8. The Flintstones
"Flintstones! Meet the Flintstones! They're the modern stone age family. From the town of Bedrock, they're a page right out of history! Just ride with the family down the street through the courtesy of Fred's two feet. When you're with the Flintstones, have a Yabba Dabba Doo time, a Dabba Doo time, you'll have a gay old time!" "Yabba Dabba Dooooo!" It's quite possibly the most recognizable cartoon theme song of all time, and up there with one of the most recognizable theme songs of all time as well. Like many classic shows, the Flintstones theme song accomplished what a theme song by its very concept is supposed to do: set up the premise for what the audience is about to watch. From the lyrics, we know that
The Flintstones is about a family that lives in a town called Bedrock during the stone age. Oh, and the song is incredibly catchy, that's just a bonus. This song has been given homage in pop culture ever since, everywhere from classic films to
The Simpsons, seen below. But, a parody would be nothing without the original, so for your listening pleasure,
The Flintstones.
