The original Japanese opening titles for Pokemon (Pocket Monsters). A few notes:

 

1. One of the Pokemon in the sequence (Porygon) was featured in the infamous "seizure episode" that was buried in the vaults after its one airing was reputed to have induced epileptic seizures with its flashing lights. It was never imported into the US, but the Pokemon might or might not have been edited out of the future games. You can find the Japanese-language names of several other monsters in that sequence of the video (most notably the opne known to American audiences as the pretty-much-useless Psyduck)..

 

2. One of the early verses has a reference to looking up girls' skirts. The video is not subtitled, but it should be easy to tell where the reference comes in.

 

3. Much of the footage in this OP was not used in the US credits sequence, and a new and less interesting song was composed in English for the NA credits.

I always knew Pikachu was a PokePervert.

 

 

More like Ash/Satoshi playing a juvenile prank.

 

And the things some people come up with in the fandom...

The signature song of the late great Bobby Hatfield, one half of the Righteous Brothers (with Bill Medley). This is a recording of his live performance of "Unchained Melody" on the Andy Williams Show in 1965, one of the most romantic songs ever written, performed by one of the most soulful vocalists who ever lived.
