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.

 * Singer: N/A

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
 * -|Lyrics=

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
 * -|Translation=

Hanging on the gutter Catching mice Under the rug

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

1990



 * Composer: Al Van Dam
 * Singer: N/A

Korean (1990, second dub)

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.

내사랑 무스티 귀여운 무스티 언제나 아름다운 꿈을 꾸지요 내사랑 무스티 착한 무스티 어려운 친구들을 도와주지요 우리의 친구 무스티와 함께라면 사랑과 꿈이 가득하지요 오늘은 무스티에게 무슨일이 생길까 가슴이 텅텅텅 거려요 Musti, my love, cute Musti I always have beautiful dreams Musti, my love, good Musti Helping friends in need With our friend Musti Full of love and dreams What will happen to Musti today? My heart is pounding!

Onze lieve kleine kat(?) (Islamic Arabic, 2007)



 * Composer: Luc Smets (original)
 * Singer: ?

In most versions of Musti, this song is not actually used as the main theme song of the series.

However, the Islamic Arabic dub of Musti is an exception; a simplified cover of the song in a different key with a choir instead of the original instruments, and Arabic lyrics, are used in place of the above theme song.
