Favorite theme- song from any show or cartoon

[Ataru Moroboshi]

Phew, tonigirl, now THAT's a question impossible to answer for me. I love lots of TV tunes!!! I'll divide mine in 5 categories:

I. Anime: Well, there's "Give a Reason" from Slayers; the Kinnikuman's original and French openings; "Cha-La-Head-Cha-La" from Dragon Ball Z; the opening from Mazinger Z; Cowboy Bebop's main theme; the French opening from "Captain Tsubasa", "Wowser" (the original Japanese opening) and much more.

II. American-made cartoons: Hmm... The one from Droids; that "Can't Touch Me" from Family Guy; He-Man and The Masters of the Universe; Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids; the Spanish opening from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog; Rubik the Magic Cube; The Globetrotters; The Groovie Goolies; Foofur and some others.

III. European-made cartoons: Inspector Gadget, Dogtanian and David the Gnome rank between my favorites, aong with Jimbo the Plane and the Welsh series Fireman Sam (gotta love New Wave).

IV. Other kiddie TV-Shows: I loved the opening of Fraggle Rock!!!

V. TV series: Well, A LOT of them. It's hard to pick some, but my personal favorite is the theme Hill Street Blues. Then there are the ones from L.A. Law, Soap, Law and Order, Lou Grant, The A Team, Magnum and, I swear I hate the series but love the theme: The Love Boat, WAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I might read through the thread later so sorry if I missed anything before posting - Just like to add in that I used to update a thread with a new anime theme song every week.. Maybe I'll search for it later.

The theme song from The Mighty Hercules!

Hercules,
hero of song and story
Hercules,
winner of ancient glory
fighting for the right
fighting with his might
with the strength of ten
ordinary men!
Hercules,
people are safe when near him
Hercules,
only the evil fear him
softness in his eyes
iron in his thighs
virtue in his heart
fire in every part
of the mighty
Hercules!

I have so many but some of them are:

"Free" from Basquash
"Beautiful World" by Utada Hikaru from Evangelion 1.0
The season 6 version of "Kiss me" from The Cosby Show
The theme from Batman Beyond
"Now or Never" by m-flo/Chemistry from Astro Boy 2003

I do not think that song is appropriate in these days. The part about "iron in his thighs" has too many connotations that were obviously not intended by its creators. Seriously, I am laughing myself red in face as I write this.

I like the song from Dastardly & Muttley: http://www.toontracker.com/lyrics/dastardly%20and%20muttley%20lyrics.htm

II. American-made cartoons: Hmm... The one from Droids; that "Can't Touch Me" from Family Guy; He-Man and The Masters of the Universe; Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids; the Spanish opening from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog; Rubik the Magic Cube; The Globetrotters; The Groovie Goolies; Foofur and some others.

I watched one disc of Groovie Goolies, mainly becuase I wanted to hear some of the songs again. It was the most boring thing I have ever seen! They used & endlessly reused animated clips to the point that I think each show had no more than 5 minutes of new animation in it. As much as they each had about 2 unique songs, these also reused the same tired old clips, & featured only a few seconds of animation that was unique to a particular song, & they even reused those few seconds numerous times as the song played. The lyrics were very short, taking only about 45 seconds, but they repeated them so that each song was about 2:20 long! Laugh-In was much better than this cheap immitation for kids! And that's the truth, thhhpt! edit: or is it spelled "pbtbtbt!"?

Lol! The "Iron in his thighs" referred to Herk's great speed and his ability to lift great weights.
