Note that almost every western animated series does this. However, if you're looking for specific examples, read on...

• 2 Stupid Dogs! 2 Stupid Dogs! 2 Stupid Dogs!
• Let's sing a little song with eight little words / 'Bout a rocket ship and flightless birds - Zidgel! Midgel! Fidgel! Kevin! / 3-2-1 Penguins!
• "3rd! 3rd & Bird! Where the birdies meet just above the street to sing tweedle-ee-deet!"

• Angelina Ballerina / The little star of big dreams! / Angelina Ballerina
• The Angry Beavers: "A-A-An-gry beavers!"

• "We're Animaniacs! We have pay-for-play contracts! We're zany to the max, there's baloney in our slacks! We're Ani-maney! Totally insaney! (Here's the show's namey!) Animaniacs! Those are the facts!"
  • As segments of the Animated Anthology, Pinky and the Brain got their own title theme, as did Slappy Squirrel, Rita and Runt, the Goodfeathers, the Hip Hippos, Katie Ka-Boom, and Chicken Boo. The Pinky and the Brain theme was revised for the spinoff.
  • This is also done in the reboot.
• Animal Mechanicals… we Animal Mechanical can!
• Apple & Onion
• "Everything's Archie!"
  • "What's that sound? Archie's Weird Mysteries!"
• Subverted with Alvin and the Chipmunks, which had the refrain of "We're the Chipmunks" and mentioned Alvin in the Theme Tune Roll Call, but did not use the show's full title verbatim. Became a more straight example in season 6 when the title changed to just The Chipmunks.
  • It goes back even further on the original 1961 series ("This is 'The Alvin Show, the Alvin Show...you're positively gonna love the Alvin Show...").
• When you're up in outer space and searching for the greatest place where everyone's a friendly face, Astroblast!!
• "Atomic Betty, I'm a fighting girl! Atomic Betty, Gonna rock your world..." Also qualifies as a "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune, as the song is performed by Betty's voice actor, Tajja Isen.

• The theme song for Bubble Guppies is literally the title being repeated over and over.
• The theme song to the Bubsy animated pilot episode featured the title character's name sung throughout it. However, it's not as repetitive as some of the other examples given. Also, the character's catchphrase "What could possibly go wrong?" is spoken toward the beginning of the theme.
• "BUCKY! Captain Bucky O' Hare! He goes where no ordinary rabbit would dare!"
• "B-U-N, S-E-N! Bunsen Is a Beast!"
• Butterbean's, Butterbean's, Butterbean's Cafe!
• "Caillou — which is sung by the character too. "Growing up is not so tough, 'cept when I've had enough — I'm Caillou. Caillou! Caillou! I'm Caillou! That's me!"
• Camp Lakebottom, where the zombies drool!
• "Care Bears & Cousins, collecting hearts by the dozens..."
• "Helping others care and share, it's magic... Care Bears! Unlock the magic."

• "And so I found a place, where everyone will know, my happy mustached face, this is The Cleveland Show!''
• "Clifford's so much fun, he's a friend to us all! I love Clifford the Big Red Dog! (woof!)"
  • The theme to the 2019 series does this too. "Singing hey! It's a big red day! Nothing in our way, so come and play with Clifford the Big Red Dog..."
• "Code Lyoko, tout reprogrammer, Code Lyoko, un monde sans danger..." And that's just the original French version. There are other versions for English, Spanish, Welsh, Portugese, Hebrew, Chinese, and a few more after them!
• "Combo, Combo Niños; Combo Vamos; Combo, Combo Niños; Vamos!"
• Corn & Peg! Doing good feels good! Corn & Peg, we're besties all the way...

• "Darkwing Duck, when there's trouble, you call DW! Darkwing Duck! Let's Get Dangerous!"

• "Dave the Barbarian / Huge, but a wimp! / His sisters Fang and Candy / Are a princess and a chimp (I'm not a monkey!)..."
• "Deer Squad, friendship’s calling! Deer Squad, heroes in training! Deer Squad, straight to the rescue! Planet Power, save the day!"
• Defenders of the Earth: The theme song has five verses, the first four of which describe Flash, the Phantom, Mandrake and Lothar, in that order, while the fifth is about Rick, LJ, Jedda and Kshin. Each verse is punctuated by the words "Defenders of the Earth! Defenders!"
• "Denver the Last Dinosaur! He's my friend and a whole lot more!"

• At the Dino Dino at the Dino Ranch!
• "I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, in the Dino Squad!"
• "Donkey Kong! Hey-o, look out down below Here he comes, banana slamma!"
• Dora the Explorer, which is known for repetition, features the character's name well over a dozen times. That doesn't stop it, though, from possibly being the best aspect of the show. This is one of the ones that incorporates a catchphrase: "Swiper, No Swiping!!"
  • "Vienen, Diego! (Diego!) Diego! Go, Diego, Go!"
  • "D-O-R-A! Dora and Friends: Into the City!"

