10 Best Cartoon Theme Songs

The theme song to this classic franchise has also been re-imagined plenty of times, but nothing beats the original. When it comes to thinking of a song that captures all of the best qualities of a cartoon theme, the turtles are the ones that do it best.

This song - written by Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre - packs in plenty of information about the turtles, detailing each one with their distinct quirks and establishing the villain too. It also works in crafting the world and setting so that viewers can jump in at any time and still know all they need to know about the show.

Additionally, the repetition of the series' phrases like "heroes in a half-shell" and "turtle power!" would go on to be a big part of the brand's identity. The repetition of the overly complicated title of the show also makes it instantly memorable despite being such a mouthful.
