History Main / TitleThemeTune

* "She is the one named Manga/SailorMoon!"

* [[MightyOrbots "GO! Mighty Orbots!"]]

* ''{{Caillou}}'' -- which is sung by the character too. "Growing up is not so tough, 'cept when I've had enough -- I'm Caillou. Caillou! Caillou! I'm Caillou! That's me!"

* Frequent within the ''Film/JamesBond'' series. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGV7CvD8ufk Justified in that the title song is created specifically for the movie.]]

-->-- '''Music/WeirdAlYankovic''', ''SpyHard''

* "{{Shaft}}! Can you dig it?"

* ''{{Koyaanisqatsi}}'', where the theme consists of the movie's title, ominously chanted. It works well in ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', where it plays whenever the Janitor gives anyone the DeathGlare.

* As a pastiche of ''JamesBond'' movies' tendencies to have title theme tunes, as noted above, ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' has a subtitle theme tune "Snake Eater".

* In-universe example on ''ArrestedDevelopment'': the theme for ''Mock Trial with [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep J. Reinhold]]'' has William Hung repeating the title incessantly.

** The Italian version of the ''5D'''s theme has YU-GI-OH! in pretty much every line of the chorus, and at the beginning: "Yu-Gi-Ohhhh! Your still fighting for... Yu-Gi-Ohhhh! ... Fighting for your life! Yu-Gi-Ohhhh!" and so on.

* "''GreenAcres'' is the place to be"
* "Sunday, Monday, ''HappyDays''"

* Also parodied by ''TheTomGreenShow'': "This is the Tom Green Show/It's not the Green Tom Show/This is my favorite show/Because it is my show!"

* ''TheWeirdAlShow'' theme tune also appeared on his ''Running With Scissors'' [=CD=] (unfortunately, long after Creator/{{CBS}} canned it).

* ''TheFlintstones'': Flintstones, three times. Yabba dabba doo, one-and-a-half. Plus an [[HaveAGayOldTime infamous phrase]] and another one that [[{{Mondegreen}} everyone has trouble remembering]].

* "George, George, GeorgeOfTheJungle! / Friend to you and me! (AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!) / Watch out for that tree!"

* The dub of ''DinosaurKing'': ''Dinosaur King is what you want to be, yeah''. Ironic in that being the "dinosaur king" is actually what the villain wants to be -- the protagonists just want to prevent him from obtaining (and abusing) the dinosaurs.

* ''WhereInTheWorldIsCarmenSandiego?''

* ''[[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse [=He-Man=]! [=He-Man=]!]]''

** "{{Supercar}}! Suuupercaaaar!!! With beauty and grace, as swift as can be, watch it flying through the air! It travels in space or under the sea, and it can journey anywhere! Supercar! Suuupercaaaar!!!..."

** "''[[Series/{{Stingray 1964}} Stingraaaaaay]]'', [[Series/{{Stingray 1964}} Stingray]]! ''[[Series/{{Stingray 1964}} Stingraaaaaay]]'', [[Series/{{Stingray 1964}} Stingray]]!"

** ''[[CaptainScarlet Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons]]'': There were two versions, one with a full set of lyrics and another whose lyric was nearly only "Captain Scarlet" endlessly repeated[[note]]"''Indestructible'' Captain Scarlet was the final line[[/note]].

* [[TheTeletubbies Tinky Winky... Dipsy... Laa-laa... and Po. Teletubbies. "Teletubbies!" Say... hell-o! "Eh-oh!"]]

* Name one WesternAnimation/{{Scooby-Doo}} series in which the title character's name '''isn't''' heard.

* ''{{Koyaanisqatsi}}'', where the theme consists of the movie's title, ominously chanted. It works well in ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', where it plays whenever the Janitor gives anyone the EvilEye.

** The most notable aversion is ''{{Thunderbirds}}'', though narrowly: a closing theme with lyrics ''was'' composed for it, and it ''did'' repeat the title numerous times throughout.

* Then of course, there's ''WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats}}''. "Thunder-thunder-thunder-Thundercats."

** Actually, recall ''ANY'' 70s or 80s-era giant robot series! Yep. Name's there, too!

** "Saraba Chikyuu yo! Tabidatsu fune wa... Uchuu Senkan... YA-MA-TO!"

* The famous theme song for ''[[Anime/UchuuSenkanYamato Space Battleship Yamato]]'' drops the name of the series several times.

* [[Anime/LupinIII Lupin the Thi-ird! Lupin the Thi-ird! Lupin, Lupin, Lupin, Lupin...]]

* "Keep them doggies movin', ''{{Rawhide}}''"

* "We'll muddle through ''OneDayAtATime (One Day at a Time!)''"

* ''Film/RoboCop Alpha Commando'' is the worst example possible: the theme music is essentially just the word "[=RoboCop=]" repeated over and over for a whole minute.

** "''KamenRiderDragonKnight'', together we can fight the fight!" Ironically, its original Japanese analogue ''KamenRiderRyuki'' (like almost all Heisei era KamenRider shows) averts this trope, giving each series a potential top-40 single as its theme song (''KamenRiderDecade'' had a theme song by popular J-rock artist Gackt).
*** "Chou-henshin! KamenRiderKuuga!" (with extra doses of just "Kuuga" preceding that) and "Ready to go, Count ZERO, KamenRiderAgito" count. They are the only Heisei shows that follow the trope because they were produced before the record company switch.
*** That being said, the themes of ''KamenRiderFaiz'', ''KamenRiderDecade'' and ''KamenRiderDouble'', the first theme for ''KamenRiderBlade'' and the ending theme of ''KamenRiderHibiki'' still drop (respectively) the words "Faiz" (in the form of the punny "Justifaiz"), "decade", "double" (sorta), "blade" and "hibiki", but ''not'' "Kamen Rider".
