Pretty short, I have yet to get into the feeling of the song and it's over. This can't be offiical...right?

Well at least it has good production value.

What the hell is this? If I was to name and shame the worst song contributed to a feature length Turtles film, this would be it.

*Powder* · 08-05-2014, 04:22 PM

Yeah, that was super lame. I managed to finish it, but not without cringing the entire time.

That song was LAME with a capital L.

Yeah, didn't really like it. Kind of reminds me of the Street Fighter IV opening song though. XD

I actually liked Shell shocked better and not usually much for that sort of music.

lol...i think its really bad. i do.

buuuut...

on my way to work this morning i was jammin a lot of ron wasserman OG power ranger music. some of that stuff is cheesy as hell, but still fun. (granted some of it could pass for "legit" rock, where this pentatonix thing is really just kinda pandering).

my point is, i started watching the video ready to roll my eyes, but after a few seconds i kinda felt the same way i do about other "fandom themed" music; doomed to be cheesy, but some people will prolly find something of worth in it. (i have a feeling the nick tmnt tumblr crowd will love it.) i def give it more of a pass than i do shell shocked, tho, even if i'd jam shell shocked more "seriously" than this.

i've only heard this once, and i prolly won't actively look to listen to it again unless i get the soundtrack, but i can see how some people would like it (even in just a nerdy fan way.)

I admit without shame I like it

, it's a fun little thing. Having looked up the group and figured out what they were about before this video posted prob helped. Or that I'm just a woman in my 30s. lol

Had the writers of a chunk of Shell Shocked's lyrics even considered taking the angle that these people did I'd probably feel differently about Shell Shocked. That is, like this silly little video, write in a way that sounds like it's from the Turtles themselves and finding their place in the world as heroes.

We are ninjas, we are Turtles, we will save the day
we are someday gonna be the ones who lead the way

Time has finally come for us to be the greatest
cuz(?) heroes aren't born, they're created

Ok, so it's not some big bad gritty song to go along with the look of giant, gnarly man Turtles in an epic blockbuster... but it's a feel good goofy song that I think the loveable dork side of the Turtles might have been into a few of those pro-Turtle lines.

One question though: 0:29 when that girl starts singing... what is she even saying?

That might be the worst thing I've ever seen.

If I'm not mistaken, something along the lines of 'slow and steady does not win the race'.
