History AwesomeMusic / WesternAnimation

* The epic rock ballad, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti0ej7pOF30 Sweet Victory]]", is an unexpected yet satisfying ending to the episode "Band Geeks" in ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants''

* ''(cars squealing)'' Come on guys! AdventureTime folks! [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaCrZEqmNOc Finn's Baby Song]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1AlCxMo6wk Evicted]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_6QXLl8DhI Freak City]] to name a few.

* From the mind of DannyElfman, based on the theme to the movie ''ForbiddenZone'', there is the theme to ''Series/{{Dilbert}}''. Paired with the panning titles, it captures the insanity of Dilbert's world perfectly. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpivIYJFjd4 Have a listen!]]

* While ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'' only has about eleven seconds to cram in the original series awesome theme, it does so very, ''very'' well.

* Arguably, the best thing about {{Thundercats}} was the awesome [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qd_IsxgAf8 opening theme music]].

* The opening theme of ''TheRealGhostbusters'' manages to top the original version. Jim Latham's version for ''ExtremeGhostbusters'' ...not so much.

->"And your second wish?"\\
"I have just the thing! I wish I had my own theme music!"

** This troper would like to nominate "Meet Saiko Tek", "Trooper's Tour", "Bar Fight", and "Final Battle" from the Trouble in Tokyo OST.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEx9r5enZsk Batman: The Animated Series]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPTOvhbVfVc this too]]
** Awesome, in part, because it's the same theme Danny Elfman wrote for the Michael Keaton ''Batman'' movie.
*** Some of the best TV watching memories of [[KnownUnknown This Troper]]'s childhood were when that Warner Bros. logo faded away, the police headlights came on, and those horns started blaring. One of the best themes to a television show. Ever.

** while it never made it into a batman movie or tv show but this troper feels this [[VillainSong villain song]] from a cancelled batman musical deserves an honorable mention [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-SLN3whXW0]] if you listen closely you can here the Danny Elfman theme mixed in with the awesomeness that is Meatloaf.

** TheMovie ''BatmanBeyond: Return of the Joker'' has one of the best musical scores in any film ''ever'' heard, including reprises of the series' main theme as the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sjq1RH9nh7g beginning]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ymi2nnkR6lQ end title]].
** Also the heavy metal remix of the ''Batman: The Animated Series'' intro that played when Bruce was rejuvenated in a Lazarus Pit.

** A great piece of music plays during the climax of "A Better World", when the tide of battle against the Justice Lords is turned by none other than Lex Luthor. The DVD commentary for the episode recalls the challenge in creating a ''heroic'' theme for Superman's most iconic villain. They succeeded.

** Green Arrow's theme is so Awesome that whenever he goes into battle ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GMbeQe0klA He hums it himself]]''

* ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'': the version of the InstrumentalThemeTune used for a ThemeMusicPowerUp, the music during both Aang's fights [[http://audio.avatarspiritmedia.net/treetopbattle.mp3 with Jet]] and the Yu Yan archers, and the Agni Kai music. [[http://www.myspace.com/thetrackteammusicandsound Listen (to a couple) for yourself]].

** No, the scene in My Brother's Keeper is better! After so much doubt and misery, Danny is shown flying happily as that particular rendition plays as Jazz comes to terms with knowing her brother is a hero.

* [[HeyArnold Hey Arnold]]'s Jim Lang gave us quite a few, including "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeM4lWhr39M Thinkin' It Over]]," which plays while Stinky contemplates his role as a [[ButtMonkey Butt Monkey]] spokesperson for Yahoo soda.

* Perhaps this is ridiculous. But I really don't care. I am not ashamed to admit that I tear up every time I hear the {{Rugrats}} theme. It's like I'm suddenly five years old again.

** [[IronManArmoredAdventures He's, A man, on a mission. Armed with, high tech, ammunition...]]
* ChalkZone, definitely, for its theme music, occasional songs within episodes ("Hula-Baloo", "FirePlug Ballet", etc.) and especially the music videos that ended most every episode!
* ''TheBackyardigans'' can make genres you have never heard of sound good.
* The epic rock ballad, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti0ej7pOF30 Sweet Victory]]", is an unexpected yet satisfying ending to the episode "Band Geeks" in ''SpongebobSquarepants''

*** The Pantera score from Prehibernation Week.

* All of the music in ThePenguinsOfMadagascar. Particularly the incidentals and montages. "The Greatest Danger is Love" and "Graveyeard 8" stand out in my mind as being awesome. Particularly since I never would've pegged Jeff Bennett (Kowalski's VA) as a folk singer, but he, John DiMaggio, and Fred Stoller pulled off an amazing banjo folk song that was completely unexpected and awesome.

