I’m back again for the walk down memory lane. In the 8 years since I’ve last commented, I’ve gotten married, had two kids, and like you guys been through a pandemic. And even though I know what to expect with this performance all these years later, it still doesn’t quite make that high note easier to hear. But big up you guys in the comments, hope you’re all hanging in there🤣🤣🐢🐢🐢🐢🐀
Thanks for the kind words & congrats on the the milestones! Had my first kid last Oct and am getting married this September. TMNT & this performance persists through it all.
I was bored at work and this song randomly came into my head from when I was a young kid in the early 90s. I was like if I type this into TH-cam and they have it then they really have every video your mind can think of.
yeah, someone at my work mentioned skipping stones and this entire vhs suddenly flashed before my eyes like repressed vietnam memories, cant believe this is actually on here hahaha
Nah...no way an old japanese guy will suddenly vocally become a 30 year old white guy with a country accent. Kills the immersion. Good song, though. Needs a cover that stays in character.
If I had been at this show as a kid, I would have started booing at this part. I was that kind of kid. I booed when I saw Mortal Kombat live at Radio City. Scorpion threw a lasso instead of a spear from his hand, and I said, "That's not what it's like in the game! Booo! Booo!" My dad said, "Quiet, Richard! You were the one who wanted to come to this!"
😂😂😂crying. Literally as a child I even remember laughing at that exact part. Thank you internet age for connecting humans on these higher spiritual planes
This is such a great metaphor for life. We could all learn a lot from this. It's incredible to me that Splinter could have time to be such a masterful martial artist AND vocalist!
It’s painful listening to this. Splinter sounds like he is trying so hard to pass some skipping stones, and he is struggling to do so because it hurts and burns so much. When he mentions glass, it makes the song sound even more painful.
I had never made it through to the end until recently and I swear those last 5 seconds are so bone chillingly haunting, that I dont even know what to do with myself apart from vent here.
When I was a kid in the 90s a buddy of mine used to have this on VHS. For some reason I was sitting here just now at 9 Am and remembered it. Prolly haven't seen it in since the 90s. Isn't it funny how certain memories just stick with you? It has come to me a few times over the years. The way I remember it he used to dance to it as Splinter would sing and he'd sometimes sing along "I'm skipppppin stones!!" and I would be in tears laughing. He also, I feel, had that little intro part Splinter does memorized. What's particualely odd is I do not remember ever seeing a single one of the actual ninja turtle performances! It's like every time I went to visit the kid only turned this one part on. And imagine.... He would have had it all fast forwarded and saved on this part particualely on the old VHS! I bet the VHS is still safely squared away somewhere in his house too. LOL.
I remember my taking my best friend, his nephew, and I to this show when I was like 7. I still remember getting this cassette and hearing this song and thinking "This song is kinda deep. I don't even know what that means". This was like listening to Tool when I was 7.
I've never seen the video before, i had the cassette tape from Pizza Hut and wore that thing out listening to it. It was my beginning getting into music, but I never knew if it was part of teh movie soundtrack or something. Then I find out about this thing. Yes Splinter, it was your slow ballad driven Tai Chi that honed slimey reptiles into weapons to murder your enemies.
I'm watch this constantly every single day I come home from school I've watched this concert all the times he's Mutant Ninja Turtles and Master Splinter it was great I wish I could find it on DVD
It probably won’t ever get released onto DVD since GoodTimes (who released the concert) no longer exists and even if Nickelodeon has the rights to this concert, they are probably too embarrassed to release themselves.
If this was the first Ninja Turtle media I saw, I probably would have never liked them thank God for VHS rentals at the library and Blockbuster back in the day
Cheesy I know but I haven't heard this song since I was a kid and have been looking for it everywhere thank you to the one who uploaded the video, I use to have the cassette tape lol
To be honest, the narration was the best due to the fact they actually got Peter Reneday (Master Splinter 87) to do it. :) :) :) I thought for sure it was going to be Kevin Clash. Clash would have been good as well, but glad the original Splinter did it.
