Hi, my name is Dennis and I was born in 1974 here in Denmark, as a neighboring country to Germany, we could see German television in the 80's, so I ran around trying to sing the song even though I did not understood English. Best series as a child 😉
The Fall Guy, Hardcastle and McCormick, Manimal, The Adventures of Matthew Star, MacGyver, Knight Rider, Street Hawk, Airwolf, The Misfits of Science, Hunter, Night Heat, In The Heat of the Night, The Wizard, The Twilight Zone (80's version), USA Saturday Nightmares, Tales From The Darkside, Downtown, Tours of Duty, Crazy Like A Fox, Simon and Simon, Sledge Hammer, Dukes of Hazzard, The Equalizer, and Houston Night all my old eighties favorite. TV ain't the same no more.
I use to watch all of these as a kid because cartoons stopped airing after 4 pm, and if you wanted to watch TV you had to watch what your parents watched. I miss that time.
I am from Germany. And let me tell you that we have a good taste for music. At least most of us. It's a catchy tune so why not make it number one on the hitlist. ;)
I think he was just trying to be humble and down play it, Lee's a cool dude. Of course Germany has great taste in music and great music came out of Germany, especially 80's Electro music. Germany fuckin Rocks...
the first time I heard Lee Majors sing was "Sweet Jamie", on the Six Million Dollar Man. That man could act and sing. His voice is country and him singing The Fall Guy theme is perfect! ❤️
I`m German...and I know something about music. Of course, this theme is only a simple country style song, but - it`s joyful, harmonic and just fitting. So for me there`s nothing about "not much about music understanding Germans", but simply a happy crowd of people, who like to listen to a simply fitting piece of music...
@@poppyland74 This would be a joke? Not a good one, can tell you that. So he`s living up to the stereotype of Americans telling flat jokes. By the way, my father WAS an American...
The good old 80s. Lee Majors No.1 in germany. And today,Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are No.1 in the US. Yeah...we germans don`t know much about music! :-))
Oh God!! More than 40 years had to pass to be able to locate this beautiful band and this spectacular singer. I grew up watching "Profession Danger" the Spanish translation of this series. Thanks to this song I knew country music existed and I loved it. Greetings from a Colombian in Spain!!
Man, thank you for this. I find myself coming back to this video every couple of years. I know it was just a TV show, but I remember it well. With everything that’s changed-pandemic, social media, AI, politics....it’s refreshing to have a good old song like this for the soul. :)
Well Lee, it was a hit in Germany not only because of the music - the first thing everybody thinks about is Heather Thomas in the intro opening the swing doors. To me she was a goddess - and I am a girl, by the way. It is sad to hear Lee Majors talking that way about a song that gave him so much success and was fun for so many people. It ruined my childhood a little bit.... thanks for that Mr. Majors
That was great, this show made me get into movies, become a bouncer, bodyguard, and eventually do some light acting but more stunts and S f/x work. Couldn’t have done it without “The Fall Guy from the early ‘80s. I had no idea that was an actual job until that show came out. I was 6 when the Fall Guy came out. I always loved the show and this song. It’s always resonated through my life and I love this version you and your guys made. Much love.
Watching this after seeing The Fall Guy Movie. I was obsessed with the TV Show as a kid and the movie was great too! But it's also reinvigorated my love for the original show!
My dad used to love this show... This song is such a MAN'S song! I used to jump off furniture, swing off buildings(Thanks Ted..bad influence male friend) Grandmother knew I was going to grow up into the FALL Guy. That ended with the first broken arm c.1989 and mother's first doctor's bill! LOL.
I am no country music fan, but I really like this song, so I understand why this song was a hit in Germany. Lee Majors sure can sing. He got the good country voice and the manly looks for the Fall Guy.
Heard my mom n family had made their mark in Stunts (Hal Neeham, Donners, plus paternal line loving that adrenaline of racing). Cool to see everyone jam to the original long after "fall guy" n many friend in the biz doing some stuff that made movies ...EPIC! Cheers to the pioneers.
I'm 32 now and I still remember The Fall Guy. And MacGuyver, Knight Rider, Dukes of Hazzard, Blue Thunder, A-Team, Simon and Simon, and other tv shows that made tv awesome to watch that I may have forgotten to mention. Oh yeah, and Sledge Hammer. What do we have today? Some bullshit called reality tv. Bring back the 80's. Hell, why not bring the 70's back, too.
The German-dubbed version of "The Fall Guy" is far more entertaining than the original broadcast - so the success of the main theme was just a sign of the success of the show.
He was just kinda making fun of himself, since everyone says that he isn't a singer! Personally, I love the song, and think his singing voice, showcased in the Fall Guy, and in a few rare occasions of the Six Million Dollar Man, is very fine! It's certainly not bad!
Ive heard this many times 40years ago every Friday night. But today it made me sad/ happy understanding its true message of memorial day and the fallen ones, so other angels can have the quality of life. The fallens are the sacrificial lambs
(Verse 1) I’m not the kind to kiss and tell, But I’ve been seen with Tesla. I’ve driven stunts for Bond as well, Escape scenes? A real pressure. (Chorus) ‘Cause I’m the unknown stuntman, Makes Eastwood look so fine. (Verse 2) I’ve jumped from roofs in Dubai’s heat, Dodged drones in city chases. On Instagram my feats compete, With likes on all my faces. (Chorus) ‘Cause I’m the unknown stuntman, That Redford wishes he could be. (Bridge) I might leap from the tallest buildings, Or ski the wildest snow, Race my bike through fire and smoke, Just for that action show. (Verse 3) I’ve rocked the Marvel universe, Stood in for heroes’ flights. Through screens, my legacy traverses, In rapid pixel lights. (Chorus) But I’m the unknown stuntman, That's me up there in the CGI. (Tag) And when the day wraps, I'm the last to go, Even though my name, they hardly know. But stunts are my game, and I'm here for the thrill, I'm the unsung hero, living for the skill. credit to Lee Majors and The Fall Guy as the inspiration for the derivative work!
Lee Majors about #1 hits in Germany: "They don't know much about music." As a German 80s kid I kind of share this statement. When I see what "international" music goes up to #1 or even stays in the top 10 for a while I'm just like "wtf is that". When I google the bands or singers and where they come from I often see that they are not likely successful in their home country (or not yet). For me personally those kind of 80s series music themes (Fall Guy, Hardcastle&McCormick, Dukes of Hazzard or even themes without singing) would still dominate the top 10 way beyond from Taylor Swift, Jason Darulo, Dua Lipa and other annoying artificial music.
"I guess they don't know anything about music over there..." lol!! THIS is why Lee Majors is my favorite actor!! though many don't I think his version of "the unknown stuntman" was absolutely great! (better than the crap they call music nowadays, anyways..)
Even then when this was recorded Lee Major was always humbled by the women he had.. Just the way he does not like to name drop Farah name .. he just says, you know that girl Farah. I only recognize this because It's something I am myself have much humility about. Don't name drop your bitches names.

