Opening sequence

The following page is about the theme songs, which play before the respective episode of Total Drama starts. The theme song is played to the tune of "I Wanna Be Famous!" by Graeme Cornies and Dawna Toews.

Total Drama Island
In the Total Drama Island theme song, the song begins with several spotlights and cameras coming out of random places, such as from the grass or from a tree, knocking down a Squirrel and a Beaver. The scene then goes through Camp Wawanakwa and the host of the show, Chris McLean, who is drinking coffee and commanding the camera crew. The scene then goes to the top of a cliff and then down the cliff, where Owen is seen in the water, farting and disgusting a fish with the smell. The scene pans over to Bridgette and Geoff, in the lake, sitting on Bridgette's surfboard, flirting. However, the smells reaches them and they are also disgusted. As the knocked out fish reaches the top of the water, an Eagle comes around and picks up the fish, dropping it somewhere in the forest. DJ is now seen sitting in the forest with some birds, a Chipmunk, a Frog, a Squirrel, a Turtle and a Bunny. DJ is being kind with them until the dead fish is dropped nearby and the animals attack him. Duncan is now seen laughing, until he notices Courtney staring at him disapprovingly. The camera now goes through the forest and Heather and LeShawna are seen slap-fighting in a rubber raft. Too busy fighting, the two fall over a waterfall. Harold is now seen, practicing some kung-fu moves on a broken log in the middle of the waterfall, while LeShawna and Heather fall behind him. Harold continues to practice until Izzy, who is swinging on a vine, bumps into Harold. The two continue to swing on the vine, and bump into the confessional stall and knock Lindsay out from it, revealing her pink panties. Chef Hatchet is now seen in the kitchen, searching through his food with his hands. He then grins at Noah and Ezekiel, who are tied up, forcing to be fed. The camera pans over to Tyler and Eva, who are arm-wrestling. Tyler is struggling, until Eva defeats him and grins. The camera pans over to Katie and Sadie, who are sitting near the beach on some stairs, fawning over Justin, who is too busy looking at himself in a mirror to care. A seagull, with a soda pop wrapper, is now seen. A Shark then jumps over it, and eats a trout fish in the air. The seagull appears to be safe until a mysterious tentacle grabs it and pulls it under water. Beth is now seen, twirling fire batons in her hand on the Dock of Shame. Beth then tosses the fire baton in the air and it goes to night. Gwen and Trent are now seen, sharing a romantic moment at the campfire pit, until Cody appears and puts his arms over their shoulders. All the contestants, minus Chef, are now seen whistling the tune of "I Wanna Be Famous!", as the screen fades out and a "Total Drama Island" wooden sign is seen.

Total Drama Action
In the Total Drama Action theme song, the song once again begins with spotlights and cameras popping up out of nowhere, bringing up a rat from the sewers and knocking a Raccoon out of its tree. The camera then goes through the Abandoned Film Lot, where Chris McLean is seen driving a golf cart. The camera goes through some fake prop sets and then a rack of clothes. The camera then goes up a cliff, and then down to a special effects pool. Owen is seen swimming it, with a Shark approaching him from behind. However, Owen farts in the Shark's mouth, disgusting it and making it cough. The camera then goes up to the beach movie set, where Harold is evading the seagulls thrown at him. However, one hits him in the face and he falls off into the special effects pool. Duncan is then seen laughing at Harold's misfortune, with Courtney staring at him from behind. Duncan then turns around and Courtney and Duncan share a kiss and then grin evilly. The camera passes through them and through a Sasquatchanakwa wearing a bra and a pink wig to a big flash of light. Beth and two more Sharks are now seen relaxing on beach chairs, wearing sunglasses. The camera zooms on Beth, who displays that she no longer wears braces. Justin is now seen in the confessional, getting his make-up done. He turns around, only to get sprayed in the eyes. Heather and LeShawna are now seen on top of two platforms, fighting with giant q-tips. Heather and LeShawna fight back and forth, until LeShawna gains the upper hand and knocks Heather's wig off her head. The wig falls in Chef's pot, who shrugs and hands it to DJ. DJ puts some Mama's Spice on the stew, tastes it, and smiles in delight. The camera pans over to Lindsay, who is in Chris' private room. Lindsay then presses a button, which makes a building explode. Izzy is now seen, waving to Lindsay, with a Bear behind her. The Bear roars at Izzy, however Izzy roars back at the Bear, making it run away. Izzy chases the Bear throughout the film lot, and Gwen is now seen inside the Lame-o-sine. Trent then opens the door for her and some flashes are seen. Chris now appears at the Glided Chris Award podium, in a blue tuxedo. Chris opens an envelope, and Chef, in a disturbing bright pink dress, hands him some shiny Glided Chris Awards. Bridgette and Geoff are now seen in the aftermath studio, about to kiss. Soon, they realize that everyone is looking at them and stop, as the camera reveals all the twenty-two contestants from the first season, sitting on peanut galleries. The screen behind them then changes from Chef and Chris to the logo of Total Drama Action.
