What about Music? - Page 4

I've never heard that song, but the lyrics sound really fitting. Cool!

Definitely my favorite of the ideas put forth.

As much as I love the 80s, and 80s music.... the new movie is NOT from the 80s, and having that kind of anarchronismn would just be WEIRD.

Although I also don't really want to be hearing current pop music in it........even songs I like. It just...doesn't fit the TMNT to me. I can't imagine hearing trash rap, or Evanescence, or Linkin Park...gah... and I like them (at least the last two ;p ) but...just....no. I think I'd rather here stuff from a fairly unknown artist, something newly written, or something ONLY insturmental...no or few lyrics.

I kinda like the idea of starting the movie with the original theme song....but that might hit on the prejudice of those people who idolize the old show and hate everything that isn't it. But I dunno... it'd be cool if it started with at least the cords of that, and if the end credits were to the whole version. We'd all be dancing out of the theaters!

I dunno, besides the Turtles being genuine '80s material, haven't you noticed that the '80s are coming back? Perhaps not in music (alas...) as much as everything else, but I don't think it would be that weird.

I agree wholeheartedly on your favorite idea though. If only I could come up with scores!

Ehhh.... there are certain 80s things that are part of the retro trend, but I wouldn't say the 80s is coming back so much as some things (like TMNT) are regaining some popularity. And while the TMNT are from the 80s in their way, the new movie isn't being made in the 80s. And the music in the original movies really does date them. Something timeless would be cool, especially in terms of background music.

I was thinking the other day though, while I'd rather there not be lyrics in the background sounds... if one of the guys is listening to a stereo or something, definitely lyrics and music from any period that fits them... I could see Mikey listening to 80s stuff

cheesy dance 80s!

But I'd still want to aviod the megastars....we don't need another Vanilla Ice incident >_> even though 2 is the only reason I have any liking for him at all!

*shudder* Never any TMNT movie but the first, and yet I have my own reasons for disliking Vanilla Ice. I'm with you 100% on keeping megastars out of this.

Dated? Aww, I like it that way. And yet "timeless" would indeed be a great way to go. Something like Star Wars in style, perhaps... but tailored to fit the Turtles.

Ermmm... And what would be if they made a cover of the classic theme song for the new movie's purpose? Same lyrics, same melody and rhytm but fresher arrangement?

Like the old cartoon theme? Absolutely. Actually... I wish they'd done that for the new toon theme. I have to turn the TV off until the new theme is over.

I love the datedness of the first movies... but that time period is a lot more endearing to me than the current one ;p especially musicwise. Weeell..okay some of that music I could have done without >_>

A cover of it could be really cool, if it was well done. But you know there'll be old toon purists who whine and whine about how it's not exactly like the original ;p but oh well. A cover would be neat.
