Swamp Thing Intro

[ThaOneChrisJONES]

I knew the song "Swamp Thing" before "Wild Thing" LOL !!!!

[akiratubo]

This is so corny. I love it.

[HeilEvilCupCake]

i remember every morning before school, id sit watching the old small tv eating lucky charms tuning in on swamp thing. you cant beat the 90's!

[DABthe1]

Oh, man, I never knew there was a Swamp Thing cartoon! Now I won't rest until I watch this, hahaha!

[TheDudar]

@2112murphy are you suggesting that there was a song to fill the plot and not a plot to fill the song?

[EloSolo]

I've never more wanted to grab a gun and walk into a building to hunt down someone who totally destroyed one fo the greatest rock songs of our...HOLY CRAP, WAS THAT KWAME FROM CAPTAIN PLANET???

[vomitgorefromheaven]

The 11 dislikes are from Alan Moore.

[DABthe1]

@vomitgorefromheaven Hahaha!

[csl316]

Ah, good memories.

[andrewbogard1]

i had the toys, all of them.

[tyciol]

How is it that this only lasted 5 episodes yet I had several toys and the song was burned into my brain yet merged with "Wild Thing" in a confusing way.

[Railx22]

Little known fact: Wild Thing was stolen from this song

[InkFlavourJelly]

lmfao

wtfamIwatching.

[1982Nightwing]

Ok, when I was about 10 to 12 years of age, I loved this song. Now that I am 30 years old, I want to rip of my ears.

[zimmcat]

gayest theme ever, no creativity in it at all

[Stealthwilde]

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

[mickdudeboy9]

Better than Ben 10 crap today!

[xvorpsm]

i loved this show

[iToasterman]

Gizmodo

[ZECTCustomUnit]

Ahh the early years of Fox Kids...LMAO

[AbuBishir]

This is crap right here

[horrorjunkie92]

HAHAHA WILD THING!

[anxresi]

Why didn't they just spray him with weedkiller? P.S RE: The theme song: What a rip-off of a classic pop tune!!

[Wright805]

@anxresi They did. One of the Un-Men carried around a spraygun full of weedkiller and frequently used it against Swamp Thing. It's just Swamp Thing is very tough and could quickly recover if given fresh water. P.S. The theme song is awesome. I love how they use the "Wild Thing" tune and modify the lyrics.

[anxresi]

@Wright805 O RLY? Well thanks for that, now take some advice from me: keep your in-depth knowledge of this show to yourself. I am only thinking of your social well-being, you know. Oh, and get your ears checked too.. ;)

[emperordeebo]

i dont care if its cheap, it's still good :p

[fabiogogh]

lion chocolate bar

[MacDragard]

I only remember seeing one episode of this show before they decided to quickly give it the ax. Kinda sad because it sprouted a great line of action figures. I had the Swamp Thing figure that had the extending hand tied to a string.

[TheCrazyKakoos]

Talk about having childhood nostalgia poured into your brain. Holy shit, I haven't thought of this in 10 years.

[oriramu]

Born on the bayou fits the theme better here..

[Mysterwright]

Who else here believes that DC Comics has enough material to carry a whole cable TV network? Between what's pre-existing in reruns and original programs they could produce themselves, I believe it'd be a *huge* hit! All Superman series and cartoons, 60's Batman, Batman: The Animated Series, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Justice League and JLU, Teen Titans, Superfriends, Aquaman, Filmation Justice League of America incl. Hawkman, Atom, Green Lantern, etc. Shazam, Plastic-Man...!

