The Truth Behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Theme Song
If you ask most entertainment snobs where television mogul, Chuck Lorre got his start, almost unequivocally you will get the same response… “as a writer/producer for Roseanne.” Since creating lines for one of the world’s most disgusting women, Lorre has gone on to create some of the world’s most popular television sitcoms like Dharma and Greg, Two and a Half Men, and The Big Bang Theory. While these credits prove impressive and have allowed Lorre to bank over $30 million per year, they can’t compare to the sheer awesomeness of his very first television credit. So next time you’re chopping it up with a know-it-all who claims to be Tina Fey’s fourth cousin on her father’s side, pull this out of your back pocket… “Did you know that Chuck Lorre’s first real television credit was penning the lyrics for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song?” Now as you walk away with tremendous pride, be sure to turn around and finish him with this, “Oh yeah, Chuck also did the voice overs – get a grip.”
