Very impressive! I am the singer on the original version, Larry Leon. It's kind of funny...with all of the recordings I've done throughout my life, I have never heard anyone cover any of the songs before. It's interesting to hear you articulate my inflections! Very good voice!
Holy f*ck you are? for real.. ? Thats so cool. You sang this intro totally great back then, and when i also found this cover i felt "wow" its somehow back :) very cool. Nice to "meet" you
armdnrdy My apologies, Larry. It's just that so many people claim to be who they're not and we tend to get a little bit skeptical about the whole thing. Once again, my apologies :)
Will Scarlett Hi Will, believe me, I only know 4 things in my life: 1 - Larry Leon sung the M.A.S.K. theme song. 2 - I know the face of Larry Leon since you can see him on the Xeron - "Does Anybody Hear..." album cover. 3 - As Larry and I are now friends on FB, I understood that this great man found his way through the years without a wrinkle ;) and last but not least: 4 - If I would have to portray someone online, I would pick Larry Leon...
@@yaboyj2191 In August this year, I will be 43 years old...I saw M.A.S.K. when I was 8 years old for the first time, in german television. So, I don´t think my maths are wrong....🙂
Wow its already been 10 years ... Think about that for a awhile...😢 This guy was onto something surely. Brilliant cover and great voice. To bad he didnt continue this journey. If we ever get a Mask remake id say contact this guy for the intro song!🎉🎉
Still listening 2020 🔥 80’s had the best kids cartoons (intro’s alone oscar worthy) 90’s had the best kids programs/series As an 80’s kid we had the best of both worlds 😁
@@24magiccarrot Streethawk has a darn good theme too. Swat Katz from the 1990's has a good theme, Gargoyles was a 90's show too and though it ended poorly it started very strongly. The Disney cartoons used to have really good sing alone themes too like Duck Tales for example.
I'm from Mexico and this was my favorite cartoon theme when I was a kid! And checking the comments I saw Larry Leon, so it's a dream come true! Just bought it from iTunes now, thank you!
This, to me, is a rarity: someone covers a cool song, and they eliminate or change absolutely nothing that made it cool. You also put a dash of style in that makes it coolER. And to have attracted compliments from its original vocalist says more than I ever could.
Now that is exceptionally impressive. Here I am at the age of 50, listening to some old soundtracks from the cartoons I used to watch, and what do I find? Your cover of this song in October 2021. And I found your cover of Ulysses. Well done mate. Very well done. Hopefully there is more to come from you. And thank you for sharing your version with the rest of us. Great memories.
After the first chorus I've pressed the "subscribe button" so fast. And the fact that Larry Leon gave you his blessing is the cherry on top the coolest cake ever.
Now round it out with some Golden Crisps, Count Chockula, Suger Smacks, Fruit Loops, or any thing that was “part of this complete breakfast.” Now I’ll go play w my Creepy Crawlers
DAAAMMMNNNN !!! Not only did you do an OUTSTANDING cover to the intro of one of my favorite 80s cartoon/toy line, as a one man band, no less. Then the guy that sang the original gives you top praise for your cover. WOW !!! How can you top that? EXCELLENT work !! May your future endeavors take you far in life.
I remember watching Mask with my little daughters back in the 80's and thinking how cool the intro sounded. Hearing this version of the show brought some great memories and so of course, I had to share the link with them. Great job!
This is just about the single most awesome thing I've ever had the joy of hearing. I'm serious. All the music around right now has nothing on the M.A.S.K. theme, and this faithful but modernised version is simply phenomenal. I'd buy this record. And I haven't bought a track in years. Staggeringly brilliant. Seriously talented guy. I'm in awe.
Can't help but get a little chocked up when those little nuggets of your childhood resurface. I watched the cartoon all the time and begged my parents to buy me the toys.
That was amazing. That sent me right back to my childhood during a time when cartoons had huge awesome vehicles with guns popping out everywhere and the music of Larry Leon in the background. It must be a huge honor that you were able to reach the artist just through this amazing cover of his work. THANK YOU!!
Just rediscovered this video. Can’t remember if I commented the last time, I watched it, so thought I’d leave one now. You absolutely nailed it, everything about this was awesome! Great work playing all the parts, nice solo too, really fitted perfectly. Overall it took me right back to my childhood!
This is awesome, you don’t no, how many Mask Theme Songs I went through on UA-cam, to try and find that synthesizer part in the very beginning. Most of them cut that out or it sounds very low-key and you can barely hear it. That Synthesizer in the beginning makes the whole song or is the least the icing on the cake, gives it that very 80s feel. But the rest of the song was great and spot on, made me feel like a kid again.
As a fellow musician and music producer for over 20 years.....Absolutely on point!!! I cannot believe my ears I am truly touched on how accurate your cover is....wow what a true LEGEND I've been speechless for days now....this and the "Pole position" Cover. like a few others mentioned your voice is incredible and you are multi talented and I thank you for doing this! Well done great job and keep doing them because I am now a true fan of your work! WOW!!
Awesome! I was into MASK for awhile and had a few of the toys. I liked the motorcycles, one turned into a helicopter, the other a little jet. I remember this song well, great job!
+Bad Arts Lab MASK is a great (for me EPIC) Cartoon. You managed it to make me goosebumps. Phantastic job! Those 20.000+ views are more than deserved. :-)
Hey u guys did you fantastic job, as a kid in Australia in the 80s/90s cartoon themes were just the best and you guys killed it, Funny how you picked my two favourite cartoons, mask and ulysees 31 haha, Keep up the good work and all the best.
Literally crying.DUDE! Awesome performance. The idea of recording this very strong theme is already a winner itself. Keep rockin. You're talented and better yet, you are very determined. Cheers from Brazil. ( really, tears are falling).
MEU DEUS, voltei a 35 anos atrás, minha infância foi linda com os melhores desenhos de todos os tempos, nunca mais farão desenhos com tanta qualidade e criativadade como os desenhos dos anos 80 e 90. MUITO OBRIGADO POR REPRODUZIR ESSA MARAVILHA DE ABERTURA, adorei...
I know I'm Starting to sound desperate/obsessed now, but dude, please, give us something. If I had a voice or anywhere near the talent you have I would do every single 80's cartoon intro that existed! Apart from Slash, you are my inspiration, my Friday, saturday night sing along however bad I am at it at. Please keep doing the work your doing, you are an insanely amazing singer/performer and wish I could be anything half as good as you.
As fast as this show came on the air it was gone & I was soo sad and angry. This was an epic cartoon & I wish they'd re-release the toys I would buy them all...
I've just found your video as I was searching for some old cartoon theme songs. You have rocked this mate. Well done. I'm sure many of us would love to see more from you. Awesome work mate.

