Gosh, there are SO MANY SONGS! So many, that it’s nearly impossible for me to list them all together. So I’ll just list my favorites from each season, as well as my favorite remixes(I’m not gonna include the Season 7 songs, because I am TRYING SO HARD to not listen to them, because listening to them will cause me to think of season 7, which will lead me to loosing my sanity. So for sanity’s sake, until Season 7 begins airing on May 15th, I will not include the Season 7 songs ). And since the Original Weekend whip counts as a song, I won’t be putting the original Weekend whip on the list of Remixes. Also, I am LITERALLY re-listening to the songs as I make these lists.
First, the remixes:
5: Rebooted Remix: It was pretty decent for the season it was meant to represent, but, it just felt too mixed up.
4: Tournament Whip/Anacondrai Remix: Similar reason to Rebooted, but it does seem a bit better.
3: Ghost Whip: This version REALLY gives that spooky vibe that Possession is meant to have, and the only difference between this and the original in terms of lyrics, is that the last verse is replaced by a longer instrumental segment in the Ghost Whip.
2: Pirate Whip: Like the Ghost Whip, this one REALLY has that pirate feel to it, and is much closer to the original lyrics with the main differences being the first 2 verses are mixed together, and they change the last verse to a more pirate feel.
1: Rift Whip: Honestly, this one gives off a more spooky vibe with it’s echoes and the music. The main difference between this and the original is that the chorus appears before the first verse, and that parts are replayed more than others, which is also, what the Rebooted and Anacondrai remixes did, but the Rift Whip does it in a much better way.
Now for the songs, and these are being grouped by season/year.
Pilots/Seasons 1 & 2:
4: Born To Be a Ninja(Just the awesomeness and mentions how the ninja were just average dudes, until Sensei Wu found them. ;))
3: A-W-E-S-O-M-E!(I do like the “We’re young!/Let’s have fun!” bits in it, kind of relates to episode 18: Child’s Play, in a way. Also gives the fans a way to describe the awesomeness of something. :P)
2: Ninja, Go!(Was the 2nd song to appear in the show, appearing in episode 14: Darkness Shall Rise, and actually highlights elements of the show at the time, (Lord Garmadon, Spinjiztu, Sensei Wu, Serpentine, Dragons))
- The Weekend Whip(Dude, this is the THEME SONG for Ninjago. It’s been around since the Pilots. You basically identify Ninjago with this song. Also, that original Music video, my favorite part was when the kid actually ended up going into Ninjago. As I saw one Ninjago meme say, “I wish I had a portal to Ninjago in my house.” :P)
Season 3:
5: After the Blackout(Very fitting for the tone of Rebooted)
4: Full Digital (Very catchy and tells the general story of Rebooted, also, back in late 2014, this song was revealed to have some hints towards season 4. :P)
3: We Are Ninja (like the others, tells the general situation of the season, and with it’s release alongside a sneak peak of episode 33, tells what their facing, and how far the Ninja have come, and has that up beat feeling. :P)
2: Spinning Out In Color(I just LOVE the fan video done for it, and I hope they do another one sometime in the future, cause I’m am still REALLY bummed that I missed out on it )
1: Eye of the Storm(It is just so up beat and has that vibe of calling upon the fandom, uniting all the fans to help the Ninja defeat the Overlord! :P)
Season 4:
4: Enter the Tournament(Basically tells the general feel of the Tournament, and the season itself also uses audio from the season in it. :P)
3: The Ninja Roll(This song is mostly centered around the episode of the same name Episode 38: Ninja Roll, and has a pretty catchy beat to it, and would like to point out, that in the music video, they were filming that music video on very shaky attic. So, that’s why you may notice the camera shaking a lot, because the floor is shaking. also that one part " and you can tell Master Chen/Ninjago City gonna represent" just beautiful. :P)
2: 21st Century Ninja(Got that nice drum beat to it, and whenever I dance to the chorus of it, I’m always doing some of my karate/tae kwon do moves in it like they do in the music video. Also, the ref in that, is actually supposed to be Sensei Garmadon, and as someone pointed out in the Google Hangouts that TheFold had, back in 2015, there was that Red vs Blue feel. :P)
1: Back to Ninjago(Dude, this song, is just SO AWESOME! It tells the general story of the season, yet is so awesome! Just listen to it and you will see. :P)
Season 6:
2: Bring on the Pirates(has that Pirate feel, tells the threat of Nadakahn, how the Ninja team is, one by one, getting held captive in the Sword of Souls, and also the Pirates vs Ninja bits there. Plus, I actually happen to have one of the 2 flags that were used in the Music Video :P)
1: We Are Ninjago(Ok, this is the theme for the Wu Cru, and the Lyrics REALLY tell it. It’s also got that vibe of calling upon the fandom vibe that Eye of the Storm had, uniting the fans to face evil! :D)
Day of the Departed:
2: Close The Circle(Tells the basic story of the special, with Cole’s dilemma, along with a mysterious sounding music behind it on the verses, and the chorus just sounds awesome! :D)
1: Day of the Departed(I just had to put this here, because of just the nice, spooky, yet awesome-sounding music, how the music video reflects it, and tells the other side of the story of the special. Also, the fact that there is actually a TTV parody now, that I believe was started by WOLKsite. And MAN is the parody fitting. :P)
That’s all for now, when Season 7 airs in the US on May 15th, I’ll add those to the lists.
