Opening titles "Gumby Theme"/PETE KLEINOW
Title card: Unknown flute theme..
Note - this episode has a special musical theme, so a lot of short
tags with flute,s possibly Ib Glindemann's now housed at Carlin Archives,
are used, along with the standard Johnny Holiday "Gumby Slide Whistle" originally credited to him as used on a Sam Singer Sinbad short from 1965 before those later themes took over
PLOT:Out heroes and a magic flute that Pokey and Prickle appropriate.
"It's a nice afternoon, and Goo's serenading Gumby on a flute that makes furntiure dance [so why don't they just have a Sorcerer's Apprentice thing aorund this?] Pokey and Prickle [with that dry sour and dour voice of his] watch through the window and when the two G's ain't looking, surrepetiously, clandestinely, slyly, and cunnungly....SWIPE I!!! They then drive off but then get into an accident while taking turns making cops, regular guys on the city streets, dance to to the music. The accident knocks the lot of the two into the local zoo, along with their flute, which rolls into the cage and hands of a curious ape, who then tries to be the next Piccolo Pete. By then Gumby and Goo have arrived while the gorilla makes Prickle and Pokey dance [like Egyptian figues]. Goo gets the fl;ute back [by flying, how else] and then plays and no one automaticcaly moves. The music just continues like in a 1930s cartoon into the standard 1960s end titles. The canned score seems to be of the shorter flutes and stuff that earlier would have been Capitol Bi-Q's short stings. Hmm. By the time that thsi was made the cues would have been absorbed into the other categories. I can only think of mood [M] or experimental [X] [Yowp had wondered on his own blog what that was for.]

The later 1960s Gumby title character voice..
As of October 25,2009, I have returned...and now here's the next article..
GUMBY played by who in late 60s?
Ask anyone knowledgable about the classic TV subject nad of animation lore who Gumby was in the 60s and they might answer Dallas McKennon [who left us earlier this year.] BUT ask someone who was the voic eof the late 60s Gumby - the boyish one - and the name they give, well, it's what the voice was NOT of Gumby, and NEVER was [though he's heard quite a lot for Art Clokey on the show nand on "Davey and Goliath!" He'd started as Spedy Alka Selzter in the TV world of 50s after working on Chicago radio [went to Hollywood in 1952-Charles Hillinger, LOS ANGELES TIMES, 1992]. WAS Speedy A. in the 1980s "Clay animaiution festival" flick, with Dallas McKennon as Gumby and Art Clokey as Pokey, thus causing confusion.] Okay, this guy is NOT Gumby but did a loyal amount of voice work in the show:
Richard Beals.
heard in many productions.But--important-- he ain't heard in these later episodes---the 1967-68 ones---at least not as Gumby--so who was it? Why, Sweet Polly Purebred herself--NORMA McMILLAN [1921-2001]. The voice of various female New York City based Leonardo TTV produced shows like Underdog's Sweet Polly [to Underdog's Wally Cox] and ofg Gumby's girlfriend Goo, McMillan, also Davey [..and Goliath] and the TV Casper, is often mistaken for other actors, yet is steadily gaining long overdue recognition as the final [prior to that 80s revival] Gumby voice. You know, in the episodes with Prickle and Goo.
Next, I may offer my conjecture as to the DOUR voice of Prickle the yellow Dinosaur [clokeyasaurues claysaurus friendlysaurus rexasuarues] from these episodes ["Hare-raising adventure","Goildne Iguana", "The magic Flute', or "Behind the Puff Ball," which game him his name [thank you, Mr.Alan Watts!] NOT the slightly "whiny but borderline happy" one in others]. He's not the usual Dal McKennon, Art Clokey, as fas as I know..stay tooned [yech..thanks Roger Rabbit for that term!:)]

