Worst TMNT theme music - Page 2

Am I the only one that likes the new toon theme?

Next Mutation got my vote, it was just too corny.

*Sewer Bull* · 04-08-2005, 12:44 PM

And why do you like it, Gemdrive?

I part Anarky's view - trendy sport equipment does not fit turtles, besides they probably used it only in one episode after all (the one when Tengu Sword appears for the first time)- so why they are present in the intro?
Especially Leo looks fearsome on his scooter...

I like the new toon theme too! And for some odd reason, I like TNM's theme...don't ask why I just do. It's kinda catchy. And I don't think I've head the Red Sky one due to the fact that I don't watch the old toon.

**Jester** · 04-08-2005, 01:39 PM

yeah...if i had toput them in any order it's be Classic, Red sky, New Toon, NM...but that's my rating...Classic may be mainly nestalgia....i didn't like the new toon intro at first but it's catchy...the lyrics could use work but the music is cool...

marleynaki · 04-08-2005, 03:24 PM

i like more the song of the old toon

The worst one for me would have to be Ninja Turtles: TNM, followed closely by the new TMNT series theme.

I mean honestly.... BLEH! I do hope that they change it to something much better in the next season.

TMNT: Red Sky was ok...

My favorite and ultamite BEST theme is the original TMNT theme! God, I love that theme!

*Anarchistguy* · 04-09-2005, 07:08 AM

I have to go with the new show. I don't like how it's too politically correct, and that scene at the end when they ride their bikes and stuff.

Next Mutation god that bugged me

The easiest thing to do is to say what I don't like. Personally, the 'watch out for shredder' part needs to go, aside from that, the music is nice and the words, although not all of them, are quite applicable to the show in general and who it is aimed at. It is a kids show and even though the TMNT are ninjas they're still what? 15? So why can't they ride on scooters and stuff? And like you say, it is only a short scene and they've only used them once in 'Darkness on the Edge of Town'. I think it all fits the show quite well and it could have been a hell of a lot worse but they've managed to keep it aimed at a kids market and yet not too child-like.

no! of coarse not! the theme is what got me listening for the second time round and made me watch

i personally hated TNM theme. the 'na-na-na-na-Ninja, ninja turtles!' bit was alright, but the rest of it...

the only parts i hate for the new theme is the part where they come zooming in on their bikes, scooters, ect. that is just plain random! the other part i want to kill is 'watch out for Shredder!'. they should have something that ryhmes and sounds good. maybe 'they don't need to wear a sweater'?

i know, it sucks

EDIT

wait a minute, hold the phone here! what the hell is 'Red Sky'?

*Anarky* · 04-09-2005, 05:28 PM

Red Sky are the latest episodes of the old toon. Those two or three series where they replaced Shredder and Krang (including gang) with the other guys like Dregg and Mung. They also had a theme where you saw flashes of the live action version of the TMNT.

Ra · 04-09-2005, 05:40 PM

ah, that's a relief. for a minute there i thought there was another cartoon out there that i didn't know about

many thanks, Anarky

Orochi Chimera · 04-09-2005, 07:23 PM

I don't remember TNM theme but out of the others I'd say the new show. I've gotten used to it but I still don't like it that much.

Lone Wolf · 04-09-2005, 07:43 PM

I have heard all the themes, and while I am not exactly the biggest fan of the old show, it definitely had the best theme music. My favorite was the Red Sky theme, as I loved the more serious and grittier guitar interpretation of the theme.

I love the music and the singer for the theme of the new toon, but as has been mentioned, some of the lyrics are just too damn cheesy. "Never fight unless someone else starts" makes me feel like I am about to watch a cartoon with Barney or some other sing-along character in it. I mean, it started out so cool with "Raised by the code of the martial arts," and then they eviscerated it.

*Garou* · 04-10-2005, 07:25 AM

Well, I've only heard the themes from the new and the old cartoon. I like the new one better, mostly because it's so catchy and has a good beat.

*cowabunga14* · 04-10-2005, 03:52 PM

Next Mutation sounds like some hicks sang it. It also sounds like it was really rushed. Thirty-one seconds is too short for a theme song. It shoulda been at least a minute long. The rhymin' was idiotic and it wasn't very thoughtful.

Huh?

If by "good beat" you mean "beating the composer", I agree...

The new theme is'nt as bad as Next Mutation, but it makes the arguably dark and mature show look like a pre-school cartoon in presentation, the original theme song did'nt insult it's audience, and reminded them it was an action show

ZodiacAngel · 04-10-2005, 05:45 PM

I'm not a big fan of the new toon's theme.

The "Red Sky" theme is okay, I've never heard the theme for "Next Mutation" and I love the old cartoon theme song.

Yes, I was confused by that too...

I can't imagine anyone liking the new series theme over the old series theme.

It's like preffering a Sloppy Joe from a school cafeteria over a gourmet feast prepared by Emeril Lagasse.

donnie'zfan · 04-11-2005, 09:34 AM

WHAT are you guys talking about my bro played it and I think it sucks

no offence but it's true.
