“Captain Kangaroo:” Why Everyone Was Enchanted By This Show

The Theme Song Was Borrowed from Britain

Typically, a television show has it’s own music to make it unique and interesting and it’s something that fits with the feel of the show. For “Captain Kangaroo,” the theme song was borrowed from a library of music in Britain. It was used in a few other places before becoming the theme song for “Captain Kangaroo,” including a BBC production called “Children’s Favorites.”
