Coming Out of Their Shells Music - Page 2

~~Leo656~~ · 07-14-2013, 12:35 PM

I always liked "Count On Us" the best. I have a soft spot for "Tubin'" but it's just a little too corny. "No Treaties" is surprisingly decent for a "fake" song on a "fake" record. Basically, I liked the more songs that were more rock, because they were the best at maintaining the illusion of the record. The rap and dance/funk songs were a little too self-referencing for me; they went a little too far into "Yes, this is all a very bad joke" category. I get that was the entire point of the project, but since some of the songs are actually decent it kind of makes me look down on the others more than I might otherwise.

The stage show was indeed more cheesy than anything ever invented, but it was great for kids. Sadly, the album gets way more hate than it deserves based on the live show being so cheaply-done. I thought it was one of the most clever merchandising gimmicks ever thought up, even if it was a little nonsensical ("They don't even have enough fingers to play their instruments!" a cynic would say. "Donnie modified them you silly bastard, stop thinking so hard!" I would reply). They literally did everything else possible with TMNT back then. An album and concert tour? Why the f*ck NOT? I thought it was awesome.

I still have the program magazine from Pizza Hut. Very glad I never gave in to temptation and cut out that paper Turtles mask on the back of it.

I really dug the poster that came with it.

Speaking of TMNT in music, Lil Wayne's new song "Rich as F#%" gives a shout out to Master Splinter in the second verse.

I HATE Lil Wayne, but it's funny to see how he puts TMNT references in his songs.

as i have said many many times...went to this show as a kid..and now i cosplay as Mikey from this tour...i LOVE Pizza Power...it is never deleted from my ipod and sometimes its even my ringtone

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 07-14-2013, 04:38 PM

Well, it's a toss-up for me, but I voted for Sing About It. It's a great stand-alone song, and it's one of the better ones on the album. My other choice was No Treaties, though skipping Stones is another favorite from that album. I never got it when I was a kid, but I had a friend who had it, and I had her dub me a copy on a blank cassette. To this day, I still have that cassette- and it still plays! It also has several favorites from all three movie soundtracks on it. I named it my Turtle Power mix, LOL!!! (And I still listen to some of those tunes on my mp3 even now!)

I just now discovered that "Pizza Power" was in the original arcade, and that there even was an arcade of Turtles in Time (thought it was just a SNES game)! Oddly enough tho, I instantly recognized the instrumental music of "Pizza Power" in the SNES version. I guess that's the other reason why I picked that as my fav song in the poll. But it is hard to choose. The concert version of "Coming Out of Our Shells" was good, "No Treaties" was good, and "Count on Us" was VERY good. Btw, anyone ever notice how in the concert version, you can hear "Skipping Stones" background music on Shredder's song, "I Hate Music"?

DonatelloNinja82 · 07-28-2013, 07:06 PM

I chose "Count on Us". It was always one of my favorites. I like "Cowabunga" too, although I feel Raph got shafted in that song and thats why its not my favorite. The other three got cool verses and his is just...blah. He's not even my fave turtle, either...I just feel they could have said more about him there.

Lisardo · 07-29-2013, 12:40 AM

Who sung in Pizza Power btw? I know part of it's Raph and Mike, but I swear I hear/saw Donny singing there too.

ryukenden · 07-29-2013, 11:08 AM

Count On Us and Pizza Power are the only songs I could tolerate.

Raph sings lead. If Don's in there at all, "they don't even come to the test, dude" must be his only line.

So, I had to go with "Count On Us" because as a kid in first grade me and a bunch of the other guys got to be in a talent show dressed as the Turtles with cardboard shells and instruments and that's the song we were "playing". They even let us wear our costumes all day during class. Kind of an awesome moment.

I saw this musical and it was very funny. Although Baxter is Shredder's servant (He told him master as in FW cartoons), Baxter doesn't receive cruel treatment, all is playing by laugh. Shredder tried to destroy the music.

Interesting how he's just Baxter the human, not the fly. Which is fine by me honestly. I would have loved to see more human-Baxter as Shredder's assistant for longer, instead of becoming the fly right away.

Gin Rummy · 08-02-2013, 02:17 PM

Pizza Power. Because it was in Turtles in Time Arcade.

Lord Nightwalker · 08-02-2013, 02:24 PM

I don't have a favorite. This thread reminds me of the "hardcore ninja turtles" video I found on utube a few years back. *smiles*

NeonTurtledude · 08-11-2022, 05:58 PM

Pizza Power is catchy and I love the version from Turtles in Time

April's Ballad sounds great (fitting since her actress did some broadway work)

Count on Us reminds me of Bon Jovi's songs and I like the guitar work, it's a good conclusion song

Coming out of our shells and No Treaties also have good guitar sounds and vocals.

Walk Straight is good

and....I quite like Cowabunga, I know it's very cheesy but I really like the instrumentals

Skipping Stones is good but the guy playing Splinter doesn't sound like him.

there's also Shredder's I hate music song which would be good if it wasn't so repetitive in the lyrics

Follow your Heart is quite good

if I had to pick a favourite, I guess Count on Us,Cowabunga,Pizza Power,No Treaties,Walk Straight,Follow Your Heart and April's Ballad

There was one song that didn't make it onto the album. I wonder why.
