10 Best Cartoon Theme Songs
7. SpongeBob SquarePants
Like many other cartoon projects, this song uses its time to establish the show's main character and thus guarantee that the audience's interest is already peaked. Additionally, the silliness of the music fits perfectly into the world of Bikini Bottom as it's filled with energy and humour.
The theme taps into something really special - that being the show's relationship with the viewers. By adding call and response elements throughout the piece, kids everywhere can feel like they are actively participating in the title and thus can form a rapid attachment to it.
This song - composed by Steve Belfer - isn't the only musical highlight of the series as the cartoon explored the medium of music multiple times. The series feels like a musical experience at times - which is likely why it was adapted for Broadway. Still, no matter how many great songs frequent the underwater world, it never gets better than this classic theme.
