Awesome Music / Courage the Cowardly Dog

Go To

  • The Tower of Dr. Zalost's haunting leitmotif, to the point that it's sometimes the only thing that can be heard, even when the titular character is firing cannonballs at our hapless hero.
  • The heartbreakingly beautiful, haunting music played in the Doc Gerbil episode during the wacky boat chase scene.
  • The person who composed that disturbing yet awesome theme in both "Demon in the Mattress" and the "Windmill Vandals" deserves a medal.
  • The trumpet music that plays at the end of "The Shadow of Courage" and "Last of the Starmakers" is hauntingly beautiful.
  • The light piano melody that plays throughout "Last of the Starmakers" helps sell the episode's magical, cosmic fairy tale theme.
  • The bittersweet theme for "The Hunchback of Nowhere" complements the story's sentimental tone.
  • The Great Fusilli's theme, in its entirely appropriate Creepy Circus Music style. It also appears briefly in "Profiles in Courage" and "Cabaret Courage".
  • The subtle organ music that plays during certain events. It plays quite a bit clearer in the quilt club episode, one place where it's really noticeable.
  • Freaky Fred's excellent score just by a haunting bass, and a repeated xylophone track.
  • Katz's Leitmotif, a percussion-heavy piece that's as sinister and cool as the cat himself.
  • The Cajun Fox's leitmotif is a catchy, fast-paced zydeco tune that perfectly captures the wacky and zany nature of his debut episode.
  • "Mega Muriel the Magnificent" sets the Computer's daring stunts to a sweeping rendition of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy".
  • King Ramses' theme, "The Man in Gauze", is awfully catchy and fun, which is ironic for a song written to be terrible.
