Lyrical Or Instrumental #1: Gail Kim - "Puppets On A String"

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

I'm interested in how the rest of you feel about the various themes over the years that have had both a lyrical and instrumental version, and which you generally prefer.

First of all we have Gail Kim's TNA theme.

Instrumental hands down, the one with the lyrics sounds horrible

[Fenix122]

Don't really like the lyrical, instrumental is way better

[Emperor Smeat]

Instrumental version

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Instrumental version usually is better except for maybe You're going down for the Undertaker.

[Fignuts]

If it's TNA, then instrumental. Always.

[NoJabbaNoBogRoll]

I can think of at least one exception, but that will come up in a future installment.

[Fignuts]

Now that you mention it, James Storm's is alright. But isn't that a real song and not just an entrance theme?

[Lock Jaw]

Whatever her current one is, is the better one. Don't think her current one has lyrics, but it sounds better than the version posted in here that doesn't have lyrics.

[Poit]

I honestly never noticed that those sounds during Gail Kim's entrance theme were words. That said, I'm going to pretend that they're just sounds, because I like that theme.

[Lock Jaw]

Oh, is the lyric one the current one?

Yeah, seems like just "sounds" on TV, and I like it. Listening to the words in that vid was pretty cringeworthy, though.

[Poit]

Yeah, the lyrical one is the current theme. If you pretend the words aren't words, it's definitely better than the instrumental. The lyrics themselves are pretty bad.
