It’s hard for me to even imagine this song relatively low on my list. Still, it didn’t really strike me as anything special. I guess it does make sense because the sitcoms that this period of WandaVision is paying homage to didn’t have lyrics as well. But the only reason why I remember it is because they do repeat the same thing during the final few seconds of the song. I don’t mind that it doesn’t have any lyrics to speak of except for saying “WandaVision!” over and over again. My biggest issue is that it does feel repetitive. However, those are pretty much the only good things I can say about the “WandaVision!’ tune. The light jazzy tone is also cool sounding and it reminds me a lot of the I Dream of Jeannie opening ditty. I loved how they totally emulated the Bewitched opening as they used an old-styled animated intro. There are some things I did like, though. I grew up watching old reruns of I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched for some reason, two comedies that featured a woman with magical powers so I really imagined me liking the theme songs as well. I really thought I was going to like WandaVision’s ’60s sitcoms. I would have preferred calling it something like “Hello, My Name is Wanda” since we do see that written down at the very start of the opening. I get the homages it’s trying to pay but there’s just nothing here to make it stand out, making it the worst WandaVision theme song of the bunch.Īlso, the name kinda sucks. The visuals also do not really lend itself to any particular moment to make it stand out for itself. It sounds like an oft-kilter version of The Office theme song. However, “V-W 2000” does lack a memorable hook to make you remember it. There’s even a brief creepy moment where the text reads “I know what u are doing, Wanda” for a split second. Adding the “Created by Wanda Maximoff” at the end is a neat little reference on how creators love to plaster their names on their shows these days. It does mimic the fast paced visual style of using random images, which did feel like a modern sitcom. There are a few nice touches for this intro. If it were, it would definitely be somewhere on the top on the list, though! And, no, as good as “Agatha All Along” is, with its Munsters inspired tone and on-point lyrics, it’s not a WandaVision theme song so it’s not included. My ranking will be based on how the catchy the theme song is, how well the song represents the period as well as the visuals. Also, I will give huge props to Marvel and Disney for trying to mimic not only the style of the songs of the time period but also the visuals as each theme song is accompanied by an eerily accurate opening.īut there were definitely some theme songs that stood out and some that didn’t stand out so much for me. It must have also been incredibly fun composing the various ditties that were supposed to represent the theme songs for each sitcom from different eras. It must have been something for Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, the duo who are no stranger to making catchy songs as they were the couple who wrote the massive hit “Let It Go” from Frozen. So, I decided to strike while the iron is hot and talk about something I really loved about WandaVision: the different theme songs. And I bet there are still a lot of fans reeling from the events that transpired in the show. I just realized that we might not be talking all that much about WandVision for a while, especially with Marvel releasing the first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+ and Zack Snyder’s Justice League on HBO Max this week.
