I Am Weasel Theme Song Lyrics

Behind the Lyrics: Meaning & Story
The I Am Weasel theme song serves as the musical anthem for a world defined by wit and absurdity. Originally a segment of Cow and Chicken before becoming its own standalone series, the show highlights the rivalry between the hyper-intelligent, multi-talented Weasel and his envious, dim-witted counterpart, I.R. Baboon.
The musical magic is a collaboration between Bill Fulton, who crafted the infectious melody, and Richard Pursel, who penned the amusing lyrics. Performed by April March, the song acts as a declaration of Weasel’s effortless charm, while the lyrics—specifically “I.R. Baboon reigns king in his mind”—humorously point out Baboon’s delusional self-importance.
Airing on Cartoon Network from 1997 to 2000, the series became a classic of the era. Fulton’s playful notes even come full circle, with the same melody used for the instrumental ending theme, leaving viewers with the same quirky energy that greeted them at the start of each episode.
