Music in the late 1960s was so good that even the cartoon themes worked as pop songs. “Scooby Doo, Where Are You!” is a charming little musical creation, full of wonderful internal rhymes and a bridge that wouldn’t have sounded out of place on the Beatles’ Help!. Though the song sounds like it was recorded by a bargain-basement band of Beach Boys imitators, it was actually written by Ben Raleigh and David Mook and recorded by music executive Larry Marks. Apocryphally, the tune was finished just a few days before the first Scooby Doo episode aired.