Ok… bathroom break time!! Lol. The show built-in time for kids to take a piss and not miss anything, except maybe Splinter talking about skipping stones 😂.
I love how this is the last song before we find out shredder has decided to wipe out all music. This is what pushed him over the edge.
Splinter *ruined* music for everyone.
Omfg😂😂😂
Yep that'll do it lmao
"I hate Splinter"
Shredder is a real asshole. Seriously, who doesn't like music?
Looks like chuck e cheese if he hit rock bottom.
Best comment
+sonyvssnes Lmfao!!
sonyvssnes I'm in tears. best comment ever
Bruh lolololo you win the internets today
Funniest comment !
Splinter, as possessed by Bruce Springsteen.
LOL, dat comparison. Bruce and Bon Jovi
Splinter likes the classics.
That's not what Bruce Springsteen sounds like.
3:47 will forever be the greatest 3 seconds in the entire history of music
It actually startled me as I listened!
I think you're right. lol
Thank you for this lol
OH OOOOH Yeeeah, it will.
Ha! Hahaha! Perfection.
Because this is what kids want at a TMNT show. A soft, slow ballad...from Splinter...
duh
It was the one song I remembered into my adult life.
@@Jermbuf14 Same here. I don't remember any of the other songs. But I remembered "Whhoooaaahh Skipping Stones...!" for decades.
Jermbuf14 DUDE, me too!
@@Jermbuf14 Same. I think we must've been brainwashed.
Like the way his accent changes from Japanese to bon jovi.
That creepy hand reaching for a stone near the beginning cracks me up so hard
+sama flame rat hand FTW
HAHAHA WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT
Omg me toooo! Ew and they keep repeating it! LOL
100% nightmare fuel
They probably hired a homeless dude to pick it up.
Imagine being a thespian who trained at Julliard only to be cast in this thing
cardigansarecool still statistically more successful than the vast number of graduates in the arts
I'm in my 40s and I remember all the lyrics to this song. I think they did a terrific job.
That's what theatre kids deserve
@@toximan2008 lol based
I feel the pain of everyone that bought tickets for this.
I saw this back in 1990 and I LOVE it. I still have a few of my favorite songs on my mp3 player.
I saw this live. I have no regrets.
Kids loved this when it happened. I remember when they were guests on Oprah. It was awesome
I played the vhs Till it broke and got stuck in the vcr. My pops was pissed..😂
Why? It was awesome. Totally sponsored by Pizza Hut but as a kid it was great.
This had convinced me to no longer explore the past

I wish I could tell my future in-laws that this is what I do for a living.
Rofl
OMG laughing so hard!
It hurts 😂
God this is so 90's it hurts. I LOVE IT!
Facts 💥💯
I remember my mom taking us to see this live and having the album......I had to revisit this to make sure I wasn't tripping lol
3:47 I was actually startled, Sounded like he got tazered!!
PASSIN' KIDNEY STONES!
SacrifyX omg that's fucking hilarious
OHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEGGGHH!!!
that's what it fuckin sounds like tho.
Hellva way of putting it Sacrify X Lmao...
Yup, that's definitely what Splinter's singing voice would sound like.
Omg I'm dead 🤣
Nah...no way an old japanese guy will suddenly vocally become a 30 year old white guy with a country accent. Kills the immersion. Good song, though. Needs a cover that stays in character.
39 years old and i still cant get this song out my memory
have you ever skipped stones on the water in the pale moonlight?
ha
Jhon Bon Jovi lol
Jorge Moleiro
LOL
Bravo
Even now at age 40 I still think this is a beautiful and emotional song.
thanks for uploading this.
i now know it wasn't just a fever dream from my youth.
