Kick Ass (Cartoon) Theme Songs

[odupianist]

Alright, spawning off from the thread about the new TMNT theme song, I'm starting this so we can all discuss and list kick ass theme songs. Without going to retrojunk, I'm going to list the ones I can think of... (make sure it's cartoon theme songs too btw, or else we'll be here for awhile)

Animaniacs
Darkwing Duck
Muppet Babies (since I can't use the Muppet Show lol)
Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers
Ducktales
Freakazoid!
Tiny Toon Adventures
Talespin
OT TMNT
Looney Tunes

I know there are more, but I'm at work and can't think of any right now.

[GK Punk]

M.A.S.K
He-Man and the MoTU
W.i.t.c.h (The US version. I was so stoked when I got a full CD Rip of that song)
Winx Club (Italian, not the 4kids version.)
G.I. Joe
Transformers, all of the G1 themes, counting the movie.

[Drtooth]

Muppet Babies (since I can't use the Muppet Show lol)

I really appreciated that one listening to the song from Muppets take Manhattan entitled "I'm Always gonna love You" by jeff Moss. The themesong seems to echo that tune.

I also love Inspector Gadget in English (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKeE3saeguY) and French with Lyrics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p597pE54qcw)

[ZariusTwo]

And Mettalica's version.

[Mecha Cow]

The Ghostbusters themesong is probably the best ever.

[Sewer Bull]

This thread reminded me of that cracked.com list I wanted to post (http://www.cracked.com/article_15253_15-painfully-unforgettable-cartoon-theme-songs.html) here some time ago, mostly because the old TMNT show theme song made it to #1.

[ZariusTwo]

Regarding Mighty Max

The intro had some cool visuals, and the show as a whole scores points for not taking umbrage when Sliders totally ripped off its premise a mere two years later.

Owned.

Even the theme song was ripped off in the first season.

[Cure]

Fairly Odd Parents and Spongebob have some cool theme songs.

[ZariusTwo]

Shamen King's theme song is underrated, then again that entire series, even the dub, was underrated.

[Spike Spiegel]

Spider-Man 90s theme
Batman TAS Theme
Original MMPR theme
Spider-Man 60s theme
TMNT OT theme
TMNT NT Theme
Animaniacs Theme
Men in Black the Series Theme
Ghostbusters Extreme theme
Seinfeld Theme
Married with Children Theme
Simpsons theme
Family Guy Theme

[ToTheNines]

X-men rocked my socks.

[cowabunga14]

I liked the Earthworm Jim theme.

[ToTheNines]

Rugrats was another good one, so is the Ben 10 song :lol:

[Peanut]

We are the E-E-E-E-Eeeeewoks! We are the spirits of the Forest Moon!

[Cure]

Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat was a good one, too.

[Drtooth]

Shamen King's theme song is underrated, then again that entire series, even the dub, was underrated.

Which one? The 4Kids version (which was pretty good, especially for them), Oversoul or Northern Lights? Doesn't matter. I think they're all cool.

The Ghostbusters themesong is probably the best ever.

Which one? The Real Ghostbusters, or Filmation's Ghost Busters? I found someone who switched them around:

MGxU4MCZZbk

And here's the Filmation theme in French..

Much like Inspector Gadget, this one also has lyrics.

[Warhorse]

I dont know why, but for some stupid reason, to this day, I always find myself humming to the tune of Denver the Last Dinosaur and Here Come the Littles. Maybe it was because of the catchy tunes or something, but not too sure why. Just those songs stuck in my head for a long time!

[Jon]

Lot of good ones mentioned. For now will add--

Sonic the Hedgehog!

Adventures of... has a fun little instrumental piece. While Sat.AM Sonic and Underground have good lyric op. themes.

[ZariusTwo]

OPaG9-8WYb4

No Guts, No Glory

[Leonardo Mystic]

I remember one of my favorite cartoons as a kid, aside from TMNT of course, was David the Gnome. I really liked that show, hardly ever missed a chance to watch it, and it has a nice theme song too.

