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:
“Children became an obsessive theme in Victorian culture at the same time that they were being exploited as never before. As the horrors of life multiplied for some children, the image of childhood was increasingly exalted. Children became the last symbols of purity in a world which was seen as increasingly ugly.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“The palsy plagues my pulses”
—Unknown. Tom o’ Bedlam’s Song (l. 37)
