The 10 Most Iconic Theme Songs From Your Childhood

Are you ready kids? If you responded "Aye aye, Captain," you are allowed to continue reading.

Growing up in the 2000s was a beautiful mix of new technology and the "good ol' days". Almost none of us had smartphones until high school, and computers were far too slow to warrant spending a day staring at them.

So, naturally, we just watched a lot of TV.

Here are what I see as the most iconic theme songs from 2000s kids shows. If you think I'm wrong, I welcome you to fight me in the comments.

1. Spongebob Squarepants

Of course, Spongebob had to win. If you ask the question "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?" to someone in my age group, there's probably a 94% chance they'll respond correctly. Long live Spongebob.

2. Drake and Josh

What can I even say about this one? It's an all-around great song, from the harmonies to the brotherly love it portrays. What a song. What a show.

3. Phineas and Ferb

This might be a biased opinion since I still watch Phineas and Ferb quite often, but this theme song is genius. Bowling for Soup even performed it at Warped Tour last year. Epic.

4. Avatar: The Last Airbender

My friends and I quote this intro religiously to this very day. I don't know if it counts as a song, but as the creator of the list, I will let it remain here.

5. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody

This is one of those songs that could exist in the actual music world, if unsuccessfully. It's a sweet life indeed.

6. The Fairly OddParents

Even though I had no idea what they were saying half the time, this theme song was constantly stuck in my head as a kid (and it will probably happen to you now that I think about it--sorry).

7. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

The image of the house is forever imprinted into my brain, and the music is one step away from being terrifying. I also just wanted to include something from Cartoon Network, and this is the show that stood out most.

8. Hannah Montana

Rewatching this one reminded me of what friendship is about--keeping secrets from the rest of the world that could compromise your happiness.

9. Jimmy Neutron

The song that actually made everyone wish they were nerdier.

10. iCarly

This theme song somehow showcases both the best and worst of technology--its ability to join people together mixed with the added responsibility it brings.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
