I Rank The Most Iconic Childhood  Theme Songs of Our Generation

The Six Most Iconic and Fabulous Theme Songs from My Childhood

Youtube

Sometimes I just need to bust out some old theme songs from my favorite shows of my childhood, and nobody should judge me for that. These songs not only fill me with nostalgia and a sense of familiar comfort from my younger years, but they are simply fantastic tunes. Can we also acknowledge the golden age of teen television that was the 2000's? Thank you. Here's my ultimate ranking of the six most iconic television show theme songs of our generation. Enjoy!

1. Drake & Josh: I Found A Way

Drake Bell singing with his rugged voice and electric guitar always made my eleven-year-old-self feel some type of way! Even if you didn't have an adolescent crush on Drake Bell, this song is just a bop and I don't know how anyone could disagree. Of course, the high pitched "OooOoOoOooh" at the end of this timeless tune really seals the deal for Drake & Josh at the first place ranking.

2. Zoey 101: Follow Me

The little flirty whisper of, "Are you ready?" at the beginning of the song is absolutely fabulous and sets the tone of the show perfectly. Jaime Lynn Spears did not come to play with this one, and I will forever respect her because of this musical masterpiece. This song captures teen romance and young flirtation perfectly, and the theme song has not gotten nearly enough praise in the past fifteen years. Therefore, Zoey 101has secured the second place ranking.

3. Hannah Montana: Best Of Both Worlds

We've all wished we were that small town country girl whose life doubled as an international pop star… Hannah you really got the best of both worlds. This entire show was iconic and the theme song is no different. These were the shows that shaped us as children. And the little "Ooh woah woah yeah's" in the transitions of the show… come on! Iconic. Naturally, Hannah Montana owns our generation; third place for you, Hannah!

4. Wizards of Waverly Place: Everything Is Not What It Seems

Miss Selena! She popped off on Everything Is Not What It Seems with her character's rebellious personality shining through the fast-paced lyrics. We loved this show for Alex's relatable self and her inability to use wizard powers responsibly, and this theme song captures it perfectly. The fourth place ranking goes to Miss Selena. Honorable mention to the song, "What's that? A hat. Crazy funky junky hat. Overslept, hair unsightly, trying to look like Kiera Knightley. We've been there, we've done that. We see right through your funky hat." Yeah, I'm an adult but I still need to sing every word of that song in my head if anyone around me mentions a hat.

5. iCarly: Leave It All To Me

Let's be honest, Miranda Cosgrove was way ahead of her time when she tried to "wake up the members of our nation." We should've listened when the queen of Nickelodeon was calling us in 2007. And when the queen starts singing, you have no choice but to join in on the chorus; no exceptions. Leave It All To Me from iCarly earns a fifth place ranking on the most iconic childhood TV shows of our generation.

6. Victorious: Make It Shine

First of all, every song performed on this show was sung beautifully with fantastic charisma and teen-misfit spunk. I used to wish with every bone in my body that I could go to Hollywood Performing Arts School with Tori Vega and the other talented freaks. But alas, this theme song is all I have left to remember my fleeting childhood dreams of being a singing teen misfit. Sixth place for Victorious (I know the Hollywood Performing Arts kids deserve better than this but it's the best I can do, I'm sorry.) I'd also like to give an honorable mention to Freak The Freak Out and Best Friend's Brother for being amazing songs from Victorious as well.


I hope you got something out of my ultimate ranking of the most iconic television show theme songs of our generation. I know I feel amazing now that I have every Hannah Montana transition stuck in my head. Until the next time I need to rank something unnecessary...

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
