Theme music

The article states that "Hanna wrote the series' theme music, in his first foray into theme music composition, which would become a staple of Hanna-Barbera for nearly 30 years", but then goes on to say, "he penned the lyrics one morning while storyboarding, handing off the sheet music to musical director Hoyt Curtin, who composed the melody".

Surely, this suggests that Curtin wrote the music - which is in agreement with the quote that appears in his own WP article: "About two weeks later they [Hanna and Barbera] called and had a lyric they read over the phone. Could I write a tune for it? I called back in 5 minutes and sang it to them ... silence ... uh oh, I bombed out ... the next thing I heard was a deal to record it! Ruff & Reddy. At that moment they had quit at MGM and started their own company. All of our first main titles were done in that fashion. Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, etc.".^[1] JezGrove (talk) 22:14, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
