No profit has/or will be made off this video.
“Does the Welsh fireman cartoon really need a guitar solo?”
“I believe it does, yes.”
It was the 80s. Everything had guitar solos back then
The most incredibly underrated and undiscussed aspect of this theme tune is the way the tone and pace of the lyrics has been made to mimic the two-tone siren of a fire engine.
It took until I was an adult and showed Fireman Sam to my 2 year old nephew to realise this.
HOLY FUCK YOURE RIGHT!
....
*realisation*
HOLY SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT
😮
People really put a lot more thought into theme tunes back then.
I actually became a firefighter with my local brigade and I played this on my car stereo on the way to my first shift. Best experience ever
+Rex97 good choice. Or you could have played the London's burning theme
Damn that sounds really cool
Respect to you my friend!
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 or Fireman by Lil Wayne
Now YOU’RE the hero next door!
this has absolutely no right to slap this hard.
Hits harder than my dad's belt!
Genuinely one of the greatest songs ever written
Truly
this is objectively the best television theme song ever produced
That, and Ducktales.
Greatest American Hero has a pretty good one

Much agreed . The eighties were a time of explosion in culture and music. Boy, I wish I grew in it at times. The original Thomas was the heart of my childhood and only saw the modern take on shows like Fireman Sam wnd Postman Pat. But now I appreciate the older shows always so much more and that of the themes. They are aren’t kiddish like now a days, they’re art.
this theme really brings out the 80s feel
SquidKid this is from the 80's
Me: yo, pass the aux cord
Friend: you better not play trash
Me:
Born in 1996 I am very thankful I was probably part of the very last generation of children to witness these old shows in stop motion pre CGI. Kids now probably prefer CGI and it does look better granted but can't beat the nostalgia for those of us who have grown up on the old stuff!
Kids don’t prefer CGI executives prefer CGI because it’s cheaper to render it than animate in stop motion
The reason that CGI has taken favour in children’s media is because it’s less expensive
I was born in the mid 2000s and I grew up with a ton of these older shows as I owned them on dvd
@@Melo23982 Me too
This doesn't hit quite like remembering 1995 and watching this 😅
The whole guitar solo from 1:26 to 1:42 is actually legendary! It's so good!
I’m playing my air guitar to that!
This whole song gives me Full House vibes....
@thebcplayer it’s actually a keyboard solo with a guitar filter
I like to think of Elvis playing this solo lol
@@Thatchannelnoonelikes_only the middle part of it is, the rest is actual guitar
if you didn't grow up with this version you missed out
also this was the first video i watch in 2024
WE MAKIN' OUT OF PONTYPANDY WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I grew up watching tapes of this when I was younger back in 2010, and it's the best fireman sam in my opinion
So nostalgic it gives me shivers XD
True, There's No Denying That The 80s Had The Best Kids Theme Songs, Danger Mouse, The Trapdoor, Postman Pat, Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends, Fireman Sam, Well, The List Goes On & On & On!
Same. so much better than the new CGI bullcrap!!
I strongly miss these stop motion shows that were around when I was kid. Another from the same company as this was Joshua Jones, but there was also Postman Pat and Charlie Chalk from the Ivor Wood company. Oh, I nearly forgot the Trapdoor, that was another one.
@@spinballpac-man I LIKE CGI FIREMAN SAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PhantomStrider Strider's a Fireman Sam fan? Well, to quote the man himself...
"Great fires of London!"
Fireman Sam Rating
1987 Perfect!
2003 Noice!
2008 WTF???
2017 AAAAAAH MY EYES!!!!
Wait, what happened in 2017?
@j4y33k4y j4y Fireman Allah will be the best. Inshallah!
This.
Mason MacDonald probably shittier CGI and Norman getting dumber and more annoying idk I’ve only watched the classic episodes and the stop motion and a small bit of the CGI (gave up after one episode) stick to the classic ones and the stop motion
John Crichton Sam is a good Christian man
I never watched this show growing up, but the theme song goes hard. I think I probably would have liked this show if I had watched it as a kid
When he hears that fire bell chime,
Fireman Sam is there on time.
