DuckTales premiered as a Disney animated series in 1987, adapted from Carl Barks' Uncle Scrooge comics, following Scrooge McDuck and his grandnephews in Duckburg. Its theme song, written by Mark Mueller and performed by Jeff Pescetto, became one of the most famous cartoon themes ever, known for the earworm woo-oo refrain. The show returned with a reboot in 2017, introducing the song to a new generation. Online, the theme endures in remixes, covers, nostalgic edits and memes celebrating adventure, wealth and childhood cartoons.