  • Aladdin: The Series is also an exception, using the opening song "Arabian Nights" from the movie.
• "Earthworm Jim, we think he's mighty fine! Earthworm Jim; a hero for all time!"
• Ed, Edd n Eddy has the titular trio shouting out the title at the beginning and end as the theme whistle plays in the middle of the intro.
• "Elena, Elena of Avalor!"
• Elinor Wonders Why has the title performed several times throughout. Notably, though it's a "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune, the title is the only portion that isn't performed by Elinor herself.

• "George, George, George of the Jungle! / Friend to you and me! (AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!) / Watch Out for That Tree!" This is true for the original cartoon, both movies (see above), and the 2008 revival's Theme Tune Rap.

• If you're a kid with powers, then where's the place to be? You belong at Hero Elementary!
• Hey Arnold!'s theme has Helga repeatedly yelling at Arnold, not getting his attention until the end, and mostly just saying "Hey Arnold!"
  • Also played straight for the show's original unused theme.
  "Hey, Arnold! Push button whiz, won't you please tell me what your last name is?"

• If you listen closely in the theme for Hilda, you hear the vocalist, Grimes, echoing Hilda's name.
  Grimes: (As the titular blue-haired girl jumps in the sky) Hilda...
  • As part of Season 2, slated to stream on Netflix this December, Bella Ramsey, the voice of Hilda, wrote and performed a song called "The Life of Hilda" which is a fun combination of a "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune and a "I Am" Song which talks about Hilda's everyday life. While the song is released on Youtube on November 25th, the song will also be featured during the credits of a Season 2 episode. Bonus points for it being sung in her character's voice!
  Bella Ramsey (In Hilda's Voice): My name is Hilda and I don't learn from my mistakes / But I will do my best no matter what it takes... This is is the life / The life of Hilda.
• Lampshaded in Histeria! because there are many theme songs that are randomly rotated in each episode.

• Huntik! Keep the faith and you'll surviiiiive...
• Hurray for Huckle, a mystery-solving series featuring Richard Scarry's BusyTown characters features the series names a couple of times in the theme tune. For the U.S. broadcasts, the series was retitled as BusyTown Mysteries — it still sort of works, as the lyrics include "We're gonna solve a BusyTown mystery," but not quite.
• If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, then he'll ask for a glass of milk... And then one thing will lead to another, and you never know what's next!
• The Inspector Gadget theme song has for sole lyrics "Inspector Gadget" and "Go, Gadget Go!" The French version, on the other hand, has a full song, though it still falls in this trope.
• "I- am- Iron Man! I- am- Iron Man!"
• "It's Pony, Pony, Pony Pony, Pony, Pony It's Pony!"
• "5, 6, 7, 8, exploring Earth is really great! Jack is back!"

• “Jay Jay the Jet Plane”. That’s me!
• "Jem, Truly Outrageous."
  • Actually, every Sunbow/Marvel series based on a Hasbro toyline used the same theme song heard in the toy commercials. In the case of Jem though, that was just for the first two seasons (i.e., the "Super Sunday" episodes, plus the first season of the regular series). Afterwords, a different theme song was used ("Me and my friends are Jem girls...").
• "This is the theme song for, Jimmy Neutron."
  • "It all makes perfect sense on... Planet Sheen!"

• "Kid versus, Kat versus, Kid versus, Kat versus, KID VERSUS KAT!"
• The theme song of Kiff consists of the titular character's name being chanted throughout.
• Kim Possible; contains two of the series' catchphrases in addition to the title — this one barely counts in that it's a full-fledged song with, like, lyrics and everything that do more than vaguely describe the recurring plot. Also qualifies as a "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune, as the voice of Kim, Christy Carlson Romano, performs the song.
• "They call him Kipper, Kipper the dog. The dog with the slipper, that's Kipper, Kipper the dog..."
• But even though that Kitty is living in a house full of cats... Kitty Is Not a Cat! (Meow!)

• All around the wor-or-orld, Let's Go Luna! Let's go!
• "Lilly The Witch! She's casting spells and weaving magic! Lilly the Witch, travelling back in time..."
  • In the UK the show's title was changed to just "Lilly", and the song was redubbed as a result. "A girl called Lilly! She's casting spells and weaving magic, just a girl called Lilly... / Moving through time, that's Lilly!"
• "The Lingo Show! The Lingo Show! You'll learn new words you want to know!"
• The theme song to Little Bill has various characters saying the title as the protagonist gets ready for his day.
• "We're going on a trip in our favorite rocket ship, zoomin' through the sky, Little Einsteins! Climb aboard, get ready to explore, there's so much to find, Little Einsteins!"
• The Littles: In the first season, the theme began with "We are the Littles" and ended with "You can't stop the Littles 'cause The Littles don't stop". In season 2, the first line evolved into a Title Drop for The Movie: "Here come the Littles!". In season 3, the last line changed to "Here come the Littles, so you better watch out!".
• Little Lulu, Little Lulu, with freckles on your chin. Always in and out of trouble, but mostly always in.

M-Z

• "Cause' when you're living in a place, that has every single race, you simply got to face... it's Mixed Nutz, Mixed Nutz! Mixed Nutz! (I just wanted to fit in.)"
