New TMNT Character designs and Theme Song thoughts?

egoing · 08-30-2002, 01:46 AM

I was expecting something a little more hard edged maybe like the turtle designs from the original TMNT aniamted intro.

Here are the lyrics to the new theme and i might have mistaken a line or two with my transcription of it, the old theme had more interesting music than the new theme and the lyrics were more catchy.

For comparison between the new and the original theme.

For fifteen years we trained without distraction
Now it's time for Ninja kick butt action!
Trying to find a place but we don't know where we're headed
All we know for sure don't wanna get shredded
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Shell shocked time to rock!
Never see us comin' never know what hit you
We practice teenage mutant turtle stealth ninjitsu!
Keepin' to the shadows when we all come for you when it's time to strike it's cowabunga!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
T-e-e-n-a-g-e M-u-t-a-n-t N-i-n-j-a T-u-r-t-l-e-s!
T-e-e-n-a-g-e M-u-t-a-n-t N-i-n-j-a T-u-r-t-l-e-s!
It's a whole new shell game

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half-shell
Turtle power!

They're the world's most fearsome fighting team (We're really hip!)
They're heroes in a half-shell and they're green (Hey - get a grip!)
When the evil Shredder attacks
These Turtle boys don't cut him no slack!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Splinter taught them to be ninja teens (He's a radical rat!)
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines (That's a fact, Jack!)
Raphael is cool but crude (Gimme a break!)
Michaelangelo is a party dude (Party!)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half shell
Turtle power!

I think the lyric are pretty much right... What i like in the new theme is the cool guitar riffs...

**Nturtle** · 08-30-2002, 12:43 PM

well I can't sayI liked the new theme song but I like the new look and feel of the show

**Karpo_007** · 08-30-2002, 02:21 PM

And for that look and feel the theme sounds right...

*Nickokapo* · 08-30-2002, 06:02 PM

Ohhhhh lyrics for the new them...good, i couldn't understand some parts of it

Kingkapong · 08-31-2002, 09:44 AM

dang!! i haven't heard the new song yet. now i have no clue how it sounds like.

**Nturtle** · 08-31-2002, 09:47 AM

you can hear it on fogu I forgot the link though

*Nickokapo* · 08-31-2002, 10:05 AM

or

there you go

**Nturtle** · 08-31-2002, 11:19 AM

yup, thats it, maybe we will actually see the themesong in the preview tomarrow

*Nickokapo* · 08-31-2002, 11:21 AM

yeah...maybe with the opening and everything?

that would be great.

**Nturtle** · 08-31-2002, 11:27 AM

it would, but I have a feeling the opening is going to be preety bad

while the show will be good

*Nickokapo* · 08-31-2002, 11:31 AM

the opening being bad...do you mean the opening song, the opening video, or both?
The song really wasn't very good in my opinion...but i wanna see what the opening video will be

popkornLT · 08-31-2002, 02:58 PM

Personally, I don't really like the song either. I totally would have prefered a re-done version of the original theme... make it darker, rock harder... yeah, that would have been good.

*Nickokapo* · 08-31-2002, 03:03 PM

A remake of the original song...that's an excellent idea

i'm not sure if it would fit the cartoon very well tho...but i still havent watched it so i cant really say

**Kali** · 08-31-2002, 03:03 PM

My opinion: I love the new theme song. And I love the new look and feel of the turtles. Not to say I don't like the old cartoon, but I think this one fits my tastes better.

**Karpo_007** · 08-31-2002, 04:28 PM

Same here! After listening the theme for few times im really beginig to love it..

"TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES"

And the new look... For a mirage fan like myself it couldn't be better... At first I hoped the all wore red bandana but after seeing the pics... all i can say is:

"GOD I LOVE BEING A TURTLE!"

**Nturtle** · 08-31-2002, 05:05 PM

they tried redoing the theme song for the dark season eps but it was awful

the video maybe good though for the new one it shouldn't be too flashy though if it is to be like Mirage

**azure turtle** · 08-31-2002, 05:47 PM

I love the new theme song!! And you've gotta admit... The new theme is so much better than the theme during the Red Sky eps.

**Nturtle** · 08-31-2002, 07:19 PM

ANYTHING is better then the theme from the red sky eps!!
