Bingo.
I LOVED the theme.....on Toonami. Personally, while I prefer a series to keep its orinigal music in a dub, I can handle adaptions as well as literal dubs, like Duel Masters turning its Yugioh rip-off into a parody. Now, OF COURSE Rave Master's dub was NOT a parody, it was just a cheap dub without paying for the orinigal music, but since that's what we're stuck with, I'll take the bad with the good, but would also take the good with the bad.
And I like the short version used in the show. Hell, I liked the Zatch Bell dub theme songs too that alot of fans hate. Hell, I have the entire Digimon movie soundtrack, which has basically half the songs of season 2's dub. But man or man, did the long version sucked. I love Reel Big Fish, but let it not be said they didn't churn out at least one crappy song to earn a quick buck.
(I'll give RGF some credit, they did at least make fun of themselves and other artists who occassionaly put out sub-par songs by making that a point of a song.)
