I Am Weasel – “I.R. Gentlemans” – Bill Fulton theme and background music composer

As the original I Am Weasel composer, Bill Fulton composed the main theme and custom background music for the classic Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network animated series. This production entry highlights his scoring work on Season 1, Episode 4, titled “I.R. Gentlemans.”

Scoring “I.R. Gentlemans” for Cartoon Network

In “I.R. Gentlemans,” I.R. Baboon attempts to learn proper etiquette and high-society manners to compete with the naturally sophisticated I.M. Weasel. The comedic contrast required a dynamic, high-energy musical score. Bill Fulton created orchestrations that blend big band brass, jazz grooves, and tight orchestral hits to punctuate every visual gag and character mishap.

Series creator David Feiss created a fast-paced slapstick style for the show. To match this kinetic energy, the music serves as an active storytelling partner. The cues shift instantly between refined, mock-classical elegance and chaotic cartoon jazz.
