This intro alone is better then the live action movie

This show was actually animated in Japan by the same company behind Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball. I find that fascinating.

The quality of this video is outrageous.

They used to put in WORK on these opening themes back in the day...this is so dope

seriously not even netflix has this quality

Jem is a prime and perfect example of product positioning. On paper it's a MTV inspired barbie alternative. In reality it is a beloved 80's cartoon many young boys watched right along Transformers and Inhumanoids.

0:07 WTF! The show hasn’t even started and they all just die in a car crash?

The Misfits rolling in mid-way through is like being hit in the face by a swarm of wasps. Absolute gold. ❤

I’m 17 (born in 2004) and I know this show was way before my time but it’s still my favorite. I used to watch it when I was getting ready for school at 6 every morning when it’s used to come on while I was like 9 or 10 years old. I literally fell in love with it!!!😍😍😍 Still in love with this show and the songs to this day!!!❤️❤️❤️

I literally used to run home from school to catch this show! It was a 15 minute walk. But school was out at 3:20 and this was on at 3:30. Unashamed fan of it 💗

that quality was off the hook!!!

I wasn't born in the 80s but my mom was so when I was little she let me watch some 80s shows like he-man, she-ra, and jem and the holograms and I absolutely got addicted to them so whenever I here their theme songs it's so to me nostalgia

I miss the 80's😖

Lyrics Jem Jem is excitement. Ooooh Jem. Jem is adventure. Oooooh Glamour and glitter. Fashion and fame. Jem! Jem is truly outrageous. Truly, truly, truly outrageous. Woooahh Jem! Jem! The music's contagious. Outrageous. Jem is my name, no one else is the same. Jem is my name! But we're the Misfits. Our songs are better. We are the Misfits. The Misfits. And we're gonna get her! Jem! Jem! The music's contagious. Outrageous. Jem is my name, no one else is the same. Jem is my name! Jem!

my mom got me hooked on this show...

The Misfits music would have done much better in the 1990s, when grunge and anger songs were more popular. All started by Nirvana.

This is MIND BLOWING!!! The quality and density of the sound!!! WHAT A JEM YOU GOT IN YOUR COLLECTION! (yes, pun absolutely intended!)

One of the best shows from my childhood. I will always love this show.

The quality is outstanding.

How much they ruined the Jem movie is truly truly outrageous. They could've made it something great, but they made it terrible.

Appearently the audition tape for Jems singing voice was so good it became the opening with no rerecording.

This was Britta Phillips AUDITION. She nailed so hard they made it the theme song!

I showed my children this cartoon because my youger son was fascinated with the cartoons i grew up watching. After a few minutes into the very first episode after Jerrica transformed into Jem he asked me why they had big hair. I explained to him that big hair was popular in the 80s. I miss that decade and was so lucky to be born during that time.

The detail in this is amazing ..... Everything from the fringe on Jem's belt to the hair movement and direction . The fluidity of movement is spectacular . The beat is mesmerizing .

I just listen to this for 3 hours on loop. It hurts, man. It hurts. The past was so good..

0:27 The Misfits part is the most played part. They didn't lie when they said their songs were better lol

now this is jem not that bullshit movie

You know a show is good when a guy wants to watch the show

WOW. This is the finest quality of the opening I've ever seen or heard. How did you get this?

It’s been seven years of me watching this. I’ve watched hem since I was five. Now I’m twelve and still watch jem!

The bassline in this theme is freaking nuts. One of my favorite openings ever. Done great justice! Also, at :31 I love how Jem is like "beeyatches please" and knocks them out of the song. lol.

I'm young and I have to thank my parents for showing me old shows like this.......

Wow.. my childhood just flashed by watching this amazing intro.. Jem was really outrageous.. loved it then and still love it now!, specially because of the angel singing.. Britta Phillips!!

Truly, truly, truly one of the greatest intros ever!

THE SOUND CLARITY IS "OUTRAGEOUS!!!" =)

You'll never see a show again that put so much work into the Wardrobe ever

It's 2023 and I STILL find her truly outrageous❤❤❤❤❤

The great legacy of Britta Phillips, pop star of the 80s JEM forever

who here from EKT?

Who's reliving the 80s by researching this Classic in 2019?

