For me, it’s the 2000’s television news opening from the belgian TV named “La Une”. It rocks and brings back memories.

MacGyver (1985)
The theme from Sherlock along with Holmes’ little “the game is on” leimotif were pretty great.
Same with the driving beat from the Arrow title card — in fact I’m a big fan of Blake Newly in general, but it’s the track “Setting Up the Lair” from the first season that plays most of my favourite elements.
But the title sequence that stands out best for me is the 2010 version of the Doctor Who theme. The music from that season in particular has always hit me hard, but all of Murray Gold’s work on the show was phenomenal.
Setting Up the Lair is totally on my workout playlist! Blake Neely really knows how to write a score that keeps me pushing when I start to run out of gas.
The electric guitar cover of Neely’s “Flash vs Arrow” theme by Niall Stenson is also on my workout mix, makes it feel like I’m training to survive against a metahuman which is very motivating!
The expanse
I absolutely love The Expanse intro – I always let it play for the incredible song and started to notice all the changing visuals to match the progression in the show as a result.
DuckTales is one of those opening songs that I sing along with because I know the lyrics. The Expanse is one of those opening songs that I sing along with despite not knowing any of the lyrics at all.
In the spirit of ducktales. Captain Bucky O’Hare
The only lyrics I remember are his name in the chorus but it’s definitely stuck with me. Also he’s a space explorer! With that, Bucky O’Hare kind of bridges the gap between The Expanse and DuckTales in a way.
Hands down Peacemaker for me
https://youtu.be/_mrr3UNALwwNever once skipped that intro while watching the show.
This was what I was looking for, the intro to Peacemaker never fails to brighten my day! It’s easily the most James Gunn thing imaginable and it’s brought to life for all to enjoy. I added so many songs from that show’s soundtrack onto my workout playlist, all starting with the intro song.
It is so completely perfect that I’m really curious what they’re gonna do for the Season 2 intro with new incoming characters in place of the leaving minor characters since they brilliantly used even actors in small roles as part of the big dance.
