Just learned that the 'Rugrats' theme song was written by Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo
Found that out on a podcast yesterday, blew my mind a little lol. Anyone else have a random 90s show fact that surprised them?

Always assumed it was some random jingle writer. Makes total sense now, that song has a weird, off-kilter energy. Found out the guy who created the "Arthur" theme also wrote the music for "The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers". The 90s were a strange time for composer career paths.

Wait, the same person wrote the Arthur theme AND the Power Rangers music? That's actually insane, those two shows could not be more different. My brain can't connect those dots at all.

Three Completely Different Shows is a pretty wild resume line, gotta respect that kind of range. In my experience, usually the composer for something like that gets pigeonholed into one sound forever. Your mileage may vary, but I think that weird 90s energy came from guys who just said yes to everything and made it work somehow.