That Misfits break SLAPS!!!!

OMG This cartoon takes me waaaay back to my childhood days pretending to be Jem because we have the same name, hah!! Touching my earring and changing outfits haha!! Havent seen the movie yet, i hear it suxx, but i need to see it for myself. Someone needs to do remakes or remixes of the songs!! SHOWTIME SYNERGY!! XD

I'm only 11, but my father would have me and my brother watch shows from the 80's and we talked about games. He also owns comics and he's an all around cool guy. Hes 41. I remember watching this, the ledgend of zelda, and the Mario Bros. show. I miss you dad. I wish I could see you more often.

Reminds me of my childhood...makes me want to cry. Catoons were so good...Jem...Transformers...GI joe...being a kid in the 80s was the best!!!

Transformers, G.I. Joe & Jem are some of the coolest cartoons of the late 80's I use to watch all 3 of them on Chicago's Very Own WGN and later on The Hub

That's a commercial theme, it was included on the Glitter and Gold doll cassettes. There are only two theme songs, this and the "Jem Girls" song used in later episodes.

I grew up on this even if I’m young. This was my fav show ever as a kid. Might just go find it and watch it 😂 We love Jem! ❤

Everything I needed to know about being a girl, I learned from this queen . 1. Smearing pink eyeshadow over half your face is a total look 2 Don't let anyone, especially the Misfits, steal your spotlight 3. You can be anything you want in life, as long as you're truly truly outrageous!! Happy birthday to MEEEEE!!!!🎉🎉🎉

Anyone come here from Everyone knows that (ulterior motives)?

I'm so greatful my mom showed me this show as a little girl AwA been my favorite show from child to adult

I’m 11 right now in 2019 and I grew up watching this show when I was like 3 I love this show man, memories. I used to be so excited when this should would air on tv.

okay. I'm here because some studio decided to make Jem and The Holograms into a live action film. Saw the trailer and was totally disappointed. I was looking for the action and the effects that I remember from the show and just had to look for it to make sure that it wasn't my memory that was faulty. This live action is a travesty to the awesome show and sounds of Jem.

someone please make a soundtrack for this! I don't care if it's fanmade or not I want it to happen!!!

Soo nostaligic lol miss the old times

my mom introduced this to me when I was growing up since she loved the tv show while she was in her teens and now it’s one of my favorites too

I watched this with my mom. Looking back now I probably would LOVe this a lot more now.

When I was a kid in the early 2000s, my family used to rent VHS's from a shop 20 minutes away from our house, and my younger sister got our parents to rent jem and the holograms for her. She would replay this intro over and over again because it was well animated and the theme song was so catchy.

i’m watching this while crying i miss this show

Anyone after April 3rd is here because of EKT. We're counting all the sheeps in Sky 🔈🗣️🔥

the artists had fun with this show

I started watching this when I was 12 and now I’m 16. This show will never get old

I look back and it just feels weird to me now being a young black boy back then and religiously watching this cartoon every saturday morning, I think my stepfather thought i was gay, lol

Omg sugar cereal and Saturday morning cartoons was the life!It's a shame these shows are no longer part of today's kids Saturday morning life lol 😂

this song is so catchy

Man I use to fight with my sisters over the TV, this use to come on the same time as Voltron back in the day..hated Jem back then, but it makes me smile now thinking about my sisters and how life has come a long way. Thank you

When I use to watch this show on Netflix, I always thought how beautiful, smoothly and lifelike the animation for the intro was. Then on my animation course it was a prime example of rotoscoping. Which is a lot used in the 80’s but it’s one of my favourite ways to animate so this was very inspirational to me.

Man they really used too put a lot of work on there theme songs

The sad thing is, if this series were ever published on Blu-ray, it actually wouldn't look as good as this, because it would almost surely be taken from the same source as the Shout Factory complete boxed set, which are the TV masters. But the earlier Rhino set (which I believe is the source of the video element here) was far superior, because it was taken from the actual original negatives, so the colours are much richer, the lines much sharper, etc. Now, a Blu-ray of the Rhino set would be, well, truly outrageous -- and unsurpassable in quality. But it likely won't ever happen, since Shout apparently now has the rights and, as mentioned above, they're using the TV masters that are one generation removed from the negatives, resulting in the drop in visual quality from what we see here.

