For those of us who were small children that were mystified by Jayce and his team's anthem here, we will always be the Children of the 80's no matter how old we are today.
There's a power that comes from deep inside of you, 'Cause every day you're reaching toward the light, And you know there's a long long way ahead of you, But when your wheels get you there, things will turn out right! Just keep 'em turning, don't stop 'em rolling, The fire is on, (Wheeled Warriors!) Battle drums burning, wheels moving, Wheeled Warriors! (Wheeled Warriors!) Come take a chance, keep 'em turning, don't stop 'em rolling, The fire is on, (Wheeled Warriors!) Battle drums burning, wheels moving! Wheeled Warriors! (Wheeled Warriors!)
Very inspiring words, when you heard these songs - you fealt like the artists were talking to you and you're Jayce yourself - fighting against all the problems in life and destroying them 💪
My all time favorite. I wish today's shows had something as cool and rockin' as this. There were so many cool theme songs back then. Wheeled Warriors, M.A.S.K., Galaxy Rangers, Ninja Turtles, Dinosaucers, Jem, and many more.
kasterborous I disagree about 80s music being awful. Between the rise of hard rock, metal and synthwave the 80s were as influential as the 60s with pop (particularly britpop) and rock, and the 70s with progressive rock and disco. The 90s had grunge and, to some extent, techno. I still have to see what the 2000s and 2010s have brought to music. Boy/girl bands? EDM? The only real 'advancement' has been the rise of people that can't sing for shit, but since they are good looking they use pitch correction and they have success. Let that sink in.
absolutely incredible song overall, but especially that first singer. holy shit. the way he nailed the high notes every time he sang "WHEELED WARRIORS" was utterly exquisite!
There were many great (rock and slower) cartoon openings that take that place imho. Raccoon Intro, Dream Stone Outro (respectably in their long versions).
I so wish people could listen to the french version. The lyrics are not even from the same world. Here it is all about wheels turning and battle drums... where infrench, it is a very cheerful and nice heartwarming song for kids. let me give it a try for the one or two who care :) Jayce, conqueror of the faraway Go search for your father Enlight the obscure paths of the universe Jayce, conqueror of tomorrows The root you carry in your heart Must unite with your father's Jayce, conqueror of Happyness Come free the world from the master minds's terror A force is burning deep inside of you As the hope that one day you'll bring us joy back. Your paths are of fire as the Monster minds are strikening But if you don't loose faith You'll find the Way Jayce, light warrior You must conquer And the victory will come re-fleurish all No, don't give up Don't let your faith die Because one day you'll win The freedom to live. Wanted to share, cheers ;)
Nuillistar chouuks It's not about what one's prefer or not. I was underlining the difference between the two versions... and the fact that, as very often, american versions of anything are just dumbed down versions...
drpoppabong If I'm indeed a twat, which I never denied, then, no one would care about me... if no one would care about me, then your comment has potentially absolutely no or very very few viewers. Therefore, you write and express yourself in the void, for nobody... as the person empty of any interests you are do so well. Thanks for being useless, there can only be a shadow, if light is casted in a first place... people like you are the shadow of stupidity that helps drawing the line in order to see people who actually have something to say or simply have a brain.
+Jay T Okay. Jay T, I read your post and it got me kind of curious. What was this wonderful French version that you speak so warmly about, so I just had to experience this, according to you, far superior version. So I did. I listened to it, with subtitles since I don't understand French. But I do understand quality. And Jay T, I have to say, the French version is worse in every possible way. I am sorry, it might be something you enjoy more because of sentimental reasons. Which is fine! You are entitled to re-live your childhood how-ever you please. But Jay T, the French version is weak, the music is layered differently, there's no emotional investment in the narrator's voice, the French singer isn't even in the same league as the English counterpart. Thank you for sharing your opinion however. Freedom of speech is a gift.
+Hypersonic Chainsaw You didn't have to go far, I did translate it the best I could in my OP ... If you think that a tune about the beatings of the drums is better than a tune which talks about how faith and light could bring freedom to the world... well good for you.
