Subject: Will.i.am and Cartoon Network

Written By: TheReignMan99 on 04/09/18 at 1:40 pm

Will.i.am (real name: Will Adams) had an influence on your childhood more than just being apart of The Black Eyed Peas. He also produced songs for Cartoon Network in the early 2000s.

Dexter's Laboratory:

He co-created the theme song of Samurai Jack (2001-2004):

I remember the Dexter theme he did. Haha Didn't know he contributed to Samurai Jack though. I'm learning something new everyday.

He really did put in memorable work for Cartoon Network.

Yep, I didn't know originally that he co-created SJ's theme song either. He's credited by his real name of Will Adams, so I never knew until a few years ago.

Funny how he went from theme songs for children’s shows to singing about lady lumps in just a couple of years.

He's a great Hip-Hop artist despite the mess he put out years later. I only learned he assisted in creating SJ's them song earlier this year. He's definitely contributes to the reason 2004 is my favorite 2000s year.

That's right. That's because he's got a secret formula! 8)

I remember those CN Groovies based off the Cartoon Cartoons (including the Dexter's Lab secret formula) being inside of the cereal boxes too. Those bring back good memories. Oh, and I've talked on this form many times how much I enjoyed Black Eyed Peas growing up!

Damn did not know that!

Yeah I haven't heard from Will.i.am (let alone the rest of The Black Eyed Pees) in years. I totally forgot about how popular he was in the 2000s.

Anyways, yeah I remember his groovie that featured Dexter's Lab, it was one of my favorites as a kid. Another groovie I liked as a kid was this one featuring Josie and The Pussycats:

The last version of the song was my favorite from back in the day. I find it funny that at the time of this groovie airing, so circa early 2000s, that the last version of the song that was at a 1990s era rave club was seen as 'recent'. Oh how have times changed ;D.

*Black Eyed Peas.

Also, his work with Cartoon Network was actually BEFORE The Black Eyed Peas became well-known.

Yeah, it's crazy isn't it.

Also, I like that Josie and the Pussycats groovie as well.

Sorry for the late response to this topic. I was busy with work when I got the message a few weeks ago. To be fair, I do remember seeing that first video in the OP since I watched all the Groovies that came on CN back then, but like Spyro, I wasn't aware that Will.i.am also played a part in Samurai Jack. That's interesting to hear. He made that theme song like a boss :)
