Having grown up in the 4kids era of dubbed anime, I have an appreciation for cheesy anime openings created for audiences outside Japan. My favorite one of these has to be what is now known as the One Piece Rap:

My brother and I LOVED it. Not so much nowadays.

What dumb, cheesy anime openings did you guys enjoy when you were kids and which ones do you enjoy now?

Nothing beats Saint Seiya's dubbed intro, which they decided should be "I Ran" by Flock of Seagulls simply because the first few seconds of the Japanese intro happened to feature the characters running.

On mobile so no link but the song starts with

"It was the first new century / in 100 years"

I wouldn't have minded this so much since I actually really like the original song, but the cover was fucking awful.

Also, too. I remember a couple of years I saw on Dic's website a completely different intro that was actually not too bad. It had lyrics like:

Saint Seiya!
He's got the meteor power!
Saint Seiya!
Fighting evil by the hour!

Unfortunately, I can't find that theme ANYWHERE on youtube. :(

Anime fans love to hate on this change from the original theme, but I guarantee you DBZ wouldn't have been half as successful in the US with Cha-La Head-Cha-La as the opening song.

Yeah, I mean it only worked for the rest of the world
