Okay, I was in an nostalgic mood, and I was thinking.... man, cartoon theme songs actually rocked pretty frickin' hard back in the day. I mean, like, unbelievably so.

But then I started thinking.... what's the GREATEST Cartoon theme song?

It's as simple as that. What cartoon or kid's show song is the best of the best?

From the catchy tunes of Chip N'Dale, to the orchestral chills of Gargoyles, to the pulse-pounding beats of The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, to the jungle rhythms of Phantom 2040, to the epic metal of X-men and Iron Man, what made you freak out as a child and, perhaps, still as an adult?

So let's hear it. Who hear is vouching for Thundercats and Transformers? Or perhaps something happier, like The Simpson? Or something more hair metal like Wheel Warriors?

This should be fun.

If I had to choose a "Greatest Show Intro Song" ever as in ANY show. It would be "Aw Here it Goes" from Keenan and Kel. I guess it could count in this since in your post you did say "Kids show" and it used to be on Nick.

If I had to pick a cartoon I would say that "South Park"'s intro is my favorite. I am liking this Japanese Dub I recently found on youtube.

I believe he was originally Mandrake's Manservant... but considering how offensive that is... the cartoon made him this Bad motherfucka' (wait... now Im being racist... im an ass) who had the freaking hook and rope that I used to fantasize about having for years!

Great thread!

Here are some from me:

Captain Planet (intro) (LOL @ the top rated comment!)

Captain Planet (ending theme) (My absolute all time favorite! No other song is this catchy!)

Centurions (intro) (Another cool one.)

Challenge of the Gobots (intro) (My favorite transforming robots. I "discovered them" before Transformers and since I loved the show I never even wanted to give a chance to Transformers.)

Iron Man second season opening.

It puts chest hair on your chests, even if you are a woman. Also it cures cancer of the balls, and if you play it on top volume it impregnates every girl and woman in vicinity by sheer TESTOSTERONE POISONING alone.

X-Men.... That opener always gives me goosebumps.

That, and every 90s Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network cartoon that existed.

Nothing beats that... And Sonic Underground.

Yu Yu Hakusho's Smile Bomb, glorious ish no doubt.


Dragonball Z's openin the rock actually fit really well.

Dragonball GT's opening, the rap version and the Japanese-English translated versions are both equally wonderful:)

Can't believe I forgot Silverhawks and Thundercats. Amazing openings and songs.


Also, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs has one of the best soundtracks in TV history, period, and of course an amazing intro.
