late 80's-early 90's disney toonage...Darkwing Duck theme Vs. The ducktales theme

Me, above: "the Alvin and the Chipmunks show from the same period (the best Chipmunk song ever, by a long, long margin - I may have to rip it off at some point)."
Revelation: it sounds exactly like mid-period Van Halen! Specifically "Dreams" off 5150! This changes everything!

Is there a thread for posts you find by yourself that you just can't even understand or relate to whatsoever? I'm sure I've never heard 5150 by Van Halen, and listening to the track right now I'm really not sure what I was talking about here...I guess the drumming on the chorus sorta reminds me of Theodore but ...yeah, this is really baffling.

I only just now realized what a rip-off the Duck Tales theme is of "You Make My Dreams Come True" by Hall & Oates. I don't think this diminishes either song, but it's still kind of a shock.

Was the Wind in the Willows one that included "Mister Toad, if he pumps (?) up more, he's gonna expl-o-o-de"? I'm at work and can't YouTube - but I remember that one at least.

finally found this - it's the Rankin-Bass adaptation from 1987, featuring the very Gollum-esque Toad. Song begins around 3:10 in this video:
