“Does the Welsh fireman cartoon really need a guitar solo?” “I believe it does, yes.”

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.

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

this has absolutely no right to slap this hard.

Genuinely one of the greatest songs ever written

this is objectively the best television theme song ever produced

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!

this theme really brings out the 80s feel

if you didn't grow up with this version you missed out also this was the first video i watch in 2024

So nostalgic it gives me shivers XD

The whole guitar solo from 1:26 to 1:42 is actually legendary! It's so good!

Me: yo, pass the aux cord Friend: you better not play trash Me:

I grew up watching tapes of this when I was younger back in 2010, and it's the best fireman sam in my opinion

Fireman Sam Rating 1987 Perfect! 2003 Noice! 2008 WTF??? 2017 AAAAAAH MY EYES!!!!

WE MAKIN' OUT OF PONTYPANDY WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kids shows in the 80's had the best themes ever composed

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

I'm Welsh & I loved this when I was younger

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!

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

This genuinely sounds like something you’d hear, or at least be able to recreate, on a Nintendo 64.

An underrated nostalgic late 80s classic

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.

One of the best kid's theme songs ever written.

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.

this slaps so hard wtf

Excellent, forgot how good this is.

This really works well. The extra lyrics rock and this sounds way better than the newer version we have now.

When I was a toddler, I actually phoned the fire brigade and asked for Fireman Sam. XD.

This is the first time I'm hearing this extended version of the song and I think it's better than the original length

So glad I grew up to this version of Fireman Sam

Back when shows weren't reboots ❤❤

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

This is brilliant I’ve had this song in my head all day

My happy childhood memories 🥰

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.

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.

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 !

18 people had their houses burned down by one of Norman Price's pranks

This song goes so hard fucking hell

🎵 He’s always on the scene! Fireman Sam! 🎵

Weird how chill this low tempo version is

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!

Hearing this song makes me feel like I'm 5 years old again.

This theme really is such a banger! Truly the 80's gave us some of the greatest show themes ever.

I love this with all my heart :)

Definitely one of the best kids show theme songs of all time.

The fact that "cool and calm" and "fire alarm" are in this song is scary because they are in the 2002 revamp lyrics.

I wish this was still the theme song!

never grew up with this show but can i say that this theme is straight fire!?

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.

I love the original classic fireman Sam series from 1987 to 1994

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.

Everytime I hear everybody wants to rule the world it makes me think of fireman Sam...

I love that slap guitar in this. Sounds a lot like Sponge

I remember firemen sam and again it brings back memories and I could watch this for hours on end

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

This is just a hunch, but something tells me Sam is the hero next door

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! And his engine's bright and clean For 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 For Fireman Sam Cos he's gonna save the day For 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 never tires He always sees it through And it's true Hey!

0:16 This Fireman Sam The Original Series Theme Song Is So Funky. I've Loved Disco Dancing Fever. Thanks Mate. X

This really was the true fireman Sam not the cgi nowadays with all the character changes and everything that doesn’t make sense.

I love this theme and era the most.

Fireman Sam should be something to be remember during the time of this theme song.

this theme is a straight banger!

Always mishearing “Engines bright and clean” as “Engines bright green”, yet HourofPoop replaced it with “Engine is John Cleese”

I remember watching this on Jim Jam back in 2013.

I can imagine Elvis doing the guitar solo.

I like this music.

1:09. Sam is the hero next door! He always saves the day from the past, present, and future!

I remember Singing the theme songs When I was 4

Sam is the hero next door counter: 1: 0:41 2: 1:09 3: 1:52 4: 2:32 5: 2:44 6: 2:57 7: 3:09

This is so nostalgic and classic!

another kids show that was ruined by CGI

unironically good holy fuck

I Used To Watch Original Fireman Sam On DVD In My Childhood

Nostalgia and memories are killing me...

The classic perfect 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.

My childhood in a nutshell me and my mum used to watch this all the time as a kid

Love the guitar solo in this wee tune.

I watched this on Jim jam before. Along with thomas and friends and postman pat. Always premiered with seasons 1-4

I still remember that one episode where he helped one woman get out of an elevator

There is no reason for the theme song to a kids show to go this hard 🔥🔥

My ratings for Fireman Sam Series 1-4: classic Series 5: very good Series 6-9: terrible Series 10-: how dare you

Yes yes my favorite shows I love fireman sam🚒

I love this new theme I love the interments and the people signing

I’m a firefighter in east London at Bethnal Green tower hamlets I listen to this on the way to work on the bus

This is my Jam man!

I love the 80’s rock pop into that song. I love the original Fireman Sam more so than the CGI one.

This theme kinda made me cry 😢

They still use a fax machine to this day

This is synth pop for kids. You can tell it’s the 80’s.

The 2008 reboot isn't that bad... at least, compared to 2017. Then again, I grew up with the reboot

Fireman Sam Was Still on Qubo!

The old shows are the best like Thomas and friends,fireman Sam and bob the builder and they are still running am so happy

Season 1-4: Love youuu Season 5: Kinda love you. Season 6-8: Hate you. Season 9-onward: Wow, shut the heck up.

I remember a cat was stuck in a tree and i remember saying we gotta call fireman sam. Not jokeing
