10 awesome 80’s cartoon theme songs
written by geoffrey on 06/30/08

on youtube, this is called “top 10 cartoon theme songs from the 80’s,” which i couldn’t agree less with.  but these guitar-and-synth 80’s action themes, most of which are looking to the transformers song as a model, are all completely rockin’.  spiiiiiiiraaaaaal zoooooone!

    They made a show out of pole position? Pole Position sucks!

    Also, on the topic of 80’s cartoons, there is this one cartoon that’s title has been bugging me for years. When I was a kid, there was a cartoon about these three guys who has special armor (One was land based, on water based, and one air based) and the only thing specific I member about the show is one of the guys name was McCloud. I really don’t know what it was called, do you now what im talking about?

    however, pole position does have one of the greatest tv ads ever made for a video game.

    i bet the show you’re thinking of is the centurions (1985), which featured a character named ace mccloud.

    no problem. i know what it feels like. i had this song stuck in my head:

    “it’s a beautiful day” - pizzicato 5

    …for several years, but didn’t know the author or title. i just knew i saw it once on viva variety, lol.