PLOT: Pokey walks in his sleep out rather than listen to GUmby's cvhattery auntie, to drive Gumby's old automobile. That'll show 'em!
EPSIODE SUMAMRY
A favorite of mine where Pokey kind of shows how talk may be kinda chepa. Sounding more like a Ren and Stimpy short to some for the specific cues, all of which wound up in BRUTON LIBRARY apparently coincidentally, being from different libaries, Pokey and Gumby spend time with Gumby's chattering aunt who looks like a campy drag queen take on the Gumster (and sounds like Julia Child). He then trots in their sleep out to Gumby's old Yellow Ghost Rolls Royce [RICH guy, that Gumby!! Must be all that money, he made] and now it's up to Gumby and his aunt to catch them. Driivng off to a stock bugle cue, Gumby and his aunt get stuck between two palm trees, so, Gumby borrows a hovercratf and takes off after the still sleep driving horse to the strains of Roger Roger, then a la Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes and the gang in "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" next year, take to the air, then bails out! Wakinjg the horse up, Gumby, Pokey and his aunt are now riding along and as mentioned in cue sheet, Gujmby's aunt Gumbiktty starts chatting. The clip clip vibe cue is slightly similair to my eyes to Philip green's "Light Mechanical EM-115A" cue in the Warner Brothers 1958 shorts "Gopher Broke" and "A Bird in a Bonnett" that used some of this stock music due to a 1958 musicians strike.On a sidenote, on Soulseek, from an anonymous contributor, I got the file that follows Cinnamon Stick, it's A.H.Wilkson's Comedy Timepiece.[see above]. Apparently ALL of the needledrop music came from this British music library, whose popular US hits would be "Winchester Cathedral","Mockingbird Hill" and others. UPDATE: A couple of file sharing downloads to Southern Peer Music files have led to ID's of a couple of those tunes, by some more unsung compsoers-- A.H.Wilkinsons's "Comedy Timepiece", the only cue repeated in the above, and Vincent Holland's urgent "Danger! Melting Ice", which sounds likes like the title for a "Clutch Cargo" cheapie toon cue. That's the first one NOT to start with the letter "C".:)

EPIOSDE SUMMARY
This was an early attempt to get a [short-lived character] on the Gumby show, much like Nopey, the Moon Boggles, Gumby's various late 60s relatives, Dr.Zveegee, the zookeepers, the Zoops, etc., much copied throuh animation history from Bobo the Looney Tunes elephant to Snagglepuss in "Quick Draw mcGraw", etc. and various characters in various productions from early "Porky Pig" to "Ren and Stimpy". Ferdinand the bull, the famous story by noted author/illustrator MUNRO LEAF, turned into an early Oscar winning caroton short by Walt Disney in 1938 [and featuring storyltelling care of comedian Jack Benny's radio show regular DON WILSON, no less!] had this "friendly but legendarily dangerous" conceit, and so did the Reluctant Dragon, later Loope De Loop, Pepe Le pew, Casper, and A.Clokey's Richard the friendly Lion, who also at this time seemed smarter than the others [later used in three more: "How Not to Trap Lions","Mocking MOnkey' and KILLED off in "The Groobee"]. Gumby and Pokey playing hide and seek to one of many jack Shaundlin cues from Langlois, are met with a friendly lion name Richard. But they, in an apprently cut in two episodes [unlike some that had a midlde part removed and later seperately broadcast], instead of running away from, run with, the new critter, all of whom fall into man holes and get into such oddball predicaments mentioned above in the msuci cue list, going to the skyscraper in a car, then wind up mon the ground. Then Gumby at his house, followed by being in the park with lion traps [no steak or other bait? Not even Play-kitty?:)] they eventually meet Gumby's dad and become friends.
I have no idea which of these scenes in whcih order aired in 1956, these may even be two episodes wiht soem stock footage as if taken apart from one.
Excellent voicing, apparently, by ART CLOKEY [?] as the new character,and a lot of composer JACK SHAINDLIN's old [even at the time!] cues most not used elsewhere like Grotesque 1, the companion to the "Yogi Bear"/"Huckleberry Hound"/"Mr.Jinks-Meeces" franchise cue used at H-B, formerly called "The Reluctant Elephant LAF-7-12", and a few that ARE used in a Clokey production but other wise much more often in this paragraph's conext, in Hanna-Barbera [not to mention elsewhere]--"LAF 25-3" the bassoon cues identified by well-known animation writer EARL KRESS and later by YOWP and "Pixie Pranks", as well as another used in apparently not elsewhere by Clokey but often by Hanna-Barbera, this time in "Quick Draw mcGraw"/"Super Snooper and Blabber"/"Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy", at the open of "Lion Drive" Inciodentally, Yowp in his latest post HAS I'd it--"PG-186E Light Mechanical" by GREEN; it's used on many HB shorts, which IIRC is the major place to hear - Cat & mouse privat eyes Snoop and Blab in HB's "Real Gone Ghosts", for instance has that open cue implented in the opening titles to "Lion Drive".[Title of which, of course, is a play on that football term, "Line drive", which is exactly what the Lion in tthat short makes that car do.]

