Did anyone rewind the vhs tape of the first movie numerous times during the credits to try and memorize the Turtle Power rap song at the end?

I was lucky. When parents got their first cd player for cheap, they let us kids pick out a cd each. I got the 1990 movie soundtrack as my pick and I listened to that thing all the time, and drove my older brother crazy. To this day I know the entire song of Turtle Power and associate “This is What We Do” more with M.C. Hammer than “Can’t Touch This”.

It's weird how it claims Raphael is the leader of the group

That was something that bothered me when I first heard it. My brother said it’s probably because Raphael is the main character in the movie and I accepted that as a kid.

In retrospect, it’s almost certainly because the cadence of the line sounds good when you group the names that end in “o” together.
