For sure! If it is on youtube, would love to check it.
Catalan opening of Chala Head Chala was one of my favorites, unfortunately before I started to watch the German dub with Chala, I was sentenced to the dumb French one, but I was used to it

Awesome! I have liked the Catalan and Gallician versions of Chala and never heard the instrumental alone!
Was that released?
I grew up on German version of Chala Head Chala, which sounds really hard-rockish.
Still remember that cool feeling, when they aired it on prime time after News in the evening and the TV turned red with the Z coming over the ball and this started to play.

No, it was never released. Both instrumentals come from a backup of the original material for the songs and insert songs

Here in spain we have seen that shitty opening from episodes 1 to 104 (at least in Catalna, they also got that in spanish but maybe in lesser episodes).
IIRC, the catalana version was sung by a man and the spanish by a woman.
I have a tvsize and a long version of the song in catalan and also an instrumental version of the long one.
Anyone interested in that one?
Speaking of, it seems to me that the Catalan version of Makafushigi Adventure is sung by the same guy that did the European Spanish version of Makafushigi Adventure.

Yes, because the firts 26 episodes of Dragon Ball were dubbed in Barcelona (Catalonia) either in Catalan and Spanish.
So the ending song is also the same singer for both languages.

I legit love this opening. It is a MASSIVE guilty pleasure of mine.
Same it's just good in a weird way.
I wonder where is the full version of the alternate portugal opening The only way for us to know is to figure out the singer

The singers who sang this Portugal-dubbed French DBZ theme is actually José Natário and Ruy Silva, according to credits from every TV airing of every episode of DBZ in Portugal.
Sadly, there isn't a full version. The only alternate version heard is from the dub of Movies 12 and 13, which has an alternate instrumental that starts after the short seconds of "We Gotta Power". Seconds later after the alternate instrumental, it transitions to the usual theme, but probably re-recorded by the same singers.