And also No Guts No Glory song from Galaxy Rangers! You Got A Touch by Stan Bush (Transformers cartoon soundtrack!) is also epic! Also Prince Valiant theme! And offcourse we just can't forget an iconic ghostbusters song!
por eso amo los 80's!!!! soy modelo 89, pero antes hacian las caricaturas y las series con amor y con muchas ganas no habia serie animada o serie de television que no tuviera una mala cancion en los 80's
I was born in 1990. I've never seen this show, or heard of it before it showed up while I was looking for Skeletor videos, and I don't know if I'll ever watch it. But this song reminds me how much I love the 80s, even though I was never in 'em. So many industries were just getting started - especially modern TV and video games - so few to no big corrupt corporations were interested, and the only people risking their fortunes were truly passionate and sincere. The music in particular was so full of power and inspiration and love. Even this silly, goofy, random show for children stopped and took the time to tell them they were amazing and could do whatever they wanted. Maybe it would take forever, and be incredibly difficult or painful, but you can do it because you kick ass. ... but it never said you had to kick anybody's ass in particular. Nowadays, so much media is based on only putting one's self up in the same breath as putting someone else down. Enough of it that nobody can tell which is doing it and which isn't. I'm sure some people are desperately trying to bring back this ancient spirit, the idea of someone whose only loyalty is to humanity, but everyone is so used to hatred that even their work looks like pandering or vanity or some lowkey snubbing. Because today, we've been taught that someone has to be cut down for someone else to rise, and that someone else doing well is somehow bad for us. I wonder how many other people have a nostalgia for things from before they were born. In the 80s, nobody else needed to be wrong for you to be right. In the 80s, you didn't need an enemy to be a hero.
It kills me that kids these days miss out on epic theme songs that really made us look forward to something special on Saturday mornings, back in the '80s.
Right, kids who have been born into a world with any information at their fingertips are missing out on bad synth music and old tropes. No. Keep this shit dead.
Every morning as a kid running downstairs bowl of cereal in hand watching this before school and remember the theme song amping me up for the day ahead now at 36 soon to be 37 I still love this theme children’s tv back in the 80’s and 90’s was amazing
The spirit of the 80's is strong with this one... Sadly I never saw this as a kid for some reason, but this is an epic song, wow! definitely one of the best cartoon intro themes I've ever heard. Sounds like a coked out 80's dance party song, and I mean that in the best possible way.
This is the 1st time I’ve ever heard this extended version and I’m loving it. I would have been so thankful if I got the soundtrack when I was a chilled.
Accidentally found this video with the audiotrack I mixed for myself back in 2010. I uploaded it to some social services then. Never thought I'd found it on RU-vid with a million views twelve years later. I'm so glad it could bring so much joy and nostalgia for so many people! The audio in this video sounds a bit cleaner tho. But it's definitely my mix, I recognized it by the exact silence at the end.
Golden age in many ways - action/Sci fi movies - tv shows - music, music videos - cartoons - toys - practical movie effects, anamatronics - First CGI - First portable music players - Walkman, cd players - First home pcs - First gaming consoles - arcades - First gym culture, bodybuilding craze I wish I could go back.....
OMG. Greetings from Germany. This Show never came with german language, but i watched it 25 years ago in english. Never understand 1 word but i loved it anyway :D great memories. Ohhh....tears in my eyes :(
@@trydowave No, not in Germany. In the 80s u could watch Sky Channel and Super Channel(?) in Germany. It was so great, Saturday mornings. There was another Cartoon never came to germany. With some planes, that fly into a big Robot, who fights every episode against another big robot :D Could it be Vortex? i dont know anymore.
A mis casi 40;años no puedo evitar ese nido en la garganta. En los 80's han quedado los mejores años de mi vida endulzados por estás grandes caricaturas y sus grandes temas.
So much nostalgia and I'm 20. I always loved how this song made you sense a bit of a sad or serious suspense while having an energetic adventure vibe to it. Gotta love the 80s.
Was doing my workout and was 35 minutes in and fatigued during my pushup sets. Then this song kicked on, and there was indeed a power deep inside me that came out in the form of a roar as I finished my set and collapsed.
Best version out there! Aside: why there's no complilation album of Shuki Levy's original arrangement works? Ulysses 31, He-Man, Gadget, MASK and so on… This guy deserves some proper HQ album release!
Ulysses 31 has an album that collects the entire soundtrack of the show in high quality, including three versions of the theme (original French lyrics, English lyrics, and instrumental). It’s available on Apple Music. Sadly, I’m not sure if any other soundtracks were lucky enough.
Shuki and Hiam (Saban) were incredible music composers and theme song writers. They also gave us the Heathcliff (and the Calico Cats) theme song and would go on to form Saban to give us the incredible Power Rangers theme.
I'm 39 years old and my woman (37) brought me here. I used to watch this and it was her favorite cartoon when she was a kid. Nice memories of one of the best 80's cartoons, which includes my personal favorites like Ulysses 31, Transformers (the very beginning), Silver Hawks, Voltron, The Mysterious Cities Of Gold, Thundercats, Bionic Six, Bravestarr, Galaxy Rangers, GI Joe and MASK.
haha well its part of the marketingtrick, but no. Some of these studios are still active nowadays that drew these anime. 1 of them is currently involved with Valvrave which is a big hit in Japan.
