New Nickelodeon show features Raymond Scott

From Bugs Bunny, to Ren & Stimpy, and The Simpsons, Raymond Scott's music has a long history with animation. But now the Nickelodeon TV show 'Harvey Beaks' will be the first series to utilize the electronic music of Raymond Scott. Composer Ego Plum, who scores 'Harvey Beaks', has just completed "Missing Harvey," featuring Scott's mid-1960s title, "In The Hall Of The Mountain Queen." The vintage recording is heard, and the tune recurs throughout the new episode with original stylistic rearrangements conjured by Plum. "Missing Harvey" premiers on December 27th, 2017, at 8:30 PM on Nicktoons.
