Way too cool theme tune. And you know why? Because it is by one of the top metal vocalists of all time—Dee Snider from the band Twisted Sister. That’s right. How many shows—some don’t even consider this a show really, as it was just a segment of Eek! The Cat—can brag about such a thing? [...]

This is for the original animated series, what else? There has been a long-time, ongoing mystery behind this theme, and the question remains unanswered: Who were the performers? Besides the chants from the turtles, of course. In fact, there is an ongoing open thread at IMDb regarding this one. (Damn, I lost the link.) Composers [...]

This animated series is so music-oriented that not only does the theme have a full version, they released a soundtrack as well—rare in retro cartoons.
