Real songs in Hanna-Barbera cartoons

Although many songs featured in Hanna-Barbera cartoons were specifically written for the shows, films and specials, there were just as many that weren't. Examples are:
== Tom and Jerry ==
* The holiday short "The Night Before Christmas" features "Deck the Halls", "The First Noel", "Silent Night, Holy Night", "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear", and "Jingle Bells".
== The Huckleberry Hound Show ==
* Huckleberry Hound often sings "Oh My Darling, Clementine" off-key, sometimes altering the lyrics throughout the series.
== The Flintstones ==
* In "The Flintstone Flyer", Fred and Barney sing "Funiculi, Funicula" as they head back home from bowling.
* Fred sings "Lucia" from Lucia Di Lammermoor in "The Split Personality".
* Barney plays on the piano while performing "While Strolling Through the Park One Day" in "The Hot Piano".
* Fred sings a rocking version of "When the Saints Go Marching In", in "Hot Lips Hannigan".
* Wilma sings "Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey" when she unknowingly auditions for The Happy Housewife Show in "The Happy Household".
* Betty and Barney sing "When You're Smiling" in "The Rock Vegas Caper".
* Fred and Barney have the Boy Scouts sing "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" in "Cave Scout Jamboree".
* The Swedish musicians sing "Wilma" in "Swedish Visitors". It had been written by Owe Thörnqvist a couple of years earlier.
* Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm sing "Open Up Your Heart and Let the Sunshine In" in "No Biz Like Show Biz" and during the end credits in several episodes. This song had been recorded years before by a Sunday school choir.
* The Beau Brummelstones sing "Laugh, Laugh" in "Shinrock à Go-Go". In real life, this song was a hit for the Beau Brummels in the same year that this episode aired.
* In "The Story of Rocky's Raiders", Lt. Rocky Flintstone sings "Frère Jacques" while he, Reggie Vanderock, and Mata Harock are fleeing from the Baron von Rickenrock.

== A Christmas Story ==
* A group of carolers sing "O Come, All Ye Faithful" at the beginning of this special.
* Fat Cat mockingly sings "Jingle Bells" after donning a Santa Claus suit.
== Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids ==
* In the episode "Double Trouble", several songs are mentioned, but not sung, in order to pick out a real Prince from an imposter, seeing as how the real Prince is a fan of rock music. They include "Yesterday" by The Beatles; "Woodstock", written by Joni Mitchell and recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and Matthews' Southern Comfort, as well as by Mitchell herself; and "Alice's Restaurant" by Arlo Guthrie.
== These are the Days ==

* "Pete's Big Break" starts with Alfalfa's off-key rendition of "My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean".
