vid: skip does dexter's

Of all the cartoon jobs I did, the Lab On The Run episode of Dexter's Laboratory seems to be the most recognized. Chris Savino and David Smith intended the episode as something of a Fernwood 2Night tribute with Martin Mull and Fred Willard, so they needed something more 70's than their usual music crew was into. I'd just done their Flintstones movie, so David Smith called me. He asked if I could do seventies horn section funk and -- if possible -- could I sneak some jazz guitar in there (because that's what Mull always did on his own records).

(I was a huge fan of Martin Mull's comedy albums, so I knew what he meant.)

Trivia fact: this is the only episode ever to have something other than the usual end title theme played over the end credits.
