Incidentals
I can't get the goddamn music of "Rocket Robin Hood" out of my head.

Not just the theme, now my daily routine is beginning to be invaded by the damn INCIDENTAL music. From Kevin McCorry's excellent resource page (http://www.kevinmccorrytv.com/rrobin.html):
"Equally effective is the music, including such melodies as an instrumental rendition of the main title song, played whenever Sherwood Asteroid is introduced and probably meant to signify brotherhood and good will. An "old technology" theme frequently plays over long, fading shots of machinery, for example when Tondo, the "underground gentleman" of "Lord of the Shadows", briefs Robin on the history and achievements of the indigenous race of the planet invaded by Dr. Nocturne, and when the Minutae civilization is first shown in "Space Giant". A music of similar feel is used in other scenes in which Robin and the Merry Men meet alien races or speculate on the nature of a menace, such as that of "Dementia Five". A tune sounding like two drumsticks being clapped together accompanies the emergence of a problem or challenge, like Baron Blank's setting of a trap for Robin and Will Scarlet in "Who'll Kill Rocket Robin?", or the surrounding of Robin and friends by the robot mummies in "The Solar Sphinx". One of the most haunting pieces of music in the series is the synthesized piano/pipe mix which plays over Robin and Little John's ordeal in "Dementia Five" and with the first appearance of the Flying Dutchman in "The Ghost Pirates". It is also heard at length in "Dr. Mortula"."
Or rather,
da-da-da-dah-DAH-da-da-DAH-diddydum-dum-dum-dadiddaDAHHH...
(plays in my head when I walk to work)
tiktiktiktiktikDUMtiktiktikDUMdiddlediddledeeDAHdidda...
(plays in my head when I'm doing something sneaky or intricate)
PUMpokkityPUMpokkityPUMpokkityPUMpokkityDAHDUMDAHDUMDAHDUM, DADAHDAHDUM, DUM DUM...
(plays in my head any time I need to think hard)
Can't find any darn images of the quite-underdressed Maid Marian except this, in the background shadow of a haggard Friar Tuck:
And finally, unfortunately I cannot give you a link to the little vignette about Friar Tuck, featuring his take-one-bite-and-toss-the-food move, but it's on Youtube as one of the related videos to the end-credits shown above.
Understand that I am typing this from memory... I have not followed any of your links
Come gather around me / Space-travellers surround me
Hark now to the ballad of Rocket Robin Hood. (plunka-plunk-plunk-*plunnnnk*)
It may well astound you, / Confound you, Spell-bound you
With heroes and villains, the bad and the good.([falsetto]plinka-plink-plunk-*plinnnnk*)
[countdown begins in the background from 10]
Watch now as our rocketships reach out afar
For now with our Robin we live on a star
"3 - 2- 1 - Blastoff!"
Band of brothers, Marching together,
Heads held high in all kinds of weather!
With firey blasts our roaring rockets rise
Beyond the Earth, beyond the skies!
At the side of Robin, take your stand,
He's the gallant leader of our band!
Sing a joyous shout throughout the land
For Rocket Robin Hood!
