The second version is the best, when the grill of the Rolls Royce appears it still gives me goosebumps even after 50 years!!!! . And it says help is on the way regardless of the cost.
The Rolls Royce grill, Yes absolutely loved the picture in the end credits. So proud of Rolls Royce, so patriotic, made me feel great to be English. ......... . Good old Days ❤🇬🇧👍.
Same! :)
@paulpalmtree9295 Back in the days when the future looked promising.
@@zacmumblethunder7466Yes absolutely, the future, or looking forward to the future, made me feel exited.......Didn’t work out that way sadly though. 64 years old now, Wow time has passed so so quickly. Still proud to be English, that will never fade-away. 🏴👍🇬🇧.
Yes.
The second version will always be the iconic one, it's simply the best by the same distance as between Thunderbirds 5 and 4! (When 4's in action).
Agreed second one is best especially when the Rolls Royce appears just something uplifting about that section.
@@lennyrussell8954 The sudden sassy turn in the music when the Rolls Royce radiator appears is genius.
Spot On 👌
The 2nd version will always be the best, especially the end bit with Fab1.
2:23 oh yes 👍
Spot On Guys 👌
@@Endeva09 That’s the bit, it’s genius,
Thunderbirds is my favourite Gerry Anderson show. It is one childhood show you cannot possibly ever grow out of. Even as an adult you still find it epic and enjoyable.
I'm going to send a letter to the Lego company in an attempt to have models of the Thunderbirds made. I think Thunderbirds deserves to have Lego models.
I don't know. I've seen fan made Lego Thunderbirds and maybe I'm being overly critical, but the sleek designs of these (truly) iconic craft do not translate well.
@zacmumblethunder7466 It is a big ask I know.
People have been trying on Lego Ideas for years with no success. 🙁
Thunderbirds is literally my early childhood
Mine too even though I was born in 1988, 23 years after Thunderbirds first aired.
HERE ARE ALL THE TIME STAMPS! (Your welcome ❤️)
1:17 normal version
2:41 flying high (alien version)
4:00 flying high (thunderbirds)
5:24 flying high (romantic)
1:16: the Regular TV Theme. The best. And I know everyone on the comments will agree, it's the rousing finale when the Rolls Royce grill comes into view. Goosebumps. I used to watch this show in the mid 70s when I was between ⁵-7 years on Sunday afternoon. Fantastic stuff.
We're safe.
Its a miracle.
They've got us out of the pit in the ground.
The 2nd version was the best. Love how they round the tune off at the end when the images of the Rolls and then the earth pop up.
A difference that I've noticed between the 'Trapped In The Sky' and 'Regular' end titles is the addition of the views of the Mole to the 'Regular' titles, to allow for the extended length of the Thunderbirds march. It's amazing that Barry Gray was allowed the extra space to demonstrate his talent - and justifiably so!
I have a suspicion that he wanted the march all along and that's why "Flying High" is probably his least accomplished tune. Even three versions and two sets of lyrics can't redeem it. Mr Gray knew full well that the show didn't need a closing pop song.
I'm 25 yo but I'm proud to have known and watched them ❤
I was born in 1999 and literally EVERYONE in my class at school watched it at some point. I know every episode inside out.
Sends shivers down my spine - especially the crescendo at the end =^)
Thank goodness 'Flying High' remained unused.
Literally thank god
Its cancer to my ears
Gerry Anderson itself says it sucks! So thanks to him we have legendary Thunderbirds ending!
@@henristorbacka6639 It would have dated it badly and then it there wouldn’t have been a huge revival in the 90s and 2000s.
Actually, Version 3 was used at the end of the episode "Ricochet."
mr gray was a genius great shows but the music put them into another level learned to play keyboards as i just wanted to make tunes like this , now i do :)
2:03 when arrives the tuba and trumpet music sheet and the Fireflash appears 😍😍🥺❤
The second version is simply brilliant 😊
It must have been good for them to get Rolls-Royce permission to use their grille.
1980年代初頭の日本での再放送では、ここで紹介されているものとは違うバージョンが流れていましたね
テーマ曲をアレンジしたものではありましたが
'Flying high' is an ear-worn that creeps in your brain! But I could not picture it as part of the Thunderbirds soundtrack.
Just like with this video, imagine you end the episode with the dignified Barry Gray track, then wamming into Flying high!
Fireball XL5 and Stingray had these sort of songs, but I have the feeling the songs match better with their respective programs, or Thunderbirds and it's soundtrack just feels too sophisticated for this sort of song.
Spot on! I was trying to put into words why the song wouldn't have worked, you said it perfectly. Thunderbirds was the classiest of the Supermarionations.
I could see it being randomly used in the background of an episide, playing on someone's radio for instance.
