Higglytown Heroes was a children’s animated television series that aired from 2004 to 2008. The show followed a group of young friends who lived in the imaginative town of Higglytown, where every citizen had a unique occupation or role as a “hero.” One notable aspect of the show was its catchy and spirited theme song, which added to its charm and popularity among young viewers.
The theme song is entitled “Here in Higglytown.” It is credited to composers John Flansburgh and John Linnell, or the two that make up American alternative rock band They Might Be Giants. They, of course, performed the theme song, as well.
The lyrics
Here in Higglytown
Things all jump around
Just like the Higglytown heroes
(Our heroes)
They all work together
Making fun together
Come see the Higglytown heroes
Eubie, Wayne, Twinkle, Kip and Fran
All hop and pop around
Soon they’ll learn about real heroes
Who and why and how
Now
Here in Higglytown
We’ll all jump around
And meet the Higglytown heroes
(Our heroes)
We’ll all work together
Having fun together
With all the Higglytown heroes
Let’s all play together
Save the day together
Come join the Higglytown heroes
