Spiral Zone opened with its Big Bad telling the kids "Surrender or die" before the guitars kicked in, so it's my choice for the theme that goes hardest. https://youtu.be/wO2Cd9tyUvY

NGL that's one of those animated series that I wish would come back in some way, even if it was just a spiritual successor or something. I love the vibe, the world, and how it's visually kinda grubby.

Thank you for posting that! I was trying my best to remember the name of that song but I couldn’t remember. The first time I heard the “Forget Me Nots” I was like “Whaaaaat?”

hausofdecline.bsky.social•1 day ago

No that's the Will Smith song. The 90s animated theme song is like weirdo trip hop

reply

kanelawless420.bsky.social•1 day ago

Gotcha. I had a flashback from watching the movie at the theater, and at the end of the flick, I found myself saying "ey yo! That's "Forget Me Nots!"

reply

lusca-maki.bsky.social•1 day ago

They must have intentionally structured the bass line to sound like it's humming, "here come the men in black"
