TMNT: Gettin Down in Your Town - Phelous

[@Zucca101]

My fondest Turtles memory was when my friends and I went to a birthday party where a VERY well done, homemade Michelangelo costumed performer was doing stage magic. He cut pizza without touching it, did a bunch of balloon animals and gave them all turtle shells and had some of those TMNT pies. Best of all, he sounded like the Mikey from the cartoon! Apparently he went on to be a circus guy, but lemme tell you, it felt like Michelangelo had legit stepped out of the TV.

[@thebeggs4]

Phelous, this is probably the strangest compliment you'll ever get, but I don't know that anyone does a more hilarious bored/awkward silence cough than you do. Or dubbing that's anywhere near as funny. This and the He-Man/She-Ra Christmas Special review are perfect examples of both. Hope you realise how much I and so many others love your work. Keep doing what you're doing, you're the best. Thank you for all the MK and Turtles stuff, as well as the aforementioned He-Man/She-Ra, Good Times Beauty & The Beast, Lion & The King, and both Aladdin reviews. Have watched them so many times...classic.

[@mkrnightvee4407]

Watch the pokemon live video. Lol

[@moserfugger6363]

I really love the german version of the TMNT theme used at the end of this video. This husky voice belongs to Frank Zander, who was a very successful singer/entertainer during the 80s and 90s here in Germany. Nowadays he still does smaller concerts, but sadly you rarely see him in television anymore. But back when TMNT was the hottest shit in town, Zander (spoken like "thunder") was really popular with kids as well as with adults. One of his biggest hits was "Hier kommt Kurt" (Here comes Kurt), which you'd also might like if you enjoy his TNMT version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKOzlJpurpdga6c While he still loves to entertain people in a funny way, Zander's new songs are more serious than what he did back in the 90s. He does a very successful charity for homeless people every christmas and in 2015 he recorded a song on this topic called "Nichts ist mehr so wie es war" (Ain't nothing like it used to be). It's based on a letter he got from an old friend, who became homeless: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWbIdKZjhryWoqs Having worked in journalism, I know many people, who already met Zander and had interviews with him. They only had to say good things about him. He seems to be a really down to earth, laid back and also hilariously funny guy. So even in hindsight, Zander was a great choice for the TMNT themesong. :) Greetings from Germany!

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

Thanks for providing me with this into on a German version of a theme song I never thought I needed. I always thought that version of the song was funny without thinking about the guy who was singing it. XD
