Detention Theme Song Lyrics

When we got into this preteen haze Our parents told us it was just a phase uh huh Mom and Dad hate to burst your bubble As long as we’re in school we’re gonna get in trouble It doesn’t matter what we do or say Cause the teachers always get their way When we try to sit and pay attention We always lose control and wind up in Detention Detention uh oh We’re running in the halls now We’re writing on the walls now Detention uh oh We follow regulation At least until our graduation detention

Official Opening Theme

Behind the Lyrics: Comedic Chaos

The Detention theme song is the perfect anthem for preteen rebellion and classroom comedy! Created by Bob Doucette and brought to life on Kids’ WB, the song sets the stage for a group of eight middle-schoolers who can’t seem to stay out of trouble. With its upbeat tempo and catchy chorus, it feels like a lively overture for the teenage tribulations that follow.

The show featured a star-studded voice cast including Tara Strong and the Mowry twins (Tia and Tamera), who made every detention session feel like a party. Behind the music, composers Steve Rucker and Thomas Chase worked together to create these toe-tapping tunes that captured the energy of running through the halls and writing on the walls.

Produced by Jean MacCurdy, the series ran for one season of 13 episodes. Despite its short run, the theme song remains a nostalgic favorite for anyone who remembers the “preteen haze” of Saturday morning cartoons!
