I remember going to see TMNT II when it came out and Vanilla Ice's name was on the theater marquee! A ten year old me was thinking "Wow first SNL now the Ninja Turtles movie!" maybe Ice should have joined the Going Out of Our Shells Tour. Anyways "T.U.R.T.L.E. Power" was the better song.
Always felt like the Turtles (being based on NYC in the 80s) should have leaned more on b boy culture overall. There's one or two scenes in the movies where they are doing breakdance moves while fighting foot clan ninjas, that kind of stuff should've been all throughout, like a Jackie Chan comedy or something.
I had "Too Legit to Quit" on cassette and it had the bonus version of "Addams Groove" on there. Loved it. Was confused about "Ok Fester, take me to the bridge!" cos I didn't know a bridge was a musical term, I thought it was recorded live and possibly w the Addams Family cast on stage and there was a bridge they were all moving towards.
Bobby Brown's "On Our Own" is too much fun to say it is the worst.
Gonna ultimately vote "Ninja Rap" even though it really made the end of TMNT2 extra special. Probably one of the latter Will Smith tunes is my least favorite but Vanilla Ice is a supreme hack compared to Smith.

Addams Family Values is a great movie. Just watched it last week
― welltris (crüt), Sunday, 8 November 2015 20:02 (eight years ago) link
It is good, it's just a little unfortunate how close to the first movie's plot it is, with Fester once again manipulated by a cynical outsider mother/lover figure.

Didn't know about the Kris Kross song. I thought the main Rugrats related song was "Take Me There" by Mya and Blackstreet featuring a rap by Ma$e and Blinky Blink.

oh shit, i forgot all about that mya/blackstreet/etc. rugrats number. wow.
it may be the case that "rugrats rap" was something created only for like nicktoons interstitials/filler? i can't confirm that it has anything to do with the movie at all, which would make sense since i can't imagine kris kross being recruited for a film soundtrack in 1998. though other credits include "no doubt feat. elvis costello" - a sure-fire combo for the toddlers - and busta rhymes declaring "i am reptar, hear me roar / i am reptar, the king of dinosaurs":

wow, that song is nuts. this is my best effort at cleaning up the even wronger lyrics available online. note that when he says "blow dry your asshole" on the chorus, "hole" is wiped out but "ass" is unmistakable. this has to be the weirdest kids' movie soundtrack i can think of.
What be goin' on over here?Coming through top speed, you better stand clearOoh! You know better beware or step to the clearWe 'bout to blast right out from here --- Excitement!Yes, I hope you know we come throughTo cause chaos like Darth Vader, turn on your radarOn the downhill, racing, I'm holding my headThe situation may be peril (?) check on the toysetI am Reptar - hear me roar!I am Reptar - the King of Dinosaurs!Oh ya but sure I done but dirtyStill racing downhill like we doing a buck thirtyHa!

I'm still mind blown that Meteor Man had a song or that there was a dude called "Big Hat Ray Ray"

^^^ someone who's seen the movie, help me out, is there a plot point where the rugrats, playing with Reptar, get horribly burned and/or set the house on fire?
― Frump 'n' Dump (Doctor Casino), Monday, 9 November 2015 05:16 (eight years ago) link
I remember the Meteor Man song but only from it's "you can't stop this!" interjections which were featured in the trailer. Listening to it now - kind of just painfully generic. Interesting that Big Hat Ray Ray sings the bridge. Weird how little footage from the movie shows up in the video.
― Frump 'n' Dump (Doctor Casino), Monday, 9 November 2015 05:20 (eight years ago) link
yeah I was hoping for lols and it was really just boring overall.
the Method Man Riddler song was something I didn't even know existed until 2 years ago
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Monday, 9 November 2015 05:22 (eight years ago) link
yeah, i'm not sure how i missed out on that til now. it's not bad! if it didn't have all the irritating intercuts to jim carrey and the batmobile, i would assume this was just a minor meth album track that's kind of vaguely borrowing from batman imagery.

Voted "Addams Family Groove" for sheer plodding dullness, though a write-in for "Come With Me" did cross my mind. Everything else here is more or less listenable, though you could listen to Big Hat Ray Ray many times without ever noticing it.
