There’s something magical about Scooby-Doo teaming up with musicians. Maybe it’s the shared love of costumes, mystery, and occasionally unmasking a ghost disguised as a roadie. Across decades and formats, Mystery Inc. has crossed paths with musical legends, giving fans some of the most unexpected and delightful cartoon concerts of all time.
Sonny & Cher – “The Secret of Shark Island” (1972)
When Sonny & Cher showed up in The New Scooby-Doo Movies, they weren’t just dodging sharks—they were helping Daphne and Velma solve the case with style, sarcasm, and a groovy soundtrack. Their variety show was already a hit, and this crossover sealed their cartoon legacy.
KISS – Scooby-Doo! and KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery (2015)
Scooby-Doo and the Demon. Enough said. The gang heads to a KISS-themed amusement park where a witch is stirring up chaos. The members of KISS voiced themselves, flew around like superheroes, and basically turned the whole movie into a wild prog-rock acid trip… for kids.
Weird Al Yankovic – “Attack of the Weird Al-Osaurus!” (2019)
Only Scooby-Doo could make an accordion camp get attacked by a dinosaur feel normal. Weird Al’s delightful weirdness fits right into the Mystery Machine’s world, complete with an inflatable duck, music-powered solutions, and Scooby learning the joys of polka.
The Hex Girls – Various Episodes and Movies (1999–2020s)
Goth-rock eco-warriors and certified fan-favorites, The Hex Girls first appeared in Scooby-Doo! and the Witch’s Ghost and became instant icons. With songs like “I’m a Hex Girl,” they’ve returned in several Scooby adventures, putting spells—and earworms—on all of us.
The Harlem Globetrotters – Multiple Episodes (1972)
Sure, they’re ballers, but the Globetrotters’ slick moves and rhythmic bounces were practically choreography. Their Scooby appearances are legendary, complete with theme songs, trick shots, and a whole lot of zany teamwork. And it’s brilliant.
Music, mystery, and meddling kids—what more could you ask for? Scooby-Doo’s crossovers with the music world prove that rock stars and cartoon sleuths make the perfect backstage pass to Saturday morning fun.