[gargoylemon]

@Mysterwright way neat idea but i think i got a 1up on it, how bout if someone did the same thing only with all the cool 80's n 90's cartoons :bucky o hare: conan: dinosausers: denver the last dino: biker mice from mars: thunder cats: pirates of black water: thunder sharks: double dragons: transformers: ghostbusters: roadrunner n cyote ;b exo squasd: captian planet: captain N the game master: COPS : robocop: teenage mutant ninja turtles::: sonic the heagehog: uummm hmm i know theres was more ;)

[Mysterwright]

@gargoylemon Not bad!!!! Yeah dude, see that's good stuff right there. WildC.A.T.S., Savage Dragon, Street Fighter, GI Joe Extreme, The Tick, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Batman: The Animated Series, Goof Troop, Darkwing Duck, Quack Pack, Power Rangers, Big Bad Beetleborgs, Superhuman Samurai Cyber Squad, Sailor Moon, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, New Adventures of Johnny Quest, Two Stupid Dogs, Dexter's Lab, TMNT: The Next Mutation, Addams Family, Tales from the Cryptkeeper, Garfield and Friends..

[MacDragard]

@Mysterwright I agree with you except TMNT: Next Mutation was the gayest show ever.

[Mysterwright]

@MacDragard Haha, honestly I had guilty pleasure crush on Mona Lisa for not having a bandana to cover her turtle boobs. =))

[Shadowlooker12]

LMAO ROFL HAHAHA

[ronin6401]

Little known fact, the first swamp thing movie directed by Wes Craven

[itbegins2005]

Wow. I always thought I'd IMAGINED that song! Well, it's not nearly as badass at 24 as it was at six, but at least I know I didn't make this song up... especially considering how unbelievably lame it is.

[Kenro200x]

Cheesy but awesome! \m/

[Leatherbubba]

If you think this is weird you should see the Rambo,Toxic Avenger,and Robocop cartoons.

[moshomaniac1]

....with apologies to the Troggs

[finnishhooshasha]

wild thing

[Markel1970A]

This song is the cheesest theme song ever made! But it rocked my world at the time. I started to sing along every time it cam on. LOL

[mastmedia]

OMG!!! lol.

Burn The Master Tapes! PLEASE!!!

[12connection]

0:41

[spawnie456]

I got the same reaction watching this as I did reading Alan Moore's Swamp Thing comic.

[werewolf231000]

its like a rip off of the song Wild Thing only they changed the lyrics otherwise it is the same soundtrack

[CUTEANIMEFIGURESTV]

Awsome Video^,^

[chinguidinsky]

I heard this song for the first time with this cartoon so I always thought it was a swamp thing original when I heard the original I was like FUCKERS THEY COPIED SWAMP THING! lol then i learned the truth, anyway this cartoon was the shit! I WANTED ALL THE ACTION FIGURES!

[MWCfan78]

8 people think Arcane is bad for sure!!!!!

[deregiment]

lol oh man this song never left my head

[Monstermarkus]

So bad it's awesome

[ceXhc]

This cartoon was amazing, despite it's theme song sucking balls.

[marthedge]

@ceXhc

would have been better off with the 8-bit theme for the unreleased swamp thing game...

shit is great man

[martin408sanjose]

I remember watching this now it reminds me of G.I Joe

[texaswerewolf]

even as a kid this opening pissed me off.

[Leatherbubba]

If they ever make a new Swamp Thing movie,this has to be the theme song.

[misanthrope013]

STFU THIS CARTOON WAS THE SHIIIT!!!

[commentmutant]

THE COOLEST CARTOON THAT NEVER WAS...

[0ACapedCrusader0]

Those "un-men" used to creep me the hell out lol

[qwisp]

Is there no spite towards The Troggs for selling out their classic song?

[bsquire1]

I see this cartoon every time I hear "Wild Thing", and now I weep.

[Undeadspartan13]

Now I know why Alan Moore hates having his stuff turned into movies.

[Akerberus]

Is it wrong that I got a boner?

[RupeeClock]

I saw an episode of this one.

It's basically like Captain Planet, but specifically about protecting nature in general, with a nature creature.

[RadioWerewolfFans]

Damn. I love the guitar tone!

[israhell78]

wtf???? that song ???, iwonder if alan moore wrote a episodefrom this series

[supamonkey120]

Reminds me of Fawkes...

