Favorite Theme Songs

Theme songs are a huge part of almost every animated show out there. They are meant to hook us in, and stay with us afterwards. In a lot of these shows, the animation during the opening song is done better than the rest of the show.

What are some of your all time favorite TV show theme songs?


as far a lyrics and go I love the Intro to The Mask:


But when it comes to ambiance and instrumentals, i think its pretty hard to top this:

The X-Men animated series intro was great. I also liked the techno Spider-Man intro from the 90s.

I forgot to mention the 2nd intro to the Iron Man animated series was awesome. The "I Am Iron Man" theme.

I like that one better, as well. The television theme was good, but the movie version added some extra energy, especially with that crescendo before the chorus.

Aside from Batman, Ducktales, and Darkwing, I also loved the following themes:




^^ This just screamed 80s.




^^ Can't forget this.



And, of course, the themes from the Ninja Turtles shows (before Fast Forward).

I beat you with the Justice League instrumental theme song by 30 seconds! Eat krow! Seriously, its nice to see another fan of the show and the theme. Instrumentals go great with superheroes.

Oh ya, i do really like the Justice league opening, and the Tick was a lot of fun "Duh Dweee da da da dweee dow!"

A few more to toss into the ring:
Inspector Gadget:


ANY of the MST3K opening themes:


And of course Mighty Morphin Power Rangers:

Any Kid that didnt play air guitar to that had no soul!

The one thing The Tick had that I liked was the Townsend Coleman/Rob Paulsen colalboration!

It may be nostalgia talking in light of learning of Thuy's death but long live the original six Power Rangers! I perferred one of ther action songs "Fight!" over the theme song:



Goes great with the dramatic cut scenes of Star Wars duels!
