“Take the Money and Run” is the rapid rhythm-and-blues spoof written<br />

by Randy Petersen, Kevin Quinn, and Cheri Steinkellner for the animated<br />

film Teacher’s Pet (2004), based on the 2000 television series. When<br />

the dog-turned-human Scott (voice of Nathan Lane) and his boy master<br />

Leonard (Shaun Fleming) collect a $500 reward for finding a lost dog, the<br />

two go on a spending spree, while Jack Sheldon sings the number on the<br />

soundtrack.<br />

“Talent Round-Up Day” is the western theme song by George Bruns<br />

(music) and Gil George (lyric) used for Fridays on the television series <strong>The</strong><br />

Mickey Mouse Club (1955). Jimmie Dodd and the Mouseketeers appear in<br />

cowboy and cowgirl outfits and sing that Friday is the day for a rodeo of talent.<br />

<strong>The</strong> song has a square dance pattern, and the Mouseketeers either ride<br />

artificial horses or do a two-step dance as they get ready to perform in the<br />

roundup. <strong>The</strong> number is sometimes listed as “Round-Up Rodeo.” <strong>The</strong> song<br />

was pastiched years later as “Woody’s Roundup” in the computer-animated<br />

film Toy Story 2 (1999).<br />

“TaleSpin <strong>The</strong>me” is the Caribbean-flavored theme song for the animated<br />

television series TaleSpin (1990), about the colorful Kit Cloudkicker,<br />

who flies his plane through various adventures in the tropics. Michael and<br />

Patty Silversher wrote the lively calypso number, filled with tribal sounds,<br />
