For some reason, the folks who make children's shows think that their audiences will forget what show they're watching ''[[Viewers Are Goldfish|during the]] [[Title Sequence]]''. As a result, many children's shows feel the need to repeat the title of the show in the [[Theme Tune]] as many times as possible.

Can easily overlap with the [[Expository Theme Tune]]. Compare [[Title Drop]].

== Anime ==
* While not as common in anime these days (a few still do it), it was more or less a regular thing during the 1960's and 70s', just like it is in America now. In the 70s, some subversions, and even aversions started coming up. That is, while the song may be named after the show, it may not necessarily contain the entire title, or it may omit the title. For example, the song is called "[[Cutey Honey]]", but the closest it comes to containing the title is when it refers to the character "Honey" by name, and also when it incorporates her [[By the Power of Grayskull|transformation phrase]] ("Honey Flash!"). ''[[Captain Harlock]]'' and ''[[Galaxy Express 999]]'' have theme songs named after their respective shows, but do not contain the actual titles of the shows in their lyrics. Instead, they merely describe what they are talking about.