Based for Life nah bro I remember this
If I had been at this show as a kid, I would have started booing at this part. I was that kind of kid. I booed when I saw Mortal Kombat live at Radio City. Scorpion threw a lasso instead of a spear from his hand, and I said, "That's not what it's like in the game! Booo! Booo!" My dad said, "Quiet, Richard! You were the one who wanted to come to this!"
Boooo
You should’ve responded with, “I expected something better.”
wtf bro u suck, this is the pinnacle of modern music
That’s a great story but no one really cares
I am LITERALLY weeping holy sham wow! Oh God I can't breath! I mean how did this become a thing?!
Only god know man.... I don't know either but remember to always keep skipping stones XD
@@coltsman6373 LOL
Turtle Mania was very real
Sounds like Jon Bon Jovi on a bad case of turbucolosis
Sings better than bon jovi
Who else watched Phelous's review of this?
3:46 brings tears to my eye's
+Steven Shilling Wow oh WOah I'm skippin' stones!!!
+MistaTofMaine OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SS_Minno_Johnson xoxo that was the moment he passed a kidney stone.
hahahahha slow mo stone toss
emotions
Your move Michael Bay.
UGH..UUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHO YEAH!?
3:45
😂😂😂crying. Literally as a child I even remember laughing at that exact part. Thank you internet age for connecting humans on these higher spiritual planes
This song is the ultimate torture device.
I always think of Springsteen when I hear his voice on this. Springsteen drunk.
This is such a great metaphor for life. We could all learn a lot from this. It's incredible to me that Splinter could have time to be such a masterful martial artist AND vocalist!
Most talented rat ever
@@willh3972The rats from NIMH were pretty talented too.
Sing it, Master Splinter!
Omg😂😂
3:47 lol!!! What the heck was that?!
OHHHH! OOHHHHHH!
i.e. the best part of the song B-)
The best part!😂😂😂😂😂🔫🔫
Sounds just like a south park parody hahah
It was a land based skipping stone
It’s painful listening to this. Splinter sounds like he is trying so hard to pass some skipping stones, and he is struggling to do so because it hurts and burns so much. When he mentions glass, it makes the song sound even more painful.
😂😆😆 I'm done.
Omfg😂
Splinter's singing voice sounds a combination of Trey Parker and David Bowie.
this makes me laugh every time
I've re-evaluated this whole thing and decided it's great.
I also love how casual, everyday images of a city street look like a decaying hellscape, especially in black-and-white.
I'll never forget this, as a kid!!! Wore this VHS out!! This is the best song
Mark Deez not wore it out bruh lmaoooo
People don't appreciate this song the way they should. Give it time. The song will grow in their minds. Just wait.
It's been stuck in my head for 30 years
I had never made it through to the end until recently and I swear those last 5 seconds are so bone chillingly haunting, that I dont even know what to do with myself apart from vent here.
The worst thing is when you learn that "pizza" is a code word for something unthinkable.
The music becoming distorted, the black and white filter, the slow camera, such terrifying imagery.
Splinters version of MJ's "Man In The Mirror" 8 year olds were fainting and sweatin splinter in the audience
Master Splinter, I live my life through teachings and i will pass the knowledge you have bestowed upon me to my offspring. Your legacy will live on.
When I was a kid in the 90s a buddy of mine used to have this on VHS. For some reason I was sitting here just now at 9 Am and remembered it. Prolly haven't seen it in since the 90s.

I think he's doing a Street Fighter fireball around 1:32
It’s called a Hadouken
Slow motion hadouken
A Kama Hame Ha from DBZ!
I love that guitar sound at the beginning
I remember my taking my best friend, his nephew, and I to this show when I was like 7. I still remember getting this cassette and hearing this song and thinking "This song is kinda deep. I don't even know what that means". This was like listening to Tool when I was 7.
I remember my parents bought me this on vhs thinking it was the actual movie. I think this is what set me up for the rest of my life to hate musicals.
I've never seen the video before, i had the cassette tape from Pizza Hut and wore that thing out listening to it. It was my beginning getting into music, but I never knew if it was part of teh movie soundtrack or something. Then I find out about this thing.
