The Johnny Test Theme Song 1 is the first theme song used in the Johnny Test cartoon. It was originally used during the first season, from the episode Johnny to the Center of the Earth, up until the first season's finale, Johnny & the Attack of the Monster Truck, running exactly 13 episodes (26 segments).
In the US, it also originally appeared on all Kids' WB! (and that block's replacement, The CW4Kids) broadcasts/reruns of the first three seasons (despite a new intro sequence and theme song being made for season 2 and beyond). As a result, this theme song was used the longest in the United States at the time.
Summary[]
The theme song starts with a countdown, and, as it reaches 0, the words Johnny, followed by Test, blink a few times. Then, the radioactivity sign is shown, becoming lower. Johnny drops from the top of the screen and lands atop the sign, and, after it spins a few degrees, Johnny takes off with the Turbo Action Backpack, flying to the lab, where he takes a radioactive chewing gum created by his sisters. As he eats it, he changes to Johnny X, and uses the hurricane hands to make the lab a mess. Dukey is than shown laughing, as Johnny rides Scoots, and stops near him.
Dukey jumps on scoots, and they leave the lab, passing through Lila's room, who is working on the computer, and through the kitchen, which Hugh tries to make it shine, finally reaching upstairs, to the door to Johnny's room. As Johnny opens the room, a lot of junk comes out of it, including a surf board, which Johnny uses to surf on the junk.
The scene then shows Bling-Bling Boy, Zizrar the Mole King, Mr. Black and Mr. White, the Extreme Teen Team, the Moonsies, Brain Freezer, Monkey Gil, the Turbo Toy Force, and RoadBurn.
The scene then shows Johnny singing, while transforming into different forms, Ninja Johnny, Deep Sea Johnny, King of the Sea, Mega Muscle Johnny, Hairy Johnny, Astronaut Johnny, Girl Johnny, Monster Johnny, and than back to Johnny, who continues singing. Dukey is than shown playing Johnny's guitar, and singing along with Johnny, before he smashes it on the ground, breaking it, and the scene cuts back to the lab where Mary has her arms crossed as Susan pulls the lever down making the screen white and the Johnny Test logo appears.

Lyrics[]
Test, Test, Test, Johnny Test (Go, go, go!)
He's action packed, turbo charged, ready to blast.
He's got a flaming head of hair and likes to live fast.
His sisters like to use him for their wild experiments.
Check out a day in the life of Johnny Test! (Go, go, go!)
He's got a super talking dog he takes to every place.
Who likes a cup of joe and has a muttly face.
His mom's ultra busy and his dad's a bit obsessed.
Sonic boom, messy room, his name is Johnny Test!
Bling-Bling, The Mole King, Super Secret Feds
Extreme Teens, Moonsies, Brain Freezing Heads
Monkey Boys, Turbo Toys, Monster Trucking Treads
Just another day in the life of a boy ... (Johnny Test!)
Just another day in the life of a boy ... (Johnny Test!)
Just another day in the life of a boy ... (Johnny Test!)
Just another day in the life of a boy named...
Just another day in the life of a boy named...
Just another day in the life of a boy named Johnny Test!
Whoo!

Trivia[]
- If someone looks closer to the theme song during the beginning of the "Just another day in the life of a boy named... (Johnny Test!)" part of the theme song, they can see that Johnny is actually singing the theme song. This is especially well noticed when Johnny is Ninja Johnny.
- In the German, European Portuguese and Serbian dubs, this opening song was still used after Season 1.
- In the U.S., this theme song was also used in the beginning of episodes from seasons 2 and 3 as well due to the show still airing on the Kids' WB! and The CW4Kids. This song was not officially replaced for both seasons in the U.S. until January 2008, when Johnny Test started airing on Cartoon Network, likely due to them using the original Canadian prints from Teletoon.
- Also, starting in October 2006, when Kids' WB! started airing Season 2, the original intro was slightly altered; the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo was now removed, and after the countdown in the intro, a "Closed Captions" logo appeared; and when the intro ended, instead of cutting to black, it now faded to black. This would also occur during Season 3 and all reruns of the show on Kids' WB!/CW4Kids.
- Some USA Season 1 airings on Cartoon Network kept the original intro, while Netflix airings and Mill Creek Entertainment DVDs of Season 1 contain the second intro.
- Kevin Manthei, composer of the song, posted an early version of the opening sequence, which while the song itself has no differentiation from the final version, has the scene where Johnny Test sings "Just another day in the life of a boy" behind a very flashing background. This was changed to a more static-y yet vibrant background presumably to avoid any potential eye damages or seizures.[1]
- Both of the show's theme songs sounds very similar to the songs 'Americain Idiot' by Green Day and 'Its the End of the World' by R.E.M.