* While the new [[ThunderCats2011 Thundercats]] series only has about eleven seconds to cram in the original series awesome theme, it does so very, ''very'' well.

* TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy has the episode [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fCjP9E254M Little Rock of Horrors]], inspired by LittleShopOfHorrors, set to the sublime and [[EarWorm very catchy]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i7tqWMbUFU BRAINS!]] by Music/{{Voltaire}} (additionally, his song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1plioE-B0I Land of the Dead]] was in [[TheMovie Billy and Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure]]) and in the same movie [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aRlqyR7NKE Scary O]]. Also [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6raidRForwg Battle of the Bands]] with a small part of the song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs3WV3Fu-kw Darkness]] by SPF [[{{Goth}} 1000]]. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMMgwNDxMhQ Keeper of the Reaper]] has a very nice song as well.
* [[DextersLab "Enter at your peril, past the vaulted door; impossible things will happen that the world's never seen before..."]]
** "In Dexter's laboratory lives the smartest boy you've ever seen. But Dee Dee blows his experiments to smithereens! Yes, there's gloom and doom when things go boom...IN DEXTER'S LAB!"
* The ''Ben 10: Alien Force'' intro uses the main theme from the original ''Ben 10,'' but adds a more mature, Orchestra (and Horn) touch to it. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tDGkXA1N-Q -He's Ben 10!]]
* The new Scooby Doo [[ScoobyDooMysteryInc Mystery Inc]] actually has one called [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWvYN4ftNHs&fmt=18 Trap of Love.]]

* ''See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey'', the MusicalEpisode of PowerpuffGirls had a lot of this, particularly the songs by Gnomey and the final battle.

** ''AdventureTime'' has some pretty catchy songs but "What Was Missing" really stands out for "I'm Just Your Problem" and "My Best Friends In The World", two truly epic songs that showcase the power of music.
* The [[TheEighties "totally 80's"]] vibe of ''RegularShow'' has an awesome 80's soundtrack to match. Special recognition should most definately be given to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkSwHy9eG9U the use of Loverboy's "Working for the Weekend" during the montage scene from the episode "Caffinated Concert Tickets".]] Just seeing the montage makes this tropette's heart race.
* How about the DuckDodgers [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpsxfEU-4Is&feature=related theme]] (full version [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4PVLzR9XcY&feature=related here]]), with TheFlamingLips and ''Tom Jones'' Doing vocals?! These guys really put their all into it!

* Most of the occasional musical numbers on ''{{Futurama}}'' are completely awesome. Especially the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z_zqOu5WB4 'Robot Hell']] song and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0zYpAUPoaA 'This Trinity's Going to War']] from TheMovie.

* Whatever the faults in ''Battle of the Planets'', its opening and closing themes are truly great.
* The ''SailorMoon'' dub may be a terrible {{Macekre}} but there is still something about the song "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG6FhVX6I5M Carry On]]" that is simply ''awesome''. Shame about the edits.

* How can you put the terms "{{Macekre}}" and "Awesome Music" in the same sentence, and forget about ''{{Robotech}}?'' Three series tied together with a beautiful audio soundtrack (YourMilageMayVary on the vocal parts, though). To whit: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cped70vOev4 The 15th Squadron]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRscJimiItA Roy Fokker's Theme]], [[strike:Hikaru Ichijo]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVCQkf_8O_U Rick Hunter's theme]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnOz8ScyV98 Battle Station]], and of course, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn5cFNWeAAU Alien Attack]].

** On that note, the AnimatedAdaptation's version of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3nNwixwsUg The Addam's Family theme]].
* {{Metalocalypse}} has some downright awesome music. Just listen to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDggqnnNuDo Go Into the Water]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3JpBY7sOJQ Awaken]]. There's a good reason Dethklok made the best-selling death metal album of all time. '''In real life.'''

