Post your favorite cartoon theme songs!!!

Sign in to disble this ad
My slow day at work has devolved into a youtube nostalgia trip! Think back to your Saturday mornings... what cartoon theme songs stuck out to you the most?


I'm a ginormous sucker for 50's infused power-poppy goodness... as such, my favorite theme songs were both:


Muppet Babies - YouTube - muppet babies

and

Heathcliff - YouTube - Heathcliff cartoon intro




What were yours?!

It's not a cartoon but it's pretty awesome anyway.

Full House

It'd be fun to play it in the middle of another song during a bar gig or something. That way, when people boo, I'd just pretend it was because of that song.

+1 - we used to play song that in my old band, people would love it. We'd end up having to play it a couple of times during the course of the night

Oh, I haven't played it yet (I will when my new fretless gets here). But the Hey Arnold theme is still the single best cartoon theme of all time!
