Danny Phantom is an American animated series created by Butch Hartman that aired on Nickelodeon from 2004 to 2007. Its opening theme introduced viewers each week to Danny Fenton, a teenager who gains ghost powers after an accident in his parents' laboratory. The show built a loyal audience during its original run and found a second life through reruns, streaming and online fan communities. Today the theme remains a shorthand for mid-2000s Nickelodeon nostalgia, especially in edits that celebrate the show's ghost-hunting action and humour.
