admonition ! This clause contains spoilers for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Annual - Out of Time # 1TheTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlestheme Sung dynasty from the original ‘ XC cartoon is arguably as iconic as the Turtles themselves , though after the TMNT ’s most recent adventure , it turns out every parole of it was a Trygve Halvden Lie - at least , in one esteem .
The melodic theme Sung to theTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesanimated series ran at the top of every episode . primitively write and performed by Chuck Lorre , the Sung dynasty aimed to not only be a attention-getting tune that would get viewers ’ collective attention , but also to actually insert the Ninja Turtles to those watch . As perform in the song , each Turtle had a unique part on the team aside from simply wearing differently colored masks or wielding dissimilar artillery . Those lyric poem were : “ Leonardo leads , Donatello does machine . Raphael is cool , but raw ( crude oil ) , Michelangelo is a party dude ” . These personal descriptors define the Turtles for decades , and arguably still do to this day . However , these are only surface - layer attribute of their wider grandness , one that actually distract from the function each Turtle brother act on the team in a much deeper sense , with each of them actually stand for “ honour , ingenuity , kindness , strength ” , severally , and “ love ” , collectively .
The TMNT Are Much Deeper Than The Theme Song Suggests
InTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Annual - Out of Time#1 by Michael Walsh , Vlad Legostaev , and Santtos , theTMNT are being hunted by a adaptation of Raphael from the hereafter , who goes back in time to wipe out Donatello before he can formulate a equipment that will efficaciously bring about the goal of the world . While the Turtles may have been forced to kill this future Raph themselves if he did n’t end his murderous delegation , they , first , tried to reason with him . Thinking back to Splinter ’s precept , the Turtles used the saucy lyric their father taught them to make Old Man Raph call up that they were all a family , and that killing one of their own was n’t the answer , no matter how bad thing got . The education they called their memory board back to was when Master Splinter line to each of them what their unique roles on the squad were , and how - together - they ’d be made stronger , attach by sexual love .
As recollected by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and originally taught by Splinter , Leonardo represents honor , Donatello ingenuity , Michelangelo forgivingness , and Raphael force . These unequaled roles not only bonded them with love and made them stronger through I , but they are also much more meaningful than the surface - layer descriptor used in the toon . Sure , some might coordinate well enough , with “ Leonardo lead , Donatello does simple machine ” being exchangeable to “ honour ” and “ inventiveness ” , but in the cases of Raphael and Michelangelo , they do n’t adjust at all . The theme song straight up say Raphael was either rude or crude , neither of which is very helpful in a squad setting , and that Michelangelo was just this company dude , which is as bad for a team of highly trained ninjas .
While the descriptions used to enclose the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may have captured a sliver of their personalities , the estimate that that ’s how each Turtle will be remembered - particularly Raphael and Michelangelo - is a ill service to the team as a whole . Now , the franchise has finally confirmed what each of their role actually are on the team , thereby admitting that the ‘ 90sTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlestheme song was a lie all along .
