Lyrics to Ninja Turtles:TNM ?

Jason · 10-10-2002, 02:53 PM

I was wondering if anyone knew the lyrics to opening credits of Ninja Turtles:TNM ?
I've posted the lyrics to Hero Turtles:TNM (there may be some errors)
and I was wondering if the US version was the same (apart from the Ninja/Hero thing)
Are all the other lines correct ?
Does anyone know where I can get a sound clip of the US version ?

Here is what I *think* the lyrics are:

Four Green turtles
Heard the news
Changed by mutant ooze

Found a floor
Raised by rat
Now they're heros
How about that ?

Check it out
Another one found
Made her way to China Town
With the rest
Yeah that makes five
Hero Turtles now they're live !

Na na na na, na na, Hero, Hero Turtles !
Na na na na, na na, Hero, Hero Turtles !

Oh one last thing is it true everyone hates The Next Mutation ?

~Thanks to anyone who can help~

I think it's pretty much the same, except that the word 'hero' is 'ninja'.

And yeah, most people think it TNM stunk. It was painfully corny. Don't get me wrong, it had it's moments, but overall it had A LOT of room for improvement.

Oh, and let me welcome you to The Technodrome! *hands Jason a mango of welcome* You'll probably get a lot of these. Why? You'll understand in time, young grasshopper.

Just don't let the craziness scare ya.

I have seen only clips of it but i get the idea. It is basicly a Power Rangers ripp off. The sound effects suck, Fift turtle? Please... And shredder, *Sigh* Just like that red arch enemy from the power rangers... They eve look similiar. Well I think little kids liked it, hell they even watched power ranger seriously, But that is the part of tmnt history that could have give a bad meaning for the word TMNT. Some people might remember how the Next Mutation sucked and never watch the new show... I hope that this wouldnt happen but it might.

Well Peter Laird has said that he pretty much hated the Next Mutation and Now that he's in lead of things, He will make sure that nothing like that wont ever be released under the name of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

TA-DA!

And I'm sorry to hear you only know the lyrics to TMHT (damn the British censors)...

Thanks for posting that link.
I noticed that the US theme was a full 60 seconds while the UK version is only 30 seconds and a lot of the lines were changed not just hero/ninja part.

I personally only thought that only the word Ninja was taken out but in the 3rd verse the UK version has quite a few differences.
I wonder why they did that ....

On the end credits they have that other song. On some episodes the guy sings "Hero turtles" other times he says "Ninja Turtles" so in that way I've heard both versions of the end theme; but it's always
Hero Turtles on the opening credits music.

This is the way it should be
And its even longer, with a second couplet

Four Green turtles
Heard the news
Changed into mutants by an ooze

Found on the floor
Raised by a rat
Now they're heroes
How 'bout that ?

Check it out
Another one found
Made her way to China Town
With the rest yeah
That makes five
Hero Turtles are alive !

Na na na na, na na, na na Hero Turtles !
Na na na na, na na, na na Hero Turtles !
