Eighties Cartoon Lyrics Quiz

November 30, 2007 - -

Okay, here's a new one. This is a list of lyrics from twenty different cartoons from my childhood. Maybe they're not all eighties - some of these may drift into the seventies - but see how many you can get. I'll try to dig up YouTube links to the intros when I give out answers.

  1. Stryker's gonna lead the mission, and Spectrum's got such super vision...
  2. There's action, there's comedy, there's danger, there's Penny, there's bad luck hula...
  3. From the minds of mortal men, the mightiest of machines
  4. From my video, to my radio
  5. Set free by the teen angels from his prehistoric block of glacier ice comes the world's first superhero...
  6. There's a power that comes from deep inside of you, 'cause every day you're reaching toward the light...
  7. This is the story of the super force of space explorers...
  8. Get set to have some fun - we'll bring you action and satisfaction
  9. ...watching, warning against surprise attack by alien galaxies from beyond space
  10. D-d-d-danger lurks behind you - there's a stranger out to find you
  11. The year 1994. From out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, and unleashing cosmic destruction. Man's civilization is cast in ruin.
  12. Feel the magic, hear the roar
  13. If you could breathe underwater, where would you go? If you had friends underwater who would you know?
  14. At the speed of light, he arrives just in time
  15. Creating history thru the rock n' roll spotlight, we've got a friend who helps us, we can do alright
  16. What a sight to see him jogging block after block, things begin to shake and break and rattle and rock...
  17. Now I'm gonna sing a song for you, and you're gonna learn a thing or two...
  18. Searching for a distant star, heading off to Iscandar. Leaving all we love behind, who knows what dangers we'll find?
  19. Mars, stars, the milky way, when they're groovin' who can say
  20. When your room looks kinda weird and you wish that you weren't there...
