The "Shin Chan Theme" was composed by John Loeffler and John Siegler. It plays at the start of every episode of all the show's local adaptations based on the 2002 English dub.
For the German dub a remix of the song was made, and for the Italian dub a new arrangement was made. Other arrangements of the theme song depending on the region are not known.
Main theme[]
English[]
- Singer: ?
The intro was left undubbed in the Greek dub, which occasionally also used an instrumental version of the song with backing vocals intact.
(Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!) Lookin' for trouble, he's your man (Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!) He's breakin' the rules the best he can Little bit rude, a little bit crude He's the kid with an attitude (Shin Chan!) He drives his parents crazy His teachers scratch their heads Homework's just a dirty word Rather stay at home in bed He's mama's little angel, just ask her (Just ask her!) But he's a walkin', talkin' blueprint for disaster (Blueprint for disaster!) (Heeey, hey!) (Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!) Lookin' for trouble, he's your man (Say hey!) Hey! (Shin Chan!) He's breakin' the rules the best he can Little bit rude, little bit crude He's the kid with an attitude (Shin Chan!)

The shortened instrumental with backing vocals heard in the show’s ending credits dubs the backing vocals, whereas they are not dubbed in the theme song, replacing “Say hey!” with “Sig hej!”
