Main Title (Rock the Dragon)

Main Title,[1] usually referred to as "Rock the Dragon", is the theme song heard during the opening and closing sequences of the FUNimation Dub of Dragon Ball Z episodes 1 to 92. It is also heard in the opening credits for the North American version of the video game Dragon Ball Z: Budokai.
Overview
Edit
It was written and performed by Shuki Levy and Kussa Mahehi.
The opening sequence featured scenes from Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone, Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest, Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might, and the Vegeta Saga. The song was originally featured in the Ocean Group dub, produced while Ocean Studios dubbed the series under a joint venture between Saban and FUNimation, however when Saban ended this deal, FUNimation could no longer afford Ocean Studios' work and thus began dubbing the series using an in-house team, and soon replaced Levy and Mahehi's soundtrack with music by Bruce Faulconer.
On peer-to-peer music sharing sites, the song is often falsely credited to Linkin Park. Additionally, even after FUNimation Entertainment started doing their own dub version and music, the instrumental end-credit version of the song still played over the end credits when the Frieza Saga was shown on Cartoon Network.
