Line 44:
* Rap versions of the theme to ''[[The Addams Family]]'' are played over the closing credits of both movies.
* [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney movies]] simultaneously release the version one hears in the soundtrack, plus a version recorded by a popular recording artist arranged specifically for radio play with the intention of getting a hit single.
** Disney had produced (at least) three albums of rearranged songs: "Simply Mad About The Mouse" (which had it's own [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luoPNxyi2fE&feature=PlayList&p=990A41B1699BE352&index=0 TV special]), "Stay Awake" (which features [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4_zaZ3utUY Tom Waits'] version of [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|the Seven Dwarfs' marching song]]), and an album featuring R&B and pop singers singing their favorite Disney songs.
* The ''[[Mission Impossible (film)|Mission Impossible]]'' movies featured at least one remixed version of the old theme, which was actually quite snappy (about the only thing I liked about the last two movies WAS the theme, in fact)

* ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Ben 10 Alien Force]]'' is a mostly new song, but threaded through it, arranged Action Movie style is an instrumental arrangement of the first two sung lines from the original, bubblegum pop-style ''[[Ben 10]]'' theme song.
* ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]'' got a new version of the [[Theme Tune]] to go with the [[Art Shift]] in Season 2. The original version was sort of light and mystical-sounding. The Season 2 rearrangement was full of crunchy guitar and was definitely made to sound more like rock.
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' theme has been rearranged countless times in the series, to the point where it is almost a [[Running Gag]].
** But that's mostly during the closing credits, within the body of an episode, or on special episodes. There have only been three versions of the main opening theme: the original [[Danny Elfman]] arrangement, another Elfman arrangement for season 2, and the Alf Clausen arrangement from season 3 onward.
