The spin off series from the film of the same name, M*A*S*H ran into the 80’s long after the Korean War, during which it was set, ended. But that aside, composer Bernard Hoffer nailed it for 80’s rock. The ThunderCats, who were Thunderians from the planet Thundera who held the Sword of Thundera? Definitely a theme. Dramatic and production heavy, with better guitar solos than you would hear on today’s chart records.Īdmittedly the word “thunder” is a little too frequent to count as really great lyrics, but that was pretty symptomatic of the whole show. Despite being the intro to a children’s cartoon about a band of space cats battling the mutants and their mummified leader Mumm-Ra, the music is just a brilliant piece of 80’s rock.

ThunderCats HOOOOOO! It’s been over twenty years and I still get excited when I hear the theme from ThunderCats.