[Markiegee65]

Fox Kids

[devilmanII]

lol, wild thing remix :D

[funkiersnoog]

I rememberr the toys for this show more than I remember the show itself. And for all those bummed that the movies, show, and cartoon werent based on Wein's or Moore's work, the film is being remade in 3-D. And it wil likely be based on the work of one or both of those guys.

[Wright805]

Awesome song. I love how they use the "Wild Thing" tune and replace the lyrics. It's great.

[cha5]

Too bad they never tried to do anything outside of the basic Saturday morning kiddie cartoons peddling toys, I'm sure they never would have tried anything as ambitous as say an adaptation of Alan Moore's 'The Anatomy Lesson' or putting John Constantine into that cartoon,

but it might have been nice if Bruce Timm and Paul Dini had ever done a Swamp Thing cartoon that at least tried to capture the spirit of those classic Wein/Wrightson, Alan Moore/Steve Bissette comicbooks ala BTAS.

[Chillidan24]

quite possibly the laziest theme song ever

[Dethmasheen]

This is asking for

Kieron McDonald - Beware of the Swamp Thing.

[MacDragard]

I remember only seeing one episode of this show way back in the day before they cancelled it for some reason.

[theroninyoshimitsu]

why do I have a feeling that My Way entertainment is going to make fun of this cartoon, pretty soon than you think

[milthonjavier]

its so hard to find the action figures

[CamButler]

Wow that's one horrible theme song.

[kurwafucker]

worst theme song in the history of history

[lovethesuit]

This is just Wild Thing.

WHAT THE FUCK?!

[DarkHeartofblank]

@lovethesuit

Uh, NO SHIT! I knew that back when I was a kid, of course not everybody grew up with those songs I suppose.

[spiveyman100]

coolest cartoon in the world

[Markel1970A]

Tis toon was based on the movies and the T.V. series, and the bad guys were pretty cool-looking!

[Ildred]

Welp, THERE goes my nostalgia.

[1787dude]

ya, it was pretty fuckin terrible, but the bad guys looked cool

[ZoltonK]

Shittiest theme song ever. Alan Moore must be proud.

[Xerock]

of all the kiddie versions of more adult material, this was not the worst.

[9r9t3]

The level of lyrical mastery in this song is rivaled only by every band played on the radio now.

[FieryLoki]

Ahahahahaha.

[Bowmaj21]

That is the cheapest theme song I have ever heard!

[butchdeadlift10]

@Bowmaj21 check out the american Knights of the zodiac theme; they didn't even change the lyrics

[zastonecesda]

@Bowmaj21

How about "Born to be wild" on "Neverending Story 3" ?

[Bowmaj21]

Urrghh, don't remind me about that!

At least this song came up with it's own lyrics; Neverending Story 3 didn't even do that!

[PashynLillie52]

I wish I could find this on myspace so I can have it as my profile song....

LOVE swamp thing :D

[allaboutdmagic]

Look away Alan, it's all right. It'll be over soon...

[yellowcougar18]

I think my eyes and ears are bleeding after watching that intro.

Wow, that is pretty awful right there.

And while I know Alan Moore wrote the series in the 80's, shouldn't Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson be the ones to look away? They created the character.

I would be unable to give this show a chance after that terrible intro.

[WaterSam]

Alan Moore is responsible for revolutionizing and popularizing the character, and thus why many hold Alan Moore in high regard towards Swamp Thing. He changed things we thought we knew about the character and totally messed with our heads, and he also introduced John Constantine in the series.

He's not the creator, but he sure as hell made it his own during when he wrote it in the 80s.

[yellowcougar18]

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss Len Wein. He wrote some great stories when he created the character. Amazing stuff which people, strangely, seem to forget. And the visual side of the character will always be associated with Wrightson. Bissette was very good, as was Totleben, who is visually impaired, but Wrightson stamped his style on the character.

[WaterSam]

Oh, I am by no means dismissing Len Wein or the other writers for that matter, and yes they are still great stories. It's just that some consider Alan Moore's run to possibly be one of the most if not essential version of the character.

