** The lyrics of ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' are from the point of view of the cockroaches, who praise themselves and are obviously against Oggy (referred to as just "the cat" in the lyrics).

** The lyrics of ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' are from the point of view of the cockroaches, who praise themselves and are obviously against Oggy (referred to as just "the cat" in the lyrics). The Italian version also removed the name Oggy from the title initially, though later seasons and other reruns added it back.
* NonAppearingTitle: A strange case with the theme song of the ''Manga/DoctorSlump'' remake, and later, the redub of the original anime. For the sake of GratuitousEnglish, the anime is renamed in Italy, ''What a Mess Slump and Arale'' (though most Italians ignore this title and refer to the franchise as just "Arale", which is not the real title either). However, the lyrics of the theme song don't feature the line "what a mess" at all.

* TheHeroSucksSong: Most of his theme songs are {{Bragging Theme Tune}}s, but if the anime/cartoon is more comical, you can expect the lyrics making fun of the main character. An obvious example is his theme song of ''Manga/SgtFrog'' where the lyrics make it very clear that Keroro is incompetent.

Giorgio Vanni is an Italian songwriter and guitarist. Along with Music/CristinaDAvena, he is well-known for performing many [[AlternativeForeignThemeSong alternative theme songs]] in the Italian dubs of animated series, especially anime, for Mediaset channels.

He gained prominence in 1999, after he wrote and performed the theme songs of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' (first season) and ''Manga/DragonBall'' (a redub of the original series). Both theme songs, along with their respective anime, became immensely popular with the Italian audience. In the following years, he also wrote and sung other theme songs for the sequels of both franchises, with his opening of ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' becoming his ultimate signature song, and one of the most popular Italian openings in general.

Between 2000 and 2008, he and fellow musician Max Longhi wrote over 50 theme songs for animated series on Mediaset, sometimes sung by Giorgio himself (''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'', ''Manga/CaseClosed'', ''Anime/YuGiOh''), sometimes sung by Cristina D'Avena (''Anime/{{Hamtaro}}'', ''Anime/OjamajoDoremi''), sometimes by both of them together (''Manga/OnePiece'').

!!His works provide examples of:
* AlternativeForeignThemeSong: He wrote and sung many alternative Italian theme songs for animated series in the 2000s.
* BraggingThemeTune: If the anime is a FightingSeries, you can expect Giorgio Vanni's lyrics being about invincible and heroic protagonists living epic adventures.
* {{Europop}}: While the songs Cristina D'Avena has been singing since the 80s were usually just pop, Giorgio Vanni's songs leaned mored towards Eurodance.
* ExpositoryThemeTune: The lyrics of his theme songs usually describe the main charcater(s) or the premise of the show.
* GratuitousEnglish: He just loves to insert random English lines in the Italian theme songs (''Dragon Ball, bursting through the clouds! Dragon Ball, fighting on the ground!'') , usually unintelligible for Italian kids.
* TheHeroSucksSong: Most of his theme songs are {{Bragging Theme Tune}}s, but if the anime/cartoon is more comical, you can expect the lyrics making fun of the main character. An obvious example is his theme song of ''Manga/SgtFrog'' where the lyrics make it very clear that Keroro is imcompetent.
*SingerSongwriter: He writes, composes, and performs his own theme songs.
* SofterAndSlowerCover: He included in his album - as well as in his [[SeriousBusiness concert]] where the cover was first heard - "Giorgio Vanni Project" this kind of cover of another song of his, "What's[[note]](Sung as "What is", but written as "What's". Spelt as such for the sake of it, apparently.)[[/note]] my destiny Dragon Ball" (opening/ending song for ''Dragon Ball Z'', as the earlier ''Manga/DragonBall'' anime had another theme song, still sung by him). The long time that's passed between the original, dance-y version of the song and the way more somber version of it made the cover quite sad.
* SpearCounterpart: Cristina D'Avena has been the queen of Italian theme songs since the 80s (in fact the 80s are consided by many Cristina's golden era) but since 1998/99, she got a male counterpart in Giorgio Vanni. From that point on, Giorgio started singing theme songs for anime aimed at boys, while Cristina's songs were more targeted towards girls or children. Occasionally, they joined their forces and sang a duet for the same series.
* TitleThemeTune: As a rule, his theme songs repeat several times the show's title in the chorus.
* TruncatedThemeTune: For years, the Italian openings had a length of about 2 minutes when airing on TV. Around 2003, the standard format became 1 minute, and many 2-minute theme songs were abruptly shortened to fit the new format.
