Here, for your dining and dancing pleasure, is another cartoon I wrote for the Garfield and Friends series. This is "Truckin' Odie" from season four. Lorenzo Music provides the voice of Garfield…and as I recall, I handed Lorenzo the script, he gave it a quick read…and then proceeded to record the entire song to our satisfaction in about fifteen minutes. He may have talked slow but he was fast. Gregg Berger barks for Odie, I did the lyrics, Ed Bogas did the music and the female singing voices you'll hear on the track are all Désirée Goyette, multi-tracked to sound like more people. (In quite a different vein: If you're looking for beautiful, inspirational music, check out some of the CDs Désirée markets through her own company.) I believe this episode was storyboarded and designed by Bob Nesler, who was one of the show's producers.
