I had an old vhs of recorded cartoon network since I didn't have cable. This was on it and it just came on my spotify "discover weekly". Awesome coincidences lol.
I remember seeing this in December 1998, mid-day on a Saturday on Cartoon Network. Was totally mesmerized by it. Lyrics of the song hit way harder as an adult.
comment from the future (it's dark in here): i find it funny that i liked the song back then just as much as I do now. Just then i didnt get it (but got the whole "oh, they're going in a loop") but now get the entire song sort of
I was deep into this music, I really enjoyed that short based on the song alone. I had to have been 10 or so. When I learned what Soul Coughing was a decade later, I downloaded their entire discography. One of my favorites.
I love how every song from CN Groovies feel so "indie", like, for example the guitars are usually not perfectly tuned and gives the feeling of being a garage band, they're just fantastic 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I have for years just had to remember the names of these songs Never knowing they were a collection called CN Groovies!! Thank you so much for that!! I hope your days are filled with as much joy as this has brought me lol
This is that song, where unexpectedly - you entered the multiverse of nostalgia, and everyone else is exactly where they're supposed to be , including you .
I remember this little "music moment" coming on at like 2 am. Back in 2000 It would come on during or after the Toonami Midnight Run. Before adultswim was created, this was part of cartoon networks strategy to keep the interest of their aging audience
I kept saying "walk around in circles" for the longest time when I was like 6 years old. I only found this again like a year ago, and when I did it's like my entire 6 year old life just rushed back into memory. It's amazing how small things are capable of doing that.
Static Announcement dude I know it’s 5 years later, but I remember sitting in my grandparents living room, eating sour skittles and watching boomerang all day because he had this channel. So glad someone posted thid
Same for me, I always remembered the main part of the song but never the origin, when I was in kindergarten and first grade I would always sing the main part since I watched boomerang a lot.
Wow, it's crazy that when I young I only understood the hook, but I finally get it. It was a awesome era for cartoons for me and others. I don't think CN could bring back that history even if they try. There was something about being a kid at that time that just made everything great. I know all of people are saying that the kids of the recent era are missing out but really maybe they've got something already to cherish that we won't understand just like our parents didn't get too. Remember the good times guys just because is not on the airwaves doesn't me we haven't forgotten it
Brings a tear to my eye of my childhood long gone. I still collect and watch the shows I used to watch growing up. Alot of them really hold up well. The writing seemed so simple, but the underlying jokes were spot on. I really miss it. I hope in some alternate universe, the 90's never ended. The last great decade.
Nah. The 90s and early 2000s were the last good era. Everything. Even the moral ground we all took for granted. This generation will be the last generation. And everything is digital and gay. This era fucking sucks.
@@hollandtunnel1041 Die mad about it, I guess. The world's gonna go on without you and your childhood wasn't any better or more special than anyone else's. You dad complained about how "cassettes just don't have the same sound as records" and your grandad hated that recordings "ruined the value of live music," all the way back to the first caveman who grunted about how "fire no good for younglings, makes weak and stupid-bad."
@@hollandtunnel1041Agree, you can see and feel the societal decay reaching it's apex now, the songs and shows and artists have no lasting power and are either boring or full of degeneracy. What a sad state, thankfully we can relive our memories at least
This song is actually pretty accurate to represent these 60s cartoons. Because I don't know if any of you noticed a lot of times the characters in these shows looked like they were walking around circles because they would repeatedly pass the same items and setting.
@@pedrogabrielduarte4544 That's what happens when technology is more limited. But they made it work somehow, because they were geniuses like that. Reminds me of Metal Gear Solid 3 in that regard. Having the whole game take place in the 60's, 40+ years before the rest of the series, limited tech is just something you gotta deal with if you want to succeed. Yet we're able to wrack our brains and find solutions to problems that we can't rely on tech to solve for us.
This song reminds me of waking up at 3 am, 10 years old, my Mother was still alive, my Father was sober and a good man. Life was good, and I had a plethora of Nintendo 64 games
My dog just passed away yesterday.. I remember seeing this on TV with him sitting next to me on the sofa when I was little.. Those were the best days of my life.
One of the best things about early CN is they didn't have any real commercial breaks. Instead they had lots of stuff like this. If I remember right, breaks in the show were short and few, and longer stuff like this ran between shows. I definitely remember LOTS of fade-outs meant for ad breaks going right to the fade-in instead.
+Im Neebs I Killed Titanus...Twice Where I currently live, it might as well have been the 90's until the internet came around. literally nothing changed...
I love how a lot of the "throwback" Groovies had this kind of self-contemplative air about them. Sometimes it was more esoteric, like here where the whole thing is basically commentary on H-B's epidemic reuse of animation and walk cycles to bulk out runtime, and sometimes it was more direct. "Jabberjaw" being a direct commentary on the "Let's Try To Re-Release Scooby-Doo Seventeen Times" phenomenon, or "Meet The Flintstones" being basically a bunch of Flintstones trivia set over a remix.
From a time when Cartoon Network was producing some really great stuff. I miss those times. It and the anime seen on Adult Swim and Toonami made for a great day.
when ur dumb enough to think these barely moving cheaper than shit cartoons from the 50s are somehow better than the thoughtful well animated content CN puts out now
Myles i know, right!? hanna-barbera started the decades long trend of low quality cartoons. the only reason anything decent came up in the 90s is because someone at Nickelodeon decided to greenlight ren & stimpy and rockos modern life.