misma edad también soy modelo 74 ;)
'74 here from Italy! The show was quite popular here as well. Now I play it on my guitar. 😁
In America 🇺🇸 we were wild about the song 🎶 and the tv 📺 show too. Heather Thomas was a favorite of the guys. I have always loved Lee Majors ❤
@@edenlarryz9076haha 😄 nice !
i like the way Lee Majors sings it.i always liked the fall guy one of my favorite shows
Me too, I wonder did he ever considering covering the song Midnight Plane to Houston?
Lee totally nailed it. His is THE definitive version.
I’m just finding this in 2024, 15 years after it came out. Glad I got to see, hope those guys in the band are doing okay, very talented. ❤
0:51 Lee is such a humble guy and never gave himself enough credit.
I hope The Fall Guy cast had endless love and happiness throughout their lives. What a great show.
The Fall Guy, Hardcastle and McCormick, Manimal, The Adventures of Matthew Star, MacGyver, Knight Rider, Street Hawk, Airwolf, The Misfits of Science, Hunter, Night Heat, In The Heat of the Night, The Wizard, The Twilight Zone (80's version), USA Saturday Nightmares, Tales From The Darkside, Downtown, Tours of Duty, Crazy Like A Fox, Simon and Simon, Sledge Hammer, Dukes of Hazzard, The Equalizer, and Houston Night all my old eighties favorite.