Yes Splinter, it was your slow ballad driven Tai Chi that honed slimey reptiles into weapons to murder your enemies.
Still LOVE this song since 8th grade! This one and Pizza Power!
What a banger
still better than Micheal Bay's version
Michael Bays version literally looks like a skinned boar.
No, this is worse
I just can't stop watching.
I'm glad my best friend had this on VHS cause we laughed so hard at this.
This is disturbingly awful.. And yet... I wish it could be a #1 hit
The concert gets points for validation by having the voice of splinter be included in this performance from the 80s cartoon
This just Popped into my head. I remember renting this tape. Thanks for uploading
Doin' my taxes!
Even this, is better than any scene from the new movie.
saw this live at the Arie Crown Theater in the old Chicago McCormick Place. still cannot believe this actually happened.
Excellent tmnt coming out of our shells tour live concert
1:50 Master Splinter takin a shit live on stage
The transition effects are AMAZING.
This song's always had a soothing effect on me.
Randomly just had this stuck in my head. God damn you Phelous 😂
This is glorious.
A WORLD OF BLUE IS WHAT I SEEEEE!
This was my first concert EVER!
I'm sorry
Why can't I get this song out of my head for 25 years 😂😂😂
This song changed 1000's of lives just like the ripples from skipping stones.
I'm watch this constantly every single day I come home from school I've watched this concert all the times he's Mutant Ninja Turtles and Master Splinter it was great I wish I could find it on DVD
It probably won’t ever get released onto DVD since GoodTimes (who released the concert) no longer exists and even if Nickelodeon has the rights to this concert, they are probably too embarrassed to release themselves.
If this was the first Ninja Turtle media I saw, I probably would have never liked them thank God for VHS rentals at the library and Blockbuster back in the day
I had this on vhs as a child and it randomly popped in my head the other day and I had to look it up, and good lord is this bad hahaha
There's a tear in my eye.
If they got Taylor Swift to do a cover of this for Mutant Mayhem, I guarantee it would be the #1 song within a day.
Lol 😂 @ the ninja turtles slow dancing in the background
I can't believe I owned this on VHS and watched it so often, hahaha.
Yes
I love this song
It's not even a bad song. If you sing it yourself you will find it to be a good song.
I actually had rhe Album from this tour and this was my favorite song from it. 🙌🏾
Dude I went to this concert when I was a kid this is a real trip
I remember watching this on vhs when I was 10 . I must a watched this about 1,000 times plus I had A all the toys and video games. 🤤 major nostalgia.
RIP Peter Renaday. You will be missed.
A classic Phelous gag.
That joke already got old in his own video!
SHREDDED!
😂I needed this
Go home Splinter, you're drunk.
Still a million times more imaginative than modern pop music.
Thanks 'riffery.
3.48 made my life!
Splinter looks like an cat
Cheesy I know but I haven't heard this song since I was a kid and have been looking for it everywhere thank you to the one who uploaded the video, I use to have the cassette tape lol
I'm with you dude, I saw this when I was a kid, but this is to me one of the best songs they did.
Keep on, keep on, keep on
Pissin' stones
(Ouch that hurt)
This is how I remembered this song 4:54
The Rings that go out affect all that they touch....
#superdeepthought
Sometimes I stand and look at all that must be done. It seems as though It's too much for anyone.
“The water surrounds me, but the time for rings has past…”
RIP Peter Renaday (1935 - 2024)
3:47 when a fly comes through your window
To be honest, the narration was the best due to the fact they actually got Peter Reneday (Master Splinter 87) to do it. :) :) :) I thought for sure it was going to be Kevin Clash. Clash would have been good as well, but glad the original Splinter did it.
Ok… bathroom break time!! Lol. The show built-in time for kids to take a piss and not miss anything, except maybe Splinter talking about skipping stones 😂.
Splinter's heart was skipping beats
PHELOUS SENT ME!!!
