<Li> If a trap is used, it may or may not work (more often than not, Scooby - Doo and / or Shaggy falls into the trap and / or they unwittingly catch the monster another way). Invariably, the ghost / monster is apprehended and unmasked . The person in the ghost or monster suit turns out to be an apparently blameless authority figure or otherwise innocuous local who is using the disguise to cover up something such as a crime or a scam . </Li> <Li> After giving the parting shot of "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids", the offender is then taken away to jail, and the gang is allowed to continue on the way to their destination . </Li> <P> The second season featured bubblegum "chase scene" songs produced by La La Productions (which had originally been contracted to create the music for Josie and the Pussycats, the first of many animated series made from the same mold as Scooby - Doo, Where Are You!). These songs were written by Danny Janssen and Austin Roberts, and were performed by Roberts, who also made a new recording of the Scooby Doo, Where Are You! theme song for the second season . The series' theme song has been covered by several subsequent artists, including Matthew Sweet for the 1995 TV special and album Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits; Third Eye Blind for the 1998 film Scooby - Doo on Zombie Island; Billy Ray Cyrus for Scooby - Doo! and the Witch's Ghost (1999); Jennifer Love Hewitt for Scooby - Doo and the Alien Invaders (2000); the B - 52's (Cindy, Kate and Fred) for Scooby - Doo and the Cyber Chase (2001); MxPx for the live - action Scooby - Doo film (2002); and Krystal Harris for Scooby - Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire (2003). </P> <P> Scooby - Doo, Where Are You! utilized a laugh track, a common feature in most animated TV series until the late 1970s . It was removed for syndication in the 1980s . Following Turner's purchase of Hanna - Barbera and its networks' (TBS, TNT and Cartoon Network) initial broadcast of the series in 1994, the laugh track was reinstated in 1997 . </P>
