I had a dream many, many, many, many nights ago, where the 1936 logo has a violin version of the Tempo Pre-School music and this was on a Maggie and the Ferocious Beast tape recorded over Pokémon having three episodes, the 2nd half of "Icing on the Cake" renamed "Baking", "The Big Scare" and "The King of Nowhere Land". Was it real, or I recorded various programs in the dream?