PLOT: Gumby hunts a bone for Nopey.
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Our green clay hero has got a couple of bones to pick with his dog, namely for him to bury. Little Nopey keeps buryin' 'em faster than Gumby than throw them as it were, so Gumby get s a big dinosaur bone to bury. Using a steam shovel, he then summons up a small choo-choo train to go get a big one, then sits on that but has others--Gumby, Pokey and Prickle riding EACH of their own..this cameo group appearance results in a buried bone [and a verison of "Yankee Doodle", and buried characters, who pop up like flowers in the Bullwinkle closing graphic, laughing]." And NO, this is NOT the new PORNM flick just because of the title!
Good title animation of the title beiung animatied on and then being animated off. Gumby taking a big dino bone, very risky given someone could spot him..

"Yankee Doddle"-GM 592/IB GLINDEMANN [from the OGM library][final scene]
PLOT: Gumby hunts a bone for Nopey.
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Our green clay hero has got a couple of bones to pick with his dog, namely for him to bury. Little Nopey keeps buryin' 'em faster than Gumby than throw them as it were, so Gumby get s a big dinosaur bone to bury. Using a steam shovel, he then summons up a small choo-choo train to go get a big one, then sits on that but has others--Gumby, Pokey and Prickle riding EACH of their own..this cameo group appearance results in a buried bone [and a verison of "Yankee Doodle", and buried characters, who pop up like flowers in the Bullwinkle closing graphic, laughing]." And NO, this is NOT the new PORNM flick just because of the title!
Good title animation of the title beiung animatied on and then being animated off. Gumby taking a big dino bone, very risky given someone could spot him..

This is one of creator Clokey's own personal favorites I've heard. Film footage definitely's shared by both epsiodes, differing very greatly in music--the p;art that adds yet another Gumby short--in the MUCH later reissue--in the shorter version of "Lost and Found"--with the "Train Trouble" footabge, with much chunkier but normal sized Gumby--has the "Light Melodic 13" cue on Schadenfruedian [Ange] Therapy and used elsewhere in Gumby, in "Even Stevens", and in producer Jerry Fairbanks' 1962 "Century 21 Calling". I honesty don't know what this short originally was called, but it was probaly the first of these Carroll/Alice shorts ["Magic Show","Of Clay and Critters' and others were just as few other examples.]

