French theme song

*Sewer Bull* · 09-03-2006, 01:47 PM

If you haven't heard the French version of the new show intro song - I've just found it on the net:

Neat singing. So typically French.

*Ecto Jedi* · 09-03-2006, 02:20 PM

Ugh...That was painful to hear.

*DrSpengler* · 09-03-2006, 02:23 PM

It's actually on the main site:

http://www.thetechnodrome.com/dl/2cc...nt_frtheme.wav

But yeah, it's a good version of the theme. I still liked the German version best, though. It sounded so evil.

*iris* · 09-03-2006, 02:32 PM

Wow. That was... emphatic.

I could only understand some of the lyrics... and I'm pretty sure they're not saying what I THINK they're saying. Who here is francophone?

oooh... I wanna hear the German one.

I think you misunderstood me, DrSpengler. You posted the link to the old show theme. And I posted to the 2003 one.

But yeah, the old French version is still a little funny treat to my ears. Not mentioning the German one.

Or Russian.

*DrSpengler* · 09-03-2006, 03:09 PM

Gah! Sorry.

But yeah, the Russian one sounds like some guy singing it in his garage (awesome).

*cowabunga14* · 09-03-2006, 04:22 PM

I thought this was pretty neat. At least I was able to understand some of it and it sounded more elegant than the English version.

Fear not, your resident Francophone has arrived.

Would you like me to translate the song?

Yeah, the German version was absolutely hilarious -- I especially liked the ending. (Sounded kinda vulgar, didn't it?)

My hero.

I was hoping for a transcription.

Sliced · 09-03-2006, 08:27 PM

Yeah I always liked this version, I dunno why. I like it almost as much as I like the english one. For once, they didn't totally destroyed it in french, as they normally do ...

Although the song is ok in french, I can't really say the same for the voices. Oh jeez no ! I think Ecto Jedi (if you saw some episodes in french) will agree with me

I'll try to find some examples...

*Raph's Girl* · 09-03-2006, 08:55 PM

Ooh.. That French version sounded good.

Ah...the old series German version...I remember it well...going to my German neighbors house and watching it....laughing that the same guy voiced all 4 turtles... Ah...those were the days....

So...where's the new series German version? Heck where's the Russian? I believe I've heard the Spanish version...

...And here come the Ninja Turtles! (in French the word Turtles comes before Ninja, e.i. Tortues Ninja, but you didn't need to know that.)

Alright, let's try this again...

...And here come the Ninja Turtles!
We can count on them!
1, 2, 3, 4 (un, deux, trois, quatre)

Turtles! Creatures of mutation...
Turtles! Living in the sewers...
Turtles! They're the kings of action...
Turtles! They're always ready for anything.

We can count on them!
One! Obey our martial arts code...
Two! Fight only when it is a legitimate defense...
Three! Use force when it is necessary...
Four! But they do sometimes lose patience...(!)

We are proud...(We are proud...) We are proud...
Proud to be Ninja Turtles! (We can count on them!)
1, 2, 3, 4
Their worst enemy...
Beware of Shredder!
(I can't understand the next line -- sorry. And, finally...)
United like brothers!
And here come the Ninja Turtles!

Funny, no Teenage Mutant in the French title. Hmm...In any event, as you can see, when it is literally translated, it kind of loses something.

Still, at least now you know exactly what they're saying!

I'd love to watch some TMNT episodes in French. The French dubbed movies and series always amuse me.

This line sounds like "Ils sont téméraires" ("They are bold") to my ears, but I'm not 100% sure.

Yup, that's it. Or you could say rash or maybe reckless...

I'm still searching for some episodes in french, should find some pretty soon. Although for now, I only found the old toon theme song...

Now that you mention it, that does sound like it. That's probably what it is.

Merci beaucoup.

Ecto Jedi, vu que tu parles français, pourrais-tu me dire quelles sont tes opinions sur les voix des Tortues et de Splinter?

Même si je suis pas Ecto, je veux répondre

La voix de splinter est pas mal, mais celles des tortues ! Seigneur... Pas les pires voix française que j'ai entendues, mais reste que c'est pas les meilleures non plus... Je crois que Leo a peut-être la voix la plus supportable, avec Don.

OK, sorry for this, back to our regular english programming.
