Patrick Stump (of Fallout Boy, the band that sang “the ribbon on her wrist says do not open before Christmas”) sings the theme song to “Spidey and his Amazing Friends” and “Hot Wheels: Let’s race”. And both those songs kick ass.
And I must say that the Panic! and Weezer covers on the Frozen 2 OST also kick ass.