PLEASE TELL ME THE TRUUUUUUUUTH!!!

This show was the reason I love 80’s music 💖

all these years ive never realized you can hear the count before the song starts

my mom made me watch this when i was little and she thought i would hate it cause it wasn't one of the "new" more entertaining shows but instead i fell in love with it

Best fact about this? This first take was so good, that the team didn’t want to part with Britta so they kept her as the singing voice for Jem after this theme (Samantha Newark was supposed to be both the singing and non-singing voice).

Nostalgia Overload💖💖💖

I remember watching Jem with my mother every morning from 7 to 7:30 and then I would go to my school that I was new to at the time. Ahh good times. :3

Me and my mom luv this show. She watched it when she was a kid.💗

-> I can imagine this remaster with updated animation (it would be perfect as a Josei-style anime)! Everything would be untouched (OST, voice-overs, etc.) except the animation. -> If I had the money I would fund it!

Just gotta ask who let them COOK ?? In all seriousness though this is easily one of the greatest cartoon theme songs of all time

I heard this opening again for the first time after almost 14 years, about 3 - 4 months ago. Seriously, after almost all those years where part of this opening was weighing on the back of my head, I finally found it. What a blast from the past and on top of that, a huge wave of nostalgia splashing me.

I don't know how many times I've watched this video, it's so addictive. Definitely this opening is truly truly truly outrageous!

Jem (Jem is excitement) Ooh, Jem (Jem is adventure) Ooh (glamour and glitter, fashion and fame) Jem (Jem is truly outrageous, truly, truly, truly outrageous) Whoa, Jem (Jem), the music's contagious (outrageous) Jem is my name, no one else is the same Jem is my name But we're The Misfits Our songs are better We are The Misfits, The Misfits And we're gonna get her Jem (Jem), the music's contagious (outrageous) Jem is my name, no one else is the same Jem is my name (Jem)

Coming back to my childhood shows again! :) it’s now 2023. I watch this back in 2014 😻! I actually had the DVDS from the 80’s ahhhh

Would watch this sat mornings as akid 7- 8 i think..the animation itself was ahead of its time..had a early 2000's feel to it... Im 39 now..80'sbabyrule

FUN FACT: Jem was animated not by an American animation studio but by legendary Japanese anime studio Toei Animation who are famous for Dragon Ball, One Piece, Sailor Moon & countless other famous Anime. Toei Animation is the Anime branch of its famous parent company Toei Company who are Japan's biggest filmmaking & TV producing conglomerate responsible for the Godzilla franchise, Super Sentei (aka Power Rangers) & also produced many of legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa's movies.

My God, this brings me all the way back to that 4 year old girl who pretended she was Jem all afternoon in her bedroom. I don't know how many times I sang this song as a kid. :-))

What happened to all of the comments??

I used to watch Jem and Centurions before my elementary school bus picked me up in the mornings; I will never stop saying how much I miss the 80s.

Very nice clear recording.

This IS music. I have goose bumps and am about to cry. No joke.

Honestly this is so iconic i just cant 😍 My moms friend got me star earrings just like Jem has and I got childhood flashbacks omg

I am from the 2000 and I love jem

after listening to the three different section tracks, you kind of get a new appreciation for the full thing. (Although I didn't realize how little lyrics Britta had outside of "Jem" and "ooh".)

Jem was one of the first cartoons to adapt the Japanese “Pretty fighting magical girls” anime concept.

Man this show was awesome back in the day.

This intro is so awesome especially the misfits part "But we're the Misfits our songs are better we are the Misfits the misfits and we're gonna get her! Amazing song

I wasn’t even born in the 90s and this was still my childhood It was like all I watched in 6th grade

This was *the* girliest show I watched as a child, and I’m proud of myself

Miss the 80’s cartoons. Great intro music!!

Before we had cable,my dad would go to the library and check out DVD's for us to watch. And of course most of them were cartoons that came out when he was either a kid or a teenager. This came out when he was a teenager,and he's 48,and I'll admit,this was a pretty good show.

Why does this still hit after so many years? I miss the show already and want to watch to it. I want old memories back.
