Pure Randomness #010 - The Effin Power Rangers Theme


...as performed by Armcannon.
I love the Power Rangers. They have been a part of my childhood since they debuted back in 1993. My older brother took me to see the first movie when it debuted in the summer of 1995. And, with the advent of Power Rangers RPM, the supposedly last season of PR, my interest got shot back up and I now watch it every week. Well, except yesterday, but that's because I had to go to work; anyway, I still recorded it. :)

But, to be fair, this song is the real reason why I'm back into the Power Rangers. Click on the video above (or, if it's pulled out, go on Armcannon's Myspace page) and listen. THAT, my friends, is the definition of EPIC. It is 100% Awesome Sauce. From Rita's opening statement to the final guitar solo, Armcannon made a cheesy 1990s tv show that used Japanese stock footage and made it badass. If the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series is ever revived or remade, this has to be its theme song. No ifs, ands, or JAM Projects about it. It is that good.

Also, some linkage:
If you want to own this song, it will be on Armcannon's next album, which won't be out for a while. Until then, do what I did and get the Child's Play 2008 Charity CD. It has the song plus contributions from MC Lars, MC Frontalot, Anamanaguchi (they kick ass), Jonathan Coulton, Freezepop, Piano Squall, and many more. It's 10 bucks plus shipping and supports Child's Play. If you steaal this album, then you are Jack Thompson. And, no one wants to be Jack Thompson. And, if the song gets you into Armcannon like it did with me, you can still pick up their first album on their website.
