I know this may be a stupid question, but I was digging through old videos (trying to see which ones I can toss, because they're worn) and I found an old video called Aesop's Fables, the Tortouse and the Hair. Narrated by Bill Cosby. Now, I was watching this (I did a long time ago too, and also wondered this) and this familiar musical score was during one of the scenes.

If I had the ability to make and post MP3's I'd do it, but the music sounds like it was used before (or after) in an animated segment, most likely (I have fuzzy recallection) the Story of Nancy Nannygoat who nibbled her nails. Now either

A) the music was public domain

or

B) The video was a long lost pilot, unsold and they needed music for the SS skit.

If anyone has any info, please post it.

Well they did show a cartoon with Jughead, and filmation owned the "Archie" TV series, so I guess we could count that.

They also produced their own "Superman" cartoon in the early-early-70's:

"S...for Superman!"

Oh wow! I remember that! The "Jughead" cartoon! Yes!!!! Didn't this one involve teaching kids about the letter "J" and the words "jelly" and "jam" came up at some point and at the end Jughead was told to jump in the lake right? I remember bits of it. It's been forever since I've seen that. And I understand Superman was used to teach about the letter S too- I still want to see that.
