[[folder:Instrumental Themes]]
Not all that common, but there are instrumental themes in which the title of the television show or film is a perfect fit metrically and could, if one wished, be sung along to the instrumental theme. The metric fit often occurs in the opening bars of the instrumental theme.
----
* ''Series/{{Bonanza}}''
** Dun-da-dah-dun/ Dun-da-dah-dun/ Bo-nan-zaaaah! . .
* ''Series/HawaiiFive0''

** Hill Street Blues/ Hill Street Blues/ Da-da-da-da-da-dah/ Hill Street Blues . . . .
* ''Frachise/MissionImpossible'' Not exactly the same as the other examples, but the opening beats of the Mission Impossible theme song correspond to the Morse Code letters M and I if you give if a dot the value of one beat and a dash the value of one-and-a-half beats
* ''Series/MyThreeSons''
** It's My Three Sons/ It's My Three Sons/ It's My Three Sons/ It's My Three Sons/ . . . repeated until madness sets in.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'' theme as sung by Creator/BillMurray in a Series/SaturdayNightLive skit about a third-rate ski-resort lounge singer:
** Star Wars!/ Give me those Star Wars!/ Nothing but Star Wars/ Don't let them end. . . .

[[folder:Western Animation]]
Note that almost every western animated series does this. However, if you are looking for specific examples, read on...
* Let's sing a little song with eight little words 'Bout a rocket ship and flightless birds - [[ThemeTuneRollCall Zidgel! Midgel! Fidgel! Kevin!]] ''WesternAnimation/ThreeTwoOnePenguins''
* "All ''WesternAnimation/FortyFourCats'', in rows of six, two at the rear..."
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqUUS2IDtTo 64, 64,]] ''WesternAnimation/SixtyFourZooLane''..."
* I'm ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'', life is sweet, when you're growing up so fast! Gotta make the good times last!
* "Heigh Ho, say hello now! It's time for ''WesternAnimation/The7D''! (Heigh ho!)"
* So many pups to meet at ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatianStreet''!
* ''WesternAnimation/AbbyHatcher'', Fuzzly Catcher! Abby Hatcher, Fuzzly Catcher!"
* "''WesternAnimation/AdaTwistScientist''! She's gonna find out what the answer is!"
* "At ''WesternAnimation/AlicesWonderlandBakery'', I'll make something for you!"
* ''[[WesternAnimation/AllenGregory Allen... Gregory]]!'' (ALLEN, ALLEN...)
* "Woo-ooh! Woo-oh! Yeah, tell me who's da king! Woo-ooh! Woo-oh! ''WesternAnimation/AllHailKingJulien''!"
* "''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'' I really wanna shout it out! All Grown Up, I want the world to know! All Grown Up, I really wanna shout it out! All Grown Up with you!"
* Iye, iye, iye, iye, yiky-yiky iye iye! ''WesternAnimation/AlmostNakedAnimals''!
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'': "People were not braggin'... He's the American Dragon"
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'': "A-A-An-gry beavers!"
* "[[Series/SaturdayNightLive The Ambiguously Gay Duo! The Ambiguously Gay Duo! They are taking on evil, come what may, They are fighting all crime to save the day. They're extremely close in an ambiguous way. They're ambiguously gay. They're ambiguously gay. The Ambiguously Gay Duo!]]"
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' has a {{lampshade|Hanging}}d example.
** As segments of the AnimatedAnthology, Pinky and the Brain got their own title theme, as did Slappy Squirrel, Rita and Runt, the Goodfeathers, the Hip Hippos, Katie Ka-Boom, and Chicken Boo. The ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' theme was [[ThemeTuneExtended revised for the spinoff]].
** This is also done in the [[WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020 reboot]].
* ''WesternAnimation/AnimalMechanicals''… we Animal Mechanical can!
* "Everything's ''WesternAnimation/{{Archie|Comics}}''!"
** "What's that sound? ''WesternAnimation/ArchiesWeirdMysteries''!"
* Subverted with ''WesternAnimation/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'', which had the refrain of "We're [[Franchise/AlvinAndTheChipmunks the Chipmunks]]" and mentioned Alvin in the ThemeTuneRollCall, but did not use the show's full title verbatim. Became a more straight example in season 6 when the title changed to just ''The Chipmunks''.
** It goes back even further on the original 1961 series ("''This is 'WesternAnimation/TheAlvinShow, the Alvin Show...you're positively gonna love the Alvin Show...''").
* When you're up in outer space and searching for the greatest place where everyone's a friendly face, ''WesternAnimation/{{Astroblast}}''!

* "''WesternAnimation/{{Bali}}'', arms up in the air / ''Bali'', spinning round and round / ''Bali'', always likes to dance and jumps to the sky..."
* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Battletoads}}'' cartoon pilot.
* The same can surprisingly be said for ''WesternAnimation/Ben10''.
* "When things go wrong, as things might do, ''Literature/TheBerenstainBears'' will find a way through! Mama, Papa, Sister and Brother, they're always be there for each other!"
* "''WesternAnimation/BerryBees'', Berry Bees, honeycomb what may..."
* "That's why you're still our star! Because you're ''WesternAnimation/{{Bonkers}}'', ''Bonkers'', ''Bonkers'', ''Bonkers''! Wherever you. Wherever you. Wherever you. Wherever you are!"
* "''WesternAnimation/BlazeAndTheMonsterMachines''! (Go, go!) (Blaze!)"
* "Come on in, what did you say? (A clue, a clue!) You see a clue? (I see a clue!) Another ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'' day! Hooray!"
** "Step-by-step, yes, clue-by-clue, let's think it through, it's... it's ''WesternAnimation/BluesCluesAndYou''"
* ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder! Can he fix it? Boooob the builder, yes he can!''

