Kick Ass (Cartoon) Theme Songs

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.

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 and French with Lyrics

The Ghostbusters themesong is probably the best ever.

This thread reminded me of that cracked.com list I wanted to post here some time ago, mostly because the old TMNT show theme song made it to #1.

Regarding Mighty Max

Quote:
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.

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.

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




And here's the Filmation theme in French..


Much like Inspector Gadget, this one also has lyrics.
