Way too cool theme tune. And you know why? Because it is by one of the top metal vocalists of all time—Dee Snider from the band Twisted Sister. That’s right. How many shows—some don’t even consider this a show really, as it was just a segment of Eek! The Cat—can brag about such a thing? [...]
If you ask me, this theme is definitely in the top five for cartoons. Pole Position! So, remember in my Rainbow Brite post I said I don’t remember the last time I searched for an animated series without the names Shuki Levy and Haim Saban? So now guess who composed this theme? That’s right. However, [...]
Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and Bo Jackson as cartoon characters. What a concept. Let’s start with the opening sequence and theme—what else? Sorry for the long and irritating intro. Here are the lyrics. ProStars theme song lyrics Michael’s prime is slam time ProStars, show stars Wayne’s hot slam shot Bo knows where to go ProStars, [...]
Here we go. The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers was a 65-episode animated series that was first shown in 1986. First, let’s relive the theme and the classic opening sequence. Here’s the narration: In 2086, two peaceful aliens journey to Earth seeking our help. In return, they gave us the plans for our first hyperdrive, [...]
This is for the original animated series, what else? There has been a long-time, ongoing mystery behind this theme, and the question remains unanswered: Who were the performers? Besides the chants from the turtles, of course. In fact, there is an ongoing open thread at IMDb regarding this one. (Damn, I lost the link.) Composers [...]
Very, very popular franchise that has a cult following to this day. So, guess what? There are some very familiar names in this theme tune once again—possibly the biggest names in animation music. Shuki Levy and Haim Saban ring a bell? Yes, once again, they are the composers of this theme—and all music for the [...]
This animated series is so music-oriented that not only does the theme have a full version, they released a soundtrack as well—rare in retro cartoons. With that said, the official title of the theme song is “Where the Truth Lies”. Deep, right? It was performed by a band who called themselves Exchange. I said “called,” [...]
One of the better theme songs for cartoons of the past. Love that guitar work. Unfortunately for this one, additional information for the tune is limited. In fact, the only written, or credited, name for music is that of the company Saban Entertainment. I, for one, have become familiar with Saban because of its founders [...]
Eat your heart out, Criminal Minds, Profiler came first. True fans would know that there were two profilers in the show’s four-season run. Ally Walker as Dr. Samantha Waters for seasons 1 to 3, and Jamie Luner as Dr. Rachel Burke for the fourth and final season. Now, because the opening video sequence is lead [...]
These were some of my favorite toys back in the eighties. Now, as theme songs-centered as we are, The Centurions lacked that singable, “go, go, go!” type of intro tune normally attached to boys-centered animation shows that keep them glued to the screens from start to finish. The Centurions had that narration-style, more-matured approach that [...]
