Episode 103 – Top Ten Cartoon Theme Songs

This week on The Sleepover Retro Countdown Show, Rob and Guido crack open the cereal boxes and dive into a neon-soaked battle of animated earworms. From the synth-sweet heroic blasts of the mid-80s to the chaotic sing-along charm of the 90s, the guys sort through ten iconic cartoon themes pulled straight from the analog vaults. These are the songs that got you out of bed on Saturday mornings, blasted from living-room floor consoles, and rewired a generation of kid brains for maximum hype. Grab your Walkman, pop in a fresh tape, and relive the era when a theme song could sell an entire universe.

Guido arrives armed with Gummi Bears, Jayce, Jem, He-Man, and She-Ra; Rob counters with Muppet Babies, Space Ghost, Animaniacs, G.I. Joe (the movie version), and the indestructible TMNT anthem. Round by round, they negotiate, duke it out, and slowly carve the perfect ten-track playlist of cartoon greatness.
