So much nostalgia in that song

Does it have to be from a cartoon? Not like a sit-com or a drama in the early 2000s? Anyway, if its a cartoon then definitely the Jackie Chan show I saw as a kid. It was awesome in every way.

:O Didn't know they made a Jackie Chan cartoon!
it has also been aired here.. is it funny? :)
it can be from whatever you want :)
I've chosen cartoons because it's their themes that get changed most here.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh I get it, I honestly don't know if the show ever aired where you live but here I think it came out near 2000? Though I could be wrong, I don't remember when as I was a child.
If I were to choose a show that WASNT a cartoon I would definitely choose Smallville's theme cause the show was basically everything in the early 2000s and that was just amazing lol.

Bobobo-bo Bo-Bobo had a pretty great opening theme, although I never actually saw it when I was a kid. It's in Japanese, but they used it for the English dub as well. The Extended Version manages to be the only song with Japanese vocals that I actually like.
As for cartoons I actually did watch when I was a kid, I unfortunately don't remember many of the opening themes. :( Maybe this thread will bring back some memories.

I love the original Fist of the North Star intro, never heard the Italian version. It was really... different, but I enjoyed it :)
Don't have any favorites myself, but just from the top of my head I really like the outro in Zankyou no Terror

Ooh, I've got a lot. ^^
First few that come to mind now are Saint Seiya, Jem and the Holograms and Shin-chan.

Heh I loved crayon shin chan. Even though it's high up on the list of children's shows that shouldn't be. :P

so Anime counts?
Hidamari Sketch first ending, the show is quite calm, so it kind off fits
Mawaru penguidrum, and on the other hand, this suspense show had also a quite fitting ending.
Also this was my DBZ theme cant help to sing along either and many people too... aparentlly

I love the intro for Batman: The Animated Series but I think the X-men intro is probably the second most badass intro I haver ever seen for a cartoon show... First been Cowboy Bebop

Do you have any favourites?
I have many, most of them (obviously) from my childhood, and I've decided to share the best with you all. Tried to do a "Top 10" but ended up with a few more.
(Writing this post took much longer than expected as I listened to all of these, and many more) =P
Alphabeticalliy ordered, names are straight from wikipedia:
Il ritorno dei cavalieri dello zodiaco | Saint Seiya 2nd intro;
BONUS!
Why am I doing this?
Maybe you think that all of the themes are equals around the globe.. Well, I also used to think so.
BUT it doesn't work this way
There are rights management and such behind that complicate things. For example, listen to the themes of spanish Captain Tsubasa and italian Lupin III.
And so it happens that a country have a different theme and its populations may take for granted it's based on the original when maybe it's not (as here in Italy).
Perhaps you now "investigate" and discover that a theme you thought to be global is only known in your country and want to share it here with us.. Please, do it.
Also, I find older themes to be better.. The new ones are basically dance-like tunes made to appeal teenagers (and set childrens' mind in that "mentality"). I'm not saying all of them are bad.. I can't help but sing along everytime I hear italian Dragonball and Dragonball Z but I still prefer the old themes as I see them as real songs.
Except for original anime intros/outros, which I find very variegated. (There are minor channels who do buy anime rights and keep the original music, so I know some..) like Slam Dunk's, Sayiuki's and many from InuYasha, to name a few :)
I also like some songs from Disney movies but that's another story.. =P
All the songs linked above are the cut version for TV. You can find their full versions on youtube if you liked some.