and I wonder why we didnt hear more from Bad Arts Lab and Larry Leon.
yes, I still am too
same for me 😄
Thanks....now at 42, I feel like I am 8 years old....Thank you for this great cover...
Not to seem pedantic but mask started in 85 and lasted 2 seasons. So unless u watched in 89 ur maths are a bit wrong

Wow its already been 10 years ... Think about that for a awhile...😢
This guy was onto something surely. Brilliant cover and great voice.
To bad he didnt continue this journey.
If we ever get a Mask remake id say contact this guy for the intro song!🎉🎉
Who would pay for an album of killer 80’s Saturday morning action cartoon covers in 2020?
Hells yes
RIGHT HERE!
Someone, anyone needs to make this happen!
Didnt that happen in 1996? Even The Ramones played in it
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors !
That voice! Now at 45..80's is LIFE..thank you covering this.
The 80s were the last sane decade
Rocking through 2022.
Miss those 80's cartoon especially this one, it inspired and shaped us all.
Most of the '80s cartoons are on UA-cam and some is on Disney+ and can't forget about Tubi they all are on Amazon on DVD or blue ray.
Still listening 2020 🔥
80’s had the best kids cartoons (intro’s alone oscar worthy)
90’s had the best kids programs/series
As an 80’s kid we had the best of both worlds 😁
amen to that brother!
Not just the cartoons, With A-Team, Knight Rider and Airwolf live action tv was pretty damn good too.
@@24magiccarrot Streethawk has a darn good theme too.
Swat Katz from the 1990's has a good theme, Gargoyles was a 90's show too and though it ended poorly it started very strongly. The Disney cartoons used to have really good sing alone themes too like Duck Tales for example.
this song has lived in my heart for over 30 years
Can't deny though right now kids got the most options.
Watched the show,. Had the toys. The most 80s intro ever. Excellent session guys!!
So much 80's power in my face in such a short time was overkill. Pure bliss !
Really awesome! Great singer! :D
i don't know how long you've waiting for your 100th like, but today is the day my friend.

Of all the people with '80s cartoon theme covers on UA-cam, this guy did them best.
Hasbro needs to make either an updated cartoon or finally make a movie just to have THIS version as it's theme song. Solid. Awesome. Amazing.
@bj lazzara - M.A.S.K. was made by Kenner, not Hasbro.
Trakker would LOVE this!
After the first chorus I've pressed the "subscribe button" so fast. And the fact that Larry Leon gave you his blessing is the cherry on top the coolest cake ever.
I'm honestly in tears with a massive grin. Took me back to my Saturday mornings.
Now round it out with some Golden Crisps, Count Chockula, Suger Smacks, Fruit Loops, or any thing that was “part of this complete breakfast.” Now I’ll go play w my Creepy Crawlers
Anyone 40+ years here?
October 1979
I'm 60 years young

I just got this after 10 years 🤣 but... Love it 🤩, good memories good times, I used to have the Rhino and the 57'belair... Mi fave ever...
Brings back so many memories. I loved this show. It was a cross between GI-Joe and Transformers. Much simpler times for my 10-year-old self.
My childhood was FREAKIN AWESOME!!!
Happy tears thank u my all time favorite cartoon 🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🍿❤️💵Soo Happy
Almost 10 years from the original posting and still sounds amazing and makes me return to listen to your cover. Well done!

Finding this video made me very happy.... It's the greatest theme song ever made!!!

