This has been bugging me ever since I watched the old show for the first time in a decade or so. I could swear the theme song is sung by Leonardo's voice actor. I'm almost sure of it. But I can't find any confirmation anywhere...it's not in the credits, and it's not in any of the cast lists anywhere on the net. Can anyone help me out here?

EDIT: Just to specify, I'm referring to the voice singing "Splinter taught them to be ninja teens" and the like. Not the big chorus.

You're right, cam Clarke's voice is distinctly one of the voices in there, but I don't know who else...

I've been wondering about that myself. I wasn't sure if that was Cam or not. Thanks for a bit o' clarification, Nturtle.

I always thought it was Leo's VA too, after listening to it a couple times :)

The distorted voice that sings "heroes in a half shell" is Rob Paulson (Raph). I have a remastered stereo version of the theme where those words aren't distorted. That's how I can tell it's him. That version is really cool. Does anyone know where I could upload it to so as to share it with others?

Maybe if Krang's nice, he'd let you send it to him (so long as it's not MP3)...

Nah, I already asked & he didn't want it (it's mp3). Do you want me to send it to you?

Yea, thx for the confirmation, I thought it was Cam Clarke. I've heard both him and Rob Paulson sing, and hey, not too bad for turtle voices *imagines Leo and Raph singing*

Nah, I already asked & he didn't want it (it's mp3). Do you want me to send it to you?Huh? I never said I didn't want it because it was an MP3. I just didn't put it up since it was very similar to the clips we already have (the non distorted background voices can also be heard in the UK version of the TMNT theme, and the ending theme we have is from the same version you have). I know GK already put it up on his server, but I wanted to clear up any confusion so that people don't think that I don't accept MP3s (and yes, our host doesn't allow MP3s, but I can convert them to WAVs).

ok, I apoligize then. It's the server's fault, not your's. It's just been a while since I asked you so I guess I forgot. Again, I apoligize.

Yeah I had heard somewhere that Cam Clarke (Leo's VA) had sung the song or part of the song. And I always thought Rob Paulsen (Raph's VA) sung in there too somewhere. Esp. when he said, "Gimmie a break" in the song, I could tell it was him. So I take it Rob at least did all the talking lines in the song. And maybe Cam did the other 'non-chorus' singing lines, lead vocals rather. Not sure tho. Tho Cam does sing professionally, so it's a possilibity. Here's his album:

Also he did the singing voice of Simba for the song, "We Are One" in The Lion King 2.
