John W. Dunn was an animation writer who wrote many of the best Pink Panther cartoons, as well as entries in several other DePatie-Freleng cartoon series.

I'm not very well-versed in music so it is hard for me to tell one measure I use for a singer is the lyrics of their songs. Which is why Bruno Mars is definitely not a fave.
