This is the theme song to the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" cartoon, in a jazz lounge style. Not an original composition of mine, but a creative arrangement.
Lyrics:
Do you ever feel blue and green at the same time?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half-shell
Turtle power.
They're the world's most fearsome fighting team (They're really hip!)
They're heroes in a half-shell and they're green (Hey - get a grip!)
When the evil Shredder attacks
These Turtle boys don't cut him no slack!
Splinter taught them to be ninja teens (He's a radical rat!)
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines (That's a fact, Jack!)
Raphael is cool but crude
Michaelangelo is a party dude.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half shell
Turtle power.
This song is sung by a son to his very unfortunate mama.
Lyrics: D A/C# Bm G Mama, there's so many things I want to thank you for D A/C# E A I know sometimes it was kind of hard D A/C# Bm G I know my brothers and I were always pretty ornry ones. D A/C# E A Heaven help you if you ever dropped your guard.
Bb F Do you remember the time Gm Dm When I was eight years old Eb Bb I set fire to the living room rug C F And I can't forget the look on your face. Bb F Then you picked up the rug Gm Dm And you smothered the flames. Eb Bb The second degree burns would heal up in time C F Bb A But the memory still has a place in my heart.
D A/C# Bm G Mama, I know that we could be rough on you D A/C# E A I'm sure our antics made you kind of sick. D A/C# Bm G And I'm sure my brothers and I are the ones to blame D A/C# E A That you developed that nervous tic.
Bb F Do you remember the time Gm Dm On a Saturday Eb Bb You took a nap in the afternoon C F My brothers and I cut off all your hair. Bb F You woke up in a rage Gm Dm So we ran and hid Eb Bb You only wore a wig for a year, C F Bb A But the memory is always there in my heart.
D A/C# Bm G Mama, I know that the years had to take their toll D A/C# E A And I know we never took it easy on you D A/C# Bm G One day, the men in the white coats took you away. D A/C# E A Don't worry, Mama, we'll always come to visit you.
Bb F Do you remember the time Gm Dm We got those BB guns Eb Bb We ran around the house C F And shot all the windows out. Bb F I wonder if that was the day Gm Dm WE pushed you over the edge. Eb Bb In fact, when I think back, C F Bb There isn't any doubt in my heart.
This song is about Spock's home planet Vulcan. The clavinova sound represents Spock's Vulcan harp.
Lyrics:
G D
Vulcan is a very lovely place.
Em Bm
It's the homeworld of the Vulcan race.
C G
You might think of it as just another M-class planet
A7 D
I guess that's true in any case.
G D
It's the home of a very logical man
Em Bm
Whose wife always does the best she can.
C G
But she finds it kind of hard to hide her emotions
A7 D
After all, she's only human.
C Bb G
Oh, one day they had a son.
And one day he'd be know throughout the federation.
C Bb Dm C
To his father's dismay, he decided to leave one day.
F Eb D
For him Starfleet would be the one.
Eb Dm C
But planet Vulcan will always be in my heart.
Eb Dm C
Your flowing deserts are illogical works of art.
Eb Dm C
My katra will always dwell with in the sandy dunes.
Eb Dm C
I'll sing with my harp of the planet with no moons.
D
With no moons.
G D
Vulcan is very frightening place
Em Bm
When Andorian militants show their face.
C G
They always leave me feeling kind of blue
A7 D
When they come invading our space.
C Bb G
Oh, things can really get bizarre
C Bb G
When a Vulcan male is going through pon farr.
C Bb Dm C
And as you may plainly see, if the female invokes kal-if-fee
F Eb D
Things run amok when a champion is called to spar.
Eb Dm C
But planet Vulcan will always be in my heart.
Eb Dm C
Your flowing deserts are illogical works of art.
Eb Dm C
My katra will always dwell with in the sandy dunes.
Eb Dm C
I'll sing with my harp of the planet with no moons.
D
With no moons.

This song is an experiment with reverse audio and other effects. It uses text from William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing." The video was taken around the Tiger Band Hall at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.
Lyrics:
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh nor more;
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never;
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny;
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into. Hey nonny, nonny.
Sing no more ditties, sing no more,
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into. Hey, nonny, nonny.
This is another song for the new musical project. Lyrics are by August Mergelman.
Lyrics: There are curtain calls, But no curtain falls When you know you are the star. Though it's true that you Wait a year or two For your next cue, Your dream will take you far.
Though you hear applause, There's never a pause, When you know you are the star. Though the play is played, And spotlights fade, Your dream has stayed. Your dream will take you far.
You're among your friends. The tune never ends, When you are, each one, a star. In the wings, you linger, And you sing. Your echoes ring. Your dreams will take you far.
