Songs that fit the Nick Ninja Turtles Cast
 

Have you have any moments where you have heard a song and automatically you think, this sounds like something that would fit Leo, or some other character.

So what songs do you feel fit your favorite characters and why?

One song that comes to mind for me is the song "When you say nothing at all."

It's a song that fits April and/or Donnie and their friendship. Particularly the chorus, because they do have an appreciation for one another that doesn't need to be expressed in words. And it's the moments where Donnie isn't blatantly crushing on April...where they are just caring for each other just as friends that they really shine.

Happy by Pharell Williams would fit Michelangelo.

"Brave" by Sara Bareilles for Leo during the Fungus Humongous episode.

"Roar" by Katy Perry for either Raph or Leo.

"Happy" by Pharell Williams for Mikey.

"Give Me A Reason" by P!nk and Nate Ruess for April and Donnie.

"Toxic" by Britney Spears for Leo and Karai.

Probably "We are one" by 12 Stones. It fits the team as a whole.

Quite a few for me.

One Step Closer from Linkin Park, and Raphael always comes to mind in an instant. (As most Linkin Park songs tend to do)

Thanks to Nick's teasing with Donnie and April, everytime I hear Listen to Your Heart from Roxette or Wrecking Ball from Cyrus, I think of them.

All About Us from Tatu always reminds me of the team and brotherhood dynamic of the foursome.

Fight For Your Right to Party from The Beastie Boys, Michelangelo always comes to mind.

A good song is that fits both Donnie and Mikey is the Glee original song "Loser like me."

Actually, I think "Loser Like Me" fits all of them based on the fact that they're all ousted from society because of who they are and how people would judge them for that. I know I always think of all of them when I listen to that song.

Another Glee original song is "Get It Right" which fits for Leo because he always wants to do the right thing.

I actually thought "Loser Like Me" fit Donnie and Mikey, because there are times where they are brushed aside as weaker fighters by Leo and Raph. This still happens, but to a lesser extent then season one. Heck Donnie at one point even states it's his thing to take on all the family abuse and stuff.

And the whole thing about Loser Like Me is it says
"Yeah, you may see me as a loser now. But one day, I will surpass you and then you'll be sorry."


I do agree with you that it fits the Turtles as a whole because they are brushed aside by society because of what they are. They aren't heroes because they want glory. They are heroes because they feel it's the right thing to do. But few to no people see them as Heroes because they are too busy seeing them as a bunch of ugly mutant freaks.

"Getting it Right" Does fit Leo. But it also fits Donnie, everything Donnie creates or does is done with the best of intentions for his family, for April, for innocent people. Unfortunately his good intentions do come back to bite him at times (Pulverizer), or they fall apart (Patrol Buggy), fall into enemy hands (T-pod, Metalhead), or nearly result in his family or a family member being seriously injured (Attempts at Retromutagen).

Another original song used on Glee is the song Outcast and that definitely fit's the Turtles and anyone associated with them, humans and mutants alike. After all both April and Casey are more fringes of society not main stream.

For April-Derp.

Somewhat

I think you mean this.

Yeah. That's it.

VA, I totally agree with you about "Outcast." When I first heard that song, I immediately thought of TMNT. I wish they had put it out with one of the soundtracks as I liked that song.

Raph - Kickstart My Heart (Motley Crue) - I think you could interchange Casey with Raph though
Donnie - Ticket Outta Loserville (Son Of Dork) - Pretty much sums up Apriltello. If we're not into Apriltello, then go with the Big Bang Theory theme by Barenaked Ladies.
Mikey - The Benny Hill Theme
Leonardo - Where My Heart Will Take Me (Russell Watson) - you might know this as the theme for Star Trek Enterprise, which was the prequel to Kirk's era.

Huh, I wonder how many here remember that stuff. And maybe I'm Alright from Kenny Loggins might fit him.

Actually, the title of that song is Faith of the Heart, and it was originally by Rod Stewart.


I think Walk in the Shadows by Queensryche fits the boys as a whole.
The Monster is Loose or Life Is a Lemon (And I want My Money Back) both by Meat Loaf, fit Raph.
Party With the Animals by Ozzy Osbourne is a good one for Mikey.
Donnie is easy- She Blinded Me With Science!
Never Say Die by Bon Jovi fits both Leo, and all four of them.

I always thought this would fit Raphael very well.




*Some of the Lyrics*

You're taking a chance, risking it all
For the thrill of the moment
Taking a stand, you ain't gonna fall
You've always known it
They're dying to shake you,
Trying their best to break you
And though the going is rough, you're going home as a hero

'Cause there's thunder in your heart
Every move is like a lightning
It's the power you feel when you get your taste of the glory
There's a fire gonna start
And you know they're going under
You can light the dark when they hear your heart of thunder.

Cry of the wind, spirit of fire
The heart of a lion
Taking control, burning desire
Your flame never dying

Don't lose that feeling
Don't ever stop believing
There's one more moment of truth and you're gonna face it

'Cause there's thunder in your heart
Every move is like a lightning
It's the power you feel when you get your taste of the glory
There's a fire gonna start
and you know they're going under
you can light the dark when they hear your heart of thunder.

Woah. Didn't know that was a thing:lol:

i can see this playing in the background while Donnie is working on something.

Mikey's a metal fan definitely.


Leo would probably listen to a lot of classic rock.

Raph is a tough one, maybe Johny Cash.

Well I'm talking about the Russell version because that's the one I've heard. Rod recorded it, but he didn't write it. It's by Diane Warren.

Yeah, I know- it's off of Rod's Vagabond Heart album. Performed by, was what I meant I know the Enterprise version, too, but I believe the title is still the same. If not, then he should be smacked..... (Renaming a song doesn't make it yours, nor does it make it a "new" song....)

Oh gosh - so many!

My favorite has to be...

"What Lies Beneath" by Breaking Benjamin for Leo and Karai.

Probably because an AMV I watched has those two as the focus and the lyrics match their characters so well. :)
