The Fairly OddParents! Theme Song is the first theme song of the series, being used in every episode of Season 1 through Season 9 with the exception of the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour trilogy (instead, this theme and the Jimmy Neutron theme are used as a medley). The theme song is used to give the basic premise of the show, about Timmy's miserable life, his inattentive parents, his mean babysitter Vicky, and his magical fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda. At the end of the intro, Vicky's head changes into a different item usually relating to the episode. It was composed by Ron Jones and written by show creator Butch Hartman. It was replaced by Chloe's Theme Song for the show's tenth season.
Intro[]
The title sequence begins with Timmy sitting tiredly as the other students on the bus he's riding tease and bully him. He then leaves the bus only to be knocked down into a puddle by a ball before looking up to see a cutout board of his parents, which Vicky is behind. She promptly grabs and screams at him before laughing evilly. Timmy runs upstairs to his bedroom and finds a fishbowl with his fairy godparents, Wanda and Cosmo (and later, Poof starting with Season 9), who then exit in their normal forms. Various toys then fly out of Timmy's toybox, including a purple sauropod whose mouth Cosmo emerges from only to be shut in again. Timmy and his fairy godparents then ride on a train with piano keys for tracks before they quickly go from playing in a band and becoming peas in a pod to Timmy becoming buff and then driving a race car. Chasing Vicky in the car, Timmy and his fairy godparents turn her into a set of geometric shapes, a rubber goose, a moose, a cup of guava juice and finally a snake that scares them. Timmy then wishes for a birthday cake, gigantic fries, and a chocolate milkshake that he dives into from the fries. Timmy's fairy godparents then dance a jig before Cosmo's hat flies out and is caught in Timmy's room. Timmy comes out from inside the hat before Wanda and Cosmo wish the background white. Wanda and Cosmo are on both sides of the show's logo, and Vicky and Timmy walk in before the former's head turns into something ridiculous.

Trivia[]
- In "Abra-Catastrophe!", apes become the dominant species of Earth and Jorgen Von Strangle declares that Fairies must now serve the apes, leading into a version of the theme song called "The Fairly Odd Primates" featuring monkey versions of Cosmo, Wanda, Vicky, Mr. Turner, and Mrs. Turner.
- In both versions of the intro, the rain stops immediately after Timmy is hit with the volleyball.
- In the first Jimmy-Timmy Power Hour, Jimmy Neutron calls Timmy an "average kid who no one understands". Cosmo later says they should make a song out of it.
- In the episode "Something's Fishy", a shark claims he recognizes Cosmo's "pointy crowny thing".
- In "Timmy's Secret Wish!", Jorgen sings the first part of the song before the song "A Million Wishes" starts.
- The album The Newest Nicktoons uses a version of this song without the character lines.
- The ending credits is the alternate instrumental for this song.
- Since Billionfold entered the production crew, the theme song is cut for its logo and the following Frederator logo but returns with the final few notes for the Nickelodeon logo. This is interesting since in Danny Phantom, the music is played over the DP theme.
- The rhyming of Vicky being turned into a giant snake and later a chocolate shake is based on the pilot episode.
- In the title sequence storyboard, the ball that hits Timmy looks more like a soccer ball.
- In the Albanian (Season 9 only, with subtitles), Italian, Latin American Spanish, Malay, Mandarin (Season 9 only) and Turkish dubs, the intro is left in English and only the spoken lines are dubbed (The Turkish dub leaves the entire intro in English from Season 6 onwards, and the Albanian dub has the whole intro in English in Seasons 1-8).
Goofs[]
- When Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda are in the train in the first version of the intro, Cosmo's tie is right behind him. Also on the same scene, Wanda's shirt was pink. Starting in 2008 with the premiere of Fairly OddBaby, both of these errors were corrected.
- It is clearly shown that Cosmo's tie was behind him because the train is moving fast. Therefore the air causes it to go back.
- Soon after the new theme was released the multiple tie error was fixed.
- It is clearly shown that Cosmo's tie was behind him because the train is moving fast. Therefore the air causes it to go back.
- In the old theme, When Timmy's poofed in the car for a brief second Wanda's eyebrows are missing.
- It was fixed when the new theme came out.
- Vicky has antlers as a moose even though real female moose do not have them.
- In the official Nickelodeon YouTube channel upload of the standard-definition opening, an audio description narration track could faintly be heard in the background saying the following:
- "In animation."
- "Children tease Timmy."
- "From goldfish, they become Cosmo, a green-haired man, and Wanda, a pink-haired woman, with wings and wands, granting Timmy's wishes."
- This was later fixed when they re-uploaded it with different footage instead.
