Forthe composing of the theme song, Ben Bocquelet asked composer Ben Locket to score the original early reel of the show in 2010.[1] Bocquelet sent Locket various production images, and Locket felt the show needed a bright and quirky theme with a good vibe to match the feeling of the colorful art styles. The arrangement was created for the early reel, but was later redone for the opening of the show.

In the United Kingdom and most other parts of the world, the opening theme music and video are played before each airing of The Amazing World of Gumball. The introduction is a disjointed display of various psychedelic images of various inhabitants of the city of Elmore, accompanied by a cheery and bright melody.


In the United States airings of The Amazing World of Gumball, the theme song is shortened to a length of five seconds. A possible reason for this is the American version of Cartoon Network tends to sell as much advertising as possible to maximize profits. This is a common tactic used by American television networks that often precludes full end credits from being shown, often abridging, minimizing, or, in Nickelodeon and the USA's case, showing the credits on the lower left part of the screen as the episode is ending, to the chagrin of many viewers who may miss gags/extra bits during the credits.


The music of Latin America is as diverse as the multiple ethnicities and languages spoken across the continent. Each and every region, from Mexico to Puerto Rico, from Cuba to Colombia, has given the world a wide array of rhythms and emotions to celebrate life and to experience sorrow. This listening guide is an introduction to a very rich and complex treasure trove of music genres.


WHO PLAYS IT: One of the earliest cumbia groups is Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto. The undisputed accordion and cumbia king is Andrs Landero, a former member of Los Gaiteros who first learned cumbia on the gaitas and later transferred that sound, its harmony, and its melody to the diatonic accordion.


WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE: A bolero is a love song, with lyrics expressing passion and melancholy, longing and heartache. A bolero singer surrenders the soul in every verse and musical phrase. Boleros can be performed in a wide variety of settings: small or big bands accompanying a singer, a singer-pianist, and guitar trios. Boleros are the equivalent of American standards.


WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE: A ranchera singer can easily pour his or her heart out in a three-minute song. While male ranchera singers project virile, macho-like images, women singers reveal the spiritual and melodramatic similarities rancheras have with American blues. A ranchera can be played on a guitar or accompanied by a full mariachi ensemble.


WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE: Msica nortea incorporates ideas from various genres from across Mexico and south Texas, including corridos, rancheras, huapangos, and polkas. The lyrical content varies depending on the genre. Corridos are stories of legends, heroes, and criminals; rancheras are songs about despair, heartache, and abandonment; huapangos and polkas are festive, upbeat dance tunes.


For their part, Caf Tacvba has continually expanded a sonic palate that brings together countless genres ranging from punk to electronica, along with Mexican genres such as huapango, bolero, ranchera, and myriad elements from Mexican and Latin American music traditions.


"Gotta Go Fast" is the opening theme of the U.S. English dub of Sonic X. It was used in the Hispanic American Spanish, Persian, Brazilian Portuguese and Biggs' European Portuguese dubs and is used for all 78 episodes in the series, during the show's entire original run in the US from 23 August 2003 to 6 May 2006. The full version is played during the intro and a shortened version is played during the end credits for all English versions. In the ending credits of certain English versions of the show, the song can sometimes be heard high-pitched or low-pitched due to the 4% speed-up in certain countries. The trade mark is copyright.


A version was also done by "4Kids 5", which ran during commercial breaks as a music video of the band playing along with clips from the show. This version, alongside the original version, is featured on the album "Music From 4Kids TV".


The Sailor Moon Theme Song was the theme song for the original English dub of the anime. It used the same melody as the song Moonlight Densetsu, but had very different lyrics (said to be written by Andy Heyward) and an altered instrumental. It should also be noted the song somewhat resembles a superheroine anthem, rather than being about love like Moonlight Legend was.


At the time the English dub was released, it was unusual for anime theme songs to be translated, and this was one of the first attempts to do so in English since the anime Star Blazers in 1979 (26 years before the anime's dub introduction). The English theme has been described as "inane but catchy" by several people.


