Guilty Pleasure—"The Proud Family"

As a cable-less child of the '90s, I could only watch "The Proud Family" early in the morning on weekends, when it played on the basic access channels. Nonetheless, I was hooked on its theme song, which eventually became my shower song of choice. While attempting to download it onto my iPod one day, I discovered that there actually exists an extended 2:30 version of the catchy theme, which was almost too good to be true. Fun fact: "The Proud Family" song is actually sung by Solange Knowles, Beyonce's slightly-overlooked sister, and features Destiny's Child. It's worth a listen, if not only for its R&B-inspired, harmony-heavy beats, but as a chance to reminisce on old times.
