Who knew that these sewer-dwelling superheros were multi-talented? Apparently, the group formed a band, and in 1990, embarked on the "Coming Out of Their Shells" tour.
Their musical style could be described as "Journey." You can get a taste of it from this strong power rock anthem, "Count on Us."
Note the complex emotional range of the lyrics:
You gotta fight to be free
You gotta fight for what is right
You gotta fight to be free
But we need your help tonight
Their live tour featured Michelangelo on guitar and Leonardo on bass. Which would magically keep playing even when the Turtles broke for a dance move. Raphael supposedly was the band's saxophonist, however the instrument rarely made an appearance.
Despite having clunky shells, the Turtles moved with surprising grace through their show's choreography.
A behind-the-scenes documentary gives us a closer look at the Turtles' musical talent. Observe Donatello's nimble finger work.
Turt's got rhythm.
Here's that classic hit, "Pizza Power."
Loving that snappy "Pizza Power" chorus:
But pizza power
A flying saucer food delight
Pizza power
Oh, that's what makes us feel all right!
