"Call Me, Beep Me!", or "The Kim Possible Song", is the theme song for the Disney Channel series Kim Possible . The song was written by Cory Lerios and George Gabriel. [1]
In the song, Kim Possible (the main character of the series) tells listeners to "call" or "beep" her if "there's trouble", no "matter if it's day or night", and promises she will not fail them and will rush to help. [1] Thus, it reflects the use of modern-day mobile technologies. [2]
The original version of the song, which played over the opening sequence of the 2002 series, was recorded by Christina Milian and is a catchy punchy Motown-flavored R&B number. [1] [3] [4]
Since then, the song has been covered by many artists, notably by Priscilla in 2006 in French, [5] by the groups Preluders in 2004 [6] and Banaroo in 2006 [7] in English, Beni in 2005 in Japanese, [8] and by Kiki Ting in Mandarin. [9]
In 2015, the original version of the song claimed the number one spot in the ranking of the "Disney Channel Theme Songs of Yesteryear". [10]
The song is also used as the theme song for the 2019 live-action film adaptation. In addition to Millian's version returning and being used in the film's opening sequence, a new version was produced for the film, sung by its lead actress, Sadie Stanley. Her version received a modern dance-pop arrangement and differs greatly from the original version of the song. [4] [11]
