Haha, what an "awesome" song. Funny lines, funky production, cheesy as hell, catchy chrous. Who the fuck were partners in kryme?

In case u have not ear witnessed this track, check the lyrics. Me and my mates knew all the words.....and still do.

T-U-R-T-L-E power
T-U-R-T-L-E power
T-U-R-T-L-E power
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

On a half shell they´re the heroes four
In this day and age who can ask for more
The crime wave is high with muggings mysterious
All police and detectives are furious
Cause they can´t find the source
Of this lethally evil force
This is serious so give me a quarter
I was a witness get me a reporter
Call April O´Neill in on this case and you better hurry up
There´s no time to waste
We need help like quick on the double
Have pity on the city, man its in trouble
We need heroes like the Lone Ranger when Tonto came pronto
When there was danger
They didn´t say We´ll be there in half an hour
Cause they displayed
Turtle Power!

T-U-R-T-L-E power
T-U-R-T-L-E power
T-U-R-T-L-E power
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

Now our ace reporter was hot on the trail
Determined to put these crooks in jail
She spied the bad guys and saw what happened
But before she knew it she fell in the trap and got caught
Yeah she was all alone
With no friends and no phone
Now this was beyond her WORST dreams
Cause she was cornered by some wayward fiends
Headed by Shredder they were anything but good
Misguided, unloved, they called them the Foot
They could terrorize and be angry youth and
They loved the people who needed proof
Then from outta the dark came an awesome sound
Shouted COWABUNGA as they hit the ground
From the field the weeds the heroes rescued the flower
Cause they possessed
Turtle Power

T-U-R-T-L-E power

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

Power
When you stand for what you believe in
And find the strength to do what´s right
That´s Turtle Power

Heroes on a half shell they´re on a mission
When there´s a battle got the enemy wishin'
That they stayed at home instead of fightin'
These Ninja Masters with moves like lightnin'
They were once normal but now they´re mutants
Splinter´s the teacher so they are the students
Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Donatello
Make up the team with one other fellow
Raphael
He´s the leader of the group transformed from the norm
By the nuclear goop
Pizza´s the food that´s sure to please
These ninjas are into pepperoni and cheese
Back to the story it´s not hard to find
Ninjas not just of the body but of the mind
Those were the words that the Master instructed
But a letter from Shredder has Splinter abducted
That was the last straw spring into action
Step on the Foot now they´re gonna lose traction
Now this is for real so you fight for justice
Your shell is hard so you shout They cant dust us off
Like some old coffee table
Since you were born you been willing and able
To defeat the sneak, protect the weak
Fight for rights and your freedom to speak
Now the villain is chillin' so you make a stand
Back to the wall put your sword in your hand
Remember the words of your teacher your master
Evil moves fast but good moves faster
Than light
Shining from your illumination
Good versus Evil equals confrontation
So when you´re in trouble don´t give in and go sour
Try to rely on your
Turtle Power

MAYBE one day u might learn to appreciate real music

Xavier23 said:

I don't get the concept of "real" music? I know ur only playing, and none of u want one of my rants do u?

Anyway, I respect real music, but I just prefer to dance my ass off and hear something that is not meant to be taken seriously and amuses me somewhat.

Having said that, Iam a contradiction as I love the corniest of them all, Mr Michael Bolton. People listen to some quite frankly, cheesy as hell stevie songs, yet diss michael for being cheesy? But as stevie is black (uh oh , is that fair?) and plays instruments, his stuff is not cheese apparantly.

Anyway.....

aaarrrgh Michael Bolton ????? my ears are bleeding already

I believe in 1993 or 1994 they did have a lil commercial on Saturday Moring Cartoons sometimes they had this song where they were in a car and the other guy kept asking, "Are we there yet (NO!) Are we there yet (NOO!!)"

it used to be cool.


Another one was cool by this girl with braids and this guy with a high top...

"We, we can play 2gether
U and me, boys and girls forever (oh yeah!)
We, respect one another
We can do it for eachother
No one is better

Wee (WE!) we can play 2gether"

that song was so damn funky. It had more lyrics but I only remember the chorus. The girl would come on like Michael Jackson and go "i can do what u can do so dont u tell me I cant play baby!"

? I dont recognise it?

But there was not even a partners in kryme album? "undercover", their follow that bombed was also a nice track. It's mainly just the production I love. Those heavy treble loving drums. Reminds me of calloways excellent "I wanna be rich" or "sir lancelot".

I'll check my turltes vinyl out for credits on who the fuck they were?

lol, i had the OST to the Turtles movie. This song was great for a li'll boy like me. Practically all the guys in my class knew all the lyrics to this one.

there were a few other cute tunes on the album too.

Here is a long review I did for the soundtrack.

http://www.epinions.com/c...7245687428

It is quite housey in places really.

The score with splinter mubling profound diologue over the top is funny. As is the instrumental with the turtles catchphrases randomly thrown at u.

I really love the OST. Hey, even epinions, a site that is very serious about reviews, even dug the review itself.

Was this a hit anywhere else but USA?

thesexofit said:

I'm in Canada, it was a hit when I was a lad.

Solid gold classic.

Are you talking about the song or movie...I honestly don't remember this song but I think Vanilla Ice's "Ninja Rap" and Technotronic (not sure the name of their song but I'm pretty sure it never mentioned the Turtles or Ninjas) both had singles from the movies (I think both were on the second verison, though).

If you're talking about the movie....

Well you're in the UK. How did it do over there? I know that for a long time it held the title of the biggest grossing indie movie (it's surprising this was an independent movie) released here. With nostolgia in blooom, they have a new Saturday Morning (or depending on where you live. Sunday morning) cartoon show for Turtles. There have been a ton of small DVD releases of the episodes, which are much darker (and the story is different in a lot of major ways...org note for me for spoilers) in tone and the drawings are more sopisticated.

Cool info movie wise. I liked the firt movie and still do today. it has a great "king of new york" dark atmosphere. Loads of dark streets and lighting etc.....surprising for a family movie. Yeah iam surprised it was independant too. What fools the major studios musta felt like after the money came rollling in off these movies. Even the first sequel did well. Though personally the sequel was alot tamer then the more serious first.

The soundtracks are great straight up. "ninja rap" was off "turlte 2". awful song. A grundgy music store has the "turtles 2" movie poster. It has a big announement and picture of vanilla ice saying he is in the movie. "awesome" and a head pic of vanilla ice is on the poster. Great poster. I want it.
