It seems to correspond with the past, regret, childhood, etc. Clint Eastwood and company are all young, and now looking at them you realize we all get older, and we face our own mortality. Its an upbeat song but with the lyrics of having burned bridges, meaning relationships, having had to let go of people that meant alot to us. It reminds me that I'm middle aged, and my childhood is gone.
This is one of the most overlooked movies..It had a great plot..An adventure movie set during WW II searching for gold..A hippie during 1944, 1945. That makes Oddball a man ahead of his time..Plus you had Clint w Kojak and some of the best character actors of the time..It had great spirit and a soundtrack..
Makes me want to watch it though if not for my dad I would never have found this awesome movie. Clint Eastwood doesn’t think much of it but this is a classic. Sorry none of my three children will watch it with me and they don’t know what they are missing
This song reminds me of when my youngest daughter was on drugs. She thought of only of herself at the time. Now she is on her way to a drug free life for over 10 years now. I am a proud dad once again. This is such a great song.
"This tank stinks, the fuel system leaks everywhere...." Great video Connie, well put together, and really did justice to the move. One last line "The war is 30 miles from where you thought it was" The General (Carrol O'Connor)...DeGaulle...DeGaulle...
There is a phrase "Don't burn your bridges behind you" and it means do not cut your ties or leave people or a situation in such a state that you cannot go back.
great movie and great theme song. It is one of my favorites. I am not a war movie person at all, but like comment made before its more like a comedy. The actors cast fit the characters like a glove. DR as (crapgame), DS as (oddball) and his anti negative ways, TS with (up yours baby), he used that phrase in Kojak and all the other actors that fit their parts so well. I had a 45 of "Burning Bridges" when I was a kid and I wore it out.
I understand the song's connection to the movie a lot more than I understand the "Helmet covers" whose purpose is to hold vegetation and help them blend into a forest/jungle background. The fighting in an urban and farm environment in this movie
Nice. Best of 3 I checked out on UA-cam. I don't think everyone realizes that they are headed for Switzerland in the end (except the sunset puts them going the wrong way at first...), hence the song "Burning Bridges": they aren't going back home.
I saw this movie when it first came to theaters in early 70ties,and since I saw it at least 10 times. I was replying to Mr.Justterry. you simpleton. You see that's the way it works at UA-cam, people write comments,and other people reply. Got it ?
God i cant find any words for this song and like jet3717 said below i also want this song to be played at my funeral but at mine i want N&W A Class blowing its whistle for 5 minutes straight
A very unique and well made WWII European theatre movie with a great tune to accompany it. I sometimes wonder if it's also trying to send out a message?
stealthfighter you were never in the service! they left their brothers for gold! Anyone who has ever been in combat knows that you dont fight for God and Country,, you fight for the guy next to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its the third most saddest song i have ever heard at least to my mind i categorize this as a sad song because the man singing was telling us that if he or she have listend to his/her friends etc etc anyways its third first is the german song Ich Hatt Einen Kameraden and second frank sinatra My way
Kellys Heros is on in 45 minutes . Check out the Military Channel . Thats 17:00 Hrs. Friday night . Its on again tomorrow , same Bat time same , Bat channel .
@stealthfighter077 "All the burning bridges that have fallen after me... " Maybe becouse kellys man were destroying everything on their way to get the gold ?
I would like to have 14 thousand Gold bars the 5 gold bars i will use it to my family's need and 4 Gold bars for me and 3 gold bars to my savings and the remaining 2 gold bars will be given to the poor not in charity i have no trust to them
@stealthfighter077 You left everything behind and join the war bruh and when u come back from war you left that life behind..meaning burning bridges life move on
I may grow older but nobody can ever take the memories I have stacked up over the years..All 66 of them...
Burning Bridges is the best song I have ever listened to.

this movies is one of the classics.

This is a great song and I LOVE Kelly's Heros

AFTER MY PASSING THIS IS ONE SONG I WISH TO BE PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL.
Kelly (Clint Eastwood)
is pure awesomeness!!!!!
Makes me want to watch it though if not for my dad I would never have found this awesome movie. Clint Eastwood doesn’t think much of it but this is a classic. Sorry none of my three children will watch it with me and they don’t know what they are missing
This is one of the greatest war movies as it isnt a drama, but a comedy. The song is like the bridges they had to cross that were destroyed and such.
My favorite movie of all time. Donald Sutherland's character "Oddball" is awesome.
Always loved this song....thanks for the tune and the clips from a good movie!
Awesome song awesome movie. Long Live Eastwood.
I own a WW2 halftrack & Kelly's Heroes is part of the reason!
To all the Veterans that made our Country the Greatest-thank you for your sacrifices. God Bless!

One of my all time favourite movies
Best movie ever made!
I'm one of the "masses" and I LOVE this!
There is a phrase "Don't burn your bridges behind you" and it means do not cut your ties or leave people or a situation in such a state that you cannot go back.
I love the song. And the movie.
WHAT A GREAT SONG MAKES ME TAP MY FEET
I'm having this at my funeral. As the coffin goes behind the curtain. Great tune to leave on
Same place brother
It's a Mother BEAUTIFUL SONG, babe!
great movie and great theme song. It is one of my favorites. I am not a war movie person at all, but like comment made before its more like a comedy. The actors cast fit the characters like a glove.

It's about making choices, and dealing with it. Your life,your call.
ODBALL AND KELLY FAVORITE CHARECTERS OF THE MOVIE
Kelly's Heroes. Just watched it yesterday.
Good movie with an amazing sound track. I miss good war movies like that.
I understand the song's connection to the movie a lot more than I understand the "Helmet covers" whose purpose is to hold vegetation and help them blend into a forest/jungle background. The fighting in an urban and farm environment in this movie
Excellent video...
Fantastic movie...
Great song... :D
My favourite film of all time.
Excellent video from one of my favorite movies of all time!!... :D
Awesome film and song
"I'm drinking some wine, eating some cheese, and catching some rays."

I love this movie
Nice. Best of 3 I checked out on UA-cam. I don't think everyone realizes that they are headed for Switzerland in the end (except the sunset puts them going the wrong way at first...), hence the song "Burning Bridges": they aren't going back home.

stealthfighter
you were never in the service! they left their brothers for gold! Anyone who has ever been in combat knows that you dont fight for God and Country,, you fight for the guy next to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for info, good to know.
Donald Sutherland is a Graite Actor Just Like Clint Eastwood.
its the third most saddest song i have ever heard at least to my mind i categorize this as a sad song because the man singing was telling us that if he or she have listend to his/her friends etc etc anyways its third first is the german song Ich Hatt Einen Kameraden and second frank sinatra My way
reminds me of bad company, soliders looking for gold.
2:13 the only time in the film when Clint laughs
Sounds like a good song for the Partridge Family.
nostalgia
Jadakiss - '40 Bars of Terror'...check it out...dope song that samples thisss

Seem to be still burning them
indeed bud, great call
i like that song very music
stealthfighter077 : The meaning of the song is this : They went after the gold...all it cost was some of their best friends lives....
Yea now there are 2 with negative waves, sounds like there in the middle of a burning bridge on both ends. They need help!
Don't hit me with those negative waves so early in the morning...
Wof wof wof!
@stealthfighter077 in the movie they blew up a couple bridges
wats the name of this movie
yer when i heard the song i was like what ...wait isn't that one of the soldiers names but when i heard the lyrics i thought dam
Anyone know who played the German? He also played in The Great Escape.
@stealthfighter077 It might be teh bridges they had to cross to ge to the bank. That's what I think of when I hear it.
Well, at least one bridge...
@stealthfighter077 "All the burning bridges that have fallen after me... " Maybe becouse kellys man were destroying everything on their way to get the gold ?
I would like to have 14 thousand Gold bars the 5 gold bars i will use it to my family's need and 4 Gold bars for me and 3 gold bars to my savings and the remaining 2 gold bars will be given to the poor not in charity i have no trust to them
Why? Why! Why, why, WHY NOT!
It was gold that they stole. Watch the movie.
Woof-Woof. that's my other dog impression
2nd best...Great Escape is # 1 GI!!!
What did they steel ............rubles ?
It has NOTHING to do with the fillum, But both are still excellent.
No it's "But my name ain't Barbara!"
The copyright owners have started to remove this song off youtube have just
done it to me on 2 videos, so many negative waves man!
Why are Crippled Black Pheonix, whoever they are,claiming artistic copyright when this is obviously by Mike Curb Congregation?
Phew whats that smell ? ..... Kinda makes you homesick , don't it .
16 million dollars worth of gold butter
if i ever win the lottery this is the tune id play while sucking on a fat cigar.
No they stole Gold! Watch the movie.
"Up yours baby!"
what the hell were you waiting for
1 person with negative waves !!!
@stealthfighter077 You left everything behind and join the war bruh and when u come back from war you left that life behind..meaning burning bridges life move on
2:20 lol
