I have to agree with you on that one.Although,the Chip'N'Dale theme tune is one not to be forgotten.It had catchy lyrics and a mysterious instrumental(one which I have been looking for all over the internet,I might add).However, the riffs were inspired from the various different sections of the MacGuyver theme tune.Do you respect inspiration?

I always find myself singing the Rescue Rangers theme when I'm watching MacGyver. Good to see I'm not the only one.

He screams by the window, and he's not even looking outside.

It does. Both themes rock, but Rescue Rangers is better.

Ironic. Whenever I watch the Chip 'n' Dale episode 'Out to Launch' I always want to hum the Thunderbirds march.

The first few seonds of each sound similar, but the rest is completely different, IMHO.

Maybe just the repeated note that's equivalent to the "ch-ch-ch-chip" part, but.. IMO that's it.
