Fred Wolf '87
4kids 2k3
Nick 2k12

This is a difficult question... I love the Nickelodeon theme, but at the same time the original theme is iconic and I really like the "Back to the Sewer" theme.

*BubblyShell22* · 05-02-2013, 08:19 AM

I didn't vote because I like all of them to some degree. I think the only theme I didn't like was Fast Forward's. BTTS's theme was okay though. The 87 theme is very iconic and the one I remember the most. The Nick theme is awesome, too.

The original toon theme will always be my favorite, both the lyrics and music riffs are great.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 05-02-2013, 09:28 AM

But where is Next Mutation?

4kids theme SUCKS...BADLY

the show is cool though but that theme is one of the WORST themes in cartoon History IMO

*Bauer536* · 05-02-2013, 09:36 AM

While the OT one is classic, I really love the Nickelodeon 2k12 one.

I feel that the newer song is well-sorted, and it puts more thought into introducing the characters. Instead of, "Leonardo leads" (which I thought was small compared with the others like "Michelangelo is a party dude), we have, "Leonardo is the leader in blue. Does everything it takes to get his ninjas through." Every character is introduced at the same rhythm. I like that.

I came to this thread whilst humming the tune to the S9 theme in my head. The somewhat slower, grungier version of the original.

It's difficult, coz I kinda like the lot of them. Yes, even FF. I find myself singing along whichever ones comes on, except BTTS, as it is too fast..
The Nick tune is catchy and fun, but I guess it's hard to not think that the original is still the best.

I voted for the OT theme. It gets stuck in my head at least once daily. While I like the nick theme, I've got nostalgic bias

DonatelloDomeHead31 · 05-02-2013, 12:17 PM

Can't pass up the OT Theme, especially the quotes by each of the turtles. Geez, I still remember them today:

"We're really hype."

"Hey, get a grip"

"He's a radical rat!"

"That's a fact! Jack!"

"Gimme a break!"

"Party!"

(I think I got them all).

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 05-02-2013, 01:23 PM

Actually all are great, gotta go with the 80s tho.

What about the Fast Forward and BTTS themes?

*TurtleTitan97* · 05-02-2013, 01:47 PM

The Nick theme song for me.

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 05-02-2013, 02:01 PM

I figured most would go for the Fred Wolf '87 tune, and while it is a classic, I voted for Nick's instead. It takes its cues from the '87 tune and gives it a flavor that really suits the show, while I felt the the 2k3 one was trying too hard, and the lyrics were a bit lame.

*Andrew NDB* · 05-02-2013, 02:15 PM

Nick one by far.

RaphAndDonnie · 05-02-2013, 02:58 PM

I was wondering when a poll like this would come around.

I voted for the original '87 theme. While I love the Nick theme and, to a lesser degree, the 2k3 theme, the original theme is catchy and always manages to get stuck in my head.

*BabyTurtles* · 05-02-2013, 03:04 PM

I voted Nick because it's so darn catchy XD

but I liked the 4kids theme also

*TheCanadiandrome* · 05-02-2013, 03:43 PM

Fred Wolf is always number one for me, with the Nick theme second

Martin · 05-02-2013, 03:48 PM

2k3 ♥

I'm a little biased on this one since I grew up with that show. That being said, the nick one is pretty awesome too.

*Icebot* · 05-02-2013, 06:12 PM

Mine is Fred Wolf.

DonatelloNinja82 · 05-02-2013, 07:17 PM

1987 here, with Nick in a close second...although for 2k3, I love the version of it where Mikey dances around with Shredder's helmet singing "We shredded Shredder!"