End title: "Gumby Adventure End"/WILLIAM LOOSE
PLOT: Gumby finds two lost clay "notes" that he has to restore to their normalcy.
NOTE: "Sinister Suite" and "Entertainemnt Link" are renamed titles in the CARLIN library.This has most of the cues in this short.
This epsiode tries to make an unusual story out of Hershey Kiss-looking marbles, and succeeds. Broken down into "Outcast marbles" short version missing the footage of the green guy going to different places in the toy store", and "Odd Ball" with the remainder of the film, in ealry 60s, this has the green guy operating a steam shovel when he loses control, and then causes it to turn around. Stepping out, with all the marbles falling out of the shovel, Gumby now slides on the, into a book entitled "The outcast marbles", with two marbles, red and blue [and this was in Black and White teleivison era!], and into an odd adventures. After getting hit by the book, Gumby the walks away when the book suddenly talks and he, uh, skates over.
The book tells of the two little marbles who lost their shape and turned into various shapes. Namely, our new heroes. They come out of the book and Gumby's now gotta go and try to [in what is now "Odd Ball" till further notice] change them by virtue of various sounds found throughout the toy story, back, going to a rowboat and to a train,. and finally, [end of "Odd Ball" scenes] a toy box with a lot of toys.
Gumby tries to push them up to get one, but then enters a case of sheer serendipity: an accidental Rube Goldberg effect where ALL of the toys in succesion fall off through the store and then all crash.This does bring our toy geusts stars back, and Gumby puts them back in the book, who then thanks him for "helping us to end our story happily".
Gumby then just smiles into the camera as [fade then unfade] a bunch of marbles roll up to spell "The End".
Apparently this may have been done to do something like "Too Loo", which had two talking music notes also needing some help. This is almost entirely pantomime, except for the book talking. It could possibly be producer/creator Art Clokey, given his playing different characters and telling stores, doing this voice. The middle was removed to become "Odd Balls", the same thing that happened to all the early shorts....unless they were cut in two different parts like some others.
The background music was largely from Capitol production music except for the open,from Syncro Fox, a pleasant little tune titled "Monorail" by composer JACK BELASCO, SF-4 in Capitol library, heard also in the series's "Rain Spirits", and near the end PHILLIP GREEN's cue retitled by CARLIN in CARLIN CAS 402 DRAMA DETECTIVE cassette as "Sinister Suite". I have no idea what the original title is.
BTW ALL the "Box of toys/Gumby pushing toys off" music is now identified [as it's called in the CARLIN PRODUCITON MUSIC SITE,in MAIN SITE: CAR 402 DRAMA DECTECTIVE SUSPENSE as "Sinister Suite", over half a dozen variations.] by PHILIP GREEN.So that's been identified.

FINALLY, what you may have waited for..as many cues as I know used in the original series..
Versions of the series that is..
Here is as of June 18,2013, a major update
Here's as much as I know..fr simplicity's sake, if it turns OUT to be simply [ha ha ha], just the title and composer, no episode titles..
Those credited to CADKIN & BLUESTONE, PHILIP GREEN, HARRY LUBIN, JACK SHAINDLIN, JACK COOKERLY, WILLIAM G.LOOSE, and in some cases ROGER ROGER have had their titles changed today [and they are the titles listed below], these being in current circulaiton, and also it's happened in the past. JACK SHAINDLIN notwithstanding [he's represented through CINEMUSIC, which he ran after ending the previous LANGLOIS FILMMUSIC--see this site, the other that I mentioned are currently offered through Carlin. Others, retaining perhaps the original titles, are BRUTON, KPM, CHAPPELL, and possibly OGM music which has rights to the mysterious [both in the sound of some of his work and in his history] novelty bassoonist SPENCER MOORE, whose work also covered other styles, too.
Here's the list that I know of [and there's pretty more that I can't identify where that came from, besides I don't know how many of the themes had different titles as far as going through all the later concerns offering theme.]
PHILIP GREEN cues not yet sold by CARLIN have the original EMI titles followed by the CAPITOL counterparts.I present all of this as a public service.:)
Not just the Gumby cues, which ARE I'D with an asterisk * but also those used most familiarly (as KNOWN, still others unknown that you will no doubt recongise.)

.....and there's many used in later 1960s shorts which I've heard otherwise only sued in early television animation producer Sam Singer's cartoons like "Bucky & pepito","Sinbad Jr.,", though not yet in his other main series, "Courageous Cat & Minute Mouse", but not used in the early Clokry series nor with any other series that used these cues..on the Sam Singer shows they're credited to a composer named JOHNNY HOLLIDAY..ASCAP and BMI.com have a number of people credited with these, including some also credited only for Clokey Productions: "Gumby' & "Davey & Goliath",such as DOUGLAS M.LACKEY & GUENTHER KAUER, and GERHARD HAENSCH [DELLE HAESNCH and a composer named GERHARD, perhaps?] and HANS CONZELMANN.

