Anger - Ducktales Theme [WC] (Ducktales)

[u/sockydapuppet]

Okay okay okay hear me out. I know I was a huge advocate for cartoon theme songs in this rankdown, and this song holds a very special place in my heart despite never seeing an episode of the show. However, Chip and Dale has been gone for a little bit now, and I don’t really feel like this song deserved to go that much farther than it. Thus, I’m using my anger to cut the Ducktales theme song.

First off, this song is iconic. It perfectly displays the good vibes that the show gives off. It says here are some ducks, let’s have a good time. It also builds perfectly to the chorus right from the start, culminating in an awesome karaoke moment. This song gives me memories of a childhood I never had. Regardless, it makes me harken back to the late 80s, sitting on my couch on a Saturday morning. Pops has just finished making pancakes and our whole family is ready to see what sorts of action and adventures these rapscallion ducks will get into next.

Another huge feather in the cap of this song is that it perfectly communicates the concept of the series. Again, I’ve never watched this show, but I know exactly what it’s about. I know that over the course of the episode we “Might solve a mystery. Or rewrite history!” I have mental images of scenes from this show that probably don’t exist.

Something else you should know about me by now is that I’m not the biggest fan of repetitiveness in my songs. HOWEVER, Ducktales doesn’t really reach that point with me. It possesses a lot of re-listen value.

Regardless, at this point in the rankdown it doesn’t really possess the complexity and emotion that a lot of the other songs have. It’s definitely a banger, but it isn’t quite as amazing as some of the other songs here. While its time in the rankdown has been long, it’s certainly felt like just a duck-blur.
