Still think Invader ZIM should have been an honorable mention at least. The bold visuals and colors only Jhonen Vasquez could provide really pumps you up for whatever craziness that is about to ensue. Also still love The Angry Beavers. So fun and a very catchy beat. :)

Hey Arnold, Rugrats, and Doug theme are a classic.

Who all knew it was gonna be Spongebob?

[nehsangbong]

🎶 Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? 🍍 SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! 🎶 😁

[LemonPine]

6:50 the creator, Butch Hartman, was actually explaining how in his shows he likes to explain the backstory, so whichever episode you start watching on, you'll have a brief knowing on what's going on.

[amandaschaefer]

Whenever the theme to "Danny Phantom" comes on, my brother gets right up and starts singing and dancing! 😄

[IWillBeHers]

Can you please do a similar list for the live-action Nickelodeon shows? I mean, Zoey 101 and Drake & Josh had lit af themes.

[matwar]

how in the literal multiversal flying fuck is invader zim not even in honourable mentions? It's an awesome theme tune that absolutely captures the dark and chaotic themes of the series.

[JohanRAM]

MsMojo: 'doesnt put TMNT'

Me: *so you have pizza*

[nef]

OMG! I can't believe Catdog is on the list! I love that show!

[toesheo]

Invader Zim! IT DOESN'T EVEN NEED A THEAM SONG!

[rickbeck]

As Told by Ginger, Invader Zim, Doug, and The Wild Thornberries are also great!

[esjam]

My favorites are Teenage Robot, Danny Phantom and Loud House

[hopemorlen]

I love Danny Phantom! In fact I'm in the process of rewatching the series. For childhood nostalgia proposes mainly.

How about a Disney version?

Here are some suggestions:

10. Gravity Falls (2012-2016)
Instrumental (literally and figuratively) to show the excitement of the Oregon town full of mysteries and adventures. With only a short clip of cryptographic audio recording at the end of the opening. With the Weirdmaggedon version changing the characters used.
9. The Emperors New School (2006-2008)
With an preface provided by Kuzco before moving into the song. The song explains why Kuzco has to go back to a school named after his likeness. Kuzco’s name fills in the chorus with extra details about the program.
8. Recess (1997-2001)
Similar to Gravity Falls, it is instrumental relying on familiar school sounds to fill in the visuals including familiar school bells included to make the show memorable.
7. The Proud Family (2001-2005)
6. Lilo and Stitch Series (2003-2006)
5. Wander (2013-2016)
Very fast paced but still fun to listen to each episode. Even if you are annoyed by the constant singing of the characters name.
4. Phineas and Ferb (2007-2015)
3. Tangled Series (2017-current)
2. Dave the Barbarian (2004-2005)
From the creators of Earthworm Jim. The programs opening follows the historic timeframe of the show and also has the title character exclaim his common catchphrase.
1. Kim Possible (absolutely above all) (2002-2007)
Kim Possible opens up the program in a fantastic way. In between show segments is a blue line patterned background with the opening showing the excitement of Kim fighting Drakken & Shego in addition to her traditional high school life and relationship with Ron and his faithful friend Rufus.