Something about this music/song, just brings a splash childhood memories. Tears flow down my face as I remember all the awesome times I had being a kid. Hanging out playing Smash Bros. 64 and watching cartoons. :'(
Right there with ya, bucko. Just remember that everything looks better in retrospect. 10 years from now you're gonna turn right now into some nostalgic wonderment. Trippy, I know.
Jake Tucker it really is. I mean the cartoon characters notice how when they walk straight, they seem to go back. that's one of the most clever things Cartoon Network has ever done
[Verse 1] When you were languishing in rooms I built to file you in And when the wind set down in funnel form and pulled you in [Refrain] I don't need to walk around in circles Walk around in circles, walk around in circles Walk around in Don't need to walk around in circles Walk around in circles, walk around in circles Walk around in [Verse 2] And when the ghostly dust of violence traces everything And when the gas runs out just wreck it, you insured the thing [Refrain] I don't need to walk around in circles Walk around in circles, walk around in circles Walk around in Don't need to walk around in circles Walk around in circles, walk around in circles Walk around in [Hook] X 4 Doom da doom da doom Well I'm going, I'm going
I've seen Soul Coughing live I've got autographs from Mike Dodi and I knew what the song is about but seeing my favorite childhood characters live it speaks volumes man old school Cartoon Network was something else
I remember in 2000 or 2001 my friend told me about this video, but we didn't have RU-vid or anything back then, so I just hoped I would see it. He made it seem really good. It was years later that I remembered it and saw it here. Here's to you, Cody. This reminds me of you.
Escuché esta canción y Rolling siendo muy niño, como de 5 a 8 años mas o menos, ahora tengo 23 y esta banda debe ser una de mis favoritas de toda la vida, que buena música hacían la ptm
For those who don't understand completely: Back then shows in the 90s use to have to cut corners when it came to animation, so they used what I term "looped animation", where if a character would move rapidly in a scene instead of going from frame to frame they'd simply move the background. Think like a treadmill. Though you're running the floor below you is what is moving. It wasn't until the 2000s and onward where cartoons started to take off and the animation budget grew. The only time they were allowed to go past the usual budget in cartoons is in movies; it's why in a lot of 90s movies the coloring, animation, and sound are always a tad better. Thankfully nowadays animation is booming, so the average movie of the late 90s is now the average worst movie of the 2010s.
THIS UPLOAD IS A GODSEND! I remember seeing this on Boomerang back in late 2007 (I can't remember which reruns it was sandwiched under) but I had not seen it since. I am so happy to have stumbled upon it here so many years later at the age of 26.
@@dingovory I always used to think 'man, these old people always saying "that was great... can't believe it was 20 years ago"... if it's that old they should just forget about it.' and now I'm in that same boat. Man... I can't believe Boomerang started over 20 years ago. And I REALLY can't believe it's been gone for 6! Kids born when Boomerang ended are now in school... STOP!
More like 1991-2008. Adult swim has been the only good thing about the channel along with toonami revival since then. We really had it good with late 80s,90s, and early 00s cartoons.
ahh back when Cartoon Network could always get awesome bands to play their awesome songs, good times! =D Old CN ftmfw! This song is so chill, just makes me wanta lie down and watch old CN bumpers all day...
Yo this song has been stuck in my head since I was young/whenever this aired. But this is one of the only songs I heard one time and never forgot the lyrics. Love this
This video and "Rolling" on the old cartoon network is what turned me on to Soul Coughing. Those were fun times, staying up all night watching CN and getting messed up!
They're still one of my favourite bands. Much gratitude to the people that made these 'Groovies.' They also turned me onto Pain (now known as Salvo), who are also one of my favourite bands. ^^
Back then I didn't understand the meaning of this bumper but years later I found out that the cartoonists uses the same frame to make it look like the characters were moving. Pretty cool.
"A Song 🎵 In Geometric Philosophy" This song 🎵 was not only a classic for "Cartoon Network" at the time... But it was also good enough to have been a Classic on "School House 🏫 Rock 🎸 in the 1970's and 80's... Or even a standalone Classic of The Early 1970's. Wow!! What An Awesome Childhood, We Had.
"Walk around in Circles" can never get bits of this darn song out of head ever since i first heard it many years ago, and Im 31...that's a good thing tho!😊❤
This tears me up. I remember watching this, I had to be like in middle or High school, I use catch this on the weekends. I miss classic Cartoon Network.
For those who don't know or too young to know, this song was about a trope that many and I do mean many Hanna-Barbera cartoons did at the time which was repeating the background a lot where you swear they put in more windows and chairs in the same house...the big joke was these same characters from Hanna-Barbera finally becoming self aware that they were stuck in a loop and wondering how the hell they're gonna get out.
Lyrics: When you were languishing in rooms I built to file you in, And when the wind set down in funnel form and pulled you in. I don't need to walk around in circles, Walk around in circles walk around in circles Walk around in... Don't need to walk around in circles, Walk around in circles walk around in circles, Walk around in... When the ghostly dust of violence traces everything, And when the gas runs out just wreck it, you insured the thing. I don't need to walk around in circles, Walk around in circles walk around in circles, Walk around in... Don't need to walk around in circles, Walk around in circles walk around in circles, Walk around in... Doom da doom da doom What I'm doing I'm doing But I can't sigh now that you made the move. It has gone and gone to dogs Lay down on the floor, For the right price I can get everything. Slip into the car, Go driving to the farthest star. I don't need to walk around in circles, Walk around in circles walk around in circles, Walk around in... Don't need to walk around in circles, Walk around in circles walk around in circles,
leon lawrence beautifully written made me think nostalgia is a great thing it keeps all our children at heart alive and well and something we will never truly let go of peace and love yall long live the classics!!!!