[odupianist]

Rocko's Modern Life
Doug
Ren and Stimpy
(practically any early Nicktoon)

[Drtooth]

Sonic the Hedgehog!

Adventures of... has a fun little instrumental piece. While Sat.AM Sonic and Underground have good lyric op. themes.

Sonic Underground had a better theme song than it deserved. Let's put it at that.

I also really love "sonic Drive"

[GK Punk]

Jnh0-RPyUcE

still giving it to W.i.t.c.h. Well this version anyway. Though if the second US theme has a full version out there somewhere, I'd kill to find it.

[Toonami Tom]

My favorites cartoon themes are:
Swat Kats
TMNT OT
Darkwing Duck
Batman TAS
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie remix
Sonic X

and even though it's not a cartoon, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Add edit: I also wanted to add Inspector Gadget, Batman Beyond, X-Men, Spider-Man, The Batman (both themes), and Space Ghost

Here's some more.

[GK Punk]

Yeah, that's the Italian one. And dare to be stupid is awesome. glad you posted GI Joe the movie also, I've always liked that one.

[Jester]

You're welcome, GK.
To be honest the GI Joe movie intro almost made it look like GI Joe: The Musical.

[Drtooth]

While just kinda kickass, this one is just an oddity...

This is the French opening to Fat Albert. No animated clips of the show are in the actually in it. Much like Sesame Street, they have their own wraparound. instead of being narrated by Bill Cosby, they have someone else... cuz frankly, a French dub of Bill would be terrible.

And here's the rare opening to the animated version of ALF

[GK Punk]

You're welcome, GK.
To be honest the GI Joe movie intro almost made it look like GI Joe: The Musical.

That's what a lot of us GI Joe fans call the intro. That was originally scripted as the final battle of the movie, but when the script was changed they set it to music and it became the opening.

[RAM BAM]

I'd say my favourite song was The Amazing Spider Man
(The original late 60s I think). The animation was kind of
crude but the theme was kick ass!

[Magdolin]

My favorites are:

TMNT (OT, 2k3 versions, Japaneese versions.)
Swat Kats (Both themes)
Talespin (Makes me happy)
W.I.T.C.H.
Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends.
Invader Zim.

[Spike Spiegel]

I forgot to mention the "Spider-Man Unlimited" theme...even though after seeing all the episodes on youTube, I see that the series itself is a giant gaping hole in the animated Spidey continuity.:-?:-?

Rino Romano is still the best Spidey in my opinion, save for Christopher Daniel Barnes.

[Jester]

Taz-mania:

The 60's marvel Themes:
Spider-man:
Q8BkQO_XgWA
Ironman:

[odupianist]

I thought of one, kind of falls under the Nicktoon category. Not only a great show, but Angry Beavers had a great theme as well.

[HeavyMetalCarebear]

-Thundercats
-Transformers
-Sailor Moon
-Spider-Man (original)
-X-Men (original, not that crappy remix)
-GI Joe
-Darkwing Duck
-C.O.P.S
-Ghostbusters

[Drtooth]

Someone's goa smack me for this but...

bXiJYcK4-GU

So help me. I just love that Rip Taylor impersonation at the beginning.

[Jester]

Dear Lord...not the Samuari Pizza Cats....:P

[Drtooth]

To the person who posted Muppet babies, Didja ever see this?

WUGwGhNSlW8

Gotta love the Electric Mayhem boppin' to the groove and watching the show.

[KROW]

That's what a lot of us GI Joe fans call the intro. That was originally scripted as the final battle of the movie, but when the script was changed they set it to music and it became the opening.

Yeah, instead of an epic battle on Ellis Island, we get Don Johnson dissolving seeds over the sky. Were we jipped or what?

Captain America:
BpufNT8I-SU

That theme song rules! I still sing it to this day! :lol:

[odupianist]
