And of course, without the english opening for Digimon, there would be no Digi Rap. I mean [i]come on[/i]. You need to look digideep in your digiheart and digicide what digitheme owns your digisoul for real. ;][/center]

[font="Comic Sans MS"]Alright, I concede that the Digirap was pretty great. It's just that the entire dub's soundtrack was full of pure, concentrated win, and then the theme itself was more or less a basic techno backdrop piece with repetitive lyrics. The fourth season's dub theme was a vast improvement, but it still kind of loses out to the Japanese version just because of how rockin' [i]FIRE![/i] is.
On the subject, though, and because Sangome was kind enough to overload the last post with the pokeymans soundtrack, let's go ahead and take a little trip through exactly what made the Digimon dub OST so amazing.

This was pretty much the battle theme for the first half of season 2, if I recall correctly. It's catchy, it gets you pumped, and you just know something cool is about to happen when you hear it.[/center]

This was what they played when Season 2's cast entered the Digital World. They only ever played a small clip of it during the show, as that was a pretty short sequence, but it was enough to get it stuck in your head and drive your parents up the wall. Then they put the full version in the movie, and all was good.[/center]

I'm actually a bit "meh" on this one. It's not a bad song, it's just that it hardly ever seems to fit the mood of the scene they put it in. It was Season 1's battle theme from about the Tokyo arc onwards, and they killed Myotismon (the first time) with it playing in the background. Like I said, it's not a bad song, but it really would have fit the mood of that scene better if they had used something less upbeat and happy, like "Run Around". That said, it did work pretty well for the finale scene.[/center]

I don't even remember what they used this for in the actual show, but it was in the movie and it's probably one of my favorite songs out of these. It's just a ton of fun and you can tell the artist loved making it. It rocks, but not too hard, and it's extremely catchy.[/center]

This one was done by Less Than Jake, who are an actual band and probably wrote it before the movie was in development, so it doesn't really count as part of the show's soundtrack, but it deserves an honorable mention here for being the absolute best-sounding thing on the movie's album. Go ahead. Sit there and try not to air guitar along. You will fail.[/center]
Linkage on Hey Digimon because apparently I'm only allowed four videos. Bluh.[/font]
