Cowabunga!

Thirty years ago this week the live-action "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" feature film opened in movie theatres. Man, do I feel old! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMJPwRWaZBI">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
While the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie is a memorable time capsule itself, never underestimate the film& #39;s dizzying rap and new jack swing soundtrack that was somehow both corny and cool.

It& #39;s embarrassing to admit, but here we are:

"9.95" was easily my favourite song off this soundtrack as a kid... It& #39;s a feel-good track that, believe it or not, shamelessly tears a page from Paula Abdul& #39;s "Opposites Attract." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRSIAGDV5is&list=PLj_Y05swuVr8WgDT8mkQAqjfYC5OM6QCj&index=5">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
"Call April ONeil in on this case eh.
You better hurry up. There& #39;s no time to waste."

New York rap duo Partners in Kryme topped the U.K. singles chart with their debut "Turtle Power!" The song name checks all the #TMNT characters.

By track #10 the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" soundtrack has devolved into sappy ballads and this ripoff of 80s electro act MARRS.

Orchestra in the Half Shell sounds like a guy in his basement with a Casio keyboard. And it very well may have been. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j5JQipGhgI&list=PLj_Y05swuVr8WgDT8mkQAqjfYC5OM6QCj&index=11">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
