ATTENTION FANS: karaoke your way into TMNT history!

*gobo* · 03-22-2009, 04:51 PM

We're supposed to be working on the fandub for the second OVA episode sometime soon, and I decided it would be an excellent idea to let one of us fans with vocal skillz attempt to do a fandub of the theme songs. If you don't already know, the opening karaoke track can be found at Mikey's TMNT, here, and the closing here. I know they're too long for the episode, but let us worry about the editing. Don't hesitate to use your own lyrics, but here are the translated lyrics for the OP. I'm afraid you're on your own for the ED...

"Power Up Turtles" - English Translation

The enormous riddle is a whirlpool
In the middle of darkness
Volumes of books are crowded and we
Don't hesitate
To know the limits of courage and
The escaped legends of fights
Have filled the shell
Go! Go! Turtles
A power up transformation
Go! Go! Turtles
Evil's soldiers kick about
We Turtles (We Turtles), Fighting Turtles (Fighting Turtles)
Are not slow Turtles
A punch is one! Two! (A punch is one! Two!)
A kick is a boom boom! (A kick is a boom boom)
Protect the tranquility of Earth for the sake of mutants that are born
Go! Go! Turtles
Overwhelming, surprising transformation
Go! Go! Turtles
Dangerous punches and sudden changes, all right now
We Turtles (We Turtles), Shining Turtles (Shining Turtles)
Our hearts are combined and the miracle of the combined body is
Awakened

Jarrah did this once....If you can find it, it's a treat.

Mindy · 03-23-2009, 10:31 AM

I've been so busy fussing with the script and pre-production stuffs that I had totally forgotten to contact you about this.

YAY! Thank you!

*Spitfire* · 03-26-2009, 12:06 AM

I don't think I could sing that without laughing my ass off at how broken it is.

**Jester** · 03-26-2009, 12:44 AM

The thing is trying to get the timing down.

**GK Punk** · 03-26-2009, 12:50 AM

I'm so tempted to give it a shot, but I haven't sang in so long I'm not sure I can carry a tune anymore.

*gobo* · 03-26-2009, 07:29 AM

Make multiple attempts and I'll cobble together your best-of...

*Spitfire* · 03-26-2009, 12:47 PM

I only sing when I'm my German alter-ego

**Jester** · 03-26-2009, 12:56 PM

Chris...you scare me.

That's extortion, isn't it? O_o

*shuriken* · 03-26-2009, 01:10 PM

The translation just reminds me of this south Park episode in which the kids all buy weapons and pretend to be ninjas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3bkYqcXs-I&feature=rel

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 03-26-2009, 01:38 PM

oh no...Chris, what did I say about Hans on the forums?

Lol he scares a lot of people

Archon_Turtle · 03-26-2009, 01:42 PM

Chris can you put not safe for work on all your posts from now on?

...Only because I can't walk around the office sportin' wood. Amirite?!?!

*Spitfire* · 03-26-2009, 05:36 PM

I'm sorry I forgot the sex appeal of Hans is unmatched.

Mindy · 03-26-2009, 08:10 PM

Spit... oh god.

HAAAAANS. *fangirl flail*

*gobo* · 03-26-2009, 08:28 PM

Just got around to watching the Hans video... Sooo... I'll have nightmares tonight.

*Spitfire* · 03-26-2009, 08:36 PM

Funny enough your not the first person to say Hans gave them nightmares. A girl in the class I first premiered this in said the same thing.

*gobo* · 05-09-2009, 02:55 PM

So, is GK the only one even semi-interested in doing this?

**Jester** · 05-09-2009, 03:20 PM

I've tried, unsuccessfully to get the lyrics to fit the timing....
