The Powerpuff Girls Theme Song is the song that plays as the intro to every episode of the original 1998 version of the Cartoon Network animated TV show The Powerpuff Girls. The song is mostly instrumental, but featured an opening narration by the show's Narrator, Tom Kenny.
Intro[]
The intro begins as Professor Utonium puts sugar, spice, and "everything nice" into the concoction, each ingredient is accompanied by a background of the signature color of the ingredient's respective Powerpuff Girl, and then the concoction is shown, as the narrator introduces the premise. In addition of Chemical X, Professor Utonium uses a stirrer to mix and accidentally shatters the Chemical X bottle, followed by the concoction exploding as the Professor is thrown across the room. He sits up and smiles, as the Powerpuff Girls are uncovered, floating over the cauldron as the narrator introduces them. In a heart-patterned background, the trio pops up one at a time in their signature poses as the narrator says their names and finishes the narration. The trio flies on a blue speed line background, with each girl entering one by one with Blossom on the top, Bubbles in the middle, and Buttercup on the bottom. In a red background, we see a full scenery of the various villains, some of which are minor or one-time villains. Both sides fly into view. The trio and the villains rush toward one another. Blossom punches Mojo Jojo, Bubbles punches Fuzzy Lumpkins, and Buttercup kicks HIM in the face, knocking a tooth out. The trio battles all the villains and stand together on the villains' heads. An explosion is heard as the show's logo appears, followed by the "Created by" information.
Lyrics[]
Narrator:
Sugar, spice, and everything nice, these were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girl.
But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction--
Chemical X!
Thus, The Powerpuff Girls were born!
Using their ultra-super powers,
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup
Have dedicated their lives to fighting crime,
And the forces of evil!
(theme music)

Trivia[]
- The theme song plays before every episode, except for "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey" and "A Documentary".
- In the 2008 special "The Powerpuff Girls Rule!!!", the theme song was restored in high definition.
- The high-definition version also includes the addition of Sedusa and The Boogie Man to the scrolling pan of all the villains.
- Another edit is that when The Powerpuff Girls stand on the pile of villains at the end of the song, Mojo Jojo is missing a tooth, Abracadaver and Snake's facial expressions are changed, and Junior's entire face is visible, whereas before, it was cut off screen.
- There is also an error in the shot where the girls are standing on the pile of villains where Mojo Jojo's brain is green instead of pink. However, this was fixed in the HD version.
- In the show's special episode, "Dance Pantsed Revolution", the song was re-animated yet again, this time, in CGI-animation.
- When Professor Utonium puts sugar, spice, and everything nice into the concoction, each ingredient is accompanied by a background of the signature color of the ingredients' respective Powerpuff Girl.
- Bubbles is considered the "sugar" of the team, because of her sweetness. When Professor Utonium poured sugar into the concoction, the background was blue.
- Buttercup is considered the "spice" of the team, because of her spicy attitude. When Professor Utonium poured spice into the concoction, the background was green.
- Blossom is considered the "everything nice" of the team, because of how nice she is. When Professor Utonium poured everything nice into the concoction, the background was pink.
- Sedusa is the only recurring villain and not to appear in the pan shot of all the villains.
- However, this is changed in the high-definition version, where she is placed behind Mojo Jojo.
- When Buttercup kicks Him, a bunch of drops of blood come out of his mouth. This is one of the girls' rare occasions, when gore is shown in The Powerpuff Girls.
- Some episodes, include scenes and gags, where a character will perform a parody on the theme song. These are done in episodes such as "The Rowdyruff Boys", when Mojo Jojo was creating The Rowdyruff Boys "Twisted Sister", when The Powerpuff Girls were creating Bunny, "Oops, I Did It Again", when Professor Utonium was creating The Run of the Mill Girls, and "West in Pieces", when the Western version of Professor Utonium was creating The Steamypuff Girls.
- The Powerpuff Girls sang the instrumental part of their theme song in the episode "The Powerpuff Girls' Best Rainy Day Adventure Ever", while playing pretend. Bunny sang a poor rendition of the instrumental in "Twisted Sister".
- During the "flight entrance" sequence, each girls had their individual tunes during their respective entrances:
- Blossom has the standard trumpet tune that is mainly heard throughout the theme itself.
- Bubbles' tune is a glockenspiel version of the theme.
- Buttercup's tune is a combination of a rhythm guitar and a trumpet playing a much different piece.
