Duck Dodgers Theme Song Lyrics
Frozen in a time and space divide
But how would the universe survive
Duck Dodgers of the 24th and one half century
Defending the powerless and the weak
Duck Dodgers is fighting tyranny
In the 24th and one half century
Behind the Lyrics: About Duck Dodgers
The Duck Dodgers theme song is a high-energy collaboration between the legendary Tom Jones and the psychedelic rock band The Flaming Lips. Composed by Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd, the song pays homage to the classic James Bond-style openings, perfectly matching the space-faring heroics of Daffy Duck’s futuristic alter ego.
The series is based on the 1953 classic animated short by Chuck Jones and features a stellar voice cast including Joe Alaskey and Bob Bergen. Over its three-season run on Cartoon Network and Kids’ WB, the show blended humorous science fiction with the timeless wit of the Looney Tunes universe, all anchored by this iconic, brassy theme.