Putting on his coat and hat,
In less than seven seconds flat.
He's always on the scene.
Fireman Sam!
And his engine's bright and clean.
Fireman Sam!
You cannot ignore,
Sam is the hero next door.
Driving down the busy streets,
Greeting people that he meets.
Someone could be in a jam,
So, hurry hurry Fireman Sam.
So move aside, make way.
Fireman Sam!
'Cos he's gonna save the day.
Fireman Sam!
He's the one we adore.
Sam is the hero next door.
When he's fighting fires,
He's always cool and calm.
And everyone admires,
When there's a fire alarm.
The way he never tires,
He always sees it through
And that's true.
Hey!
So move aside, make way.
Fireman Sam!
'Cause he's gonna save the day.
Fireman Sam!
He's the one we adore.
Sam is the hero next door.
So move aside, make way.
Fireman Sam!
'Cause he's gonna save the day.
Fireman Sam!
He's the one we adore.
Sam is the hero next door.
If your kite's caught in a tree,
Sam will climb and set it free.
If you're stuck give him a shout.
Sam will always help you out.
Hooray for Fireman Sam!
He's always brave and strong.
Hooray for Fireman Sam!
And when there's something wrong.
He'll always be along
To help both you and me
Don't you see.
He's always on the scene.
Fireman Sam!
And his engine's bright and clean.
Fireman Sam!
You cannot ignore,
Sam is the hero next door.
Everybody knows
Fireman Sam.
Dressed in his fireman's clothes.
Fireman Sam!
Well, we've seen him before.
Sam is the hero next door.
So move aside, make way.
Fireman Sam!
'Cause he's gonna save the day.
Fireman Sam!
He's the one we adore.
Sam is the hero next door.
He's always on the scene.
Fireman Sam!
And his engine's always bright and clean.
Fireman Sam!
You cannot ignore,
Sam is the hero next door.
Come on, Sam!
Fireman Sam!
It perfect
@@Fireboltman22 I thought it was suppost to end with sam is the hero next door but the theme faded away when it was still going on
@@jamesmartin2063 well I think it is sposed to be part of the song ??
I'm Welsh & I loved this when I was younger
This genuinely sounds like something you’d hear, or at least be able to recreate, on a Nintendo 64.
Kids shows in the 80's had the best themes ever composed
Most agreed!
Absolutely.
HampshireNutjob and this also showed why the 80s is probably the best era to live in, I wish I was alive back then
Yes sir
Old fireman sam has nothing to do with new fireman sam or 2003 fireman sam
An underrated nostalgic late 80s classic
Don't mind me, writing this for my own reference:
Coming to this after Leafy from BFB said the word "Fireman" to Firey in the last moments of BFB 30, and it instantly gave me flash of memory. And I had just finished watching BFB at this time, one year late.
One of the best kid's theme songs ever written.
Even though I was born around the time of cgi fireman Sam, thanks to some old video tapes I was able to grow up watching the *real* fireman Sam
Thank goodness for your generation
I'm raising my kids on the original shows. Postman Pat, Pingu, Thomas the tank Engine, Bob the Builder and of course the legendary Fireman Sam 🚒
@@jacobmassey3897 don't forget super Ted
And I used to watch the The 2003 stop motion series
@@AECEntertainment as well as Bananaman count Duckula Bertha and trap door
Excellent, forgot how good this is.
I got my 2022 recap today and apparently this is my most listened to song of the year.
The only kids theme tune I can think of that has a killer guitar solo.
This really works well. The extra lyrics rock and this sounds way better than the newer version we have now.
Never realised you were a fan of Fireman Sam!
I've been a fan of the show since I was little.
Y ju
CraneProductions27 Me too Ross me too. The stopmotion and CGI series might not be as good as the original but they are both still great and underrated if you ask me.
So was I and still am.
This is the first time I'm hearing this extended version of the song and I think it's better than the original length
I know, it's pretty rad to discover a song you love has an alternative version to enjoy
Agreed!
this slaps so hard wtf
This is brilliant I’ve had this song in my head all day
I’ve had it in my head all bloody week!! It’s when the beat’s so bouncy and the singer’s so invested...like Mona the Vampire, Dick & Dom, Count Duckula, Digimon & Gummi Bears, just to name a few
When I was a toddler, I actually phoned the fire brigade and asked for Fireman Sam. XD.
Lol. Are you for real?
lol i done the same when i was young. i said help theres a fire at the floods house. the woman told me off but my mum had ago at her because i was only like 5 at the time and was autistic and still am. still shouldnt of done it
.-.
Joseph Marrison Really? I’m lucky I didn’t do that when I was a toddler!
I did the same lol
Put this song on for my boys earlier. It brought me away back to when I was a kid and brought back happy memories. This has got to be the best theme song ever for a cartoon show. Loved the first episodes of fireman Sam compared to the recent ones
My Fireman Sam rating:
1987-1994: Awesome!
2003-2005: The best! And my childhood too!
2008-2009: Disgraceful! Disgusting! Despicable!
2012: Much better CGI animation!
2014: Much better!
2016: The best CGI era!
2017: Good 30th Anniversary celebrational episode!
2018: Okay season, but great film!
2020: Great!
2021-2022: A huge improvement!
Agreed
If You Hate 2008 fireman Sam! I’ll Repect your opinion.
Disgraceful! Disgusting! Despicable! is what gordon james and henry said gordon said Disgraceful james said Disgusting and henry said Despicable
@@jamesmartin2063 I Know
Nice Thomas the Tank Engine reference for the 2008-2009 one.
🎵 He’s always on the scene! Fireman Sam! 🎵
🎵And his engine's bright and clean! Fireman Sam!🎵
Back when shows weren't reboots ❤❤
I love this with all my heart :)
Hearing this song makes me feel like I'm 5 years old again.
Never watched this show, but the song and animation style remind me of my childhood, in a kids' toy/public television kind of way. :)
It's a nice song to listen to on a rainy day.
The fact that "cool and calm" and "fire alarm" are in this song is scary because they are in the 2002 revamp lyrics.
+Anthony Alzamora Yeah, thank god xD
+Anthony Alzamora i was born in 2002 and i think the second revamp started in 2003

STUPID!!!!
This song goes so hard fucking hell
Weird how chill this low tempo version is
My happy childhood memories 🥰
I hate it when shows get ruined because of CGI bob the builder and fireman Sam and Thomas and friends have had this done too them there really nostalgic but then it gets ruined
Edit:I rewatched the old and some new fireman Sam episodes the new one are alright never will be the level of the original
Edit 2: still bad
Ye true just saying but it became shit when they added black people
Exactly the writing Took a nosedive
Definitely one of the best kids show theme songs of all time.
18 people had their houses burned down by one of Norman Price's pranks
lol
19 mow
It's now 25
oof
HampshireNutjob
Sounds like something CGI Norman would do
I had original vhs videos of Fireman Sam as a kid along with Thomas the tank engine, Postman Pat, Brum, Pingu and many more. I wish I'd kept them just for the pure nostalgia since I don't have anything to play them on anymore.
So glad I grew up to this version of Fireman Sam
I wish this was still the theme song!
This theme really is such a banger! Truly the 80's gave us some of the greatest show themes ever.
never grew up with this show but can i say that this theme is straight fire!?
I love that slap guitar in this. Sounds a lot like Sponge
BBC series fireman Sam show was my favourite as a kid in the early 90's . the old fireman Sam theme song still put a smile on my face !
Lyrics: When he hears that fire bell chime Fireman Sam is there on time Putting on his coat and hat In less than seven seconds flat He's always on the scene Fireman Sam!

0:16 This Fireman Sam The Original Series Theme Song Is So Funky. I've Loved Disco Dancing Fever. Thanks Mate. X
I love the original classic fireman Sam series from 1987 to 1994
Same!
A trip back to 1984/85, with the pre-Kings Cross disaster uniforms consisting of: polymer helmets(without eye shields) woollen Jackets & waterproof yellow trousers. A different world, but the best theme tune of all of the eras of Fireman Sam.
This is just a hunch, but something tells me Sam is the hero next door
How did you possibly have that ridiculous revelation?
Listening to this makes me feel about 7 again.
Used to have all the videos back in the days
Canny beat the PROPER Fireman Sam.
Makes me feel about 5
I remember firemen sam and again it brings back memories and I could watch this for hours on end
I can imagine Elvis doing the guitar solo.
Everytime I hear everybody wants to rule the world it makes me think of fireman Sam...
Always mishearing “Engines bright and clean” as “Engines bright green”, yet HourofPoop replaced it with “Engine is John Cleese”
נכון סמי הכבאי נועם את מלח הארץ
This is so nostalgic and classic!
I remember watching this on Jim Jam back in 2013.

This really was the true fireman Sam not the cgi nowadays with all the character changes and everything that doesn’t make sense.
Fireman Sam should be something to be remember during the time of this theme song.
Back when the shows actually respected the kids' potential cleverness, but today, they focus way too much to respect them, that at the end, I can easily say that they are being purely hypocritical.
They usually never outright stated the morals in shows like sam or thomas in the older episodes and respected the viewers intelligence. To put it short they didnt think we were stupid.
Love the guitar solo in this wee tune.
unironically good holy fuck
Nostalgia and memories are killing me...
I like this music.
I love this theme and era the most.
I’m a firefighter in east London at Bethnal Green tower hamlets I listen to this on the way to work on the bus
I Used To Watch Original Fireman Sam On DVD In My Childhood
This is my Jam man!
I watched this on Jim jam before. Along with thomas and friends and postman pat. Always premiered with seasons 1-4
I remember Singing the theme songs When I was 4
The classic perfect song
There is no reason for the theme song to a kids show to go this hard 🔥🔥
I grew up with the cgi version then one day I discovered the 87’ version and I never went back to the Cgi version after that day 😂
Tiktok sent me
I love the 80’s rock pop into that song. I love the original Fireman Sam more so than the CGI one.
kidtommes world shut up
@@KSAM428 it's great not terrible
Its amazing are and nostalgic why do you say stop motion is cheep it take more effort and love than cgi. You violated the rules about old shows.

My childhood in a nutshell me and my mum used to watch this all the time as a kid
I love this new theme I love the interments and the people signing
This theme kinda made me cry 😢
Maybe because of the nostalgia
@@Wilsonsupremo oh
Cool That Also My Favourite Fireman Sam Theme!👍
The 2008 reboot isn't that bad... at least, compared to 2017. Then again, I grew up with the reboot
Same
Season 1-4: Love youuu
Season 5: Kinda love you.
Season 6-8: Hate you.
Season 9-onward: Wow, shut the heck up.
Okay
another kids show that was ruined by CGI
It's all because of UK taxation for animation, that's all.
NWR1991 yep but why why do they butcher our shows when were kids why
+NWR1991 Oh is that the reason? I asumed it was because it was easy to just shove somebody onto a computer and make him puke out the lowest quality 3d models they can get away with. I really wish there was more animation of models. On the bright side, 2D animation on flash has gotten to the point where it isn't horrible to look at.
+triple h fan 7 Well they wouldn't dare show the original series. We are politically correct now, don'tcha know? We can't have Bella with her stereotypical Italian phrases and Dilly's bitching at her regularly for it. XD
Tozzywozzy01 Blame David Cameron, he's got half the IQ of a cornflake.
Yes yes my favorite shows I love fireman sam🚒
I still remember that one episode where he helped one woman get out of an elevator
9k
Ok
I remember that too
I watched this episode 3 weeks ago
That episode was "Home From Rome" (Series 4, Episode 1), and he helped Bella Lasagne and her cat Rosa out of the stuck elevator. I like that episode. :)