I'm just merely stating that Alan Moore makes his own (quite successfully) version of characters that ultimately redefine characters and sometimes even the genre itself.

Maybe I'm a bit biased seeing as how Moore is my fav writer, but it is only my opinion.

[galantpd]

and somewhere, Alan Moore is crying

[NameyMD]

@galantpd He didn't fucking create the Swamp Thing you idiot whore : )

[danceswithzombies]

@galantpd And that's bad because?

[phrexus]

@danceswithzombies Because we'll piss off the snake god Yig, duh.

[Duvmasta]

@galantpd why is Alan Moore a Vegetarian?

[Anamchara]

@galantpd Hey, at least Hannah-Barbera didn't try to gain the rights to Watchmen... now that would've been tragic!

[kranktank]

@galantpd he only cries if his hair allows it. his hair is the real entity, the human body is merely a host for it's greatness.

[redhoodx98]

@galantpd, and Len Wein is pissed.

[CommanderOfTheSun]

@galantpd lololol good.

[Magegg]

@galantpd Allan Moore didn't invent the character. He just altered it to his own taste, just as this series altered made it.

[Shishizurui]

i had so many action figures back when i was a kid he smelled nice thats the most memorable thing about them LOL

[vertmb]

That sounded hilariously stupid.

[addicted2you20]

lol my brother used to have glow in the dark swamp thing pajamas

[RevDrFaux]

you don't have a brother. enjoy your pajamas.

[addicted2you20]

lol cute. if only that were the case. i was jealous of his pj's

[Thumpa94]

HELL NAW!!! That's fucked up!

[neilss1]

AAAHAHAHAHAH i just lold my ass off at that comment top notch

[fedupN]

The Animation of that show was really high quality, all things considered.

[KaijuSlasher13]

alan moore would be pissed...

[texasguy0421]

0:34....I didn't realize that Dracula was responsible for him turning into Swamp Thing lol

[BenDaMan85]

That was Dr. Arcane thurr. DOI!!!

[eamonncake]

Have you seen that Watchmen cartoon intro spoof? It doesn't seem that far off the mark anymore.

[ackofgod]

the Swamp Thing cartoon was good as the Swamp Thing movie and tv show

[Deathscythehell85]

I remember having the action figures as a kid.

[TomzZLkpg]

YOU ARE AMAZING!!

[desuforsale]

this song lol

[DarthLee117]

luv this when i was a kid, when they bringing it 2 dvd or have they already?

[styxd9]

Classic from the era where cartoons told you that the horribly deformed were trying to pour toxic waste into your drinking water.

[peterparker12]

U know for awhile I didn't know Swamp thing was a comic book until like the Internet, I was convinced all this publicity was cuz of the show.

[brianllama150]

haha great take on wild thing:

"Swamp thing...you are amazing..."

Jimi Hendrix would be jealous.

[brianllama150]

and Chip Taylor, sorry.

[TimeBolt]

Jimi Hendrix would be jealous for what? That sound really stupid.

[brianllama150]

listen to some good music (aka Jimi Hendrix - Wild Thing) before claiming "that sound really stupid"

[davedave84]

i thought the troggs did wild thing

[CantaloupeArmy]

they did, but Chip Taylor wrote it.  Worth mentioning, though, thank you.

[RMJ1984]

Dont udnerstand this show didn last longer, i must admit i loved it quite much.

[AlTheRelic]

A true classic hero and as cheesy as this may sound he was good for young kids because he taught them to care for mother nature.

[eweyewewe]

the comic series by alan moore and others was amazing

[Shackle]

I watched those 5 episodes over and over again when i was a kid.

[SadisticFiend]

The Troggs have never been put to better use. hahaha

[thuggin83]

Yea I think about not a whole season but close to it..

[2rrkd]

it only lasted 5 episodes.

[ackofgod]

[ThePuppet]

[Taterbug889]
