This is solely for the theme song titled "Go Go Power Rangers". For the Boom! Studios comic book series, see Go Go Power Rangers (Boom! Studios)
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Theme Tune
Original Theme (Base to "Go Go Power Rangers"), appears in the Intro sequence
Go Go Power Rangers, usually just referenced as the Mighty Morphin intro, is the only theme song used as the intro theme to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the first in Power Rangers history. The six notes that make up the main portion of the theme (Go Go Power Rangers) made the tune for the communicators that Billy Cranston created. This tune remained through the Turbo season but was then retired in favor of "Go Fly Win" for the Astro Morphers.
The Mighty RAW Version[]
The original theme, created by The Mighty RAW (Ron Wasserman) was used for all three seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. An abbreviated version was used for the intro sequence, while the remaining lyrics were typically used during Zord battles. This theme song received other language for Brazil, called "Somos Power Rangers" included in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rock Aventura (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Album: A Rock Adventure adapted in Portuguese) released in 1995. The song would also receive a Korean adaptation for the Korean dub of the show.[1]
Power Rangers Orchestra Version[]
A heavy rock cover was done to accompany Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie as part of its soundtrack, featuring extra notes at the beginning and a different guitar solo. This was performed by The Power Rangers Orchestra.
In 2017, the theme was reused in the rebooted Saban's Power Rangers movie.
Sampling[]
The song has been repurposed many times: once again in Zeo, again in Samurai, and then a slight remix of Samurai's used in Megaforce. Sampling is also done for the Dino Charge Intro for Power Rangers Dino Charge as well as Power Rangers Ninja Steel, Power Rangers Beast Morphers & Power Rangers Dino Fury. Elements of the song can be heard in the intro for Turbo. The majority of theme songs in the post-Zordon era use the word "Go" several times throughout them. The second demo that Dan Avidan created for Power Rangers RPM has also featured the "Go Go Power Rangers" line in the song.[2]
Covers[]
Anison artist Masaaki Endoh of JAM Project recorded a cover of the Power Rangers Orchestra version for his cover album Enson in 2008. In 2012, Ron Wasserman released a redux version of his original television version, available for purchase on iTunes. in 2017, Kazakh singer Dimash Kudaibergen provides his own version of the cover for the China premiere of the movie.
Lyrics[]
- Bold lyrics indicate TV-size version.
They've got
A power and a force that you've never seen before.
They've got
The ability to morph and to even up the score.
No one can ever take them down.
The power lies on their si-i-i-i-i-ide.
Go, Go, Power Rangers!
Go, Go, Power Rangers!
Go, Go, Power Rangers!
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!
They know
The fate of the world is lyin' in their hands.
They know
To only use their weapons for defense.
No one will ever take them down.
The power lies on their si-i-i-i-i-ide.
Go, Go, Power Rangers!
Go, Go, Power Rangers!
Go, Go, Power Rangers!
You Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!
No one can ever take them down.
The power lies on their si-i-i-i-i-ide.
Go, Go, Power Rangers!
Go, Go, Power Rangers!
Go, Go, Power Rangers!
You Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!
Go, Go, Power Rangers!
Go, Go, Power Rangers!
Go, Go, Power Rangers!

Notes[]
- Although both are the same Power Rangers song, the extended version has been retroactively named "Even Up The Score" retroactively after a common lyric in it.
- This was done to differentiate it from the shorter version used in the title sequence.
- The Season 2 intro has a shot of Adam, Billy and Aisha pulling up in a red car which is not actually seen in the show proper. This is because it was a deleted scene from the episode "The Great Bookala Escape" that was presumably cut for the sake of pacing.
