Talk:Theme song

What category would this fall under? -- SFH 00:12, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

And what type of music was the TRANSFORMERSTRANSFORMERS Cybertron theme? Techno? Trance? Really bad music?

Wiki sez: "Paul Oakenfold (born August 30, 1963 in Greenhithe, Kent[1] England) is a record producer and one of the best-known Trance DJs worldwide." --Zodberg 06:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

It should be noted that Armada's trance style Transformers theme did have lyrics, but it was only ever heard during the episodes, never as the opening theme song itself. --FFN 05:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Exterior links

So, do we provide link with videos (or at least music) to the themes in questions? (youtube is full of it)

Cover Versions

Should there be a section for various cover versions of this song that have come out from bands like Black Lab and Solarice? Or would something like that fit into the 21st Century portion? Koh4711 02:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Are they official? As in have they been used in an official Transformers capacity? --FFN 02:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

They've not been part of any show, but given that several of them have been released on commercial CDs, so they'd be official in terms of being licensed by Hasbro, in all likelihood. They'd be something akin to licensed merchandise, I'd think. Koh4711 03:15, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

This wiki deals with things in Transformers that have been officially sanctioned or endorsed by Hasbro and/or Takara-Tomy for use in Transformers or the promotion of Transformers. I am not familiar with them but if these covers are just some band somewhere deciding to play the Transformers theme song because of the movie, then it's not likely to be official. --FFN 03:33, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Animated Theme

Im pretty sure "More than they appear/Justice, bolts and gears!" hasnt appeared in the theme song so can we remove this from the article? Donutter 22:02, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

You have a point about it not appearing, but it does exist and so warrants mentioning. I've modified that section to explain how we know about the verse, even though it hasn't aired on TV.--Apcog 22:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

On the subject of Animated's theme song, its first verse uses the same word order as Cybertron's theme. --ZeldaTheSwordsman 14:20, 15 January 2010 (PST)

Smosh

I was just thinking, should Smosh's Transformers Rap be mentioned on this page? Just a random thought, sorry if it's a stupid question.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blitzwing (talk • contribs).

Who and the what? If they don't have anything to do with Transformers in an official capacity, then they have no reason whatsoever to be mentioned here. --FFN 16:50, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Court case

Does anyone have details about the Ann Bryant court case? Didn't she claim sole credit for writing the song, too? Should that go into the article?--Nevermore 11:48, 1 July 2009 (EDT)

Here's something about it...I think it says she lost the case, but anyone who knows this legal stuff better should check it out. -Mazenoise 12:49, 1 July 2009 (EDT)

"The"

I've always been puzzled by the the in the theme tune ("The Transformers, more than meets the eye" etc). It doesn't fit the music, it's superfluous, and the singers sound pushed to sing it within the split-second they have. As a kid I completely missed it, and assumed the song went "Transformers, more than etc". Was this just pedantry on the part of the writers, or was there e.g. a trademark issue that forced them to put in the definitive article? -Ashley Pomeroy 16:45, 1 August 2009 (EDT)

The line was called "The Transformers" at least in early G1. Look at some pictures of first year g1 boxes, or early issues of the Marvel Comics series. All have "The" in front of the "Transformers" logo. Not sure when they dropped it, or why. 76.226.100.105 15:57, 19 April 2011 (EDT)

"RiD commercials"

I've found myself watching old commercials and hey, some of the RiD ones feature an Energon-style theme. The music is different, but singing is the same.

I'm afraid to mess the article up with my English though.

Extended ending

I never saw it mentioned here, but I recently discovered an extended cut of the G1 Season 1-2 ending credits theme song which is, basically, the aforemented ending credits song played 4-5 times with some extra sinth beats and someone saying "TRANSFORMERS" with a distorted voice over it. It apparently was the b-side of the vinyl with the French theme song. --User:Phantom Dusclops'92 15:16, 01/04/2014 (EDT)

DA NA-NAH NA-NAH DUM!

The iconic DA NA-NAH NA-NAH DUM! musical sting obviously originated from the tagline. Example: Ro-Bots-IN-Dis-Guise!--Keepcalm&rollout (talk) 12:02, 29 May 2014 (EDT)

Problem: DA NA-NAH NA-NAH DUM! has more syllables than Robots in Disguise. --Khajidha (talk) 12:42, 29 May 2014 (EDT)
