The secong theme song in the list and this one is from the hand of a man with world fame in this genre. He scored the title tracks af many children's th series succh as Wickie The Viking or Maya The Bee. Also he created the music for one of my childhood's favourite tv cartoon series, The Wonderfull Adventures Of Nils Holgersson. My God I was fond of that show.
Karel was born in 1938 in the former Chechoslovakia, in Prague (later Czech Republic) and started composing songs while he was studying medicine at the Prague University. He also started to write quite a few pop songs for many Czech singers but as mentioned above he's best known for his various theme songs for series, movies and tv shows.
What many people don't know is that he also wrote the music for four musicals performed in Czech Republic and these musicals have names such as Dracula and The Count Of Monte Christo. Both of them you should at least have heared of.
His death in 2007 untill today is still a bit of a mystery because Karel was found dead in his back yard with multiple gunshot wounds. It is said he committed suicide although some of his family still denies he had any kind of mental problems.
