Bucky O'Hare
"Did you say Bucky?"
"I SAID Bucky!"
"Let's croak us some toads!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6Mh7hhaqhk
Bucky?
"And your photon accelerator's broken a bit"
Surely "broken to bits". If it was just broken a bit then that big ape thing could fix it, I reckon. He was handy.
Call for We're the Chipmunks. The chord change after the first line of the chorus, oh my.
Or Gummi Bears for singalong potential. And the elevator music coda in the extended version.
It does make
more sense admittedly, but i still prefer "broken a bit".
that verse is 90's perfection!
"If your righteous indignation has suffered a hit,
and your photon accelerator's broken a bit
and your losing your mind, and your having a fit,
get the funky fresh rabbit who can take care of it!"
Jamie and his magic torch

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDa4SoVO55A
Okay, it's not wonderful, but it's alright!
Never really watched the programme though...
Nothing, NOTHING can surpass the legendary Earthworm Jim theme tune
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqe9ijbjxfM
Alright then, maybe Johnny Bravo could beat it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE3d2GHBuvQ
^^This
Earthworm Jim wins.
I can't believe Hong Kong Phooey hasn't got a look in.
Surely this is where Buster Rhymes got his style from.

"Captain Planet, he's the hero, gonna take pollution down to zero" - topical, huh?

Jayce & The Wheeled Warriors
Probably not so well known on here, but awesome nonetheless :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-JOX3bTNaQ
ah good, I was going to mention
Wheeled Warriors. Loved that cartoon, although I don't think it ever had a proper ending did it?
Just watched the Pole Position song above, and it definitely isn't as good as I remembered it.
Dogtanian and Mysterious Cities Of Gold are probably my favourites.
Catdog?
There are so many cartoons with cats feasturing as the main characters. It's great.
Skunk Fu!
IT'S BY GHOSTFACE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQXHEi4U6A0
Perhaps not the best, but
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZugCyqt7_I
Has been firmly lodged in the back of my head for the past 12 years or so.
Also the Pepper Ann theme, which sounds oddly like it might have inspired a young Avril Lavigne...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE1aBK9GGhI
And the songs from Spider! were pretty much uniformly awesome.
