Best theme song from a tv show/cartoon?

What's your favourite theme song from a classic or current tv show or cartoon?

I have to vote thundercats

it's just excellently cheezy.

Transformers or the theme to Aqua teen hunger force or to a movie Mastodon with " I will Cut You With A Linoleum Knife"(below)
Don't talk, watch!
Don't talk, watch!
You came here. Watch it.
Don't like it? Walk out.
We still have all your ****ing money.

Do not nudge, kick or jiggle the seat in front of you.
I'm sitting there!
I am everywhere at once
and I will cut you up.

If you make out here,
I will cut your lips and tongue
from your head
with a linoleum knife.

Do not explain the plot.
If you don't understand, then you should not be here.
Your money is our money
and we will spend it on drugs.

Do not crinkle your food wrappers loudly.
Be considerate to others,
or I will bite your torso
and give you a disease.

Did you bring your baby?
Babies don't watch this.
Take the seed outside. Leave it in the streets.
Run over it after the show.

If I see you videotaping this movie,
Satan will rain down your throat with hot acid
and dissolve your testicles
and turn your guts into snakes.

This is copyrighted movie for Time Warner.
If I find that you've sold it on eBay,
I will break into your house
and tear your wife in half.

IT SHOULD BE PLAYED AT THE START OF ALL MOVIES.

Bet The Wachowski's won't even use anything like that in the opening credits for the movie later this year!

monkeyfudge · 12-02-2008 11:17PM

Can't find the english version... but the song is probably more awesome in it's original French.

Pole Position? Speed Racer? What in the name of God are they?

Here's another offering:

Ya, well I am only 22! But I think Earthworm Jim was on when I was a little older than the target audience. I could be wrong, but I remember my little brother, who's 7 years younger than me, watching it. ( I think!)

Oh and I make no apologies for being a child of the 90s, that would be my parents' fault!

User45701 · 13-02-2008 02:30PM

Some great ones but im in work so ill have a propper watch later on but im suprised that noone mentioned

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me...