I use to watch all of these as a kid because cartoons stopped airing after 4 pm, and if you wanted to watch TV you had to watch what your parents watched. I miss that time.
CHIPS. The A team.
I really like Night Heat. The show had a great vibe.
BLESS
What about the muppet show? Great post thank and God Bless
I am from Germany. And let me tell you that we have a good taste for music. At least most of us. It's a catchy tune so why not make it number one on the hitlist. ;)
Hahahaha...
It is well known that Beethoven sucks at 80's tubes...
He was more famous in the end of 70's, with his fifth... (Overused in Derrick...)
I think he was just trying to be humble and down play it, Lee's a cool dude.
Of course Germany has great taste in music and great music came out of Germany, especially 80's Electro music. Germany fuckin Rocks...
beo you guys think knightrider can sing even the guy singing says you guys suck at music
@@jasonshasen Go troll somewhere else, momma's boy!
NOT TROLLING JUST FACT
the first time I heard Lee Majors sing was "Sweet Jamie", on the Six Million Dollar Man. That man could act and sing. His voice is country and him singing The Fall Guy theme is perfect! ❤️
I remember as a child staying with my grandparents prob 4 or 5 at the time...we never missed an episode..really great memories for me.😊
Me too.
Me too - always watched it at my grandparents when we stayed over ( I’m in the uk) 8pm Friday nights - they loved it too ( as I remember)
I`m German...and I know something about music. Of course, this theme is only a simple country style song, but - it`s joyful, harmonic and just fitting. So for me there`s nothing about "not much about music understanding Germans", but simply a happy crowd of people, who like to listen to a simply fitting piece of music...
Said like a German.
@@darthvader5701 Quite senseless remark.
@@Jagertal He's teasing you! Don't live up to the stereotype of Germans having no sense of humour as well as not having any sense of good music!
@@poppyland74 This would be a joke? Not a good one, can tell you that. So he`s living up to the stereotype of Americans telling flat jokes. By the way, my father WAS an American...
@@poppyland74 And once again: Why in all the world is Country bad music? It`s clearly not!
Wonderful...!!!..a big hello from Colombia...so many fans here.
The good old 80s. Lee Majors No.1 in germany. And today,Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are No.1 in the US. Yeah...we germans don`t know much about music! :-))
NO!!
Lol !
Lee Majors has self deprecating humor. The song was fabulous. Germans have great taste.
Oh God!! More than 40 years had to pass to be able to locate this beautiful band and this spectacular singer. I grew up watching "Profession Danger" the Spanish translation of this series. Thanks to this song I knew country music existed and I loved it. Greetings from a Colombian in Spain!!
Lee majors..class act..six million?...six billion wouldn't build a new one🤠👍
Man, thank you for this. I find myself coming back to this video every couple of years. I know it was just a TV show, but I remember it well. With everything that’s changed-pandemic, social media, AI, politics....it’s refreshing to have a good old song like this for the soul. :)
40 years later and I've finally heard the real version!
Smashing theme song ! Great tv show..! God, I miss so bad the good old 80's..!
Well Lee, it was a hit in Germany not only because of the music - the first thing everybody thinks about is Heather Thomas in the intro opening the swing doors. To me she was a goddess - and I am a girl, by the way. It is sad to hear Lee Majors talking that way about a song that gave him so much success and was fun for so many people. It ruined my childhood a little bit.... thanks for that Mr. Majors
Lee Majors was only making fun of himself and not really questioning Germans taste in music.
I'm 14 and those are the only kinds of shows i watch...and anything Lee Majors! (He's AWESOME!) ;)
Loved this show and the theme tune was iconic!!
I was a huge fan of that show.
I really love this series til today, the Falling guy, with lee Majors, happy weekend to you, from germany, Bavaria 😁😊
I totally remeber the show and loved it as a 10 year old. STill do at 40!!
Majors was WAY BETTER.
That was great, this show made me get into movies, become a bouncer, bodyguard, and eventually do some light acting but more stunts and S f/x work. Couldn’t have done it without “The Fall Guy from the early ‘80s. I had no idea that was an actual job until that show came out. I was 6 when the Fall Guy came out.

Thankyou Ms Markie Post for Terri Michaels, Love all the way to Heaven.
Watching this after seeing The Fall Guy Movie. I was obsessed with the TV Show as a kid and the movie was great too! But it's also reinvigorated my love for the original show!
Hey, WOW such a treat to hear the actual song sang by David Somerville himself. TYVVM !
Had no idea he wrote it! Today I learned something new lol
Theme song and show were awesome the GMC truck made an impression on me.
My dad used to love this show... This song is such a MAN'S song! I used to jump off furniture, swing off buildings(Thanks Ted..bad influence male friend) Grandmother knew I was going to grow up into the FALL Guy. That ended with the first broken arm c.1989 and mother's first doctor's bill! LOL.