* In ''HomeMovies'', Brendon Small works in some cool garage band music with the band SCAB, including a Franz Kafka rock opera. Front man Duane, in a guitar competition, takes Brendon's trashed, untuned rental guitar and makes it sing. (He doesn't win. He was robbed.)

* Thanks to AuthorAppeal, ''FamilyGuy'' is lucky enough to have a truly lavish soundtrack. From the jazzy [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IJTO1_hfwE main theme]] (with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFVEQ4mtoQQ remix]] by Frank Sinatra, Jr.!), to the gleeful TakeThat [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NDPT0Ph5rA song]] against the [[MediaWatchdogs FCC]], to the epic [[RunningGag chicken fight]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpoki4wBwtA theme]], the composers seem to be on a never-ending quest to [[BeyondTheImpossible top themselves]]. And ''then'' they made an album with a nine-minute big band medley of [[TheEighties 80's]] sitcom [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NckJXtZqQA themes]].

* Every number from ''SouthPark: [[TheMovie Bigger, Longer and Uncut]]''. But special note goes to "Mountain Town", "Kyle's Mom's a Bitch", "What Would Brian Boitano Do?", and "Little Boy, You're Going to Hell (Hell Isn't Good)". Specialer note goes to the "LaResistance Medley", "Blame Canada", and "It's Easy M'kay". This troper realizes that's actually most of the songs right there.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG3RKQcSKrY Mountain Chase]] from ''Horton Hears a Who''. This troper was genuinely stunned to find that it wasn’t written by Ennio Morricone.

* ''TheVentureBrothers'' has quite an ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WblP-uRQ_U&a=BPYZm0RNHSw epic]]'' ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuxRxO0Y_g4 soundtrack]]'' that manages to have quite a bit of variety to it, even the occasional classical piece sneaked in for good measure. The usage of "Mars, Bringer of War", in the episode "Hate Floats", for example... Or compare/contrast the main theme for the show with the theme for ''[[ShowWithinAShow Rusty Venture]]'', as an example of the talent of [[{{ptitlephp55f3l}} J.G. Thirlwell]].

** Don't forget the absolutely awesome use of Pulp's 'Like A Friend' in the season 4 finale, [[http://youtu.be/9E4yrqGGLPo available here.]]

* The ''Biker Mice From Mars'' theme tune. And also the show's soundtrack especially the songs "Tunnel Rat" "Look Out Below" and "Born To Be Wild".
* ''Heavy Metal'' has a soundtrack that's not just awesome-it's awesomeness to the extreme.
* If there's anything about''{{Voltron}}'' that is definitely superior to the original anime, ''Go Lion'', it's the awesome score by John Peterson.

* TheMovie of ThePhantomTollbooth had a lot of moderately cute music...but two songs really stuck out in this troper's head as awesome. Tock's song "Time Is A Gift," and the GrandFinale, "Rhyme And Reason Reign." Yes, [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses everything IS better with Princesses]]...as long as their names are [[MeaningfulName Sweet Rhyme and Pure Reason.]] :)

* [[AquaTeenHungerForce MC Pee Pants]]'s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQvLKYu7izQ "I Want Candy"]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Wgbgx8FiCg "4 Da Shorteez"]].

* "Heritage of the Wolf" from ''Balto'', especially the scene where [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1uMmCTheQ4 Balto howls with the White Wolf]]. Also "Reach for the Light".
** And from the sequel, "Who You Really Are" which Muru sings to Aleu. Also, "The Grand Design", the song the wolf pack sings (including cameos from David Carradine and villain Mark Hamill!).

* The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 theme music, I'd post it, but I can't find the video on Youtube, only remixes and fan covers.

* ''{{Phantom 2040}}'' would probably be remembered only by fans of the hero identity, or fans of Peter Cheung, but it had [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md0i8B_aPqk a really awesome opening theme]].

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRPS3XlRYLk&feature=related "The Other Father Song"]], another EarWorm by TheyMightBeGiants. The lyric is also full of subtle, extremely creepy {{Foreshadowing}}.

* The opening theme of ''TheRealGhostbusters'' manages to top the original version. Jim Latham's version for ''ExtremeGhostbusters''...not so much.

** [[StevieWillShowYou This Troper]] has never heard this song before reading this article and clicking that YouTube link. He can confirm that it is, indeed, ''dazzling''. And it will be in regular rotation on his MP3 player, too.

