Let me know what you think or if I left something out that should have been included! And if you’ve never heard any of these before, check them out on YouTube and find out if you like them as much as I do!

Something I noticed as I was making this list is that the Scooby-Doo series is the absolute king of great theme songs. It appears on the list five different times.