* The theme song for ''WesternAnimation/BubbleGuppies'' is literally the title being repeated over and over.
* The theme song to the ''WesternAnimation/{{Bubsy}}'' animated pilot episode featured the title character's name sung throughout it. However, it's not as repetitive as some of the other examples given. Also, the character's catchphrase "What could possibly go wrong?" is spoken toward the beginning of the theme.
* "BUCKY! Captain [[Comicbook/BuckyOHareAndTheToadWars Bucky O' Hare]]! He goes where no ordinary rabbit would dare!"
* "B-U-N, S-E-N! ''WesternAnimation/BunsenIsABeast''!"
* Butterbean's, Butterbean's, ''WesternAnimation/ButterbeansCafe''!
* Mom! Dad! Bingo! [[WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}} Bluey]]!
* "''WesternAnimation/{{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!"
* ''WesternAnimation/CampLakebottom'', where the zombies drool!
* ''"WesternAnimation/CareBearsAndCousins, collecting hearts by the dozens..."''
* "Helping others care and share, it's magic... [[WesternAnimation/CareBearsUnlockTheMagic Care Bears! Unlock the magic.]]"
* ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'', [=CatDog=], alone in the world was a little [=CatDog=].
* "La la la la la la la, ''WesternAnimation/{{Catscratch}}''!"
* "Wherever you're going, wherever you're at, ''[[WesternAnimation/TheCatInTheHatKnowsALotAboutThat The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About]]'' (he knows a lot about, he knows a lot about, he knows a lot about...) ''[[WesternAnimation/TheCatInTheHatKnowsALotAboutThat That!'']]"
* "[[WesternAnimation/ChalkZone CHALK! CHALK! CHALK! CHALK! CHALK! CHALK! CHALKZONE!]]"
* ''[[WesternAnimation/ChicoBonBonMonkeyWithAToolBelt Chico, Chico, Chico Bon Bon / Monkey, monkey, a monkey with a tool belt...]]''
* ''[[WesternAnimation/TheChickenSquad Chicken Squad!]]'' Baw ba bawk! Bravest chickens in the land!

* ''WesternAnimation/ClassOf3000'', SING!
* "And so I found a place, where everyone will know, my happy mustached face, this is ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow!''''
* "Clifford's so much fun, he's a friend to us all! I love ''Literature/CliffordTheBigRedDog''! (''woof!'')"
** The theme to the 2019 series does this too. "Singing hey! It's a big red day! Nothing in our way, so come and play with ''Clifford the Big Red Dog''..."
* "''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko, tout reprogrammer, Code Lyoko, un monde sans danger...''" And that's just the original French version. There are other versions for English, Spanish, Welsh, Portugese, Hebrew, Chinese, and a few more after them!
* "[[WesternAnimation/ComboNinos Combo, Combo Niños; Combo Vamos; Combo, Combo Niños; Vamos!]]"
* ''WesternAnimation/CornAndPeg''! Doing good feels good! Corn & Peg, we're besties all the way...
* "If you're looking for some fun, you can always count upon, the wild and wacky one they call... DUCKULA!" "Heh, heh. ''WesternAnimation/CountDuckula''! Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh!"
* "He's ''WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek'', he's gonna save the day!"
* "Painting, building, drawing, sculpting and fabric, too! Ideas are everywhere in the ''WesternAnimation/CreativeGalaxy'', Creative Galaxy..."
* "So listen as Phil takes us back to wonders of long ago / And weaves a tale of Woolyville and ice-age boy named Cro-o-o-o, Cro-o-o-o... ''WesternAnimation/{{Cro}}!''"
* "Pack your bags and let's go! Welcome to ''WesternAnimation/TheCupheadShow''!"

* "It doesn't matter what we do or say, cause those teachers always get their way. When we try to sit and pay attention, we always lose control and wind up in ''{{WesternAnimation/Detention}}''!"
* "WesternAnimation/{{Dinosauce|rs}}eerrrrs!"
* ''WesternAnimation/DinosaurTrain'', Dinosaur Train! We're gonna riiiiide.... (Ride, ride, ride, ride...) the Dinosaur Train!
* At the Dino Dino at the ''WesternAnimation/DinoRanch''!
* "I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, in the ''WesternAnimation/DinoSquad''!"
* "[[WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry Donkey Kong! Hey-o, look out down below Here he comes, banana slamma!]]"
* ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'', which is known for repetition, features the character's name well over a dozen times. That doesn't stop it, though, from possibly being the best aspect of the show. This is one of the ones that incorporates a catchphrase: "SwiperNoSwiping!"
** "''Vienen'', Diego! (Diego!) Diego! ''WesternAnimation/GoDiegoGo''"
** "D-O-R-A! ''WesternAnimation/DoraAndFriendsIntoTheCity''"
* ''WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins'', Doc Mcstuffins, come let the visit begin, the Doc is in!

