The song "Flintstones" by Jacob Collier is a rendition of the theme song from the classic animated television show "The Flintstones." The show, created in the 1960s, depicts the lives of a prehistoric family, the Flintstones, living in the fictional town of Bedrock. The lyrics of Collier's version are quite similar to the original theme song. It introduces the Flintstones as a modern stone age family, highlighting their historical significance. The family consists of Fred Flintstone, his wife Wilma, and their neighbors Barney and Betty Rubble. The song emphasizes Fred's role as the main character by mentioning his feet as the means of transportation, showcasing his physicality. It promotes the idea of a fun and enjoyable time with the Flintstones, symbolized by the phrase "yabba dabba doo" and later "yabba yabba doo time." These are catchphrases associated with the show, expressing excitement and joy. The mention of Fred fighting with a cat refers to his ongoing battle with his pet saber-toothed tiger, Dino. This has been a recurring joke in the show where Fred tries to keep the mischievous Dino out of the house. Overall, "Flintstones" is a nostalgic tribute to the beloved animated series, celebrating the timeless charm and humor of the Flintstones' adventures in their prehistoric world.
