10 Best Cartoon Theme Songs
8. Pinky And The Brain
This excellent intro exists in three forms. The first came from the series Animaniacs and was sung by Yakko, Wakko and dot, then in the second version, it was taken over by a male and female chorus. Finally, when the characters got their own spin-off show, we were granted the best version with an all-male chorus.
The song masterfully uses the lyrics as an introduction to the characters. You could step into this show at any point and gather all you need to know about our protagonists only from this song.
Additionally, the theme itself perfectly captures the spirit of this show. It sounds incredibly grand and choral - thanks to the male baritone singers - but is discussing two mice that want to take over the world. The contrast between this silly concept and the song's grandeur completely reveals the kind of project you're going into with this series.
It is one of the catchiest songs a cartoon has ever had and uses a repetitive melody to get stuck in your head for days.
