Any Disney Channel kid can recognize their favorite show from its opening theme song, but which songs are the most iconic? These are the best.

For over 30 years, Disney Channel has dominated childhoods with a string of iconic TV shows – and equally iconic theme tunes. These hits have become as much a part of the network’s legacy as the shows themselves, launching the careers of tween superstars like Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Raven Symone.

Even long after these shows went off the air, their title theme songs live on in Disney nostalgia forever. There have been endless hits over Disney’s past three decades of original television content, but which are the best?

10 Good Luck Charlie – “Hang In There Baby”

Sung by the show’s lead star, Bridgit Mendler, “Hang In There Baby” is the opening track to Good Luck Charlie. Just like the show itself, its lyrics focus on making the most of the small moments, like “burnt toast,” “dad jokes,” and losing your left shoe.

Each episode of the show focuses on the memories Teddy Duncan records to one day share with her younger sister, Charlie. The song is incredibly fitting, and its tone is just as lighthearted and bouncy as its source material. Both are the very definition of feel-good content.

9 The Proud Family – “Proud Family”

Any show would be lucky to have Solange and Destiny’s Child perform their opening theme, never mind a cartoon on the Disney Channel. Solange is joined by her sister Beyoncé and her bandmates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland to sing about what makes a solid family unit – something the show’s main character Penny Proud relies upon to get through the trials and tribulations of teenage life.

Unlike most tunes on the network, The Proud Family has an R&B-inspired soundtrack instead of pop. Not only does this make it unique in the context of the Disney Channel, but it’s also endlessly listenable – even outside of the TV show.

8 Cory In The House – “Cory In The House”

Cory in the House is one of the most surreal shows on Disney Channel, taking the younger brother (Cory) and father (Victor) of That’s So Raven’s Baxter family and transplanting them into the White House because why not?

The show never hit the same stride as its predecessor, but the theme song comes pretty close. Rapped by the show’s star, Kyle Massey (in character as Cory) it tells the story of how he came to live in “the House” in the first place. It’s as ridiculous and eccentric as the show itself, which is exactly why it works.

7 Phineas And Ferb – “Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day”

Over the course of its 129-episodes, Phineas and Ferb features countless catchy tunes. Each and every one is totally out of pocket, covering everything from the definition of “aglet” to the relatable conundrum of having squirrels in your pants. Such is the random occurrences that happen in the best, longest summer ever.

Viewers should have known exactly what to expect from the opening sequence. “Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day” – sung by Bowling for Soup – starts off slow, anticipating the 104 days of summer vacation ahead. Then it explodes into total, high-paced chaos. This is basically the structure of every Phineas and Ferb episode, and just as much of an adrenaline rush.

6 American Dragon: Jake Long – “The Chosen One”

Despite being cut short at two seasons, American Dragon: Jake Long still managed to go through two different theme songs. Both are very similar, explaining the predicament faced by tells the story of teenager Jake Long, who has to balance pre-teen life with the ability to transform into a dragon.

The main difference between them is Jake’s solo rap – and the small fact that the second rendition is sung by the Jonas Brothers. Regardless, both versions stylistically reflect Jake’s Chinese-American background. It’s an energetic opener that could hype up any audience.

5 DuckTales – “DuckTales Theme”

Penned by award-winning songwriter Mark Mueller, the opening strains of the DuckTales theme are instantly recognizable to anyone who was a child in the late ’80s and early ’90s. This isn’t any average cartoon opening – this is an adventure from the very first beat.

DuckTales is all about the rollicking adventures of Scrooge McDuck and his three grandnephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie. This is Indiana Jones for kids, and a theme this invigorating is exactly what it needs.

4 Wizards Of Waverly Place – “Everything Is Not What It Seems”

Like plenty of Disney stars before and after her, Selena Gomez launched her musical career with the opening theme of her own show. “Everything Is Not What It Seems” speaks of the mysterious world of magic behind the Russo family’s seemingly normal life, sung from the perspective of its only daughter, Gomez’s Alex Russo.

Wizards of Waverly Place made its mark with a quirkier, more offbeat sense of humor than other shows on the network at the time. This theme follows a similar pattern, with its addictive hook and impossible-not-to-repeat refrain of “yes, please.”

3 That’s So Raven – “That’s So Raven”

That’s So Raven broke the usual Disney theme tune mold by having not one but two of its stars perform on the track. While Raven-Symoné (Raven Baxter) takes the reins, Anneliese van der Pol (AKA her best friend, Chelsea) sings back-up on the chorus and Orlando Brown (her other best friend, Eddie) raps at its highest point.

The result? Unadulterated joy. Its source material – a show about a teenager, Raven, who sees visions of the future – is difficult to condense into one minute, but this song treats it with just enough levity to sidestep melodrama. Also, it just happens to be an absolute bop.

2 Hannah Montana – “The Best Of Both Worlds”

Documenting the life of Miley Stewart — student by day, international pop star by night — Hannah Montana defined an entire generation of Disney Channel viewers. Although its eponymous star had numerous hits so good that Miley Cyrus should arguably revive them today, none are quite as iconic as “The Best of Both Worlds.”

From the moment the drums kick in, it’s three minutes of pure pop adrenaline. The song underwent a facelift for the release of Hannah Montana: The Movie and subsequent seasons of the show, somehow upping the ante with a rockier, punchier vibe that went even harder than the original. The song’s only fault? It explicitly tells the world Hannah Montana is living a double life, yet nobody thought to question it.

1 Kim Possible – “Call Me, Beep Me”

Kim Possible broke multiple records during its time, becoming the longest-running animated show on the network (until Phineas and Ferb) and its highest-rated show. Most of this success comes down to the fact that it was a non-stop action-comedy, accessible for all ages — but some of it is definitely thanks to its banger of a theme tune, “Call Me, Beep Me!” by Christina Milian.

This R&B-inspired tune is just as dramatic as the show itself. Kim Possible aired at the dawn of a teenage era defined by cellphones, and what makes the song so fitting for the show is the way it interplays the sound of Kim’s Kimmunicator throughout. It’s impossible not to hear it and say, “What’s the sitch?”
