Space Ghost’s Surf & Turf

Kid Rhino

It’s only fitting that a superhero’s music should come out on a label that sounds like a superhero’s name (Kid Rhino! He was bitten by a gamma-spawned mutant radioactive rhinoceros, and gained the proportionate strength and speed of that mighty beast, along with the uncanny ability to reshape noses with the power of his mind!). But I digress.

If you dig Space Ghost Coast to Coast and its even-more-twisted spin-off, Cartoon Planet, you’re going to love Space Ghost’s Surf & Turf. There’s not any new material here, but when you’ve got classic silly tunes like “Fight the Power Bands,” “Something that Rhymes with Bones,” and “Moo Kaluka,” interspersed with hilarious recurring bits like “A Nugget of Joy from Zorak,” “Brak’s Comedy Gold,” and “The Cartoon Planet Storybook,” who needs new material? Pop this into your car’s cassette deck and sing along! You either get this stuff, or you don’t. If you do, there’s something wrong with you; if you don’t, I don’t want to know you! Kid Rhino, 10635 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90025-4900,
