best cartoon theme song

[KimberlyGoreHound]

Rocket Robin Hood, of course! We come from near and distant stars, from the edge of the galaxy forth, to rally 'round Rocket Robin Hood, greater man has never been born!

Fuck yeah.

 

[Joshimodo]

Megas XLR deserves a mention.

 

[scoopz]

The original Pokemon theme song, Johnny Bravo, Samuari Jack that I can think of off the top of my head.

 

[DaMullet]

ITS RIPPING TIME!

 

[Benjirimm]

I'd have to go with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if8YvZG800c&feature=related

 

[JBGigas]

I'm not sure if it's the best, but it belonged to my childhood. Now watching it again gives me so much nostalgia ; _ ;

 

[rayen020]

always kind of partial to this theme song

also i really dig the DC cartoons openings

and marvel i guess

in b4 bronies

And finally
That show is why spend most of my time on the internet, i get zapped into the computer and become an insane pop-culture superhero.

EDIT: OH YEAH

 

[Ti0k0]

Indeed, Pinky & the Brain is the winner, everything is explained, plain and simple!
But also Boondock, Inspector Gadget and of course:

FREAKAZOID

Don, you fail at embedding
Let's give this a second go, because I'm interested as to what the "badass" theme is.

Old cartoons had some catchy tunes, but they aren't badass.

Oh, and is someone gonna make this into a double compilation CD for us or something now?
(please?)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2CSIRXe88I It's not really a cartoon, and I didn't watch it as a kid, but this song has the most kicking guitar of any kids show ever.

There are a lot of good ones I can think of: Megas XLR, Samurai Jack, Darkwing Duck, Ducktales, Sonic Sat AM, Street Sharks, ATHF, Harvey Birdman, Boondocks, Batman TAS, Justice League, and JLU, 90's Spider-man, Sonic X (even though the rest of that cartoon is a pile of shite), Batman Beyond, Swat Kats, Tale Spin, Teen Titans, X-men, Johnny Bravo, Animaniacs, Inspector Gadget, and all the rest I can't think of. And that's before we get into anime. Then you run into stuff like Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo and Baccano! and Sailor Moon and DBZ and shit really gets real.

As far as anime goes, I don't think I've ever run into a better song than this. Everyone knows what I'm talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAlztMvvNkk

2nded the Galaxy Rangers! They were great! Amazing show, suprisingly deep and consistent for a kids show.

Silverhawks:
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors(awesome vocals):
C.O.P.S.:
Iron Man (Season 2) - Tony Stark was never manlier:
Spiral Zone:
Fist of the North Star (2nd opening) TOUGH BOY!:

 

[F'Angus]

I know it's....

You are all wrong. It's Dangermouse.

Ah curses Ninja'd

But you Sir are correct!

 

[wolf thing]

[Torrasque]

This, of course:

Really wanna say this one, but,

There can be no other answer... wooo oooo!

gets me every time with that wooOOOOooooo!

Very unique series. I found out about it a few years ago.

I wanna also say Cybersix, but that classifies as anime in my mind, which deserves another thread.

If I were to include anime intros, I'd have about 8 different series that blow all of these out of the water. IMO of course.

 

[ThePurpleCube]

Seriously? No-one's said Pinkie and the Brain?

Come on people.

 

[coppah20HE]

Do cartoon movies count?

 

[Robert Ewing]

I'm gonna have to hand it to the Japanese here.

Bleach's numerous theme songs are awesome, especially asterix by Orange Range, and Arigatou by... whoever... And my all time favourite children shows theme songs, are of the Zoids series. Specifically this one.

I love it to the end of my life, I've been repeating this tune over and over in my head since I was 7 years old.