* Also, ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'', ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'', and every other show on WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon, with the exception of ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''.
* While ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' is also an example, the actual song is called "Spin it!".
* ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'' is also an exception, using the opening song "Arabian Nights" from the movie.
* "WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim, we think he's mighty fine! Earthworm Jim; a hero for all time!"
* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' has the titular trio shouting out the title at the beginning and end as the theme whistle plays in the middle of the intro.
* "Elena, ''WesternAnimation/ElenaOfAvalor''!"
* ''WesternAnimation/ElinorWondersWhy'' has the title performed several times throughout. Notably, though it's a DoItYourselfThemeTune, the title is the only portion that ''isn't'' performed by Elinor herself.
* Who's the greatest team of all, watching little monsters when you call? Who's that knocking at your door? (Knock! Knock!) ''WesternAnimation/EsmeAndRoy''!
* "They are his odd parents! [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents Fairly Oddparents!]]"

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'': Flintstones, three times. Yabba dabba doo, one-and-a-half. Plus an [[HaveAGayOldTime infamous phrase]] and another one that everyone has trouble remembering.
* "Here come Fleeker, Boomer, Flo. Adventures everywhere they go. So check your room for cosmic friends, tiny happy aliens. They're ''Floogals'', 3, 2, 1, let's go!"
* "Hey, it's Franklin, coming to your house. Hey, it's Franklin, coming to my house. Hey, it's Literature/{{Franklin}}!"
* "[[WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}} Super teen extraordinaire. Freakazoid! Freakazoid! Runs around in underwear. Freakazoid! Freakazoid!]]"
* "Come on in, come to the place where fun never ends! (You bet!) Come on in, it's time to party with ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends''!"
* In Paris, France, if you should stray / Down by the place du marche / You'll meet two friends named ''Literature/GaspardAndLisa''... (Hello! Bonjour!)
* "George, George, WesternAnimation/GeorgeOfTheJungle! / Friend to you and me! (AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!) / WatchOutForThatTree" This is true for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fB0tv31-ys original cartoon]], both movies (see above), and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqnfF9x7mAk 2008 revival's]] ThemeTuneRap.
* "Well the boy's kind of small, ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeShrinks'', but he doesn't show it all, George Shrinks, cause he's always acting tall, George Shrinks. George Shrinks, George Shrinks, he's called!"
* "It's the ghost, it's ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee''!"

* "Report to the ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' (Goof Troop), and we'll always stick together. We're the Goof Troop (Goof Troop), best of friends forever!"
* [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', but played straight for one of the original, unused themes for the show. "Gravity Falls is not what you'd call a sleepy town..."
* "We are ''WesternAnimation/GrojBand''! Woo-oo-ooh!"
* "Dancing through springtime flowers and rays of summer sun / Catching white snowflakes on your nose / Running through autumn leaves from trees that float on high with our love that is bigger than the sky. ''Literature/GuessHowMuchILoveYou''..."
* "When she treasures her moods, she finds her power / To discover in the day! / [[WebAnimation/HanazukiFullOfTreasures Hanazuki....]]"
* ''WesternAnimation/HandyManny'': The theme song repeats "Handy Manny" but they are able to fit in Manny greeting his friends and the tools exclaiming.
* "It's ''WesternAnimation/HarryAndHisBucketFullOfDinosaurs''! To get on board the magic ride, all we do is jump inside, with Harry and his bucket... his bucket of full dinosaurs! (Jump Harry!)"
* ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'': "He-Man! He-Man!"
* "Hey, hey, hey / Have a ''WesternAnimation/HenryHugglemonster'' day!"
* If you're a kid with powers, then where's the place to be? You belong at ''WesternAnimation/HeroElementary''!
* "Here in Higglytown / Things all jump around / Just like the ''WesternAnimation/HigglytownHeroes'' (Our heroes) / They all work together / Making fun together / Come see the Higglytown Heroes..."
* If you listen closely in the theme for ''WesternAnimation/{{Hilda}}'', you hear the vocalist, Grimes, echoing Hilda's name.
--> '''Grimes''': (As the titular blue-haired girl jumps in the sky) Hilda...
** As part of Season 2, slated to stream on ''Creator/{{Netflix}}'' this December, Bella Ramsey, the voice of Hilda, wrote and performed a song called "The Life of Hilda" which is a fun combination of a DoItYourselfThemeTune and a IAmSong which talks about Hilda's everyday life. While the song is released on Youtube on November 25th, the song will also be featured during the credits of a Season 2 episode. Bonus points for it being sung in her character's voice!
--> '''Bella Ramsey (In Hilda's Voice)''': My name is Hilda and I don't learn from my mistakes / But I will do my best no matter what it takes... This is is the life / The life of Hilda.
* [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in ''WesternAnimation/{{Histeria}}'' because there are many theme songs that are randomly rotated in each episode.
* "We're busy buzzy with Buzzbee... It's great to be alive! / When you buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz with Buzzbee in ''WesternAnimation/TheHive''!"
* "WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi show! Anything is possible!"
* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'''s theme has Helga repeatedly yelling at Arnold, not getting his attention until the end, and mostly just saying "Hey Arnold!"
* "Let's go to ''WesternAnimation/{{Horseland}}''!"
* "Who's that rockin' at the ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse''? We're all rockin' at the House of Mouse."
* ''WesternAnimation/HongKongPhooey'', number one super guy.
* [[WesternAnimation/HuntikSecretsAndSeekers Huntik!]] Keep the faith and you'll surviiiiive...
* ''Hurray for Huckle'', a mystery-solving series featuring Creator/RichardScarry's [=BusyTown=] characters features the series names a couple of times in the theme tune. For the U.S. broadcasts, the series was retitled as ''[=BusyTown=] Mysteries'' -- it still sort of works, as the lyrics include "We're gonna solve a [=BusyTown=] mystery," but not quite.
* ''Literature/IfYouGiveAMouseACookie, then he'll ask for a glass of milk... And then one thing will lead to another, and you never know what's next!''
* The ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' theme song has for sole lyrics "Inspector Gadget" and "Go, Gadget Go!" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ6wZaNon4U The French version]], on the other hand, has a full song, though it still falls in this trope.
* "''WesternAnimation/ItsPony'', Pony, Pony Pony, Pony, Pony It's Pony!"
* "5, 6, 7, 8, exploring Earth is really great! [[WesternAnimation/JackTheExplorer Jack]] is back!"
* "''WesternAnimation/JakeAndTheNeverLandPirates'', come along, we need some volunteers!" (Or for the fourth season, "''Captain Jake and the Never Land Pirates''...")
* "[[WesternAnimation/{{Jem}} Jem, Truly Outrageous]]."
** Actually, every Sunbow/Marvel series based on a Hasbro toyline used the same theme song heard in the toy commercials. In the case of Jem though, that was just for the first two seasons (i.e., the "Super Sunday" episodes, plus the first season of the regular series). Afterwords, a different theme song was used ("Me and my friends are Jem girls...").
* "This is the theme song for, ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutron''."
** "It all makes perfect sense on... ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen''!"
* ''Everything is fun for a boy and a cat. / Come and join the fun with'' WesternAnimation/JoeAndJack''!''

