Theme Song
The series' introductory theme song lyrics were written by Marvel Comics' Stan Lee, who also wrote some "Defenders of the Earth" comic-book stories.
"Defenders of the Earth! (Defenders!)
Out of the sky, his rockets ignite, Jets into battle, flying faster than light! Flash Gordon!
Lord of the Jungle, the hero who stalks, The beasts call him brother, the ghost who walks! Phantom!
Defenders of the Earth! (Defenders!)
Master of magical spells and illusion, Enemies crumble in fear and confusion! Mandrake!
Defenders of the Earth! (Defenders!)
His strength is a legend, his skills conquer all, Armed with his power, we never will fall! Lothar!
Defenders of the Earth! (Defenders!)
With our new young heroes proving their worth, Four become eight, defending the Earth!
Defenders of the Earth! (Defenders!) Defenders of the Earth!"

Famous quotes containing the words theme and/or song:
“The saying, “The Magyar is much too lazy to be bored,” is worth thinking about. Only the most subtle and active animals are capable of boredom.—A theme for a great poet would be God’s boredom on the seventh day of creation.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“In almost all climes the tortoise and the frog are among the precursors and heralds of this season, and birds fly with song and glancing plumage, and plants spring and bloom, and winds blow, to correct this slight oscillation of the poles and preserve the equilibrium of nature.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
