This very well may be the most surprising fun fact I've ever posted on here haha. I was shocked to find this out after my theme song ranking from last week, but apparently, the guy who sang the Shaggy & Scooby Doo Get a Clue! theme song, Mark Mothersbaugh, is also responsible for singing another hit that is likely well-known to most people. Mark is most famous for the lead singer of the band Devo, whose song "Whip It" was a huge hit in the 1980s. So yes, the guy who sung "Whip It" is the same person who sings the Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue! theme song.

Hahaha me too! I was shocked to find this out last week. I was curious who the guy that sang the Get a Clue theme song was after a couple people were talking about it in the comments last week, and was so surprised to find out it was the same guy who sang "Whip It!"

Mark Mothersbaugh has also mostly been a composer for movies and shows since the 90s

I was aware of that before researching for this fun fact, I was just surprised that he provided the vocals for this theme song because I didn't realize he was also a singer or that he was a part of Devo.

This guy did a good job singing the theme song for this series.

Agreed haha. The in-your-face quality of it really works well for me even though I know it doesn't for many people.

Hey Wildwind I thought of some polls for Halloween. I guess there not really Halloween related but close enough:

I actually already came up with polls for Halloween and have them saved as drafts, but I will definitely do all of these because I love the ideas! I don't know if I'll do the others before Halloween, but I'll definitely do the Halloween movie poll after Trick or Treat is released (although maybe not until after the DVD release so everybody has time to see it). Thanks so much!

I can definitely see a Halloween movie poll next month. Frankenstein would classify as a zombie though.

Mind if I point out you missed a prime opportunity to make a fun fact about all the times they've joked about marijuana and shaggy?

It's super funny you say this because I actually did think about making this fun fact 420-related lol. My original idea was to write about how Casey Kasem was shocked to learn of the Shaggy marijuana rumors during an interview in 1995, but the source I'd found that on years ago was taken down, so I ended up going with something different and non-420 related.

That's fair, honestly, I wouldn't believe it considering his career even then feels like someone who'd KNOW what weed is, so I would not at all be surprised if the interview was taken down cause it was fake or something, or just 90s being the 90s "what weed? What is this Mary Jane you speak of?? I did not inhale!" etc 9/29/2022 08:22:10 am
Haha I'd be a bit surprised as well if he had never heard that stereotype about Shaggy. It's definitely possible the interview was fake. Interestingly, I tried to find the Archive.org archived version of it and even that wasn't working properly, which would back up your theory lol.

Twitter and Instagram both have accounts reserved and already verified for @velmatheseries. I am sure the teaser is going to arrive this month together with the preview at NYCC. They were created in september!
