Mine are:

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You

I liked all the cartoon themes that you mentioned, Trixter. I'll just add one more, which was my personal favorite theme song, which was for The Littles. It had a New Wave beat to it and I always used to hop up and dance to it when the cartoon came on... :rolleyes: :lol:

Remembering Transformers easily, but I may think of more. Was the Robotix TV ad music also used as the show's theme?

The little part the Misfits get in the theme song to Jem is amusing.

I particularly loved the theme for Fang Face (Who not many people seem to remember)

But I have to give a special mention to that old classic everyone knows the words to "The Flintstones".

The only thing is I just can't bring myself to sing the line "We'll have a gay old time". So I've changed it to "We'll have a great old time".

Snorks - all three or four versions thereof ;)

Hoyt Curtin is my hero among TV composers... take a look at his IMDB (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Curtin,+Hoyt+S.) listing and see how many cartoon themes he was responsible for. (Jonny Quest, Flintstones, all the H-B greats!) He was truly a genius, and he was also a genuinely nice person, who was so much help to me when I started my Wildfire site. (he was the musical director/orchestrator for my favorite show) I'm going to put a tribute page on my site sometime this year.

Ulysses 31 had a great theme song in Spanish. A lot of the background music in that series was great to listen to.

You listed some awesome themes.

She-Ra! Funny. I went to see the She-Ra movie at the theatres when it came out back in '85 or '86 :D

I had forgotten about the Snork's theme song! I caught an episode on Boomerang a few months ago. You're right, galaga; it was indeed an underwater version of the Smurfs! :lol:
