New theme song

[Donatello19]

Ok here are the lyrics to the new song

Teenage mutant ninja turtles (3 times)
Heroes in a half shell, turtle power!
here we go it's the lean green ninja team
on the scene their teens doing ninja things
so extreme out the sewer like laser beams
get rocked with the shell shock pizza kings
can't stop these radical dudes
the secret of the ooze .................
emerge from the shadows to make their move
the good guys win and the bad guys lose
Leonardo's the leader in blue, does anything it takes to get his ninjas through
Donatello is a fellow has a way with machines
Raphael's got the most attitude on the team
Michelangelo! he's one of a kind, and you'll know where to find him when it's party time, Master Splinter taught them every single skill they need, to be one lean mean green fighting machine
Teenage mutant ninja turtles (3 times)
Heroes in a half shell, Turtle Power!

Quick Google:

In kendo, when we say "onegai shimasu", we are saying "I ask you to train with me." or "Please train with me."

in this case, it's like, "pleased to meet/face you"

couldn't hear what Splinter said


lyrics (as closest as I could get)

Here we Go! It's the lean green ninja team
On the scene, cool teens doing any thing
So extreme, up the sewers like a laser beam
get rocked with the shell shock pizza kings
Can't stop these radical dudes
The secret of the ooze, make a chosen few
emerge from the shadows to make their move
The good guys win and the bad guys loose

Leonardo is the leader in blue, does anything it takes to get his ninjas through
Donatello is the fellow, has the way with machines
Raphael has the most attitude on the team
Michealangelo he is one of a kind, and you know where to find him when it's party time
Master Splinter taught them every single skill that they need
to be one mean, lean, green team fighting machine

I was pretty impressed by the clip we got, I really got sucked in and then I realized it ended....so quickly.

I didn't enjoy the theme song though.... didn't enjoy that much, but I loved the homage to Tmnt between the ending mimicking issue 1 and "Heroes in a half shell"

It's a Japanese expression meant to show respect before a contest of strength or skill as well.

its really a context thing...u have to understand the culture coz its hard to translate it into anything in english at all...

Just saw the Opening video and the Training clip. I think the Opening is good, if you consider the target audience... I really liked the lil sketchy pictures of the turtles (a lot like the animatic we originally saw a couple years ago). Did Anyone notice Splinter's eyes were glowing RED in the very beginning?

The training clip was fantastic. I don't personally care of some of the anime touches, BUT.... I do like the action movements in the training clip. No slapstick physical 'stooge-fu', you could say. Raphael's voice really fits him - he's not the forty-year-old chainsmoker we met in 2K3.

And Splinter is one evil bugger... I can't wait to see what he puts the boys through. He looks so HUGE... it must be part of the camera angle that they used in this clip.

I like the music itself, and the chorus, but not the rapping. It's both too simple to have appeal, and subsequently too boring to be memorable.

The visuals though, fantastic.

& the clip, I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. It kicks ass.

[Slade]

I listen to rap (older stuff though, nothing that comes on the radio nowdays) and I honestly don't care for the theme song. Really I never do care for hip hop cartoon theme songs anyway. But so oh well. Reading what some wrote down for the lyrics, I can see a resemblance to the OT lyrics.

It's definitely simplistic and uninteresting. I suspect it could have worked better backed by some heavy drums, though. Not necessarily a lot better, but enough to not fall completely flat. Minimal rap like that requires a really strong percussive crutch.

so far of all the nick turtles info revealed the new theme song is by far the low point for me. all i care about is if the show is good though.

[Mr.Turtle]

its better than the ops in the past and i really dig the 3D/2D switch style. i think the song is a bit too long tho.

[voltron80]

I can't wait for the show, already cleaning out the DVR so the only things I'll be watching is the Ricky Gervais show and the new Turtles series. They look pretty good and I like they're going for that Teen Titans look with the anime reactions. As for the theme catchy as hell nice mix of classic series, their own thing and paying tribute to TMNT #1's cover. Only nitpick I kinda miss the matching color wraps they had on their weapons from the 4Kids era. Splinter is tall but hey it's something different.
Other than that I really hope the show catches on and the Turtles can enjoy another long run on tv.. As a person who likes rap I've always said to each its own with that said, there are some forms of rock(cough current) is to music as Dan is to the Street Fighter universe.

I've just finished watching it and digesting everything. I've come to the conclusion that everything about it is awesome. I even love the theme song.

i dont miss the muti color weapons that much. i think this way looks more realistic.

Man, those clips were very enjoyable.

Usually the whole "anime-reaction" stuff turns me off (Like it did in Teen Titans and the similar stuff they're doing in Ultimate Spider-Man.) but it doesn't here. How odd. It might be the ultra-stylized, street graffiti-esque look of the show that makes it easier to swallow.

It is weird to hear OT Raph's voice coming out of Donny's mouth. That'll take some time to get used to.

As for the theme song: eh, not bad. The rap stuff is entirely disposable but the bookend lyrics sound great. The visuals are very nice looking, though! I'd rank it above the 2K3 stuff but below the original opening.

It looks like this'll be a really fun show to watch. Here's hoping the rest of the show is as good as those clips are.

[Spitfire]

Not impressed with the intro.

[Mr.Turtle]

the music is not that impressive but the pictures r pretty good.
