Ninja Turtles Musical Writers: Contact help!

~~Vegita-San~~ · 02-25-2009, 07:24 PM

Chuck Lorre and Dennis C Brown are now working on the Big Bang Theory for CBS. Chuck wrote most of the music for the classic Ninja Turtles series, and both worked on the theme songs.

I've been trying to get in contact with these guys to see if they have any clean copies of the scores available, but my Google skills are not what they used to be.

If anyone can find a blog, a personal website, email, etc for either of them, it is MOST appreciated.

Everything I've tried has turned up dry...

Thanks!
Neil

REALLY wishing he bought that Batman: Animated Series sound track while he had the chance..

First thing I found. Sadly, no contact info I could locate. Registrar for the website comes up blank

I wasn't able to find too much for Dennis C. Brown, but here is Chuck Lorre's Facebook account. Also, here is a short article about Chuck Lorre that claims that he not only composed the original theme song, but also performed all of the vocals (including the quotes from the Turtles throughout the song).

Additionally, you might want to look through this thread from a couple years back about the same subject. It also brings up the fact that the rights to the cartoon soundtrack may still be owned by MWS/Fred Wolf Films if they're still around (or Lionsgate if they're not).

There's also a Fred Wolf in Dublin according to Wiki.

You gotta check out their history. They did animated porno films for playboy.

Really? Because the Turtle voices always sounded like Barry Gordon to me...

YES! I've also wondered why they didn't put out a soundtrack to the classic TMNT series. It was just begging for it.

There are so many songs "cues" that help define what's going on in the show. This year would be the perfect time to release it too.

Also, I've been dying to know if the music (besides the main theme) were recorded in stereo or not.

In fact, here's just a short list of "music cues" I can recall from the series:

- Turtles to the Rescue (when they are stopping whatever bad guy)
- Technodrome Theme
- Splinter's Theme
- Channel 6 Theme
- Bebop and Rocksteady Theme
- Krang Theme
- Neutrinos Theme
- Rat King Theme
- Snow/Winter Theme
- Arcade/Funhouse Theme
- Bad Bikers Theme
- Sewer Theme
- Bad Guy Is Revealed
- Video Game Theme (Rex-1, Mike's video game)

That's just from the top of my head. Short samples would probably be helpful too if someone wants to post them.

I know I'm missing a bunch, please post more if you know some!

That puts a whole new light on the company for me. Creepy to think these are the same people who drew the Turtles.

And I never knew they had a had in Ducktales. Awesome!
