US National Anthem - Air Force / TV Sign off 

Plenty of people used to do things other than get fat and watch tv. You could read, draw, write music, etc. I wish TV and computers never existed. There would be no texting and driving, and so many things would get accomplished. You know why so much shit used to get invented in the late 19th century and early 20th century? People weren't content with sitting on their ass, getting fat and wasting away. They were so bored they though of all kinds of cool stuff. There could be another Einstein in our society these days and we would never know it becuase they would be watching playing xbox or watching tv. Complacency with doing nothing will be the downfall of our society.

***** Certainly that is a big factor. I'd probably have written at least a few books now if it wasn't for all the TV/internet distractions. In addition there's the general dumbing down of the education system. There has probably been a lot of people with potential that was never realized due to the inadequacies of education in this country. We have also gained a lot of taxes, regulations, and insane red tape that stand in the way of an individual creating new innovations, or starting a business. A free well educated populace creates a successful nation. It's no coincidence that the United States grew into the most powerful nation on the face of the Earth. Imagine where humanity would be now if we hadn't been held back by all the tyrannical regimes that dominated our history from the beginning of civilization.

MysticInvestigations Exactly. I work on computers for a living, and what people don't realize is that everything has an equal balance; on/off, ying/yang, black/white, etc. All of the good things that computers do come with an equal amount of bad. People just don't realize that because guys like me are keeping it all running smoothly behind the scenes. Computers made buying things online easy, but also exponentially increased credit card fraud and identity theft. You can meet people online, but now people get killed because they meet strangers and have no idea who they're dealing with. Hacking wouldn't be an issue. Those are just a few examples, but I honestly believe that society would have been much better off with computers never existing. The bad isn't worth the good. It's made our society completely dependent on technology. People seem to be getting more fat and more stupid by the day. One of these days I might just get rid of my computer and stop using them.

***** I agree with you wholeheartedly, computers have ruined people's lives. However, I blame cable television for the start of the decline. People started getting more channels, which lead people to be focused more in the house than outside. Cable television also started the whole home shopping frenzy too, which made people more lazy. Then of course, the cell phones started rearing their ugly head, which lead to computers and the internet. Personally, I would love to see all these things disappear, so here is hoping for a nice future EMP event! Speaking of people or rather kids these days, they are addicted to video games and computers in a sick way. I remember last year my 11 year old nephew going without computers and video games for a week, he started having a nervous breakdown, he was crying and experiencing body twitches. It was a sad thing to see. I told him that when I was a kid, you spent your days outside playing, riding your bicycle and if you wanted to see one of your friends you would walk over to their house and knock on the door. I told him that I played all day long, maybe coming home at noon to get something quick to eat and drink only to head back out the door until dark. Once home and inside, you would eat dinner, take a bath and still have some time to listen to the radio or watch a television show (one show) by then, you were completely tired and ready to pass out. If you were lucky to have enough energy to stay up, it was probably midnight. Rarely did people stay up until 2-3 in the morning, unlike the kids today who are up all night long because they are wired on mountain dew and get no exercise to tire their bodies.

J.R.M. 6228 You described my childhood as well. A lot of time riding my bike in the woods. There were a handful of TV shows I watched regularly but most of the time I was outside. Even in the winter I'd stay outside until I was soaked, numb, and freezing. I remember one time I fell in a ditch of ice water, and still stayed outside for another hour. My fear was my father saying I couldn't go back outside again because he had issue with people going in, and out too much.

hope you had good luck within your journey US solider

No matter how tired I always watched it too.

Thank you for your service.

Same here. I was a four star general and admiral at the same time.

@@logan7156airman*

Is that from EAS Rising Heat, Black hole or some other video?

An abundance of cutie marks part 2

Almost every scenario

yo ur freaking me out lmao😂

Izzy many of those have that at the end the Black hole the Sub Zero and the Rizing Heat thats all i know of

I’m bout to use this for my videos now

That was my favorite part as a kid, and it still is now!!! I stayed up late just to hear this!!!

Especially when the view of the F-16 transitions to the flag

I love it as well.

@@normanwaterman9877 As a tip of a spear. Edge of the knife.

Me too!