* "It's ''WesternAnimation/KatieAndOrbie'', and here's a bunch of stories, 'bout Katie and Orbie and all the things they do."
* The theme song to WesternAnimation/KiddVideo plays with this. While it doesn't use the exact title, it prominently features the line "From my 'video', to my radio".
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''; contains two of the series' catchphrases in addition to the title -- this one barely counts in that it's a full-fledged song with, like, lyrics and everything that do more than vaguely describe the recurring plot.
* "They call him ''WesternAnimation/{{Kipper}}'', Kipper the dog. The dog with the slipper, that's Kipper, Kipper the dog..."
* But even though that Kitty is living in a house full of cats... ''WesternAnimation/KittyIsNotACat''! (Meow!)
* "Hey, hey, hey, hey, help is on its way. Call ''WesternAnimation/TheKoalaBrothers'', call the Koala Brothers, call the Koala Brothers, call the Koala Brothers, help is on its way!"
* ♫ "[[WesternAnimation/KryptoTheSuperdog He's Krypto the Superdog. He has super powers. He's a superdog. And his name is Krypto!]]" ♫
* "[[WesternAnimation/KungFuPandaLegendsOfAwesomeness Kung Fu Panda! Legends of Awesomeness. Sweet]]"
* "WesternAnimation/KuuKuuHarajuku! [=HJ5!=] [=HJ5!=] [=HJ5=] will come alive!"
* ''WesternAnimation/LennyAndSid'' repeats the name several times, and not unlike ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', it has the two characters interacting with each other while their names appear on-screen in several fonts.
* All around the wor-or-orld, ''WesternAnimation/LetsGoLuna'' Let's go!
* "''WesternAnimation/LillyTheWitch''! She's casting spells and weaving magic! Lilly the Witch, travelling back in time..."
** In the UK the show's title was changed to just "Lilly", and the song was redubbed as a result. "A girl called Lilly! She's casting spells and weaving magic, just a girl called Lilly... / Moving through time, that's Lilly!"
* "WesternAnimation/TheLingoShow! The Lingo Show! You'll learn new words you want to know!"
* The theme song to ''WesternAnimation/LittleBill'' has various characters saying the title as the protagonist gets ready for his day.
* ''"We're going on a trip in our favorite rocket ship, zoomin' through the sky, WesternAnimation/LittleEinsteins! Climb aboard, get ready to explore, there's so much to find, WesternAnimation/LittleEinsteins!"''
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLittles'': In the first season, the theme began with "We are the Littles" and ended with "You can't stop the Littles 'cause The Littles don't stop". In season 2, the first line evolved into a Title Drop for TheMovie: "Here come the Littles!". In season 3, the last line changed to "Here come the Littles, so you better watch out!".
* The theme song to ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop1995'' is mostly instrumental, but there's a TitleScream at the end.
** "We can be! Who we wanna be! At the ''[[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012 Littlest Pet Shop]]'', you and me!
** "[[FunWithAcronyms AWOOOO]]! It's ''[[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShopAWorldOfOurOwn A... World of Our Own!]]'' / Show you where to go, where to go to find friends.... / Looka-look around, at the ''Toys/LittlestPetShop''..."