Well it didn't go on any of the fucking toys, They never released any figures of Jayce and co... Only the vehicles, and random men in orange jumpsuits who never appear in the show to sit in them.
Theme songs like this back in the day could easily have been in the charts, not like most of the rubbish they have now days, I can’t think of one memorable theme song in the last 10 years or so
good old times !! Lyrics !: There’s a power that comes from deep inside of you ‘Cause every day you’re reaching toward the light And you know there’s a long long way ahead of you But when your wheels get you there, Things will turn out right! Just keep ‘em turning, don’t stop ‘em rolling The fire is on-Wheeled Warriors! Battle drums burning, wheels moving-Wheeled Warriors Wheeled Warriors! Cause we can just keep ‘em turning, don’t stop ‘em rolling The fire is on-Wheeled Warriors! Battle drums burning, wheels moving-Wheeled Warriors Wheeled Warriors!
Never watched this show but I remember one of the N Circle Mario DVDs had a a lot of DiC openings in the special features and this was one of them and I loved it!
I want the 80’s back. Things were so much better. I’ll go back to being a kind with no problem. I’ll give up the internet smart Phones and all. I use to love waking up on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons while I eat my cereal. Great times
The singer is not Noam Kaniel, however he often does the choirs in Saban & Levy productions. The singer is Nick Carr, who has the particularity to be both French (by his mother) and American (by his father). He worked With Levy & Saban as a drummer and post-production engineer specialized in sound effects. He's also got a good voice : that's they discovered when they needed an english singer for the US market ! He started in the choirs for the first try, but he revealed his hidden talent as the lead voice. So they produced with him MASK, Jayce, COPS and Pole Position. In France, that song reached up to the 1st place of the Top 50 (french billboard) for a few days in 1985 !
What the hell happened to modern cartoons? No catchy tunes, no panache, no style and no staying power. 80's cartoons would blow everything away these days, I feel sorry for modern kids.
That's why I remain forever stuck in the explosive realm of 80's Cartoons. Don't need anything else, really...there's loads of it there to still enjoy.
Well, first there was the Children's Television Act of 1990 where children's programming got regulated to death (you have a bunch of overly sensitive jackasses who let tv babysit their kids over the years instead of actually parenting and teaching their kids wrong from right and all that shit) and now we can't have nice things anymore as a result, then there was Nickelodeon revamping their network and really catching on, the invention of Cartoon Network, just to name many other reason shows like this don't exist anymore
There's a power that comes from deep inside of you, 'Cause every day you're reaching for the light, And you know there's a long long way ahead of you, But when your wheels get you there, Things will turn out rii-iight! Just keep 'em turning, don't stop 'em rolling, the fire is on! (Wheeled Warriors!) B-B-B-Battle drums burning, a-wheels moving, Wheeled Warriors! (Wheeled Warriors!) Come take a chance, keep 'em turning, don't stop 'em rolling, the fire is on! (Wheeled Warriors!) B-B-B-Battle drums burning, a-wheels moving, Wheeled Warriors! Wheeled Warriors!
Thanks, that really clears things up. - Just one thing though. On the start of the second chorus it's actually "Come take a chance, keep 'em turning" and not "Just keep 'em turning". If you listen closely you'll notice that is the correct line both times the second chorus begins.
Agree here completely! And i heard many many epic intro song from that period piece! I also like Mask, Pole Position, Dinosaucers, Ghostbusters (dah, off course!), Transformers (You Got A Touch), Prince Valiant and some others i probably forgot to mention!
Saw this in french & bought the box around 2008 or so... Still gives me goosebumps, Just like Ulysses 31, Thundercats & Ghostbusters (both the original franchise as the other one)... We really had some great kid shows in the´70-80ies ;)
This is a classic brings back good memories good ol weekday afternoons wish you could have them back again along with Saturday mornings keep on burning Wheel Warriors
For the people wondering about the the Vocals, its Noam Kaniel, he worked close with Shuki Levy for a while, he also sung the mysterious cities of gold theme, power rangers and Heath cliff, M.A.S.K. Just google Noam Kaniel and you should find all you need

I remember seeing this show everyday after lunch on the tv, I really loved it and the intro theme was unique. Not to talk about the designs of the bad guys and the vehicles
Ahh a show that I remember so fondly and makes me remember how GOOD the 80's and some of the 90's cartoon intros were. It seemed like for alot of these intros the singers got really into what they were singing..not like the stuff today only a few get that good of a treatment.
Takes me back watching this on saturday afternoons on those old crt tvs with knobs on them. Then its followed by MASK, Centurions, Sky Commanders, etc.