And 2021
Virus filtration on!
@@andreassylvan3478 yes 2021
Check out Silwerhawks intro and cover best shit ever.
And 2022
YES!!!!! I love it. Brought me right back to after school cartoons.
Best cartoon theme song cover ever bro!!!

This is so INSANELY BAD ASSED!!!! Positively the BEST COVER of one of the most AWESOME 80s TV themes EVER!!
Great!!! I remember this TV show.. and the toys... now im 37 years old!!! Greetings from Chile
That was amazing. That sent me right back to my childhood during a time when cartoons had huge awesome vehicles with guns popping out everywhere and the music of Larry Leon in the background. It must be a huge honor that you were able to reach the artist just through this amazing cover of his work. THANK YOU!!
10 years and I'm just now seeing this? awesome
Infinite thanks from Scotland 🏴 ✌️
WOW! This is awesome. I'd love to hear remakes of the background music of the show.
Wonderful cover, it goes to show just HOW good so many 80s themes were, they still sound as fresh and exciting today as they did 30 years ago :-)
Just rediscovered this video. Can’t remember if I commented the last time, I watched it, so thought I’d leave one now.
You absolutely nailed it, everything about this was awesome! Great work playing all the parts, nice solo too, really fitted perfectly. Overall it took me right back to my childhood!

One of the best openings of this kind. 45 now, working listening to my young days, reading your comments => magic
Still the best M.A.S.K. theme cover on UA-cam. I'd love to hear your take on some other classics like Wheeled Warriors, Silverhawks and Bravestarr.
+1 for Wheeled Warriors!
+1 for Jayce.
Yeah I love the wheeled warriors theme!!! And Silverhawks
There's some pretty cool Silverhawk covers on youtube, partly metal, partly real. But nothing beats this video
Let's not forget the Galaxy Rangers? No Guts No Glory... untouchable.
I've watched this video like a 100 times....such a good cover and brings back my childhood...thanks for the cover
Awesome cover version of a great 80's cartoon 👍
The nostalgia gods are pleased.
Awesome work bro. Your voice can wake up a f**king stadium!!! Yo world, WAKE UP RAW DIAMOND HERE!!!!
omg this is all one guy! what insane talent!
"Computer...Please select the agents most suitable for this mission"
Sweet cover! This theme was so "rock" when it hit, never forget it!
So love that song and yeah okay I’m a little old but at the end of the day that was my favourite TV show hand dude you’re an absolute bloody legend
It’s Saturday morning, I’m 11 years old sitting in my pj’s with a massive bowl of cereal…. What a nostalgia trip… 👍🏻👍🏻

Que recuerdos me trae esa canción cuando veía la serie de M.A.S.K. muy padre caricatura. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Best theme song ever. I'm late to the show on this comment.. but I appreciate you doing this.. amazing
Awesome! I was into MASK for awhile and had a few of the toys. I liked the motorcycles, one turned into a helicopter, the other a little jet. I remember this song well, great job!
In the show's promo logo with dark color mask for M.A.S.K. looks a bit like," Night Thrasher" of the New Warriors from Marvel Comics,ha?.
this song is one billion times better than the cartoon it was attached to. this is a great cover/arrangement. thank you!
It existed to sell toys, but the toys were awesome.
Same person who's singing and playing the instruments. Wow! The best!!! 👍
this is awesome, I love this song, and the show itself was a classic cartoon, so many memories
It's nearly 2025 and this is still the sickest video on the net. ❤️🔥
Thank you for doing this. MASK doesn’t get the credit it deserves.
I am miserable and the world around me is falling apart but THIS is everything I need right now.
fantastic, supercover . Awesome voice
SICK!!!! I get so hyped up on your rendition. I listen to this while power lifting. YOU WROCK!!!!
Beautiful cover, makes me very nostalgic
MASTERPIECE !!!!!!!!!!! Good job !!!!!!!☺☺☺☺ Hell yeah !!!!! Brings me back to childhood !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
20 000 views!!! Thanx to all of you! 8P

The instrument playing is great , but I did not expect to hear a perfect voice match on that singing!
2021 ending soon and still the best M.A.S.K. theme cover on UA-cam.

The nostalgia rush and goosebumps i get from 1 song...wow wow wow, high praise
Next song request please: Defenders of the Earth.
After all these years, this is still the best MASK theme cover! Absolutelly stunning work, well done!
Wow that was seriously impressive!!! Only gutted it took me so long to discover it 🎸🎹
I keep coming back watching this video every now and then, so cool 😎

I’m an 80s kid that lived for MASK. This was everything I needed to hear. Oh my god yes Perfect!
My childhood memories of this show has flooded back to me. ^_^
Awesome.
Feel sorry for kids now.
Every cartoon back then had an awesome theme tune it seemed.
They really put a show on for us.
90% of the memorable 80s cartoon themes were created by Shuki Levy, he's incredible
@@FureyinHD wow, didn't know that
Found your cover by mere chance and you absolutely BLEW my mind with it! This is absolutely AMAZING.
Same... this is fucking beautiful!
one of the best shuki levy covers
