An early unfinished version without Shane Faber's production was featured in the film's closing credits, and it is this version which is now commonly found on retro 90s compilations and on streaming sites, despite the fact the film mix was not officially released in the 1990s. In the UK, the film mix heard in the end credits featured the words "ninja" replaced with "hero", even though the film was not retitled the UK, unlike the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 TV series)|1987 cartoon series]]. The track was also used in the 2013 [[Activision]]'s video game ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (video game)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows]]''.


"Turtle Power" was released in April 1990 and reached number one on the [[UK Singles Chart]] for four weeks; it was the thirteenth highest-selling single of the year in the United Kingdom. Additionally, the song peaked at number 13 on the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], number four in Ireland, number seven in New Zealand and the top twenty in Australia, Finland, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland.

Written by James P Alpern and Richard A Usher Jr and produced by Partners in Kryme, "Turtle Power" rode the wave of popularity of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise.

The song's lyrics erroneously claim that [[Raphael (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)|Raphael]] is leader of the team, a role actually held by [[Leonardo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)|Leonardo]], although it can be argued that Raphael was the leader in earlier works. This became a heated point of contention on the hit internet comedy show Game Grumps; so heated that it was repeated twice, four years apart.

(1990)

"Turtle Power!" (or simply "Turtle Power") is a song by American hip hop duo Partners in Kryme.[1] The song was released by SBK Records and was from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtrack. An early unfinished version without Shane Faber's production was featured in the film's closing credits, and it is this version which is now commonly found on retro 90s compilations and on streaming sites, despite the fact the film mix was not officially released in the 1990s. In the UK, the film mix heard in the end credits featured the words "ninja" replaced with "hero", even though the film was not retitled the UK, unlike the 1987 cartoon series. The track was also used in the 2013 Activision's video game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.

"Turtle Power" was released in April 1990 and reached number one on the UK Singles Chart for four weeks, making it the first hip hop single to reach number one in the United Kingdom and becoming the 13th-highest-selling single of the year in the United Kingdom. Additionally, the song peaked at number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number four in Ireland, and number seven in New Zealand.