JACK SHAINDLIN notwithstanding [he's represented through CINEMUSIC, which he ran after ending the previous LANGLOIS FILMMUSIC--see this site, the other that I mentioned are currently offered through Carlin. Others, retaining perhaps the original titles, are BRUTON, KPM, CHAPPELL, and possibly OGM music which has rights to the mysterious [both in the sound of some of his work and in his history] novelty bassoonist SPENCER MOORE, whose work also covered other styles, too.
Here's the list that I know of [and there's pretty more that I can't identify where that came from, besides I don't know how many of the themes had different titles as far as going through all the later concerns offering theme.]
PHILIP GREEN cues not yet sold by CARLIN have the original EMI titles followed by the CAPITOL counterparts.I present all of this as a public service.:)
Not just the Gumby cues, which ARE I'D with an asterisk * but also those used most familiarly (as KNOWN, still others unknown that you will no doubt recongise.)

More videos uploaded
A few have uploaded a number of older Gumby videops with the original stock cues to youTube.
"Stuck on Books"
"Hot Ice"
"A Bone for Nopey"
"Bully for Gumby"
"Gumby Racer"
"Racing Game"
Excellent to see these again [though I have some already on DVD and VHS, in the case of Bully for Gumby, which isn't with original Capitol/Langlois-Cinemusic track on DVD but is on the muhc older 1980s VHS video, which is what I have.]
Most also have their end titles..

THE GREEN GUY, and then the OTHER GREEN GUY
Among the many stock composers whose tunes you'll find in Gumby was one Phillip Green, whose music was written for many UK mood libaries beginning in 1930s on. Born 1911, UK, died 1982, his cues would be among those often asked about in the references to the Capitol cues topics on the net even without a composer name attached. His music was done for a lot of companies, until EMI Photoplay became his permament home. While being largely the exclsuive composer, he wound up at least the lead with Jack Cookerly [1926-??] and Bill Loose [1910-1991], as well as Emil Cakdin [??] and a few others. His cues would be, and this is due to a request from fellow blogger Yowp, at the most memorable:[CARLIN library has reissued many on CAR 404: CLASSIC CARTOON FUN.Enjoy....]
The site here has some and the untitled ones [listed as I can rememebr them for that site]
A light, pleasant cue from Q/2called "Dressed to Kill" but retitled as "Original EM-CT-1" on disc 47/48 on Capitol Hi-Q. Quick Draw, Snooper and Blabber, Gumby ["Pigeon in a Plum Tree"], and Tweety ["Bird in a Bonnett"] fans will recognize this one. "Comedy Walker", retitled "Chirpie Chappie" [The Carlin library, like the original that this came from, is a British one, regarding the slang term "chappie"].
The famous circus cue "Custard pie Capers" renamed "EM-CT-2 Comedy Circus" now known as "Circus Chase". Used in Snoop and Blab, Fractured Fairytales, Quick Draw, and the first MCDonald's ad. And Foghorn Leghorn, "Weasel while you work".
A marching cue used in the Gumby short "The Zoops" [that trippy odd critter short with the potion and such, "PCCampbell10" uploaded it to YouTube] as I thought two times [Gumby and me, Pokey, arrivin' to the zoo then the zookepper locking up the creatures] till I found out it was used AGAIN, a different part, [the zookeeper in this and a few other Gumby and Pokey series titles informing that he's "onto Gumby", who has spent the time reaping the rewards of selling weird animals from poticn"--that I recognized as part of the bed only after visiting the site for these],
Richochet Pete","Even Stevens","Witty Witch".Title unknown,btw.It's at here, track 23
Speaking of the Zoops, the open and close, also in "One Got Fat", the oddball film with the late actor Edward Everett Horton [1886-1970 of Fractured Farity Tales, and Ginger Rogers and Fred Asatire movies and raido prioir to that] narrating, after the credits in the open.at track 29.
The laid back cue in My Three Sons, and also in its own right one of the top recognizable stock cues, used in Quick Draw/Snooper [esp. there]/Augie, and Weasel white you work with Foghorn Leghorn in the opening title, many commercials and intermission reels as archived on YouTube, and even John Kricfalusi's "Boo Boo and the Man", titled "Popcorn", retitled "EM-1" Comedy Walker, now known as Off we Go in the CAR 404 CLASSIC CARTOON FUN CARLIN cd.
The eerie clip clip "Skeleton in the Cupboard" Western sounding cue from Quick Draw [for instance], GR-87, retitled in the Capitol library as 5-PG-206 "Grotesque Comedy", now "Late Night Jinx" in Carlin.Used in Pigeon in a Plum Tree where Gumby episodes are concerned..Track 18 in here
That cue that sounds like braying jackasses [in the Gumby world, it's my-Pokey's-heroic lupine bitin' theme-to save goofy Frank Fontaine sounding Prince Harold-"Pigeon in a Plum Tree"0---and it's in all of the three Quick Draw segments, and in the Wile E. cartoon "Hook, Line and Stinker" scored by John Seely of Capitol Special Products when the coyote puts birdseed on the railroad tracks-in a different version-see below for the preceding]. Called "By Jiminy it's Jumbo", then "4-PG-20? Heavy Comedy Movement", now "Harry the Hippo", respectively in the EMI, Capitol and Calrin libraries. Personally, I don't care what anybopdy says, had I run a production library or uploaddit I'd call it "Braying Burrito" or something..
A light, British style army military march used as [Clokey's Gumby] "Groobee" [no title known] theme, also in "Foxy Box", a Gumby 60s short that is that double whammy of a lkagte 60s TV rarity--a solo film and pantomime short. You just don't get that by the 60s unless you're at the movies watching Mr.Pink Panther.Track 30.
A cue that Bryan Lord/Totalrod 2 here mixed with others in SPENDING SPREE, and titled out of lack of knowldedge as to title as "Curious Kittens", but was called "Bush Baby" [No, NOT an anti-"W" tune this was a 1950s British instrumental novelty!], then "8-PG-149 Comedy Movement", now "Animal Magic". Ahh..love the last, and the other Calrin titles [the apla-numerical code's Capitol's old ones, and the first was EMI UK]
.Used in "Too Loo" with Gumby, and LOTS of times in "Augie Doggie" HB shorts.
More to come..