* ThomasTheTankEngine had some awesome tunes, and here are some of them...

** The music played when Douglas rescues Oliver from the scrap yard, which turns Oliver's theme tune (a mixture of the music from ''The Great Escape'' and the ''Indiana Jones'' films) UptoEleven.

** The theme from ''Misty Island Rescue'', is, for this troper, probably the best music ever used for a children's show ever.
* What, no love for [[AnimalsOfFarthingWood The Animals of Farthing Wood]] ?! The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPz1Zy98bJw main theme/intro]] for the series is plain awesome! And also really nostalgic to This Troper.

* [[{{Libertista}} This editor]] is surprised that there has been still no mention to the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2x_4nCj4TI0 über-manlily awesome]] introduction of ''WesternAnimation/ConanTheAdventurer''.
* The ''entire soundtrack'' of CatsDontDance, with extra points to Animal Jam and Tell Me Lies. There's a ''reason'' this out of print RandyNewman soundtrack CD goes for upwards of $100.

* [[RockAndRule "My Name Is Mok,]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSGIZp9bBK4 Thanks A Lot!"]]
** Also from RockAndRule, "Send Love Through."
* The track at any moment in any of the 3 Ice Age movies, particularly the third. Arguably the best is the track during Bucks flashback in Ice Age 3.
* What? No love for GalaxyRangers? The soundtrack in all of its 80's rock glory was so beloved by the fanbase that they begged Mandell and Koch to put it on the DVD collection separately from the episodes.

* From the first CareBears movie: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcctwbAckBo&feature=related Care-a-Lot]], and from the second [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj9oLUWYSsY&feature=related Forever Young.]]

* SwatKats also got some pretty sweet ass music opening theme music too, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_AdxJWFUh4 one for season one]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsOrCq811r8 and another for season 2]].
* This Troper cannot be the only person who thinks the [[{{Jumanji}} Jumanji cartoon]] had [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq6PPv0MLq4&feature=related an excellent opening theme]].
* Might just be [[NostalgiaFilter nostalgia kicking in]], but [[http://www.retrojunk.com/tv/videos/1960-rescue-heroes/1653/#intro the theme tune]] for ''Rescue Heroes'' made a show based on TheRealHeroes almost ''work''.

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Animated/TheHobbit The Hobbit, as adapted by Rankin-Bass.]] "Down, Down to Goblin Town" and "Fifteen Birds in Five Fir Trees" are very catchy examples of the VillainSong, a catchiness that also grabs hold of the light-hearted "In the Valley, Ha Ha!" and "Rolling Down the Hole". The best of the soundtrack, I feel, is when Glenn Yarbrough sings "Roads" and "The Greatest Adventure." I watched that movie as a kid, and that music continues to make me feel along with it just like when I first heard it.
* Let's not forget the one {{Lucky Luke}} song almost everyone knows: I'm a poor lonesome cowboy a long way from home

* [[DorkAge Pretty much the only bit worth watching]] in the ''[[TomAndJerryTheMovie Tom And Jerry]]'' movie is the [[VillainSong delightful]] "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNbw1kUDp5M Money is Such a Beautiful Word]]". [[GuiltyPleasure After all]], [[strike:We've]] [[MemeticMutation They've GOT to have]] [[strike:[[MoneySong money]]]] TonyJay...

* From the mind of Danny Elfman, based on the theme to the movie {{Forbidden Zone}}, there is the theme to {{Dilbert}}. Paired with the panning titles, it captures the insanity of Dilbert's world perfectly. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpivIYJFjd4 Have a listen!]]

* {{Reboot}} [[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3116615247585668546# Firewall]] after episodes of despair and very close victories over [[BigBad Megabyte]] this triumphant song heralds the point where things start going the heroes way...[[ItGotWorse for awhile]].

* AvengerPenguins...''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_F84a492kY BIIIIKE UP!!!!]]''

