I love listening to cartoon music while I draw.
Some of the tunes I listen to are the Peanuts soundtracks by the Vince Guaraldi Trio,
from the CD, "Hanna-Barbera Classics, Vol. 1," and a CD full of KPM stock music that they used on the Ren and Stimpy show.
But then there's also music that just sounds cartoony.
or THIS album by cartoon-music composer Raymond Scott:
I'm Learning To Share!: Raymond Scott And His Orchestra, 1944, with vocals by Dorothy Collins
It's a whole album full of peppy big-band swing, and since they're old out-of-print recordings, the whole thing is a FREE download at this terrific blog I tripped over a few days back. Tons of fun stuff including cartoon and comics oriented oddball items and lots of old-timey music! A highly-recommended spot to poke around in. Have fun!

ps: love your blog!
Hi, Trevor...sorry for the confusion. Since I'm not a lawyer, I can't say that these are "public domain," So I have removed those words from the post. Tell you what, though...I know there are lots of public-domain records at archive.org that sound very cartoony! Check out:http://www.archive.org/details/78rpm and also: http://www.mp34u.com/sourceHome.php?source=37
Hope that helps...Good luck with your cartoon!
Best wishes, --Sherm
