This Acapella X-MEN: THE ANIMATED SERIES Theme Song Is Pitch Perfect

The X-Men animated series theme song is truly iconic. We’d like to think of it as the unofficial national anthem for Gen X and Millennials. Even the imagery that accompanies it is unforgettable in every frame. There have been many remixes of the X-Men theme song, but none of them are quite like MayTree’s acapella version. 

Of course, any good acapella collective is going to have excellent harmony and vocal intonation. But MayTree takes the X-Men theme song to a new level by recreating all the intricate sounds that you hear in the opening credits in addition to the overall acapella take.

Everything from the laser sounds to explosions to the Mister Sinister laugh are there. The chopstick claws are also a nice touch! Honestly, we would pay good money to see this live.
