FAVORITE DUCKTALES COVERS
Welcome to my favorite DuckTales Covers Blog
One of the most fun (and most gratifying) parts of my career has been experiencing the incredible covers of the "DuckTales Theme Song" on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. Every songwriter loves having a cover of their song done by a talented artist or fan. I feel especially lucky as there are a lot of DuckTales covers out there. Per Vanity Fair, the number is something like 362,000... on YouTube alone! Fans of the song continue to amaze me with their talent. I'll keep adding new versions as I discover them...
September 2026
This cover by Kings Return went viral on Instagram with over 39,600,000 views in a few weeks, which is incredible. It's easy to see why.
These singers are THAT good.
I LOVED IT. A few friends have shared the link with me in the last few days so I wanted to thank them and post it myself.

KINGS RETURN Cover gets 39,600,000 Views
DUCKTALES CAST Cover gets 8,100,000 Views
October 2026
When DuckTales was rebooted by Disney in 2017, I was very happy to hear my song on the new show. But before the reboot even came out, Disney put a video of the DuckTales reboot cast singing the theme song. It went viral on YouTube with more than 8,100,000 views. I totally get why... it is really fun to watch.
I had the pleasure of meeting a lot of the show's voice actors at Disney's D23 in Anaheim and they were so much fun (no surprise) and genuinely nice people. It was a very memorable day.
The talented voice actors include: Doctor Who's David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck, Community's Danny Pudi, Parks & Recreation's Ben Schwartz and SNL's Bobby Moynihan as the voices of Huey, Dewey and Louie, SNL's Beck Bennett as Launchpad McQuack, The Neighbors Toks Olagundoye as Mrs. Beakley, and The Big Bang Theory's Kate Micucci as Webby Vanderquack. All did an excellent job!
PANIC! AT THE DISCO'S BRENDON URIE and his version of DuckTales on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon has 7,100,000 Views
October 2026
When Brendon Urie from Panic! at the Disco covers your song... it doesn't get any better than that. Especially when it's this hip, jive version and it's on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Brendon is such a great artist... and his dancing is pretty cool, too!
He really captures the fun, exuberance and wackiness of the song perfectly. It was so great to watch.
THE WARP ZONE and their parody version of DuckTales (DuckTape) got 7,200,000 Views
October 2026
One of my all time favorites!
The video is clever and funny and the parody lyrics are so smart they make me laugh out loud! Every time!!!
Some favorite lines: "Salami and Origami" and "Fix the San Andreas fault with Duck Tape."
This is a classic!
DARREN CRISS and his acoustic version of DuckTales received 378,000 Views pre-Glee
October 2026
I love Darren Criss's version... this is pre-Glee and pre-his starring role on that show... and way before his incredible Tony-winning performance on Broadway for Maybe Happy Ending, which also won a Tony as Best Musical in 2025!
I had the pleasure of meeting Darren at a show at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood a few years back and told him what a great job he had done with his acoustic version of "DuckTales." We had a really fun converation. He is as nice a guy as you'd hope he'd be.
Another fun coincidence... My song "Crush" appeared on a Season One episode of Glee sung by Darren's co-star Lea Michele and was featured on the Glee: The Music, Volume 2 soundtrack, which was certified Gold in the US and the UK, as well as Platinum in Australia and Canada.