A COUPLE of Things-The stock Cues and Dal McKennon
If you want to know about the canned music on this as used in Hanna-Barbera, anothjer fellow's site this is a good resource.
The Pokester.
And as of August 2009, Dal McKennon, the voices of the characters in many short,s passed away. He was in shorts from everything from later Lantz shorts to the relaly awful Filmation Archie shows, which had his short lived Gumby unsped voice. Also in many Disneyland attractions and even in at least on one of Looney Tunes, a Speedy Gonzales called "Torilla Flaps".
Heard in many Disney records, and in Sam Singer cartoons ["Sinbad Jr.", though uncredited,] and in a small company, A&A's "Q.T.Hush".
I've also wondered if some of the cues in GUMBY aren't also from General Music, and even Winston Sharples (w/Hal Seeger: I've bee n rewatching the Trans-Lux/Joe Oriolo FELIX THE CAT and Seeger MILTON THE MONSTERS..)
That sad cue that starts MOCKING MONEY-HOW NTO TO TRAP LIONS sure sounds liuke a Seeger-Sharples-Famous cue...!

DVD GUMBY 7-Disc SET - REVIEW
This is a hopefully, brief, review of the 2002 set.
Without even buying it, I know, from the elements which i've heard are on,
that it sucks. Due to the familiar situation [soundtrack licenciing rights],
the 1987 synthesiser score byh "Jerry Gerber" was installed on the 1980s remakes
of Gumby shows and used here. Happily, creator Art Clokey and son managed to relicense the music for a small number of shorts, and as I've mentioned, CARLIN, especially and other firms have more and more started to carry this stuff, including the long unavaible cues of William Loose, Jack Cookerly and some others. Anyway, the shorts ARE, in order, the n1950s-60s ones in original order, and longer versions, but the need to stil, use the more legally avaible and cheaper 1980 synth soundtracks louses it [but the 1980s shows with ME, Gumby and the gang in an amateur[ish] band have to take the ckae--none of the 1980s ones, on other collections, are on this, but the legally mandated resoundtracking in 1988 doesn't make it much better, either].Rhino released this colleciton. Since then CLASSIC MEDIA have the rights.
SPEAKING of which....:)!
For a MUCH more recent
and satisfactory colection go HERE:
If you REALLY want the revisiionist soundtracks, are a masochist [JUST kidding!] or need to hear what the redone tracks were like..:rolleyes:

