(Looks at music library with a specific category for collected themes from various shows) This I a thread for me! XD!

First, Anime clearly doesn't count, or we'd be here all day. Ok, so most of the really good ones have already been mentioned (Can't believe someone beat me to Megas XLR). Here's a list of what I think is missing:

Probaly my vote for #1


Is it weird that me n my brother were probably more excited bout this show than our sister?

I was going to add the intro for the original series too, but as it turns out its kinds slow (It's still fun, but not in my "top" list).

Seen a lot of ppl mention this one, but no embeds. Short but sweet.

I could probably go on, but I think I've taken up enough space. There are several older shows that have fun tunes (like the Flintstones), but for me they don't quite hold up to the Rock/pop intros of more recent shows.

This thread reminds me that I watched a lot of american cartoons in my youth, and before I had mastered English, I would watch them in either Swedish or French (I'm a swede who grew up moving from country to country. Spent 6 year straight in French-speaking countries before having to learn English in international schools). Basically, for any show released in the 90's: I'll probably recognize it (and the intro tune), but I wont' recognize the voices (or words for the songs). This is especially true for Darkwing Duck , which I remember as the favourite cartoon of my youth, dubbed to Swedish (Probably cring-worthily horribly as well).


EDIT: Sorry, almost forgot. I think this is a relatively unknown cartoon, and the intro is more than good enough to stick in your head for a whole day (Even if it's been years since you watched it).

Lets hoped that worked. While I am not saying this is the best intro of all time, and seeing as all my childhood favourites are up, I thought I'd post my modern favourite.

Now, lets hope I didn't goof the embedding...

No cartoon song puts a smile on my face like this:


Though this comes quite close:


Clips are in Swedish because I don't know the English titles.

It's SO much better than the Norwegian version, so I prefer the Swedish intro before the one in my own language :p

Power Puff Girls intro was amazing


listen to the theme as it changes for the characters telling you instantly what their personality is
Great stuff

Maybe not my favorite theme song, but since most of them were already posted


One of the few themes were I think the localized version is better than the American version.

Awesome suggestions so far all.

EDIT: Ah, I see someone linked this from youtube then.

I totally love the Avenger's opening, but WTH do they ruin it Season 2 with that friggin' narration? IT'S SEASON 2! WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE ALREADY!!!

Hey, if you're into Comics, and I know you are, check these out that haven't been listed yet.

I think they're still showing re-runs of it here, I was only 1 when they stopped making it. Pretty much everyone who were born in the 80's or 90's here have seen it I think.

Ah some people with good taste.

I second Galaxy Rangers, Saber Rider and Ulysses 31. All three totally awesome openers.

Of course Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell S.A.C {both} totally own too.