Damn straight it was a hit record in Germany!

i just named my 2 month old Lab Sonny Hooper Needham!
Absolutely Brilliant !
They're ones monsters in the music and this song is amazing.
Thank you so much for the video
Great song. I remember watching The Fall Guy.
I loved this song, and I loved the series as a child. And today I love this accoustic version, too. Maybe, because I don´t know much about music ;-)
Love this song
Great 📺 introduction song!
I always loved this tune!! And this live performance is terrific! Thanks for posting this...brilliant.
I love this version!! Timeless tv show!!!

Amazing!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing this. It's priceless.
Its a beautiful country tune
This show was very popular in Germany, I remember watching it as a kid and that catchy theme song.
Lee Majors is cool! LEE!!!! Majors Lee
Well done, I enjoyed hearing the complete song.
Cool story, remember this from way back. And here’s my favorite.
Gentlemen thank you for the beautiful childhood memories
Good actor in his day
The German-dubbed version of "The Fall Guy" is far more entertaining than the original broadcast - so the success of the main theme was just a sign of the success of the show.
wow! what a performance
1:08 as a kid: wow! riding in the back of the truck! Today: wow! Boobs!
I love fall guy and all the stunts Lee my hero
Those lyrics...Unbelievably GREAT!!! Awsome song/composition! I like this version very much!
That is an Awesome Theme song, and stays in Mind even after so many years. And Yes i am german. That Series was part of my Childhood, and the song to.
Can't call the Germans, I love this song and it is my favorite karaoke track, only problem is that it's too short.
Talented. Magic.
loved this in the 80s thx for posting
GREAT!!!!!
He was just kinda making fun of himself, since everyone says that he isn't a singer! Personally, I love the song, and think his singing voice, showcased in the Fall Guy, and in a few rare occasions of the Six Million Dollar Man, is very fine! It's certainly not bad!

Freaking cool... I grew up watching the TV show in Spanish and never imagined how cool was in English
I agree with Sara. Loved FALL GUY TOO.Hope METV, or Antenna TV. Or TV LAND.
Super série, super musique ! Merci !
I think this song is great, it's catchy.
There is good music and bad music, this is just a good Country tune, and that's it...
Great!!
i was looking for the fall guys game theme song but i found this
(Verse 1)
I’m not the kind to kiss and tell,
But I’ve been seen with Tesla.
I’ve driven stunts for Bond as well,
Escape scenes? A real pressure.
(Chorus)
‘Cause I’m the unknown stuntman,
Makes Eastwood look so fine.
(Verse 2)
I’ve jumped from roofs in Dubai’s heat,
Dodged drones in city chases.
On Instagram my feats compete,
With likes on all my faces.
(Chorus)
‘Cause I’m the unknown stuntman,
That Redford wishes he could be.
(Bridge)
I might leap from the tallest buildings,
Or ski the wildest snow,
Race my bike through fire and smoke,
Just for that action show.
(Verse 3)
I’ve rocked the Marvel universe,
Stood in for heroes’ flights.
Through screens, my legacy traverses,
In rapid pixel lights.
(Chorus)
But I’m the unknown stuntman,
That's me up there in the CGI.
(Tag)
And when the day wraps, I'm the last to go,
Even though my name, they hardly know.
But stunts are my game, and I'm here for the thrill,
I'm the unsung hero, living for the skill. credit to Lee Majors and The Fall Guy as the inspiration for the derivative work!
ohhh men that was great thank you for sharing
Real fine!
Glen A Larson! THE man.
Banger!!

Cool song love this one also
don't know much about music but
I like this song...,
Awesome and amazing
Its my ringtone
I've never heard this version before! Put a huge grin on my face.
Thanx for uploading !!!
I don't think his comments were made to be disrespectful to Germans. I think he was making fun of his singing voice.
That was great, you guys!
日本で放送は深夜でしたが見ていました、今度映画になるそうでどのように変わったか楽しみです
That was cool...
In German we've played this song on school-partys
:) Merry Christmas from Germany! :D
Lee Majors is a legend!
Even then when this was recorded Lee Major was always humbled by the women he had.. Just the way he does not like to name drop Farah name .. he just says, you know that girl Farah. I only recognize this because It's something I am myself have much humility about. Don't name drop your bitches names.
Who are the 10 liberals who disliked this?
Jason Brisco I am a liberal and I love this song. Why's everybody always picking on me.
Because you care what others think.... stop that! ;)
⬆ ...Dildo
wow, hope your taking your meds
@TRIGMASTER06 Yes. I agree. Can't forget those great shows :)
Thx. Love it
brilliant !
nice
