I do believe the song goes...

Daring duck of mystery
Champion of right
Swoops out of the shadows
Darkwing owns the night

Somewhere some villian schemes
But his numbers up...
two, three, four...Darkwing Duck
When there's trouble you call D.W.
Darkwing Duck,  "Let's get dangerous"
Darkwing Duck,  Better watch out you bad boys...
DARKWING DUCK!

Thats what I think the song is.  Hope it helps.

Here's what was posted quite a while ago:

DARKWING DUCK THEME SONG

Daring duck of mystery, champion of right
Swoops out of the shadows, Darkwing owns the night...
Somewhere some villain schemes, but his number's up!  
(3,2,1,...)

Darkwing Duck!
When there's trouble you call DW!
Darkwing Duck!    (Let's get dangerous!)
Darkwing Duck!    (Darkwing... Darkwing... Duck!)

Cloud of smoke and he appears, a master of surprise...
Who's the cunning mind behind that shadowy disguise?
Nobody knows for sure -- the bad guys are out of luck  
('cause here comes)

Darkwing Duck!  (Look out!)
When there's trouble you call DW!
Darkwing Duck!    (Let's get dangerous!)
Darkwing Duck!    (Better watch out you bad boys!)
Darkwing Duck!

Wombats!! Cool!!  However now I wonder if I was a wombat in a former

Now I will be watching for the Combat Wombat commando team.  We could probably

Interesting.  Veddy interesting.  My "Lemurs of Madagascar" book doesn't
mention these scent glands at all in several pages of dry facts about the
Ring-Tailed lemurs.  They do note that Ring-Tailed lemurs are
matriarchical, with females usually having dominance and males going from
troop to troop in search of one where they can mate.  It also says that
only the Indri is tailless.

A slight misunderstanding. I was talking about lemurs, in particular
the ring-tailed lemur _Lemur catta_. I shorthanded that to
'ringtails', which should have been clear from the context. Guess it
wasn't. Sorry.

This sort of confusion can also happen with _Lemur mongoz_, the
mongoose lemur (which is not a mongoose, and will beat the pants off
of any mongoose that says different), and the various species of mouse
lemur, __Microcebus_ (which aren't mice, and would deeply resent the
implication that they are).

Ringtailed cats and raccoons are perfectly cool animals as well, but
we shouldn't add to the considerable identity crisis that lemurs
already suffer from.

Prosimians Rule!

You are both right, depending on what you are talking about. The ringtail lemur
is a genuine Madagascar lemur and is commonly seen in zoos. The ringtail,
_Bassariscus astutus_ (if bad memory serves me correctly) is a procyonid
common in the SW United States (saw one crossing the street in my subdivision
a few months ago). Both have great big fluffy ringed tails and a lot of
"cute" appeal.

ringtails, also called ringtailed cats, are neither lemurs nor cats, but

You're right, there is a relative of the raccoon called a ringtail.  However,
there also ring tailed lemurs.  They are the ones most commonly found in US 
zoos.

how many authors can you think of who wrote about lemurs.I mean fiction

lemurs in the writing of William S. Burroughs.something to do with
heroin using homosexuals.That sounds like a lemur to me.I think if
lemurs were marketed that way then maybe there would be more of a push
for a National Geographic special about lemurs,maybe staring David Bowie.

Lemur-B-Gon?  Aren't they rather expensive?  It strikes me that Vance could
have accomplished the same task himself with a crate of Twinkies and perhaps
some juggling to lure the Lemurs to someone else's apartment window, and
then let THOSE poor guys pay the Lemur-B-Gon bill.

That's an important point, though.  Never give a lemur a credit card.  A
checkbook is bad enough, to be honest, but they go seriously wild with
credit cards.  Not only do baby lemurs covet them (they open cages like
magic if you know how to use them), but they allow you to buy brand-new
Burl Ives records in quantity off of late-night TV commercials.

Oh, good, some statistics.  What's the biggest variety of lemur?  The smallest?
The most impressed by juggling skills or lack thereof?  Does it include stuff
