The 'Stop That Pigeon' theme song was covered in: Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits (1995) Toon tunes (1996) Cartoon Network Toon a Rama (2003) Klunk is a vegetarian (this is seen in one of the 'Wing Dings' shorts). Muttley's birthday is on April 16 (it is seen in the 'Sappy Birthday' episode).
Does anybody remember the cartoon, Catch the Pigeon?
Yeah. So do I.
Except it wasn’t called ‘Catch the Pigeon.’ It was called ‘Stop the Pigeon.’ Go and look it up.
See?
I don’t know about you, but I always thought it was called ‘Catch the Pigeon.’ In fact, I can vividly remember the show’s theme song in which the words ‘Catch the Pigeon’ were repeated over and over again. But when I watch the intro on YouTube now, that isn’t the case. It’s ‘Stop the Pigeon.’
Now…at first, I thought maybe there were two different versions. Like how Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was changed to Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles over here in the UK. Or how Top Cat was initially changed to Boss Cat. Something like that. But I looked it up and it seems that there is no evidence whatsoever as to the show ever being called ‘Catch the Pigeon.’
Except….
Loads of people online seem to share the same memory as me in thinking that the show was called ‘Catch the Pigeon’ and that the theme song followed suite. I find this weird. Like there’s a shared false memory. Like history’s been edited, but for some reason Catch the Pigeon slipped through into our edited memories intact in its original form.
Initially, this thought was kind of tongue in cheek, but I still did think it was definitely pretty weird how lots of other people all seemed to have the same misconception and all seem to have vivid memories of this non-existent version of the show. Then I found a Reddit post which mentioned something called The Mandela Effect. The Mandela Effect is a purported phenomenon wherein something that somebody believes to be a generally accepted fact, and has a personal memory of, no longer seems to be true. There are apparently enough of these shared false memories for people (me included) to think something weird is going on. There’s a theory that The Mandela Effect points to the existence of parallel worlds. That perhaps groups of us become dislodged from the main timeline of our world, or that somehow the world is in a constant state of flux and changes around us with only some memories of the previous incarnation remaining to clusters of people.
It’s an interesting theory and one that I am very seriously considering as a possibility right now. I mean…I fucking know it was ‘Catch the Pigeon!’

It’s happened with another thing tonight, too. Right.There was this advert that used to be on Cartoon Network (I know…all my Mandela Effect memories are cartoon based…) where all the cartoons were said to be related to Velma in a kind of Six Degrees of Seperation way. It’s always stuck in my mind for some reason and I watched it earlier because I’m a nostalgia junkie, as you can probably tell. Anyway, in my memory the voice over was all deep and emphasised, but when I watched it back, it wasn’t like that. Obviously, I just thought I’d misremembered it, as you do, but then I saw a comment where somebody expressed exactly the same memory of the advert as myself. I know it’s possible to misremember things, but it’s the shared nature of the misremembered memories which interests me.

I feel like I’ve stumbled down a rabbit hole with this one, following a thread which may unravel the very fabric of existence. Or perhaps I already did long ago when I was a child, tumbling into a world in which Dastardly and Muttley were trying to stop a pigeon rather than catch it…