* ''ComicStrip/LittleLulu, Little Lulu, with freckles on your chin. Always in and out of trouble, but mostly always in.''
* "''WesternAnimation/MackAndMoxy'', the Great Helpee heroes..."
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Madeline}}'' [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this:

* "Hey I'm ''WesternAnimation/MarvinTheTapDancingHorse''!"
* Now she speaks! "How now, brown cow?" [[WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks Martha Speaks!]] Yeah she speaks, and speaks, and speaks, and speaks! "What's a caboose? When are we eating again?"
* ''WesternAnimation/MaxAndRuby'', Ruby and Max!
* "It's ''WesternAnimation/MayaAndMiguel'', brother and sister and best friends as well."
* The Ruby-Spears ''WesternAnimation/MegaMan'' cartoon gave us the immortal description "Super fighting robot... Mega Man!" ''Over and over and over again.''
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' has a variation, where its the band's name used in the theme instead, and then the band members are introduced one by one. ''"Doodily Ding Dong Tick Tock! Dethklok! Dethklok!"''
* "It's the ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseClubhouse''! / Come inside, it's fun inside..."

* "WesternAnimation/{{Miraculous|Ladybug}}! Simply the best! Up to the test when things go wrong! Miraculous! The luckiest! ThePowerOfLove, always so strong! ''Miraculoooooous!!!''" Technically, the show's full title is ''Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir'', but most fans just call it ''Miraculous'' for short.
* "Cause' when you're living in a place, that has every single race, you simply have to face... it's ''Mixed Nutz'', ''Mixed Nutz''! ''WesternAnimation/MixedNutz''! (I just wanted to fit in.)"

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOctonauts'' - Although this is instrumental, it ends with this chant: "Explore! Rescue! Protect! OCTONAUTS!"

* "Call in ''WesternAnimation/TheReplacements''."
* "''WesternAnimation/RidleyJones'', daring and bold and courageous! Ridley Jones guards the museum with pride!"

* "[[WesternAnimation/TheRocketeer Rocketeer]] to the rescue!"
* "We are riders, on a mission, action kids in fun condition, ''WesternAnimation/RocketPower''!"

* "So let's be magic! Let's be like ''WesternAnimation/SadieSparks''!"
* The theme tune for ''WesternAnimation/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice'' is basically the words "Sam and Max, Freelance Police" ad nauseum.
* Gotta go back, back to the past, ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack''. WA-CHOUT!
* "''WesternAnimation/SanjayAndCraig'', the stuff they get to is insane! Sanjay & Craig, they're in the Best friends Hall of Fame, Sanjay & Craig, there is no Best Friends Hall of Fame (they made it up!)"
* "''WesternAnimation/SantiagoOfTheSeas'', helping anyone in need!"
* "On the land, in the air, under the sea / We're the Save-Ums! Meet ''WesternAnimation/TheSaveUms''!"
* Name one Franchise/ScoobyDoo series in which the title character's name '''isn't''' heard.
** "[[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you?]] We've got some work to do now...." (The actual title is ''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!'' without the "Dooby", and Shaggy yells this title just before the theme song begins in the original instrumental version.)
** "So come on, it's mystery time! You can solve help us the crime,\\
With Scooby, a pup named Scooby; Scooby, [[WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo a pup named Scooby-Doo]]!"
** "[[WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo What's new, Scooby-Doo?]] We're coming after you. You're gonna solve that mystery.\\
I see you, Scooby-Doo. The trail leads back to you. What's new, Scooby-Doo?"
** "Two friends on the run / Making trouble, having fun / WesternAnimation/ShaggyAndScoobyDooGetAClue"
** ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' and ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'' are [[AvertedTrope aversions]], because their themes have no lyrics.
* "''What an agent, what a squirrel. He's got the country in a whirl. What's his name? Shhh! WesternAnimation/SecretSquirrel!''"
* "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ''WesternAnimation/SevenLittleMonsters'' (Hey!)"
* "Now's the time to join in the fun, ''WesternAnimation/{{Shelldon}}''!"
* ''[[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower She-Ra, She-Ra!]]''
* We're singin' yipee yi-o ki-yay, yeehaw! ''WesternAnimation/SheriffCalliesWildWest''!
* ''WesternAnimation/SherlockHolmesInTheTwentySecondCentury'', whose ThemeTune consisted of no lyrics ''other'' than the title of the show.