* This was already mentioned on the film page but because it is also animation, AlphaAndOmega has the howling scenes, which were absolutely great.
* Though it is [[YourMileageMayVary somewhat polarizing]], the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5PU04gDMJ0 theme song]] to the GeronimoStilton cartoon does evoke spy movies a bit, at least in This Troper's opinion.
* The cheesy yet awesome ''Dinosaur Train'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNpoEoXi1lE theme song]].
* WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic has some solid songwriting behind it, leading [[AwesomeMusic/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic a number of catchy and great musical numbers]]. Notable numbers include:

* [[AmericanDad "Oh boy, it's swell to sayyy...]]'''''"...GOOD MORNING, U.S.AAAA!"'''''
* The G.I.Joe theme people, especially [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv_daZe1kNI&list=HL1319683409&feature=mh_lolz the movie theme]].

* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gur8ccqrQ9c When You Believe]]" in ''Prince of Egypt'', specifically the version that runs over the actual Exodus scene (this editor loathes Mariah Carey and can't stand the version of the song that runs over the closing credits).

* "Oogway's Ascension" from ''KungFuPanda.'' Also, what this editor would call Tai Lung's Theme, which appears at various points throughout "Tai Lung Escapes", "The Bridge", and "Shifu vs. Tai Lung." (Not to mention all the cool kung fu fighting music!)

* HowToTrainYourDragon has proven itself with an epic, ''epic'' score. Just for example, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyCjenPp1Tw Test Drive]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeMo6Af8CH8 Astrid Goes Out For A Spin]], also [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFF1KEqjg0Y This is Berk]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIXu45PkbKA Battling the Green Death]]. It all culminates in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5KOERF_akc Coming Back Around]], which is physically impossible to listen to without getting at least a tiny swelling in your chest at the sheer epic.
** I submit that [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CJ96LGGP6w Forbidden Friendship]] is what happens when the concept of {{Nakama}} is turned into music.

* ChickenRun has a wonderful soundtrack. Particularly the Main Titles, Flip Flop and Fly, and every piece of music in the movie after and including Rocky, A Fake All Along. One would be surprised how [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFR3Fmx2BP4 awesome]] the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUDCbOVmSdU soundtrack]] to [[ChickenRun a film about chickens]] can get.
* ''Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron'' is almost an entire soundtrack of awesome. "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYBQBGcYHa0 You Can't Take Me]]" and the instrumental "Run Free" are both stand-outs, though.

** Bryan Adams' RhymingWithItself problems aside, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzRtj9a357Y Get Off My Back]]" is ''{{badass}}''.
** The way ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEKVT9cvddk Sound the Bugle Now]]'' segways from TearJerker to [[HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarming]] [[AwesomeMoments Awesomeness]] is ''beautiful''.

** Certainly no, since [[{{Oliveira}} This Troper]] also likes the soundtrack of that movie, and particularly loves [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8bBziwkrSA&feature=PlayList&p=3D01DA04B418D149&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=37 "The Trail We Blaze]], the most beautiful song in the whole thing. That's no surprise, since it was wrote and sung by ''Sir Elton John''.

* No love for Megamind? I mean, even when looking at the choice of regular music (all the way from AC/DC to Guns an' Roses) you can see they knew what they were doing. But the soundtrack itself is also made of awesomeness, particularly [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFBM84clR70 Ollo]] 'Evil Lair' and 'Black Mamba.' And if [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LucLOSvN9ns Rejection In the Rain]] doesn't at least make you sad... Well, let's just say, it's a good sountrack. It was made by Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe, for gods sake!

* Over ''The Land before Time's'' closing credits, this [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMD5nzSSOMUa version of the music that has been playing at all the best moments plays]]. it makes at least this troper sob every last time.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrsCUyPaCdg "Yer Beautiful, Baby"]] from Don Bluth's ''Thumbelina''. Yeah, yeah, the movie's a shallow Disney rip-off and it reeks of [[TastesLikeDiabetes sweetness]], but godammit if that opening bass line isn't awesome. Of course, then the vocals kick in...
** It may be a blatant rip-off of A Whole New World from {{Aladdin}}, but this troper is still very fond of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuL21jFZ9fg "Let Me Be Your Wings."]]
* Jerry Goldsmith's brilliant score to ''The Secret of NIHM'', especially the cue that plays during the film's climax.

* MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic has some solid songwriting behind it, leading [[AwesomeMusic/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic a number of catchy and great musical numbers]]. Notable numbers include:

Cartoons are notorious for having catchy theme songs. But some 'toons take it a step further.

** MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic has some solid songwriting behind it, leading [[AwesomeMusic/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic a number of catchy and great musical numbers]]. Notable numbers include:

-->[[FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]], being very, very meta(l)

* The opening theme of ''The Real {{Ghostbusters}}'' manages to top the original version. Jim Latham's version for ''Extreme Ghostbusters''...not so much.
** Similarly, the little-known opening [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH8yd2xLL8s theme]] of 1986's ''[[{{ptitle1094ykag}} Filmation's GhostBusters]]'' is this, despite the fact that its only lyrics are "Let's go, Ghostbusters/Let's go". The pipe organ section, which interpolates part of [[JohannSebastianBach Bach]]'s "Music/ToccataAndFugueInDMinor", has something to do with this.

* The kickass [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fYTA7bxqP4opening theme]] to ''JonnyQuest''--the '''[[DisContinuity only]]''' ''JonnyQuest'' [[DisContinuity series that has ever been made.]]

* ''AnAmericanTail'' has several, though the best come from that or ''Fievel Goes West''. [[{{Discontinuity}} There were no movies after the second]].

* [[AmericanDad "Oh boy, it's swell to sayyy...]]'''''"...GOOD MORNING, U.S.AAAA!"'''''

* Honestly, [[BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold Batman]] gets so much good music that sometimes, it just drives us...[[NeilPatrickHarris Wait for it...]]... [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHY9USNC_Fk&feature=related BATS.]]

* How about the DuckDodgers [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpsxfEU-4Is&feature=related theme]] (full version [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4PVLzR9XcY&feature=related here]]), with TheFlamingLips and ''Tom Jones'' Doing vocals?! These guys really put their all into it!

** MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic has some solid songwriting behind it, leading a number of catchy and great musical numbers. Notable numbers include:

* ''(cars squealing)'' Come on guys! WesternAnimation/AdventureTime folks! [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaCrZEqmNOc Finn's Baby Song]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1AlCxMo6wk Evicted]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_6QXLl8DhI Freak City]] to name a few.

* MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic has some solid songwriting behind it. Notable numbers include:
** Pinkie Pie's impromptu numbers as a whole are quite catchy, especially [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tiynTPuUUM Giggle at the Ghostie]]
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyrAkwJ6WsY Winter Wrap-up]] song is still being hummed by fans. And check out the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E80LeGAE0cQ remix]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSbXGsysAAk Art of the Dress]] from "Suited For Success".
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uYt3hEmAtE The Cutie Mark Crusaders theme song]] crosses this trope with SoBadItsGood
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu3zt5T7gYM "At the Gala"]], the epic musical number from the season 1 finale, especially Rainbow Dash's part. The song has a twenty person choir, too.

*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydn4kgh-IHI Make way for the Third Wave of Ska!]] All hail the Pony Prophets of Ska!
** Honestly, for this show, we could say EVERY.SINGLE.MELODY!!! But that would take a while. Still all the music in this show is one hundered percent crowning music of awesome. They sound like something for a big budget musical. Heck, even the background music for the show sounds like music made for big budget feature films, let alone a MyLittlePony Series [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1apjjEtiNI]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cy9gNE_vIE]] This show's music can sound epic, funny, goofy, heartwarming, scary, give you chills, and is always AMAZING! Daniel Igram, and William Anderson constantly go above and beyond with this show.
** And now Hasbro is apparently getting in on the act with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZhUi1jpRis "Equestria Girls"]]. Words cannot describe the awesome.

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' has some pretty catchy songs but "What Was Missing" really stands out for "I'm Just Your Problem" and "My Best Friends In The World", two truly epic songs that showcase the power of music.

* ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has got a number of catchy and great musical numbers, starting with its [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXGQGsv8eBQ Theme Tune]].

** The ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uYt3hEmAtE Cutie Mark Crusaders]]'' Song.

* The theme to the ''SuperFriends''. Say what you want about the cartoon, but the theme song was ''epic''.

* The original opening theme for the ''Series/{{X-Men}}'' animated series in the '90s deserves a mention as well.

* The [[TheEighties "totally 80's"]] vibe of RegularShow has an awesome 80's soundtrack to match. Special recognition should most definately be given to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkSwHy9eG9U the use of Loverboy's "Working for the Weekend" during the montage scene from the episode "Caffinated Concert Tickets".]] Just seeing the montage makes this tropette's heart race.
