So I got Gemm thinking on this, and we've got a list for what would be awesome to have rock groups performing for a volume two. The shows I pared it down to are in the poll.
Remember, the song doesn't have to be the theme, just a song used in the show. Ones already done by a rock group aren't really up. Like, Rocko's ModernLife was awesome, but it was performed by the B-52's, so already hip.
Give me more ideas for options, and suggestions for band/song pair ups.

I still say "The Wild West C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa" would've been a good one. =P Or maybe Super Mario Brothers Super Show!
We're the Mario Brothers, and plumbing's our game
We're not like the others who get all the fame
If your sink is in trouble, you can call us on the double
We're faster than the others, you'll be hooked on the Brothers Unh!
H-hooked on the Brothers. Gimme gimme, gimme gimme.
Yo, you're in for a treat, so hang on to your seat
Get ready for adventure and remarkable feats
You'll meet Koopas, the Troopas, the Princess, and the others
Hangin' with the plumbers, you'll be hooked on the brothers to the brink!
Unh! Unh!
I say a h-h-h-h-hooked on the brothers!

I've got the Transformer movie soundtrack (original) and batman beyond.
Also found online the Pizza hut TMNT album and a MR. T album (should have downloaded that but didn't).
Little disappointed that Duck tails didn't get on over Dark Wing and Tailspin, I know SE prefers the other two but Duck Tails was more popular then the other two combined.
Transformers theme =Van Halen
Animaniacs = Bare Naked Ladies
Muppet show = Talking Heads
-
ha, those are some awesome band selections
I felt that DD translated to rock, not wimpy pop, better than Ducktails. The themesong, that is
-
You know what has made my fingers twitch towards the wallet? The School House Rock CD's. And I didn't see anything for the Bugs and Tweety Show (that's what it was called right?)
-
I know this is an ancient thread, but I kind of want to hear Yakko's World sung by somebody like She Wants Revenge.
-
I really think it would be cool if Panic At The Disco sang the "Hey Digimon" song from season one.
That was my favorite Saturday morning cartoon. That one and Pirates Of Dark Water.
-
Duck Tales, Awhoohoo!
I think Tool could do some really interesting covers of any of those themes, tbh. They're a pretty versatile band. :)
I would like to see Me First and the Gimme Gimmes do some as well.
-
I can't even believe that you guys haven't talked about the Turtles.
What is wrong with you?
By far the most amazing show/theme song ever.
I think I might go do something drastic due to loosing faith in this forum.

I'd like to see a punk version of the Turtles theme. The original theme song just kind of has that feel to it. Maybe Rancid or Pennywise. ;D
-
Rancid singing the Turtles.. I could get into that.
-
The theme from the Tick cartoon would be awesome.
-
Wow good call CthulhuKefka. That would be quite amazing. Rancid is a good choice. I think Pennywise is a good band but a little more pop-punky than Rancid. Both would probably do a good job though. One of my friends did a punk version of King of the Hill and it was awesome.
-
King of the Hill has a punk vibe to it, I can see that.
Side winding here for a second, I'd like to see the Family Guy theme done in a lounge singer fashion. Maybe someone like Richard Cheese could do it. ;D
Back to old cartoons, "The Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light" (obscure for the most part) I would love to see done with a Gothic rock band, maybe Nightwish.
-
King of the Hill theme is already written/performed by The Refreshments, which are what I kind of call "sub-punk." stuff that would be considered punk in the 1970s because it's like the Ramones or the Clash, but it's nothing like modern punk.
In short, it really doesn't need to be covered. It's already rock. And if you aren't familiar with The Refreshments, you really should be. "Down Together," "Blue Collar Hero," "Preacher's Daughter," "Birds Sing," and "Wanted" are great starts.
-
Sure some rock somgs sound good in another rock genre. I know what your saying but it doesnt hurt to hear any song in a differnt version. I liked what I heard.
-
oh, doesn't hurt. But I guess what I'm saying is that the point of my collection was to combine nostalgia with some good ol' rock.
-
I know this is not a cartoon, and it has been done by some bands before, but what about the Fraggle Rock theme song
-
Not a cartoon but a damn good show.
-
Weezer doing the Animaniacs theme. That'd totally wrok.
One I'd like to see would be a cover of the full Dexter's Lab opening theme. Though I can't pin down who I'd like to do it... That and Samurai Jack. Samurai Jack was awesome.
-
I have a punk cover of Fraggle Rock that's pretty good. Since the original SMGH had stuff like H.R. Puffnstuff and The Bugaloos (pleeeeeeeeease don't tell me if you're too young to know those, i just don't need to be that aware of my mortality) Fraggle Rock would fit right in.
Another one that comes to mind that should have been done is The Great Space Coaster.
And rather than the Animaniacs theme, I think I'd rather hear them do Yakko's World. True, the music wasn't original, but the application of lyrics was exceedingly awesome, and hearing that done with guitars, and maybe the screaming voice of Ozzy Osborne would be mind blowing.
-
I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I always liked G.I. Joe as a kid. I'd like to hear it done by Avenged Sevenfold; really rock it up and all that. ;)

I could get behind an AX7 cover of the G.I. Joe theme. :)
-
AX7 could do their dueling guitar thing, throw in a nice melodic riff over some heavy chords, and BAM! you got a sweet thing goin' on. ;D
