Which ones? I remember a lot of Sabanball Z songs but I don't remember too many Power Rangers songs that don't have lyrics.
Listen to this. (Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers)
And this. (Dragon Ball Z)
I never noticed that song in MMPR. Weird. I'll have to listen for it when it re-airs this January.

I'd watch it.


Would this make Freeza, Rita Repulsa?
And who would be Bulk and Skull?

NO! Vegeta has to be the Pink Ranger. Only, instead of having a skirt, his suit will have "Bad Man" written on the back.

Hmm... I think that would be the same as watching a monkey drive a bulldozer. Yes, it would be hilarious, but for the massive property damage.

Yes. Of course Freeza is Rita. :lol:
And Bulk and Skull can be Raditz and Nappa!

And I thought about making Vegeta the Pink Ranger. That would be hilarious. I'd also prefer Future Trunks to be the Blue Ranger, actually. Lol. Then I guess Gohan can be Yellow.

I don't know if anyone here is familiar with The Spoony Experiment, but in one episode Spoony reviewed an MMPR game for the Sega CD, and included his own take on the opening titles. He put himself in Amy Jo Johnson's place in the cast list, looked to the shot of the Pink Ranger on the right, and said "Hey! Why do I have to be pink?!" I can picture Vegeta doing the same thing.

...

Damn, that was a lot less funny written out than it is in my head.

I must've missed that one.

I love Spoony's stuff.

(Jeez, we sure tangent a lot.)

Now that I think about it, that may have been in the preview for the MMPR episode that he tacked onto the end of the previous episode.

Yeah, Spoony's awesome. I think he is far and away the most entertaining of the TGwtG crew, with only the Nostalgia Critic coming close.

He's not wearing a scouter in the Pioneer picture though... :o They must have two different versions of that image... for some reason...
If I had to guess, I'd say that FUNi redrew their image and added a scouter. If you look closely at the picture Pioneer used you can see that the left side of Vegeta's hair (our left) has some manga style shading to it, but the one that FUNi has does not.

They did the same thing for the Orange Bricks, too.

Well...technically...you would be watching a monkey pilot a bulldozer.

Yes. Of course Freeza is Rita. :lol:
Funny thing is I actually once considered making an amv to the first season's intro with Frieza speaking Rita's dialogue.

I've been tempted recently to get some of the old Ocean stuff. They go for pretty cheap on ebay sometimes.

Hmm... Well, even Rita had a useless father. That would be King Cold. Putties are kinda like Saibamen, Goldar is like Ginyu...?