* "I've got a lot of questions and big ideas, I'm ''WesternAnimation/SidTheScienceKid''."
* "I'm a ''WesternAnimation/{{Sidekick}}'', Sidekick! That's the life for me / Half-sized super zeros / With full-sized hero dreams!"
* ♫[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Theee Siiiiimpsoooooons]]...
** In-universe example: "Fight fight fight, bite bite bite... ''JustForFun/TheItchyAndScratchyShow''!"
** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E24TheSimpsonsSpinOffShowcase The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase]]" used these for ''The Love-matic Grampa'' and ''The Simpsons Family Smile-Time Variety Hour''.
* "It's crazy when you're loony, baby! It's ''WesternAnimation/{{Skatoony}}''!"
* "''WesternAnimation/SmallPotatoes'' on the moon! Small Potatoes in the sea..."
* "It's gonna be my time, to show them all that I'm ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst''!"
* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** "Fastest Thing Alive", the theme song of ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'':
--->"Blue streak / speeds by / Sonic the Hedgehog / Too fast / For the naked eye / Sonic the Hedgehog / Sonic / He can really move / Sonic / He's got an attitude / Sonic / He's the fastest thing alive!"
** ''WesternAnimation/SonicUnderground'''s theme:
--->"''Sonic Underground''! (Sonic) / ''Sonic Underground''! (Sonic) / They made a vow, their mother will be found!"
* "Come on down to ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' and meet some friends of mine."
* "Meet WesternAnimation/SpecialAgentOso, the unique, stuffed, bear."
* "[[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan Spectacular, spectacular Spider-Man!]]" It even goes so far as to spell out ''SPECTACULAR'' in the animated opening credits in time with the singer singing that lyric.
** To be accurate, Creator/StanLee does this in basically every show that uses his characters -- and certainly every ''Spider-Man'' show -- with the exception of the '90s ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' show (but see below). The '90s Spidey show was my favorite, with the techno "Spi-der-man... Spi-der-man... Ra-dio-Active Spi-der-man..." in the background of the music.
*** And don't forget the '60s version with "Look out! Here comes the Spider-Man!"
*** "Woah! / It's time to Spidey swing / [[WesternAnimation/SpideyAndHisAmazingFriends With Spidey and his amazing, Spidey and his friends!]]"
* "Dive in! ''WesternAnimation/SplashAndBubbles''! (Dive in!) We're making friends in the ocean..."
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Spliced}}''! They have all been ''WesternAnimation/{{Spliced}}''. Half baked and diced, and regurgitated!
* "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants! Absorbent and yellow and porous is he! WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants!"
* Averted in the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse, except for ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock''.
* "That's right, it's my man ''WesternAnimation/{{Stanley}}''! (Oh yeah, it's my man Stanley!) Welcome to Stanley's world..."
* "Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl... [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse and Steven!]]"
** "WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture, here we are!" ("[[TitleScream Steven Universe Future]]!")
* Both the 2003 and 2009 ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' series make liberal use of the main character's name.
** Actually, the first of the 1980s TV specials also did this, although the actual special was called "The World of Strawberry Shortcake", so it's not a straight example.
* Who can save us from those alien raiders that just passed Gemini? Why Starfleet! Starfleet!
* "We are the WesternAnimation/StuntDawgs, watch our show! We are the WesternAnimation/StuntDawgs! Go, go, go!"
* "Oh, it's a ''WesternAnimation/SunnyDay'' / She'll put a smile on your face..."
* ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo!''
* "[[WesternAnimation/SushiPack Sushi, sushi, sushi, sushi, Sushi Pack!]]"
* "''WesternAnimation/SuperWhy'', Super Why! And the Super Readers, we're gonna fly!"
* "[[WesternAnimation/SuperMarioWorld Super Mario, Super Mario, Super Mario World!]]"
* "Whenever there's a crime or trouble, that no one can solve at all it seems. That's when we call them on the double ''WesternAnimation/SylvesterAndTweetyMysteries''.
* "Chang-de-chang-de-chang, ''WesternAnimation/TakAndThePowerOfJuju''!"
* "Come to WesternAnimation/TazMania! We mean you!"
* "When there's trouble, you know who to call -- ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans!''"
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' has a theme song which is literally just the title being spelled out, and then repeated.
* ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'', in all of its incarnations.
** [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 The 1987 version]] manages to fit the entire phrase in ''12 times'' in the course of a minute.
* "''This One and That One'', curious as can be / This One and That One, playing nearby the sea..."
* Then of course, there's ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats''. "Thunder-thunder-thunder-Thundercats."
** "He's a brand new lord / With a magic sword / It's THUNDER, THUNDER, THUNDER, THUNDER, [[WesternAnimation/ThunderCatsRoar THUNDERCATS ROAAAAAAAR]]!"
* "There's a new adventure, in everything we do! We'll all be together and you can come too, when ''WesternAnimation/TimothyGoesToSchool''! Anything can happen when Timothy goes to school!"
* "The scripts were rejected, expect the unexpected, on ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', it's about to start!"
* "It's the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryKids''!"
* "''I'm WesternAnimation/TomTerrific, greatest hero ever...terrific is the name for me 'cause I'm so clever...''"
* "We're the rescue birds of ''WesternAnimation/TopWing''! (Top Wing!) It's time to earn our wings! (Top Wing!) It's time to earn our wings!"
* Toopy, that's me! / And here's my friend Binoo! / We love to laugh, we love to play / That's us, ''WesternAnimation/ToopyAndBinoo''!
* "''WesternAnimation/TootAndPuddle'', ''Toot & Puddle''! Let's go!"
* "Whoa-oa-oa, Oh-oh-oh! Time to fly with ''WesternAnimation/{{TOTS}}''!"
* "She's True (True!), True (True!), she'll wish for me and you! (Hero, hero!) She's True,''WesternAnimation/TrueAndTheRainbowKingdom''!"
* [[WesternAnimation/TheTrapDoor "Don’t you open that Trap Door! You’re a fool if you dare! Stay away from that Trap Door! Cause there’s something down there..."]]
* In a unique example, the theme song to ''WesternAnimation/TucaAndBertie'' remixes Tuca and Bertie saying each other's names. And it's CATCHY.
* "He's a ''WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy'', T.U.F.F. Puppy, he's a T.U.F.F. Puppy!"
* "[[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 Transformers! More than meets the eye! Transformers! Robots in disguise! Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of... The Decepticons!]]" ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' was even worse -- the theme tune was just an instrumental piece over which somebody kept shouting "Beast Wars!"
** [[HulkSpeak Me Grimlock]] say Beast-Dino words good.
** For the record, in America all ''Transformers'' series have a variation of the original theme. But hey, it's catchy and we love it. It's a good way to get non-fans to leave the room so you can watch in peace.
* "''Turkey shout, let me figure it out, in... ''WesternAnimation/TumbleLeaf''! ... Rumble leaf, tumble leaf, come on, let's play. (In Tumble Leaf...)''"
* [[WesternAnimation/{{Underdog}} "When criminals in this world appear / and break the laws that they should fear / the cry goes up both far and near for Underdog!"]]
* "Whoa-oa-oa, ''WesternAnimation/{{Vampirina}}''!"
* ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales''.
** Ditto in the short-lived Netflix spin-off ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTalesInTheHouse'' (Later renamed ''Veggietales In the City'').
** If your missing any other of the people that you know, we’re going to start the show! It’s ''WesternAnimation/TheVeggieTalesShow''!!
* "Say it, say it / Here the music play it now / Say the word, say the word / Woo-oo-oo-oo! / Wally, Wally, ''WesternAnimation/WallyKazam''"
* ''WesternAnimation/WillAndDewitt'''s title theme tune is loaded down with {{Incredibly Lame Pun}}s based on the title characters' names. "You've got the skill, just find the Will & Dewitt!"
* "[[WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}} We are! We are! We are W.I.T.C.H.!]]"
* In the same fashion as ''W.I.T.C.H.'', ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' constantly repeats the lines "We are the Winx" and "Come join the club" in its 4Kids dub theme. In the original (Italian) version, it's mostly just the word "Winx" that's repeated and emphasized, especially in the season four theme song.
* "''WesternAnimation/WonderPets''! ''WesternAnimation/WonderPets''! We're on our way! To help a friend, and save the day!" Later installments dropped it and played beautiful instrumental compositions during the opening credits.
* Word up, it's ''WesternAnimation/WordGirl''! WORD UP! On the planet Lexicon, watch out, villains......HERE SHE COOOOOMMMESS!!!
* "WesternAnimation/WowWowWubbzy, Wubbzy, Wubbzy, wow wow!"
* The Aborted Pilot "WesternAnimation/PrydeOfTheXMen" plays this straight: ''"X-Men! (X-Men!) Saves the day! (saves the day!) X-Men! (X-Men!) Coming your way!"''
* [[Literature/WheresWally "Where, where, where, where's Wally ..."]]
** "Where do you go, where do you go? [[WesternAnimation/WheresWaldo2019 Where's Waldo?]]"
* The theme song for ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' has literally nothing but the title for its lyrics aside from wordless scatting. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools It's still ridiculously catchy, upbeat]], and will get stuck in your head.
* [[ExpositoryThemeSong Everything that's not exposition]] in the theme tune to ''WesternAnimation/WandaAndTheAlien'' is repeating the show's title.
* Fly by the Wayside, Wayside, ''WesternAnimation/{{Wayside}}''!
* "WesternAnimation/YogiBear is smarter than the average bear / Yogi Bear is always in the Ranger's hair..."
** And the first theme from when he was on Huck's show: "Who keeps cool when things are hot? Who does? ''Yogi Bear!''"
** YO! YO! YO! WesternAnimation/YoYogi!
* '''''WesternAnimation/WordParty!''' The party just begun! There's a word for what we're gonna have, and that word is fun!''
* "Welcome to the place, where words come alive. Let's build a word ''WesternAnimation/WordWorld''!"
* Gonna go wild Wild Kratts, gonna go wild wild Wild Kratts! (Call the Wild Kratts!) Wild wild ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts''!
* "Who's that kid who can travel through ti-ime? ''WesternAnimation/XavierRiddleAndTheSecretMuseum''!"
* [[{{Catchphrase}} YEAH, BOYYYY!]] It's time! For ''WesternAnimation/YoohooAndFriends''!
** "''WesternAnimation/YoohooToTheRescue'', [=YooHoo=] to the Rescue..."
* ''[[Creator/{{CBeebies}} Yoko! Jakamoko! Toto!]]'''s theme song is just the names Yoko, Jakamoko and Toto repeated over and over again.
* "Let me tell you 'bout my friends, they're my best friends, ''WesternAnimation/TheZhuZhus''..."
* "Say hey, say hi, say how do you do, to a fine young zebra by the name of Zou."

