Doesn't the Mexican dub have all the insert songs? Also if that statement were true, then why does Funi's Japanse version on their DVDs have all the insert songs.

Nope Mexican dub doesn't have all insert songs, and FUNi bought the Japanese audio on their DVD's from Toei, but their music track for the dub is from the Mexican dub

Wow, they're cheaper than I thought. Maybe that's why there's an occasional missing song in DBZ...

Since Funi is obviously planning on releasing the entire DBZ series and all of the DBZ movies (and we can assume all of DB, DBGT and their movies/specials as well) with that Japanese BGM track option that contains 99% of all the Japanese vocal songs there are a couple hundred songs missing in you list under the Funimation dub section...the vocal songs from DBZ episodes 1-194 and DBZ movies 1-4 to be exact. But great job with all of the other dubs! This is a very helpful list!
I got the movie songs in the list, but all the songs in the series were removed except for Zenkai Power

Not in the Funi dub & Japanese BGM audio track (which you seem to be counting in your list). All I'm saying is that you're counting the fact that Cha-La Head Cha-La was used in the Funi dub & Japanese BGM audio track but not counting all of the other Japanese songs that were in that very same audio track...for the specials, movies and DBZ TV series. I just wanted to point that out. Great list though!!!

I remember at one point, the Cantonese dub theme song was sung by Ekin Cheng. He's the star of Hong Kong movies like "The Stormriders", "A Man Called Hero" and the "Young and Dangerous" series.

Wait wouldn't that be illegal. Don't they have to get the music from Toei Animation in Japan. Let's say that you may be right, if they did buy it from Intertrack how come they couldn't buy the original backing tracks to the main OP/ED themes for DB/Z/GT.

Semi-related question. If Funimation had done English versions of the DBZ insert songs or "Cha-La" or "We Gotta Power", who can you picture singing them? Don't know about "We Gotta Power" or the insert songs, but for Cha-La, of guys Funi uses, I can most picture Vic Mignona or Brina Palencia. For y'all not familiar with their singing voices:

I absolutely love what FUNimation are doing with One Piece, I just wish Madman would hurry up and put out first Voyage over here, If I don't see an annoucement soon, I'll just give up and get them on Ebay.

I completely forgot about One Piece, I need to pick up the second voyage soon! The first 13 episodes had an amazing dub, so amazing that I found it hard keeping it on Japanese a few times.

I'll actually watch the dub, because it's pretty good, but I think Luffy's voice is a little weak, as is Sanji's, but then again all I have to go on is my copy of the Alabasta movie.

They'll never replace the Japanese voicecast for me, but I have no problem sitting through an episode of the dub.

It takes time for actors to usually settle into a role but Clinkenbeard does really gets the man child aspect of Luffy, not to mention her Gum Gum Storm is incredible.
