Lyrics
Some times some crimes
Go slippin' through the cracks
But these two gumshoes
Are pickin' up the slack
There's no case too big, no case too small
When you need help just call
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale
Rescue Rangers
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale
When there's danger
No-no it never fails
Once they're involved
Somehow whatever's wrong gets solved
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale
Rescue Rangers
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale
When there's danger
Oh no, it never fails
They'll take the clues
And find the where's and whys and who's
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale
Rescue Rangers
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale
When there's danger
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'n Dale.

The "A version" of the intro to Disney Afternoon 1989 cartoon, Chip 'N' Dale: Rescue Rangers. The intros seemed to be placed to random episodes as far as I can make out, though that may be due to syndication or just Disney wanting to mix things up a bit, in any case I am calling it the "A version" to distinguish it from the other version.
The first theme is quite a light, somewhat symphonised affair, with the sound effects that occurred in later renditions absent. Personally I prefer the darker theme with the sound effects included.
Tress MacNeille was the voice of Chip, Gadget and Zipper, Corey Burton was the voice of Dale; Jim Cummings played the roles of: Monterey Jack, Fat Cat and Professor Nimnul. In the case of Chip and Dale, the voices were electronically pitched up during production.
The use of this introduction theme clip/subject is claimed under 'Fair Use' on the grounds of:
1) the clip/subject is used for - and accompanied with - comments on the show. Comments include such things as the producers of the show (as in the production company/s), the year it first aired and how long the series lasted in 'standard length' episodes. Also noted is the availability of subject on high quality, officially licensed media (e.g. DVD).
2a) Inferior quality of video in relation to the quality of the original source. Being at a much lower screen resolution at a high level of compression. In addition to the substantial generation loss caused as a result of the methods used, the process also causes compression artifacts in the form of: loss of image clarity, noise, pixelization, et al.
2b) The inferior nature coupled with the incomplete nature of this recording and the diminished potential value therein of this recording in relation to the original work.
3) The trivial nature of the potential value of subject's introductory theme (hereon referred to as 'intro'), less the actual show that would otherwise follow. On the basis that it is the show - rather than the show's intro - which is, in essence, the primary draw of any 'realistic' potential audience and therefore the main fiscal worth of the subject (relating to audience/market share and sales of merchandising, i.e. DVD and video).
4) Bar the occasional glimpse at an episode's title car, the clip is of the intro and nothing else. The length of the clip is determined by that of subject's intro original length, no more is taken.
5) The poster and host both receive no revenue from this clip's existence on this site.

coooooooool video.
"Strangely, the multi-part origin story for the series occurred in the second season, rather than as the pilot as per usual. The series ran Disney's 'traditional' length of 65 episodes and volumes of the show are currently out on DVD."
That multi-episode thing was a straight to TV movie which is what spawned the series in the first place :p They just chopped it in five to make episodes out of it (tho that might've been planned ahead of time).
Okay, fair enough, thanks for the information, I'll delete that bit. My betting it was cut up into five "standalone" episodes to easily "create" five episodes for the second season.
Is it me, or did the guys who sung the Ducktales theme sing this too?
It's you, but not just you - plenty of people think so. The Jets did Chip and Dale, Jeff Pescetto did Ducktales, though both themes were written by the same man.
I think this is the intro used on the DVDs but the other one (B) is the one I remember seeing as a kid.
