Of all the great cartoon themes songs…this one is Number One, with a bullet.
What? No votes for George of the Jungle?
Super Chicken is one of my favorites.
*
When you find yourself in danger,
When you’re threatened by a stranger,
When it looks like you will take a lickin’,
(puk, puk, puk)
There is someone waiting,
Who will hurry up and rescue you,
Just Call for Super Chicken!
(puk, aack!)
Fred, if you’re afraid you’ll have to overlook it,
Besides you knew the job was dangerous when you took it.
(puk, aack!)*
Seconded!
No love for Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds?
There was a whole bunch of European (mostly Spanish I think) cartoons on Children’s BBC in the 1980s - Dogtanian, Mysterious Cities of Gold, Around the World with Willy Fogg, Ulysses 31* and so on - and most of them had great theme tunes.
- “Mortals - you defy the Gods? I sentence you to travel among
unknown stars. Until you find the Kingdom of Hades, your bodies will stay as
lifeless as stone!”

The old Marvel cartoons from the 60s.
Captain America
“When Captain America throws his mighty shield

Just that second line makes it great!

“Tony Stark, makes you feel He’s the cool exec With a heart of steel
As Iron Man all jets a-blaze He’s fighting and smiting with repulsor rays”
Thor
“Cross the Rainbow Bridge of Asgard, Where the booming heavens roar,
You’ll behold in breathless wonder, The God of Thunder, Mighty Thor!”

We’ve got a gorilla for sale
Magilla Gorilla for sale.
Won’t you buy him,
Take him home and try him,

Don’t you want a little gorilla you can call your own,
A gorilla who’ll be with ya when you’re all alone?
No love for Star Blazers? :eek: I felt sure that had to be here somewhere.
I am reminded of Andy Kaufmann’s bit with the Mighty Mouse theme song on Saturday Night Live…
:smack:
SWAT KATS: The Radical Squadron had a cool, all instrumental, theme.
I’ve never heard this to know the meter, so I had to sing it to Black Sabbath.

Breathing fire,
His head in the sky…

How can the answer be anything other than Thundercats?
