I think kids and parents, alike, know when they’re being snowed. I definitely do not write “down” for children. It’s fantastic! Animation has a long, long life, especially well-crafted songs. How does it feel to know that your music for “Phineas and Ferb” spent over 100 weeks in the top-15 on Billboard’s charts? Once the animation is complete, we’ll “spot” the episode with the show runners for ideas about the underscore. Songs are recorded in pre-production (before animation begins) usually about a year in advance. As the song producer and composer of the underscore, I’m locked in my home studio working on pre-production and post-production, at the same time. I work with the “Phineas & Ferb” cast to produce their vocals.
After the show runners send me a rough demo, I put in an all out effort to make it a record.ĭo you work with the cast at all while composing music for “Phineas and Ferb”? Fortunately, “Phineas & Ferb’s” creators, Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, are really musical.

Although I’ve toured with different artists, it’s my earliest years of working in bars in Top 40 bands that prepared me with a back pocket full of authentic styles and sounds. How did you come up with idea to give the show, “Phineas and Ferb” a cool, modern vibe bringing together many different artists? As a featured guitarist, Jacob has performed on the “triple crown” of critic-awarded projects: On “Shrek,” which won the Oscar® for Best Animated Picture on the Emmy® winning Bette Midler HBO Concert “Diva Las Vegas ” and on the Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin’s “Heaven Help Us,” which won the Grammy® for Best Duet Influenced by his life-long experience as a world-class guitar player, Jacob bridges the worlds of score and song. As composer and producer of the songs for Disney Channel’s mega-hit animated series, “Phineas and Ferb,” Jacob’s music is fresh, original, multi-dimensional and at times even hilarious.
He has composed more than 300 songs for show and is currently working on the third and fourth season of the show.Ī three-time Emmy® nominated composer, Danny Jacob is raising the bar for commercial success in today’s television music. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone.BSCkids recently got the chance to interview the musician behind the music of the hit cartoon, “Phineas and Ferb,” Danny Jacob. You might even find yourself laughing and singing along with this set.
While it's true that all of this music, save for the theme, is done by Disney's stable of teen and young adult singers and session vocalists ( Mitchel Musso is in the mix), there's something far more enjoyable about this stuff than standard kids' music fare - like the shudderingly awful yet voluminous Kidz Bop series, ugh. ("Squirrels in My Pants"), the fingerpopping faux doo wop, hip-hop of "I Love You Mom," by Candace (who also gets all convincingly dancey on the sunshine pop "Queen of Mars"), and "You Snuck Your Way Right into My Heart," by '80s hard rockers Love Händel (no, we're not kidding) who are a dead cross between Journey and Spinal Tap. One of the show's high points is the music, from Bowling for Soup's theme song "Today Is Gonna Be a Great Day" (who can argue with a power pop-punk song with a killer hook that states: "This could possibly be the best day ever and tomorrow could be a million and six times better." immediately after talking about locating Frankenstein's grave and "driving my sister insane"?) But it's not just the theme from the show, there's also the dubby dancehall of "Backyard Beach," by Ferb, the electro "S.I.M.P. The plots are standard, and sometimes so are the jokes, but the characters aren't. It is a Saturday morning cartoon comedy that stars two irrepressibly inventive, multi-talented, mischievous, nerd geniuses (who happen to be stepbrothers), their vain, hyperactive, scheming sister Candace, and their pet platypus (who happens to be a secret agent fighting an evil scientist, among others).

For anyone who hasn't watched episodes of the Disney animated series Phineas and Ferb, it's highly recommended.
