Soaring through the highways of the heavens in their flight

The point is that they’re cyborgs with both robotic and human components, but “partly metal, partly real” implies that metal isn’t real like it’s a figment of our imagination or perhaps something theoretical. “Wings of silver, nerves of steel/Silverhawks There are more lyrics to this song, but they’re still quite stupid. I was an action figure junkie when I was a kid. Silverhawks was essentially the exact same cartoon as Thundercats, only in space and with bird features instead of cat features. It’s cool animation and a decent tune, mucked up a bit by the need to have silly words. So, they’re loose were they to be locked up at some point and we just never saw it? And has anyone ever said, “Oh shit, you guys the Thundercats are loose! We better high-tail it!” This is a song that doesn’t need any lyrics, despite the double-length of the opening. “Thundercats are on the move/Thundercats are looseįeel the magic, hear the roar/Thundercats are loose.” It doesn’t have many lyrics, but the ones it does have are weird. At any rate, that theme song, while catchy, is very much a product of its time. There’s a very strange phenomenon in shows like this where apparently the only people who exist in the realm in which it takes place are the heroes and the villains. Thundercats was a huge part of my very young childhood. (NOTE: This has nothing to do with the quality of the program this is strictly about the effectiveness of the theme song.) Below are some of my favorites from these latter categories, because they still make me laugh. During my formative cartoon-watching years, the ’80s and ’90s, themes of this nature existed in absurdly-high numbers, especially in the action genre. Either that, or a song that attempts to, in 45 seconds, tell you the entire premise and backstory for the show you’re about to watch. It doesn’t attempt to come up with some kind of ridiculous song that, while catchy, is stupid and makes no sense. And it still holds up one of the reasons it does is the theme song, because it has no words. My favorite of these shows was Batman: The Animated Series, which if you’ve read this site at all in the past year you’ll know to be the case. I was a boy in the ’80s and ’90s, after all, and wanted to watch animated things that would make me want to buy toys, thus fulfilling the cynical marketing dream of manufacturers everywhere. I’m a big fan, or at least was when I was a kid, of action cartoons.
