Super Hero Theme Songs

Yesterday, I eluded to the fact that most superheroes have theme songs. I even went out on a limb and guessed that Batman would have his theme song as a ringtone on his iPhone. Although most superheroes have their own theme song, is it a requirement to dawn the tights and fight crime? To an extent, I think it'd be cool to have a theme song play every time you jumped in your car through the window, stepped in a phone booth, or started to turn an odd shade of green because your angry. But there are a few stipulations. The theme song can only play when you do something cool, not every time you brush your teeth, or take a bite of an apple. It also has to be a good song, not "I'm a Barbie Girl, in a Barbie World," or (God-forbid) the Macarrana. Wouldn't that be awful; everytime you wanted to saved a city of unknowing citizens, they couldn't express their gratitude with anything but hand motions and rump-shaking... actually, that doesn't sound all that bad.

Although theme songs are common in the superhero world, they do not guarantee superhero powers... but they do
guarantee a factor of coolness. Take for instance, Magnum P.I.; the guy has a theme song, so he is "cool." Although studies are still being conducted to determine if the mustache has any effect as well. Nevertheless, I have decided that Otter needs a theme song. Any suggestions feel free to post what you think it should be in the comment section, or let me know what your personal theme song is. Until next time... same Otter Time, same Otter Website
