He was the composer of many of the Hanna-Barbera cartoons' popular theme songs, including The Flintstones, Top Cat, The Jetsons, Jonny Quest, Josie and the Pussycats, The Smurfs, and The New Scooby-Doo Movies.  – WIkipedia


You may not know him, but I’m certain

You know the music of Hoyt Curtin

Whose raffish musical creation 

Defined the sound of animation,

In fact, his music shaped an era

For Messrs. Hanna and Barbera.
