22 “THE BOATNIKS”
around a campfire, the desert around them and the night animals are animated.
Roy Rogers, Bing Crosby, and Vaughn Monroe and his Orchestra
each had successful recordings of the song.
“The Boatniks” is the bebopping title song for the 1970 movie comedy
about a bumbling Coast Guard captain and a gang of equally incompetent
jewel thieves. Bruce Belland and Robert F. Brunner wrote the pop number
about the intrepid Coast Guard, which is “nautical but nice,” and it is sung
by a studio chorus over the opening credits.
“Bon Voyage” is the perky and insistent title song for the 1962 film comedy.
Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman wrote the list song, which is sung
by a chorus over the credits, about the preparations to be made and places
to visit when the Willard family goes on a vacation to Europe. A portion of
the song is sung in French. The number is reprised over the closing credits
of the movie.
“Bonkers” is the frantic title song by Mark Watters for the 1993 animated
television series about the crazy Hollywood cop Bonkers D. Bobcat. The
rapid jazz number, which invites viewers to join the cat-cop on the beat and
to go bonkers with him, is sung over the action-packed opening sequence,
in which Bonkers wildly bounces from one misadventure to another.
“Boo Bop Bopbop Bop (I Love You, Too)” is the happy nonsense song
that illustrates the affection between the orphan Pete (Sean Marshall) and
his pal, the dragon Elliott (voice of Charlie Callas), in the partially animated
movie musical Pete’s Dragon (1977). Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn wrote
the saccharine but bouncy number in which the two friends find comradeship
and love even though they are so different.
“The Boogie Beagle Blues” is the farcical rock-and-roll spoof written by
Michael and Patty Silversher for a 1989 episode of the animated television
series DuckTales (1990). A gang of canine crooks boast that they have broken
out of prison and are on a crime spree, proud of their mug shots put out by
the FBI. The song pastiches rock icons from the 1950s and 1960s, with references
to blue suede shoes and a howling harmony stolen from the Beatles.
“Boom Shakalaka” is the silly tribal chant in the film Muppet Treasure
Island (1996) that spoofed tropical island movies. Barry Mann and Cynthia
Weil wrote the rhythmic ditty which is sung by the cloth natives of a Caribbean
island, preparing the entrance of their tribal princess Benjamina
