Which TMNT incarnation has your favourite theme song? - Page 3

RaphAndDonnie · 08-12-2013, 06:20 PM

OT theme, hands down. It's very catchy and memorable. My second is the 2012 theme, since it's a remix of the OT theme and a rap. My third is the 2k3 theme.

Trivia · 08-12-2013, 06:36 PM

Depends on my mood. (Yes, really)
The 1987 version is really catchy though + it's a classic.
I'd say either OT or any from 2k3. It's not that I hate 2k12,
but it's just not one of those songs catchy enough to stick to your mind for very long.

RiseAbove873 · 08-12-2013, 07:46 PM

Definitely the original cartoon's! The others don't even come close!

~~Mew~~ · 01-08-2015, 05:19 PM

Probably 2k12.
Its quite nice.

The 4Kids theme does have a special place in my heart, even though I know it's not very good.

The Fred Wolf theme is pretty catchy, but despite what a lot of people will say, like with the 4Kids theme it's technically not a good song.

The themes from the 2007 and 2014 movies are pretty generic, it really should have been better.

Fastforward, Back to the Sewer and Next Mutation had really awful theme songs.

I really like the theme from the 1990 movie though, seems really fitting.

Edit: I almost forgot, the Nick theme, not a fan of of rap and I think the rhythm is too slow at the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" part.

While I have a nostalgic fondness for the original theme(s) & think they're rockin', I gotta say my favorite is Back To The Sewers, it really gets the blood flowing.

It is upbeat, indeed. But I think Fast Forward's is better as a whole.

As far as the cartoons go, I've gotta give it to the original overall, but BttS is easily the best 2003 series theme. By a lot.

But my personal favourite might have to be this:

Then again... it was a thinly-veiled ripoff, or so I've heard?

Eurydemus · 01-08-2015, 10:36 PM

I like the original 2K3 theme and Fast Forward's is pretty catchy, too (though I'm indifferent to Back to the Sewer's). The OT's is great for that hint of nostalgia and the 2012 theme is a nice re-mix, but the one I've really come to enjoy is the 2012 Japanese opening.

Of what, exactly? Other video game music, or an actual song? I know the OG NES game has at leeeast one rip-off, that being of Come Together by The Beatles.

Gunpowder · 01-09-2015, 04:38 AM

I like the 2k3 opening the most, but nostalgia probably has something to do with that. Truth be told, I'm actually not that big a fan of 2012's theme...but it's grown on me at least somewhat by now.

*Shark_Blade* · 01-09-2015, 05:27 AM

OT is the most iconic and legendary song.

Though for current taste, 2k12 is the best one yet!

2k14 movie opening theme is epic too!

Actual song. I want to say a '70s or '80s rock song, but I just can't seem to remember which song or where I heard about it. "Rip-off" might be overstating it a bit, but they sounded pretty similar as I recall.

EDIT: FOUND IT. "Stone Cold Crazy" by Queen:

That repeating guitar riff is really similar.

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 01-11-2015, 09:00 PM

I think the 2012 theme might be my favorite. I think it's an improvement over the original theme.

My least favorite is the 2003 theme. It mostly just sounds like yelling to me and not a song.

Donny's computer84 · 01-11-2015, 11:28 PM

The original series theme song

~~Leo656~~ · 01-12-2015, 08:45 AM

Honestly they're all various ranges from "Corny" to "Crummy" but the original cartoon has to be the least offensive, and it is iconic.

Not a huge fan of the Nick show's rap remix. Mostly because "Do It With Rap!" has been shorthand for "lazy attempt to make something Modern and Hip" for over 20 years now and I can't believe people still go for it. It's just such a lazy, predictable thing to do.

The 2K3 show could have had an awesome theme if it wasn't for the awful, horrible lyrics. "1! 2! 3! 4!" Yes, there's four of them. We Know.

syk_skillz · 01-12-2015, 09:19 AM

1) 1987
2) 2012
3) 2003: BttS
4) 1987: Red Sky
5) Next Mutation
6) 2003
7) 2003: FF

Donnieangelo · 01-12-2015, 02:09 PM

I guess I like the songs that you had to pick as the theme for Back To The Sewer.

B-Man · 01-12-2015, 02:30 PM

Original 80's theme. I find it hard to sit or stand still whenever hearing it

The 2003 one is too loud & manic. The 2012 one is the only thing I don't like about the show. Sounds cheap. I skip past it every time. Wonder when they'll finally change up the theme/title sequence.

Azul35 · 01-12-2015, 04:41 PM

I'll be very honest here, I Like almost ALL theme songs of TMNT, with the exception of Fast Foward, but all the others have something that always keep me hyped. It's maybe due to my huge musical taste.
But, if I need to pick one, it's the Fred Wolf version.
