Tommy the Green Ranger
Go Green Ranger Go, The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' Green Ranger theme is the first theme song given to a separate Ranger aside from the consistent five Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Used for the first two seasons of the show and discontinued with the start of the third, a first version plays during Rita's reign in the first season and a second version was used after Lord Zedd becomes the main villain in the second season. Both versions include Goldar as an antagonist in the track. The track was composed by Ron Wasserman (a.k.a. Aaron Waters). The sample of the song first appears at the end of "Return of an Old Friend, Part 1".
"White Light, Part 2" and "Opposites Attract" plays a third version of the song, identical to the second except replacing Green with White. A fourth version, heard only in "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Karate Club: The Green Ranger Kata", replaces "Go Green/White Ranger Go" with "Go Go Tommy Go".

Notes[]
- Go Green Ranger Go was originally to be the theme tune for Cybertron, an adaptation of Choujinki Metalder which was to star Jason David Frank in the title role, having left Power Rangers at the time. However due to the audience's positive response to Tommy (and the resulting negative response to his departure) it was decided to bring him back and Cybertron was retooled to become VR Troopers. As a result the theme's lyrics were rewritten to reference the Green Ranger instead.
- Ironically, there was no special insert song attributed to his Sentai counterpart, DragonRanger, and this wasn't commonplace for Sixth Rangers until MegaSilver's introduction in Megaranger.
- The lyrics to the song were altered to reference Lord Zedd following the change in main villains in The Mutiny, and were changed again to mention the White Ranger instead of the Green Ranger following Tommy's first color change. However this version was rarely used in favor of the brand new song White Ranger Tiger Power.