* "Oh, my my. This is ''Series/AllThat'', this is All That!"
* "Amanda-manda-manda-manda-mada, Amanda-manda-manda-mada Show.",
* Common in {{tokusatsu}} shows, at least up until the 1980s or 90s:
** ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' in every incarnation. Quite possibly the worst offender. The original theme song consisted entirely of the lines "Go go Power Rangers / Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers." The first season version had two lines of exposition in the beginning to explain the plot of the show, one of them was the TropeNamer for RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude, and a longer version of the song, with verses, often accompanied the Thunderzords into battle.
*** ''Series/PowerRangersLightSpeedRescue'' had two lines, followed by endless repetition of the title, made worse by the fact that the music repeated as well.
** "''Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight'', together we can fight the fight!" Ironically, its original Japanese analogue ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'' (like almost all Heisei era Franchise/KamenRider shows) averts this trope, giving each series a potential top-40 single as its theme song (''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' had a theme song by popular J-rock artist Gackt).
*** "Chou-henshin! Series/KamenRiderKuuga!" (with extra doses of just "Kuuga" preceding that) and "Ready to go, Count ZERO, Series/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 ''Series/KamenRiderFaiz'', ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' and ''Series/KamenRiderDouble'', the first theme for ''Series/KamenRiderBlade'' and the ending theme of ''Series/KamenRiderHibiki'' still drop (respectively) the words "Faiz" (in the form of the punny "Justifaiz"), "decade", "double" (sorta), "blade" and "hibiki", but ''not'' "Kamen Rider".
*** Going further back, the theme song of [[Series/KamenRider the very first series]] finished with "Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider, Rider, Rider!"
** [[Series/MaskedRider Saban's Masked Rider]] falls under this pretty well (literally, the only lyrics are "Masked Rider" repeated over and over), [[FanonDisContinuity but we don't really like to talk too much about it...]]
** "Hikari no Kuni kara Bokura no tame ni, kitta...zo warera no [[Series/{{Ultraman}} URU...TORAMAN]]!