2:23 When Lady P’s pink Rolla pops up and the music starts swinging sassy. That a little bit special that is ❤ 🇬🇧
HOLY SHIT THERE'S A FULL VERSION OF THE "FLYING HIGH" USED IN THE RICOCHET EPISODE?!?!?!? How on earth did you find that! I thought the only version in full was the slower tempo one?
If they'd used Flying High then I can't see that they'd have retained the sequential format that we all love so much.
Wait, that third version of Flying High, is that the same version that's heard at the end of "Ricochet"?
Indeed it is.
@@DanTheMan2150AD lol.. now I know where Flying high comes from... lol a cover version of an unused end credits theme 😁😁 I’ve heard that first vocal version before but never put the two together until now... 😂😂
Rick (ricochet sound) O'Shea!
@Watcher3223 Half a century on and my brain still puts the "pew pew" in between the first two syllables whenever I hear the word ricochet.
this was escape from reality in the 60s
90s and 00s too. I knew every episode inside out as a boy.
I think it _was_ my reality!
My rating for the endings
First ending(pilot episode)
Good ending!
2nd ending(2nd episode onwards)
Better but not my favorite
3rd ending(unused 1st version)
Good but no
4th ending (unused 2nd version)
What?!
5th ending (unused 3rd version)
.....
Explanation:
First ending is my favourite simply because of the start the bongo is just *chef kiss*
The Second ending is the regular one and i find it better than the first but the way the song started is meh
The Third ending is good but not amazing because the lyrics are weird and i am glad Gary didn't use it
The Fourth ending is just a copy of the first and with a different insumental and a much slower phase
The fifth ending is just straight up garbage the lyrics don't suit the theme and the feel of thunderbirds and i understand that this was used in a different show but please keep it there
Pit of Peril.
Wow, the lyrics in the third version of flying high are so weird and… bad.
That is the problem with the 3rd version the lyrics don't make sense
Wasn't that used in Ricochet during the end scene as Tin Tin's request?
Yes
The first lyrics aren't exactly Cole Porter either.
Blimey, that must age me.
Omg thankyou so much for this video, I know it’s gonna get taken down soon but I was glad to witness it while it was here
Why is it going to get taken down soon?
@@DanTheMan2150AD hi Dan, search for “thunderbirds outro” and you will get still photos with the music over, or sped up versions, or versions with the wrong music. I assume it’s some copyright claim business going on but can’t be sure. I would hazard a guess because of the way you have edited these together this video has slipped through the net.
Don’t get me wrong I really really don’t want this to get taken down but unfortunately I think it’s only a matter of time. Once again thankyou for uploading, second version is the best!
@@Endeva09 I’ve already sorted the copyright issue with ITV out. It’s not getting taken down.
@@DanTheMan2150AD amazing 🤩 thanks mate your doing all fans a favour 👍👍👍
The first end theme was used only once - during the pilot. The regular version was obviously the best. I’m so happy the first two “Flying High” versions were never used. The third version is just about palatable.
The explosions in flying high 1 & 2 are so cringeworthy
My god, I'd looked for the full version of that third version of Flying High for years, where and how on earth did you manage to get it in its entirety?
It was on the dubbing track for Ricochet
You and I both mate the last version of flying high at the end just hits differently
Wow! This sounds so good,Fab!
Version 3 of "Flying High" actually was used at the end of the episode, "Ricochet."
Thunderbirds (1965-1966)
I've always wondered why it says "An ITC Worldwide Distribution" instead of "An ITC Worldwide Distribution Presentation"?
Plugg Shutt credited as Ernest Shutt.
Nicknames were rarely used in credits in those days.
2:22: Superb.👍👍👍👍👍
0:18 No Pitch 1965-1975-1985-1995-2005-2015
2:23.
Need I say more?
I love the first one
''whos that pokemon''
Got all versions of the thunderbirds themes on mp3.
Just wondering, what's the Thunderbirds credit font you used for the captions called?
Grotesque no. 9
@@DanTheMan2150AD Thank you :)
@DanTheMan2150AD "Grotesque no 9"? No, we must rause a petition to have it renamed "Thunderbirds nos 1 to 5"
Love the first version better. Never heard this on Don't like it.
Batman : The Warhawk.
Second version, all the way! 🫡
(P.s. I'm a Cpt Scarlet fan 🤭😉)
Flying High Version 1 and 2 are bloody awful. It would have dated Thundetbirds to the 1960s forever. The Fireflash and Regular version give the show unforgettable iconic status.
Groovy Baby YEAH!😊
Superb
Avengers copied it
The Avengers theme existed as a piece of music called "The Shake" which the composer, Laurie Johnson adapted to to make into the Avengers theme in 1965, the same year that Thunderbirds was made. Big percussion led themes were very popular at that time.
Not being a Thunderbirds fan (the episodes are just too long to engage me), I'm wasn't familiar with most of these - the song was a complete unknown. I think I like the first "Trapped in the sky" one best.
I see.
