Recently I was listening to my ipod and came across a couple songs that rather reminded me of our dear TMNT boys. I figured I'd start a thread where we could post songs that remind us of tmnt whether it be scenes from the comic/toon, character related songs, etc. :)

Of course we can't post any direct downloads to songs but we can post lyrics and the song title/artist.

Until the Day I Die by Story of the Year
I thought this was a good Leo & Raph song, someone on this forum (forgive me I can't remember who) used the phrase "platonic passion" and I think this suits that well. :)

Just For, Nickelback
Seems like a good "Angry Vigilante" Raph song...

More song recommendations, anyone?

[Raph's Girl]

Everytime I listen to a song I try to imagine if it would fit with the TMNT. Either in a fan fic or the toons/comics/movies. So I have TONS of songs that seem to remind me of the TMNT. Here's some:

Raphael songs:
The Loner By Return
*sings* Im a loner...and I like it that way....

Thin Line By Return

Thin Red Line by Glass Tiger

Brothers by Kenny Loggins

Brother My Brother (from Pokemon)

Casey:
Tough Little Boys by Gary Allen
Altho this could also be a Raphael with offspring song
When tough little boys grow up to be dads...they turn into big babies again.

Dance With My Father by Luthor Vandross

Father and Daughter By Paul Simon (could also be any of the turtles and an offspring)

Songs about Splinter after he died:
The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics

He Lives In You (From Lion King 2)

This is Your Song By Ronan Keating

It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday by Boys II Men

All the turtles:
Shadows of the Night by Pat Benetar

A Heart In NY by Art Garfunkle

[Leonardo's_Girl]

"Savin Me" by Nickelback (Turtles tribute)

"Points of Authority" by Linkin Park (conflicts between Leo and Raph)

"Thoughtless" by Korn (Raph)

"Land of Confusion" by Disturbed (Turtles tribute)

"Holiday" by Green Day (Michelangelo)

"Hero" by Nickelback (Turtles tribute)

"Just Like You" by Three Days Grace (Turtles tribute, esp. Leo and Raph)

"Until the End" by Breaking Benjamin (Turtles tribute)

[Ava Collier]

Don't get me started...seriously. I'll be posting Ava's soundtrack when I feel confident enough to post a thread for her in the fan creations section ^_~

Your use of Linkin Park disturbs me...though I must admit, that's pretty fitting.

[LiuKangChick]

Anyone remember the Nightwatcher scenes from the new TMNT flick? I was listening to the 90s Batman theme and thought that it would be fitting for the scenes.

[Ashangelo]

I always thought My Way by Limpbizkit seemed fitting with the conflicts between Raph and Leo

[Leonardo's_Girl]

"Eye of the Tiger" from the Rocky movie might be well-fitting.

Good call on Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi proves to be a good call every time that call is made.

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

Raph:
Lightning Crashes-from the band Live
Burning Inside-Ministry
It's a Long Road-from the movie "First Blood"
Broken-Scott Stapp


Turtles-Always loved this one song called "Brothers in the Night" from a movie called Uncommon Valor. Both that title and song I thought fit perfectly with the guys.

This one totally cracked me up. X) It's so true!

Love the suggestions so far guys, I'm slowly going through the songs and checking them out. :D

What does that have to do with Raph? that song is a big snore.

"Time to Waste" by Alkaline Trio is a great Leo/Raph song (mostly the new movie) some one has an AMV on youtube with it.

XD BWAHA! "She blinded me with science, and failed me in biology"
Oh man...the mental images will keep me going all day.

I'd kinda like to do a video for Master Splinter, and the boys to "Cats in the cradle"...the Ugly Kid Joe version being my favorite. Too bad I only have season four of 2k3 >.<

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

Just wanted to clarify why I chose "Lightning Crashes" by Live for Raph.

ToTheNines never thought of it as a big snore lol...always got me pumped up, but if you think so that's cool too

Anyway the reason I picked it for Raph cause when I hear that song, I always think of Raphael's inner struggle with his anger. How his anger can be a slow boil, and the song itself starts slow. But then the song starts picking up speed as it goes along, as I think Raph's anger does also until it is ready to explode. And then song at the end explodes into a much faster, more pumped up rock and roll ballad...and I think that's when Raph lets it all out, his built up aggresion unleashed.

Lyric from the song:

"I can feel it comin' back again
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it."