* ''Series/TheAddamsFamily''
* ''Series/AllStarBlitz'', [[{{Scatting}} hobba hum, hobba heeba humba]]
* ''Series/AmericanBandstand''
** The theme song, "Bandstand Boogie", was not written for the series, and was an instrumental. It was played unaltered for most of the run of the series. The trope only applies after Music/BarryManilow wrote lyrics for it, and recorded his version especially for the program.
* [[Series/TheAquabatsSuperShow This is the Aquabats Super Show, it's a TV shooooo-wooaaaaaah-ohhhhhhhh-ohhhhhhh-owwwwwww! (The Aquabats! Super Show! The Aquabats! Super Show!)]]

* The most classical example: "[[Series/Batman1966 Batman! Nanananana Batman! Nananana Batman! Nananana Batman!]]"
** Notably, it managed to get an ''instrumental'' award; that's right: its vocals were deemed ''instruments''.
* ''Series/BeatShazam'' used for its first three seasons "Let's Groove" by Earth, Wind and Fire as its theme tune. Beginning in the fourth season, however, they have a short original tune, with a group of vocalists singing "Let's see if you can beat Shazam!"
* "''Series/BetweenTheLions'' between the covers of a book, it's time to look Between the Lions."
* ''Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy''. Mention it to any {{geek}} or {{nerd}} who was between 5 and 15 in the 90s, and rather than mention a specific episode or parody song, they start singing the Theme Song.
** "Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!"
** Ten years later and smarter, and I still can't tell you a thing about Inertia except that it is a property of matter.

* The last two seasons of the Tom Bergeron version of ''Series/TheHollywoodSquares'' turned Teena Marie's song "Square Biz" into one of these. ("Everybody get up.. it's the ''Hollywood Squares''!")
* "It feels like a party every day! Hey, ''Series/{{Jessie}}''! Hey, Jessie!"
* "She's a doll, she's a queen, she's a tantalizing teen, and ''Karen'' is her name..." Performed by [[Music/TheBeachBoys The Beach Boys]], no less.

* "'Cause we only have ''Series/OneLifeToLive''!"
* "''Series/{{Oobi}}'''s like me. Oobi's like you. Oobi has a lot of big things that he's gonna do."

* "She's a ''Series/SmallWonder'', lovely and bright and soft curls. She's a Small Wonder, [[RobotGirl a child unlike other girls...]]"

** "Eo, eo, eo! Eo, eo, eo! Eo, eo, eo! O Xou da Xuxa[[note]]"Xou da Xuxa" ("The Xuxa Show", with "X" pronounced like "SH") was the name of her show in Brazil at the time.[[/note]] começou!..."

-->"Jikan doori ni COME WITH ME / Waratte Iitomo / Uki uki watching..."
* "[[Series/ChicoAndTheMan Chico]], don't be discouraged. [[Series/ChicoAndTheMan The man]] came so hard to understand..."

* While not as common in anime these days (a few still do it), it was more or less a regular thing during the 1960's and 70s', just like it is in America now. In the 70s, some subversions, and even aversions started coming up. That is, while the song may be named after the show, it may not necessarily contain the entire title, or it may omit the title. For example, the song is called "Anime/CuteyHoney", but the closest it comes to containing the title is when it refers to the character "Honey" by name, and also when it incorporates her [[ByThePowerOfGrayskull transformation phrase]] ("Honey Flash!"). ''Anime/CaptainHarlock'' and ''Manga/GalaxyExpress999'' have theme songs named after their respective shows, but do not contain the actual titles of the shows in their lyrics. Instead, they merely describe what they are talking about.
