The Anatomy of a Song (Megaforce vs Mighty Morphin)

In addition to the analysis of the shows, I've decided to analyze the songs as well.
Oh Juliet! What is a rose, by any other... lyric?

Power Rangers... Megaforce!
I literally felt sick. Didn't help that I played Antichamber with its weird framerate before watching it.

Vs...

Ah!
After 1000 years, I'm free!
It's time to conquer Earth!
Alpha, recruit a team of teenagers with attitude!
Go Go Power Rangers!
Go Go Power Rangers!
Go Go Power Rangers! Mighty Morphin Power Ranger-ers!
Go Go Power Rangers!
Go Go Power Rangers!
Go Go Power Rangers, You Mighty Morphin Power Ranger-ers!
They've got-
A power and a force that you've never seen before!
They've got-
A power and a force that can even up the score!
No-
one-
can ever take them down!
The powers on their si-yi-yi-yi-(a million)-ides!

Repeat chorus.

Not to mention that Power Rangers did not only consist of a mere theme song. It was a opera and ballet of music. Not a shouting match. The silences of In Space building up what was behind the shadows of the universe. The classical music of Lost Galaxy demonstrating what kind of legend Lost Galaxy would present.
