Theme Song Takeover is a comedy short series featured on the Disney Channel.
The series consists of theme songs to various Disney Channel shows, redone by a supporting character of that series. The lyrics are usually rewritten, some are added, or in one case, the instrumental theme was rearranged. The series started airing on April 19, 2019. There is no usual release time for them as the longest it took between episodes was six months. Each episode is rendered in the original style of that series (except the fourth Big City Greens short through the seventh short and the Doofenshmirtz installment for Milo Murphy's Law, which uses Flash animation) with the main voice cast reprising their roles.

Trivia[]
- So far, DuckTales, Amphibia, Big City Greens, The Ghost and Molly McGee, Hailey's On It!, Kiff, Primos, Phineas and Ferb and The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder are the only series to have more than one theme song takeover, with Big City Greens currently having the most theme song takeovers at 8.
- It should be noted that, since the Big City Greens theme song doesn't have any lyrics (aside from whistling, a countoff, and vocalizations), it's the easiest to parody.
- "Glomgold Theme Song Takeover" would later be reused for the episode "GlomTales!"
- "Shorty Theme Song Takeover" was ironically released shortly after the series finale for Tangled: The Series had already aired.
- So far, "8-bit Theme Song Takeover" is the only short that does not feature alternate lyrics, but instead features a revamped cover of the theme.
- An animatic for "Marcy Theme Song Takeover" was posted during a Q&A Season 3 event with series creator Matt Braly.
- So far, "Kevin Theme Song Takeover" is the only Theme Song Takeover short that isn't being sung by the character taking over the theme song, but rather kept the singer of the original theme (which in this case would be series creator Dan Povenmire).
- So far, "Baby City Greens", "Vasquez Theme Song Takeover", "Remy Theme Song Takeover", and "Andromeda Theme Song Takeover" are the only Big City Greens theme song takeovers that do not use the series' original animation style. Instead, they use the Flash animation from the Random Rings and Broken Karaoke shorts.
- To date so far, The Owl House is the only "modern" (as in, following the time the Theme Song Takeover series launched) show without a theme song takeover. This is reportedly for The Owl House due to Dana Terrace not giving permission due to her disinterest in musicals. However, she did give permission for Chibi Tiny Tales and the series was featured in "Kiff Parodies Disney Channel Theme Songs", albeit briefly and among other themes. Luz and Amity would later be featured in the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Theme Song Takeover.
- Over a decade prior to this series, there were a number of shows in which had the same structure, these shows are:
- The Dave the Barbarian episode "A Pig's Story" featured The Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy singing his own version of the show's theme song.
- The Recess episode "Lawson and his Crew" had its own version of the theme song featuring Lawson's gang replacing T.J.'s gang.
- The Emperor's New School had an episode titled "Guaka Rules" in which Guaka sung his own version of the theme, which was a over a decade prior.
- The American Dragon: Jake Long episode "Being Human" has Haley Long imagine her own version of the theme after Jake bribes Haley into pulling a prank on the Dragon Council to get a week off.
- The Wander Over Yonder episode "The Fremergency Fronfract" had Lord Hater (who is loopy from a dental procedure) reminging a re-make of the intro that includes Wander and Sylvia. This is interrupted when Hater stares up in shock and dismay when he sees the Skullship.
- The Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! episode "A Man Called Krinkle" has Gyrus Krinkle (dressed as Chiro) reenact the beginning narration from the show's intro.
- In "Kiff Parodies Disney Channel Theme Songs" among the shows parodied include Phineas and Ferb, Big City Greens, Kim Possible, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Hamster and Gretel, Gravity Falls, DuckTales, and The Owl House. Near the ending, The Ghost and Molly McGee, Wander Over Yonder, Gargoyles, American Dragon: Jake Long, Darkwing Duck, Hannah Montana, Zombies, Descendants, and Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil are referenced. Barry also parodies the intro for Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers at the end.
- Despite having their own theme song takeovers, "Kiff Parodies Disney Channel Theme Songs" did not parody Milo Murphy's Law, Tangled: The Series, Hailey's On It!, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.
- Hailey became the first lead character to take over their own theme song, with the second being Kiff.
- At the first Primos theme song takeover, the logo was different.
- Doofenshmirtz is the first character to take over more than one theme song being Milo Murphy's Law, Kiff, and Phineas and Ferb.
- Additionally, Doofenshmirtz is the first character to take over more than one theme song of a show he did not originate from with the second being Kiff Chatterley.
- In 2018, Disney XD had an event for April Fools day where Stan Pines sung the theme songs for Phineas and Ferb and Star vs. the Forces of Evil, this would pre-exist Theme Song Takeover as it would come out a year later.
- The Hailey's On It! theme song takeovers uses a longer version of the theme song rather than the broadcast version.
- Other than Baby City Greens, Dr. Doofenshmirtz Theme Song Takeover marks the first time the Theme Song Takeover logo isn't used in the the thumbnail. However this could likely change.
- The Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur theme song takeover is the first Marvel show to be the subject of an episode.
- The Grandpa Nick Theme Song Takeover uses a different logo made out of junk compared to the official logo, it also uses a different instrumental.
- Candace's Theme Song Takeover was the first short in the series to star a Dwampyverse character not voiced by Dan Povenmire.
- The Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Theme Song Takeover makes this the first short to feature a live action series.
- This also counts as the first short to feature a CGI character, which features Dae from Zombies: The Re-Animated Series.
Errors[]
- In "Dr. Doofenshmirtz takes over Kiff!" one of the characters that that turned into Doof was still themselves for a quick second after getting blasted.
