Livin' a Double Life is the theme song for the Nickelodeon sitcom, The Thundermans and its spin-off sitcom, The Thundermans: Undercover.
Premise
The opening theme for The Thundermans starts with a moving truck for Ace Moving Company driving down a highway before it stops in front of the Thundermans' home. Then each of the Thundermans are shown moving in as their titles are shown:
- Phoebe places the family portrait on the wall, and her titles get frozen and telekinetically pulled toward Max, turning into his title, which gets pushed at him by Phoebe.
- Nora lasers her title into frame.
- Billy zooms past Nora before his title is shown.
- Hank lifts up the couch as his title appears.
- Barb, sitting on the couch, electrifies her title, turning it purple.
The last scene is the Thundermans running outside the house, and Phoebe pushes the penguin plate to change the Thunderman portrait from super to normal; finally, the Thundermans are shown outside on the front porch as Phoebe telekinetically brings the show's title over, followed by Max bringing over the creator information.
The opening theme for The Thundermans: Undercover starts with the portrait of the Thundermans family.
Lyrics
The Thundermans
What you see is not what you get,
Living' our lives with a secret.
We fit right in, bet you'd never guessed,
Cause we're living' our lives just like all the rest.
A picture-perfect family is what we try to be.
Look closer, you might see the crazy things we do.
This isn't make-believe.
It's our reality.
Just your average family
Trying to be normal
And stay out of trouble,
Living' a double life.
The Thundermans: Undercover
Chloe: I come from a family of superheroes. But now my brother and sister and I are heading to a brand-new town.
Phoebe: We're going undercover.
Max: To try and solve our most important mission yet.
A picture-perfect family is what we're trying to be.
Look closer, you might see the crazy things we do.
This isn't make-believe.
It's our reality.
Just your average family
Trying to be normal
And stay out of trouble,
Living' a double life.
Extended Version
What you see is not what you get,
Livin' our lives with a secret.
We're on our own and rockin' beach vibes
Three superhero kids livin' in disguise
A picture perfect family is what we try to be.
Look closer, you might see the crazy things we do.
This isn't make believe.
It's our reality.
Just your average family
Trying to be normal
And stay out of trouble,
Livin' a double life.
