Spartakus Sun Beneath the Sea - Menudo Theme

Title image of U.S. second season of Spartakus Sun Beneath the Sea with both the opening and closing theme by Menudo. Since no one has posted the full video, I came as close as I could to recreating it

I prefer the original theme song.

Nothing wrong with either version...Original helped tell the story better, newer one was more upbeat, more kid-friendly...

One must remember, in the U.S., Menudo were starting to become popular among English-speaking Americans. So Nickelodeon, who owned the rights to broadcast Spartakus (Les Mondes Engloutis) in USA thought that that using Menudo for the theme would help with ratings.

Man this show just did not HAVE any bad openings did it? Original French music was awesome, 1st english version was awesome, Menudo version was awesome. Dear God this show needs a movie adaptation. So bad.

Come on, Jack Black was BRON to play Nasty Max.

I have the Opening with Video on My Comp....unfortunately I can't put it on due to Copyright...

"Les mondes engloutis" didn't deserve such bad treatment...

This song totally takes me back 25 years ago when my family first got cable and we were able to watch Nickelodeon, the First Kid's Channel! Good times, thanks for posting this song. Just love that guitar break at the end!

Now this is the opening song that I remembered from when I was in grade school (some 25 years ago.) One of my favorite things to watch on Saturday night.

@EmperorofCartoons a live action adaptation would be interesting to pull off but you gotta be careful some studio doesnt some annoying child actress du jour to play Rebecca

[MrEduardoMF]

I gotta find out if Ricky Martin was in the group when they recorded this song. If I was a talk show host and he was on, I'd force to sing this.

I've had this song in my mind since grade school (Over 20 years ago)! The big issue is that I only caught this show once, so the only thing I remembered was this song. So awesome to run into this (and the show).

@GoGojiraGo They just don't make them they way they did 20 years ago do they?