I know it's a big stretch lol. But I hear that and think...Raph is feeling his emotions building, his anger coming back to him and rising inside him until it's ready to be released. And either Raph realizes how to use it effectively, or learn to stop it altogether. Like I said before, a big stretch but lol just wanted to clarify as to why i chose it hehe.

[ToTheNines]

Isn't it about a baby being born?

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

If it is I certainly never knew . I guess with some, songs can be open for interpretation.

Some more additions:

Iris from Goo Goo Dolls

You're the Best from Karate Kid (I just think Mikey has this song in his head when he thinks "I'm the Battle Nexus Champion" lol)

Hearts on Fire from Rocky IV...good training montage for the boys just like "Eye of the Tiger" which was mentioned.

Woohoo my 100th post

[wyze2099]

"The Name of the Game" by The Crystal Method sounds like it'd make a great battle song for the Turtles. Especially the refrain, "Callin' all freaks" sounds like it'd fit in a fight with a lot of Foot Ninja and/or monsters.

Another Crystal Method song that could fit for the Turtles (especially Mikey) is "Trip Like I Do".

[Ava Collier]

Okay, here I go. With lyrics even.
I warned you people! Just a few though really, and I can't even claim that one isn't Ava influenced >.<


April & Casey: "Joey" Concrete Blonde.

Joey, baby - don't get crazy
Detours, fences - I get defensive
I know you've heard it all before, so I don't say it anymore
I just stand by and let you fight your secret war
And though I used to wonder why, I used to cry till I was dry
Still sometimes I get a strange pain inside
Oh, Joey, if you're hurting so am I
Joey, honey - I got some money
All is forgiven, listen, listen

But if I seem to be confused, I didn't mean to be with you
And when you said I scared you, well I guess you scared me too
But we got lucky once before and I don't want to close the door
And if you're somewhere out there passed out on the floor
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore

And if I seem to be confused I didn't mean to be with you
And when you said I scared you, well I guess you scared me too
But if it's love you're looking for then I can give a little more
And if you're somewhere drunk and passed out on the floor
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore
Angry anymore, angry anymore

Sunsh-Raphael: "Sonne" Rammstein. (I'm sure you saw that coming )
English Translation

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, out

Everyone is waiting for the light
be afraid, don't be afraid
the sun is shining out of my eyes
it will not set tonight
and the world counts loudly to ten

One
Here comes the sun
Two
Here comes the sun
Three
It is the brightest star of them all
Four
Here comes the sun

The sun is shining out of my hands
it can burn, it can blind you all
when it breaks out of the fists
it lays down hotly on the face
it will not set tonight
and the world counts loudly to ten

One
Here comes the sun
Two
Here comes the sun
Three
It is the brightest star of them all
Four
Here comes the sun
Five
Here comes the sun
Six
Here comes the sun
Seven
It is the brightest star of them all
Eight, nine
Here comes the sun

The sun is shining out of my hands
it can burn, it can blind you
when it breaks out of the fists
it lays down hotly on your face
it lays down painfully on your chest
balance is lost
it lets you go hard to the floor
and the world counts loudly to ten

One
Here comes the sun
Two
Here comes the sun
Three
It is the brightest star of them all
Four
And it will never fall from the sky
Five
Here comes the sun
Six
Here comes the sun
Seven
It is the brightest star of them all
Eight, nine
Here comes the sun

OT Baxter: "Powerstruggle" Sunna (PUN ALERT)

I will be here when you are gone,
So I have the right to a power gorge,
And I will be good at making bad,
And I'll light the way for the ***king mad,
I will defeat what I'm heading for,
And I will be here for evermore,
And I am the way of your empty shell,
I want more than I am,

Cause I was made to fly,
I was made to fly,
And you were made to die,
But I was made to fly.

I will survive cause I want more,
And I will create a bigger war,
Then I will rule over and give you hell,
And then you will do as I command,
Cause I will be here when you are gone,
Yeah I'll still be here when you are gone,
I'll fill you with fear of a holy sun,
I want all that I am,

Cause I was made to fly,
I was made to fly,
And you were made to die,
And I was made to fly.

I will defeat you.

Manipulate, interrogate, compete all you like,
And dominate with forceful hate,
Cause You know I will defeat you.

You were made to fight,
Yeh you were made to fight,
I was made to fly,
But you were meant to die.

Cause I was made to fly,
I was made to fly,
And you were made to fly,
And I was made to fly
