Musti theme song

The Musti theme song refers to several theme songs to the cartoon series Musti. Although the most common Musti theme song is not officially named, it is a direct cover of the traditional Dutch children's song "Ik zag twee beren" (English: "I saw three bears"). This song has had three main versions for the three incarnations of the Musti series, as well as an additional version from the 1980's that was used in most dubs of the 1969 series.

1969

Hollandic Dutch (1969/1980)
This is the only variant of the most common Musti theme song to contain lyrics, although only in the original Hollandic Dutch version. The instrumental version was used in the English dub that aired as part of Pinwheel on Nickelodeon, as well as the Turkish dub that aired as part of Uykudan Önce on TRT1.

Ik word later Net zo'n kater Als mijn eigen vader

Lekker aan de dakgoot hangen Muizen vangen Onder 't kleed

En ik vind Dat geen kind Weten mag dat ik Musti heet I'll grow up To be a cat Like my own father

Hanging on the gutter Catching mice Under the rug

And I don't think Any child knows That my name is Musti

Although this direct-to-video dub also uses the above theme song, an additional, unique song is played before it, containing lyrics and having a dedicated music video featuring footage from the series.

Strangely, a Dutch version of this unique theme song exists with different lyrics. This Dutch version was exclusive to a particular Plons de kikker album, and was not actually used as a theme song for the Musti series itself. A French version and a Russian version from this song also exists as well.
