Personally I love the soundtrack for it's ..don't know if that's the right word since it's a cartoon, authenticity. Like when people argue, they (as real folks do) all talk at the same time. When there's a fight - it sounds like a someone is shooting at monkeys with a machine gun. Add some background music and you get something that is close to impossible to comprehend for a foreigner.
What show am I talking about ? It's the one and only ... Venture Bros!
Any fans here ?
The soundtrack is done my one of my favorite musicians, JG Thirlwell. He does a lot of different stuff but if you dig his Venture Bros. work you might also enjoy the albums he releases under the name Steroid Maximus.
