Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI think I'll watch "Funny Bones" again tonight.
I haven't seen it since last week, so why not?
I love that movie. If you haven't seen it, find it. It has to be something you can view on demand.
Funny Bones
This tune plays as the credits roll:
And now you won't want to get it out of your head.

I should have added a link to the Wikipedia article about Raymond Scott.

(29,414 posts)1. While I'm not familiar with the movie, I am of Raymond Scott.
Such a great composer and musician, not to mention an innovator of electronic music (he was a major influence of the Moog synthesizer through his work with Bob Moog.) Plus, he composed many themes for WB cartoons
And the cut you linked above also reminds me of a more obscure composer and band leader of around the same time, Bernie Green:

Here it is now:
Raymond Scott
Raymond Scott (born Harry Warnow, September 10, 1908 February 8, 1994) was an American composer, band leader, pianist, engineer, recording studio maverick, and electronic instrument inventor.
Although Scott never scored cartoon soundtracks, his music is familiar to millions because of its adaptation by Carl Stalling in over 120 classic Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck and other Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies animated shorts. Scott's melodies may also be heard in contemporary shows like Ren and Stimpy (which use the original Scott recordings in twelve episodes), The Simpsons, Duckman, Animaniacs, The Oblongs, and Batfink. The only music Scott actually composed to accompany animation were three 20-second electronic commercial jingles for County Fair Bread in 1962.

I haven't gotten around to watching the movie again yet.
As a bonus, here's "Powerhouse":
