Darkwing Duck International Theme Review

[mrcentipede]

I've been listening to the theme song to Darkwing Duck in various languages, and I have come to the conclusion that the German one is the best. The Dutch one is pretty wretched, I just don't feel it, also the lyrics have too many syllables to flow smoothly. The Swedish one has a shrill chorus that kind of kills its appeal, but is otherwise pretty passable. Darkwing's voice (which is only used one or twice in the song, depending on version) is probably best in either the Italian or German one, depending on how scary you think he should be. The Italian one makes him sound like he's a chain-smoker.
The current ranking:

1. Germany
   
2. Italy
   
3. America
   
4. Sweden
   
5. The Netherlands
   

I have heard the Russian version, but the quality wasn't so good, so I'll refrain from ranking it. It will probably be below America when it is ranked, though.
