There's never a dull moment when it comes to Mike Patton, and the Faith No More / Mr. Bungle / Tomahawk vocalist is keeping that lifelong theme going with an epic cover of the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme tune.

Mike lends his voice for the trailer of new TMNT video game Shredder's Revenge, enthusing on Instagram of the awesome announcement (with no less than six exclamation marks): "The world is ready for more from the heroes in a half shell!!!!!!" We agree, Mike. We agree.

"With Bebop and Rocksteady amassing gizmos to support Krang and Shredder’s latest scheme, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge finds the turtles battling through a breathless tour of iconic TMNT locations to thwart their nemeses’ most diabolical plan yet.

Sounds wicked. Watch the trailer featuring Mike's brilliant cover below:
