What's the WORST TMNT theme song?

We all know which is the best (or at least most iconic/memorable)...but which is the worst? Choices are:

OT/Fred Wolf (original version)
Ot/Fred Wolf (red sky version)
Next Mutation
2K3/4Kids (original version)
2K3/4Kids (second version...not much of a difference but I wanted to include them all)
Fast Forward
Back to the sewer
2K12/Nickelodeon

Personally, I think the worst is either Fast Forward or Next Mutation...what about you guys?

I'd have to say the Fast Foreward theme. Close runner ups are the NM theme and the second OT theme.

Definitely The Next Mutation (BOTH VERSIONS!!). While the 1987 original version is pretty clearly the best, being of course boosted on popularity and influenced upon for the Nick series, The Next Mutation definitely lacks the catchy hooks that the other themes, even the later 4kids-era ones had with their fun rock style. And the scary part is that I'm judging on the ORIGINAL 1997 version. At least it had the catchy "Na na na na na na na- NINJA TURTLES!" hook inside of it admist some crap rap that is lame compared to Nick's rap version. The Hub version is just a big old "WWTF" that makes me want to change the channel!

FF without question. Every time that start to play the theme song I put on mute. Seriously, this song is disgusting.

The Next Mutation Netflix theme really stinks, but I kinda liked the original when it aired on Fox. I voted for Back to the Sewer.

Honest question: is there anything about the Nick show that you like?

In terms of the theme song, Fast Forward is definitely the worst. The theme is so bland. Even Back to the Sewer's was better, if only slightly. My favorite theme is Nickelodeon's, followed closely 4Kids'.

Don't remember much of the NM theme, but I would say fast forward.

Fast Forward comes close, but I have to go with the new version of the Next Mutation theme. It's just so awful

Next mutation was rather lackluster, all of the 4kids theme songs wasn't all that great either, very... Lacking in spirit. And I really wish the Nick one was performed by some one that didn't sound half asleep.

Well, I'm deciding between Fast Forward and Next Mutation. The first is a bit less awful than the second, but this last is shorter than FF...

Meh, I'll choose Next Mutation

Fast Forward theme was awful with the vocals but if you listen to the instrumental version, it's simply exquisite and excellent.


TNM is like a pile of dog crap, so I vote that.

I don't remember TNM's theme, but I do think Fast Forward was horrible.

Fast Forward. The Next Mutation is cheesy and dumb, like it's supposed to be. Fast Forward is forgettable, and I only liked the Turtles' ''catchphrases'' in that.