The Johnny Test Theme Song 2 is the second theme song used in the Johnny Test cartoon. In Canada, it was used ever since Season 2's premiere, Hoist the Johnny Roger, up to Season 4's finale, Johnny X Strikes Back Again, running 104 episodes. In the United States, it was used on Season 4 episodes, Cartoon Network and Netflix airings of the second and third seasons, and streaming service copies of the first season (excluding the Mill Creek Entertainment DVD releases of Johnny to the Center of the Earth and Johnny X). On Kids WB, It was either never used, or only used in Season 3.


Like in the last theme song, this theme song also starts with a countdown, and, as it reaches 0, the words Johnny, followed by Test, blink a few times. Then, the radioactivity sign is shown, becoming lower. Johnny than jumps on it, and, after it spins a few degrees, Johnny takes off with the Turbo Action Backpack, flying to the lab, where he takes a radioactive chewing gum created by his sisters. As he eats it, he changes to Johnny X, and uses the hurricane hands to make the lab a mess. Dukey is than shown laughing, as Johnny rides Scoots, and stops near him.


Dukey jumps on scoots, and they leave the lab, passing through Lila's room, who is working on the pc, and through the kitchen, which Hugh tries to make it shine, finally reaching upstairs, to the door to Johnny's room. As Johnny opens the room, a lot of junk comes out of it, including a surf board, which Johnny uses to surf on the junk.


The intro than shows clips from random episodes from Season 2, clips shown up until the ending on the theme, which is also taken from the old theme song, with Dukey breaking the guitar. Johnny's sisters shutting a handle down, and the cartoon's logo "Johnny Test" appears on the screen with the words "Created by Scott Fellows" at the bottom.


There are a lot of things that make the U.S. version of The Office a wonderful show. However, there was one thing that managed to capture the fans' attention from the very beginning: the intro and the theme music. However, did fans know that the show's editors had planned to go with a different theme song?


According to Mashable, they had been planning on using ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky" but had to quickly change it quickly because of another show. It's strange to think that The Office's theme song was then written so quickly afterward, but even that fact makes it all the more special to fans. Considering how the editors, showrunners, and musical directors had worked hard and put a lot of effort in, fans have come to love the song and appreciate all the hidden and minuscule details found in the title sequence.


Updated on February 24th, 2022, by Kayleigh Banks: The Office has got one of the most memorable title sequences of all time. Not only is its theme song one of the most iconic tunes in sitcom history, but the clips the editors also included are quite unique too (especially as they capture the show's quirky comedy perfectly). But how did they come up with it?


In some of the episodes from the Office Ladies' podcast, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey have revealed how the writers and directors came up with the concept and the meaning behind some of clips and objects included too.


While the title sequence didn't change much throughout its nine-year tenure, there was one episode where the writers changed the setting. In the season 5 episode "Michael Scott Paper Company," the sequence now shows the workplace of the new business and hints at what the new dynamics will be like. But how did it come about?


In "Episode 99" of the Office Ladies' Podcast, Jenna Fischer revealed that it was actually Mindy Kaling's idea to film a new title sequence [00:26:31]. The show's directors, Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, were fully committed to the idea and then tried their best to get them to match the style and tone of the original ones. It's certainly worth another look if the fans decide to rewatch it because there is plenty of easter eggs and throwbacks to previous episodes too.


If there is one part of the title sequence that has proven to be quite memorable, it is the shot of the managers fixing their "figurines." But did fans notice the objects they chose and the manner they fixed them to fit their personalities perfectly?


When Michael fixes his Dundie award, he does so with pride (which just shows how much he values keeping up morale and the workplace). For Andy, with him attempting to straighten up his Captain figurine only to drop it, the viewers are able to see how this illustrates his passion for sailing and his clumsy nature. Creed turning his statue the wrong way hints at how he is never paying attention and Dwight's shogun statue reflects his knowledge of Japanese culture and history.


Given that Jim had been co-manager with Michael in season 6, it does seem strange that he never got one (even Creed got one and he was only in charge of the day). The only reasonable explanation seems to be that the writers knew Jim wouldn't be in the position long-term, ultimately foreshadowing his return to the sales department.
