The Primos Main Title Theme, or commonly referred to as "Oye Primos", stylized as "¡Oye! ¡Primos!, is the opening theme to the Disney Channel animated series Primos. The song sets up the basic premise of the show from Tater's perspective and how she ended up having to share her house with her cousins. It was written by Alana Da Fonseca, Bobby Studley, and Natasha Kline.
The exclamation "Oye" is the Spanish equivalent of "Hey!," meaning in English "Hey Cousins!"
Lyrics[]
Tater: Hey! Another day in my old 'hood!
Summer's startin', and it's gonna be so good!
Hey, oh hey!
I was gonna be so cool
Then you all moved in and got me looking like a fool...again
Everyone: ¡Oye! ¡Primos!
Tater: Why you all up in my face?
Everyone: ¡Oye! ¡Primos!
Tater: Get up out my space!
Everyone: ¡Oye! ¡Primos!
Tater: You're wearin' out my brain
You're drivin' me insane
Not the roll call again!
Cousin Bud, Nacho and Lita
Tere, Tabi and Toñita
Scooter, LotLot and Gordita
Nachito, ChaCha, and Lucita
Everyone: Yay!
Tater:
No! Come on!
Everyone: ¡Oye! ¡Primos!
Tater: Ugh...
T-Sisters: Slay! The T-Sisters are here!
Summer’s startin' and we’re fillin' it with cheer!
Slay, oh, slay! This will be one for the books
'Cause y’know this trio's 'bout to serve up fuego looks!
The T-Sisters!
Yeah we got that special sauce!
We're great listeners!
So we always know hot goss!
The T-Sisters!
Now let’s get into the zone
Bringing inspiración
With each transformación
Pyramid and diamond too
There’s no shape that we can't do
Carousel, a single tower,
Heart and star and blooming flower!
Puppy dog and dinosaur!
Promise just a couple more!
Question mark, inverted V,
And of course our favorite T
Tater: Wow. That looks insanely difficult.
Tere: I mean, for others, yes. But not when you are...
T-Sisters: The T-Sisters!
We’re taking the world by storm!
Like three twisters!
Tabi: We'll help you find your final form!
T-Sisters: The T-Sisters!
We’re so pretty and trendy!
Also humble as can be!
We’ve got perfect harmony—eeeeee—eeeee—
Tater: Is this gonna keep going? Or...
T-Sisters: The T-Sisters!
LotLot:
Hey, I'm here to scare you all
With a show so cursed your skin is gonna crawl
Lots of ghosts
And also lots of blood
Oh, no, look a zombie baby's eating Cousin Bud
Boo! It's LotLot!
My show will make you shriek
Fear the onslaught
Of goblins, ghouls, and freaks
Boo! It's LotLot!
I'm giving you a scare
So tune in if you dare
Let's meet the whole ensemble
Gordita will have you screaming
Cha Cha's possessed by a demon
Nacho is a masked intruder
Watch your neck, it's vampire Scooter
Cut! Cut, can we please get more blood on vampire scooter?
Nachito: Sorry, Lot Lot, we ran out of blood oranges.
LotLot: We'll just have to use my backup bucket.
Tater: That's also from blood oranges, right?
LotLot: Maybe.
Boo! It's LotLot!
The most spooky girl in town
Got a soft spot
For creepy evil clowns
Boo! It's LotLot!
I'm filling you with dread
It's the raising of the dead
Don't you look under the bed
Boo! It's LotLot!

Trivia[]
- The phrase "¡Oye primos!" is grammatically incorrect, as "oye" is not a direct translation of the English "hey", but rather the singular imperative form of the verb "oír" (to hear), while "primos" is a plural word, meaning the plural imperative form needs to be used, which is "oigan", therefore the correct grammar would be "¡Oigan primos!" Using the verb "oír" as a greeting (similar, yet not equal to "hey") and as a means of getting the other person's attention is common and variations like "oiga", "oíd" (mostly used in Spain), "óyeme", "oigamos", are common too, but the verb needs to always be appropriately conjugated.
- In Hispanic/Mexican-American dialect, "¡Oye primos!" is often used as an informal (described pejoratively by non-Americans as a "Pocho") term, presumably because "oye" is viewed as a direct translation of "hey" and the context as a conjugation of "oír" got lost. Creator Natasha Kline grew up as a mixed Southern/Mexican-American member of an LA Latino community, explaining why the term is used, despite grammatical inaccuracy.
- The intro became controversial to the point that it was removed from X (formerly known as Twitter) and Facebook. It was still available to view on YouTube, but was later privatized. Disney Channel ultimately uploaded the new reedited version.
- While the primos dance in Tater's room, they mimic the iconic dance moves performed in A Charlie Brown Christmas.
- At the Primos theme song takeover, the logo was different.