Sticky Pokey
As "Pokey", here's something back on topic, and that this will stay.. and the first Gumby episode review..
Clokey Pords.
1967.Color.
Cast
Gumby/NORMA MacMILLAN
Pokey[/Profkapp]/DALLAS MCKENNON [my voice is mislisted as DAL mcKINNON on some credits]
Music: Probaly CONZELMANN-TREDE-HAESNCH & VAN PHILLIPS;theme by PETE KLEINOW
Wirtten and Directed by ART CLOIKEY, RAY PECK & PETER PETE KLEINOW
SYNOPSIS: Pokey's on the run and it's up to Gumby and Prof.Kapp to trap the Blockheads who chase him.
We open with a briefly truncated sub-main title of the "Gumby" episode title slide whistle themePokey--me--is/are running through the locla toystore, as the blockheads are after Me. Gumby takes m e-aka Pokey, to Prof.Kapp, a character who debuted in a solo experimental pilot, "Space Ball", then did a number of mid 60s Gumby shorts. Professor Kapp devises his stickiest glue in the world [yeah, I know, how does he know---but keep reading friends]. He melds the glue. It is turned into a shape of me. "I'm" placed to a side of the street. I, hereby third pony as Pokey, go up and razz the B'heads, causing those darn Blockheads to chase after Pokey, [me], and Pokey and the Blcokheads onc eliterally cross an abandoned street lioght less rural interseciton before allowing the blockheads to go to horse clue. After all, sometimes a pony's gotta be faithful to a pot of glue!
COMMENTS

The title's sticky glue poot kettle resembles an acorn.A nut. That's what I must be to volounteer for this. -Pokey.There's a period on the end of the title.

Some BMI listings of Gumby cues.
I think that you can tell which are the ones for the 1950s and 1960s shows and whic are for the IMHO only, inferior later 1980s ones, and for tribute songs. Interesting list of stock composers.

"Katya" has a actual "production music" file from the old F.W.Woolworth company, and KMart and Green Dolllar/Dollar Treee/99 cent store prototype, S.S.Kregse, of production music made by SPECIAL RECORDINGS just for the store itself. Sounds an awful lot like the Bill Loose-Jack Cookerly stuff, but no credit on either the site OR the record label is GIVEN! Navigated there
from Baikinange's site [see URL below.]. Highyl reccomnded, but no non-e-mail feedback, though..
UPDATE: I checked, and TRACK 6 on that KRESGE shopping LP is also on the MP3 of the file that Bryan Lord had---"Life in the 1940s"------and by an immortal soul,too, a rather{!!!] known name..ROBERT FARNON!!!! It's "Seventh Heaven"---NO....Ashlee Simpson and Jessica Biel [not to be confused with jessica Simpson now, or Richard Belas, aka Gumby] fans, not the TV show but a ROBERT FARNON cue..it shows up again, on Track six, final track on side 1 [rememebr that arrangement, folks?? not to be confused with ffolke? six 3 and a half minute or so tracks on one side, six on the other side.]
http://www.oddiooverplay.com/ears/kresge.html
ANYWAY, Track 6 is a pre-existed cue, Robert Farnon's "7th Heaven", and again not that TV show title. Dennis and David are, respectively his brother and son..[who seems to have a cue on the 1968 "Gumby" short "Shady Leomande" when Gumby, your truly, Prickle and Goo are hoodwinked by "that nasty soda jerk"...anyway, even though Robert's piece isn't to my knowledge on Gumby or many popular franchises, it's familair from some, and from ads..AND I wonder how much cue music used on Gumby turned up on those...many dept.and dime stores and grocery stores seemed to have these. We clay and flehs and blood types should only use so much more of that in our stores.....
