Let's ZOOM!

You've heard the kids singing something like this: "Come on and ZOOM ZOOM ZOOMa ZOOM/Come on and ZOOMA ZOOMA ZOOMA ZOOM" and now it's one of the popular classic songs of all time!

"ZOOM Theme (AKA Let's ZOOM!/Come on and ZOOM)" is the theme song of the ZOOM franchise. It is the oldest song in ZOOM's history, dating back to the show's very beginning on January 4th, 1972.

The ZOOM theme song was composed by Joe Raposo, a writer and composer of many of television shows' songs. The opening riff is a variation from the "Good Vibrations" song by The Beach Boys, which was released 3 years prior. In his book on the history of ZOOM, Christopher Clark called the theme "jaunty" and "deceptively simple". Raposo wrote the lyrics to the song with Clark and his wife Julie. Julie Aigner-Clark Sr. considered the song "beautiful". Raposo enlisted jazz harmonica player America Stride, as well as the ZOOMers, to record the opening and closing themes. "Let's ZOOM!" has since become a "siren song for kids".

There are different versions of the theme song through the years in the TV series:

## 1972-1978
