No one has mentioned the theme from “Mighty Mouse”. Used to love that. Of course the reprehensible movie by Jim Carry did put a bad taste in the mouth about all things even vaguely related to Andy Kaufman. But it was fun and catchy long before those two attempted comedy. I echo with ghusto both “Supper Chicken” and “George of the Jungle” and add “Tom Slick.” Neither the cartoons nor the themes took themselves very seriously. Much less anal time. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Slithy Tove \* > **The music from Johnny Quest had everything going for it. It’s a scientific fact that music like that cannot be made without marijuana.** I take it you’re talking about the _original_ JQ, made in 1964. Yes, that theme was fantastic. It was the first song I thought of when I read the topic. ---

… but one which I **still** can’t get out of my head: \*Masked crusaders, working overtime, Fighting crime, Fighting crime! Secret raiders, who will neutralize, Soon as they arrive At the site! Tracker’s gonna lead the mission; His Spectrum’s got such suuuu-per viiii-sion. Muh muh muh muh, MASK! Is the mighty power that can save the da-a-a-ay, Muh muh muh muh, MASK! No one knows what lies behind their masked chara-a-a-ade, Muh muh muh muh, MASK! Always riding hot on V.E.N.O.M.'s tra-a-a-ail, Come see tha laser rays Fly awaaaaaaaaaaay!\* ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Alatariel \* > \*\*I loved the theme to Star Blazers (the show). Wish I had the words…but it was incredibly cool to me. \*\* Dunno what the original Japanese was like, but the English lyrics are: \*We’re off to outer space We’re leaving mother Earth To save the human race Our Star Blazers! Searching for a distant star Heading off to Iskandar Leaving all we love behind Who knows what dangers we’ll find? We must be strong and brave Our home we’ve got to save If we don’t, in just one year Mother Earth will disappear! Fighting with the Gamelon We won’t stop until we’ve won Then we’ll return and when we arrive The Earth will survive With our Star Blazers!\* (Good god, no, I don’t have them memorized. I’ve got a sound file of the theme.) – Bob [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-cartoon-theme-song-music/53013.md?page=2)
