Am I the only one who LOVES the 4Kids theme song?
There seems to be a fan consensus that the show has a bad theme song. However, do you like the song or am I the only one?
Maybe its that I grew up with the 4Kids turtles which makes me really biased but eh, put your thoughts down below! |

It's just OK. They really needed to do without the, "ONE TWO THREE FOUR" during the theme, the rest of it was alright.

"Love" is an extreme word, but I think the theme song is given a somewhat unfair treatment. The problem might be the lyrics, not exactly the best out there but the core music is perfectly fine, here it is with lyrics:
And here it is without: It's perfectly fine, it's maybe not the catchiest thing ever but it's not generic or too mismatched. And if it is the lyrics that suck, it's not like the FW or Nick themes have all that great lyrics to begin with, just a catchier tune. Be honest, are lines like "Leonardo leads, Donatello does Machines", "They're heroes in a half shell and they're green", "When the evil Shredder attacks These turtle boys don't cut him no slack" any better? Or "The good guys win and the bad guys lose" for that matter? |

I ABSOLUTELY love it. And I loved the second version during seasons four and five even more than the original that aired during the first three seasons.

I enjoyed it as a kid. The visual look of the opening was pretty cool.

I do love the 4Kids theme song as well. It's the best one, in my opinion. There's just something about it that makes it stand out for me.

Bullsh*t, I have never once seen this opinion, let alone "consensus".

This being the show I grew up with, I love the theme song. No idea where you got the idea people don't like it as much. It's not as iconic in pop culture as the OT's theme song that's for sure but it's certainly a good theme song.

You can probably dig up old threads from this very forum seeing people complain about it. |

Yeah, really "hard" to follow on a song with lyrics like "They're heroes in a half shell and they're green".

I like the lyrics.
The music is catchy but its not as catchy as the original theme. I actually like the Japanese dub themes for the 2003 series - seems to fit well with it. Reminds me of naruto... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyF1oEQnOa4 My favorite ending theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NccABOjDdY8 |

Maybe not the lyrics, but just the overall sound of it. It's a classic epic theme song and has an unforgettable sound to it alongside other immortal cartoon theme songs like Thundercats and Transformers. It makes the 'One! Two! Three! Four! Garbage sound like a song that might be cool and edgy at the time, but lame and outdated a year or so later.

signature music
I created a similair thread, "Favourite TMNT signature music?", where you can vote for your favourite. I also prefer the 2003-2009 signature music (for seasons 1-5).

2003–2009
The 2003–2009 signature song is the best, but I like all signature songs, including Next Mutation, except the 2012 one. The 2012 one feels like a forced way to recreate the original.