Good Night & God Bless. ☢️

It’s to comfort the dying, much like how the band on the titanic played one last time instead of getting to a boat for the same reason

LMAO ITS ALWAYS THIS VERSION TOO

@@TimelordR This land is my home, your home and all our homes

Please do not go to the national anthem at absolute zero, it's terrifying

@@Dylan-Frost Definitely sounds like America when the radio is still playing the national anthem, despite being frozen solid. Starts out as some sick vaporwave, but turns into a very chilling bellow of the end.

@Katelyn _Playz I think that's more like UK not US.

Fall of America

Same

I use to get sad, because that would mean TV was going off... Lol

When I was a kid, I would wake up to this in the middle of the night, and go back to sleep happily. This is the most powerful rendition I've heard thus far.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_Zr11L4nNA0.html I think this one is the best. But I also love this current. Fly High America!

+Frank Eastman Thank you for sharing. The versions done the VM are fantastic. It is my hope that the master tapes are still around somewhere and can be re-mastered for a commercial release from Vocal Majority, or those versions can be re-recorded some day. The Air Force Hymn is just wonderful.

+FiveCentsPlease The songs were recorded on reel-to-reel tape, the best available medium back in those days. I am retired from the Vocal Majority after 27 years with them, so I'm not in the know about any plans to release or re-record these songs. It's a shame that the VCR recordings are in such poor shape.

God bless you good sir, for posting this info. I have loved this version of this TV signoff for the better part of 30 years, and have searched many times to find out who it was, simply to give credit where credit is due. I would give anything to have been in the room when this was recorded, just to hear it live, as even this lo-fi recording brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. It is a little slice of of pure beauty. Thank you!

+andybaldman Unfortunately according to the comments from The Vocal Majority it was a contract recording for the US Air Force so this version might not have been recorded for record sales. If the master tapes could be found, then it could be remastered for a CD release. Like mentioned above, it was recorded on reel-to-reel tapes. It is a wonderful arrangement.

Where are there you getting comments from them? (Not disagreeing with you, just interested to know.) Is there a forum or message board where they discuss things like this? Or did you contact them directly?

Another EAS scenario fan 👍

ah, another eas fan i see

ZiplineShazam are you not as patriotic anymore? Why would that go away

@@ryanbrink2755 I wish I could be patriotic, but ever since my grandfather's land was destroyed by corporate greed. . .no thanks.

ZiplineShazam Arizona? The state what made all cattle ranchers leave in the past 10 years?

@@ZiplineShazam its still the best example on earth how to do things, we arent perfect but if a piece of land keeps you from loving this country then you can fuck all the way off to china

@@vanessarosas6485 I hear you. However, I think you may have missed my point The piece of land of which you mentioned was Pure American Soil. That land was land that I once considered to be sacred. That Once Pure American Soil is now covered by a corporate owned strip mall that sells nothing but products MADE IN CHINA. So as you can see, I don't have to "f*** all the way off to China". . .China is already here.. . .and that's the real issue. Corporate Greed destroying what was once Truly American.

Thank you. On behalf of the USA. :)

Yup

I'm 😢 😭 😢 😭 😢 😭 😢 😭 😢 😭 😢 😭 😢 😭 😢 😭 😢 😭 😢 😭 😢

This way better than all the other ones out there

They still say that at my local tv station

I'm watching this at 10 PM. This literally randomly popped in my recommendations lol

yeah you'll get cancelled for being abusive and interfering with your children's sexual liberation if you call them home at 10 now

Rising Heat? EAS?

it was just rising heat but then it's almost EVERY END OF THE WORLD/AMERICA FALLING SCENARIO@@Quilcario

@@RoonyEAS frrr😭

and rising heat

Same as Absolute zero

@@jazzythings4307 with it distorting at the end

@@OnionRings9770 that was terrifying, both with the distortion in rising heat and absolute zero

I saw that black hole video and it was so sad on the ending

Same

They still do it while I'm in senior high

Well your a lucky person

Lmao I’m in high school and some of my classmates are shouting “death to America”

@@antagasugite35 Tell them they should take a look at the US Consitution and thank God it exists as if they didn't live in the US and lived in a real fascist nation...they'd face the wall for that.

I used it in one of my eas videos because me and my friend play minecraft all the time. And we wanted to do a wither storm movie. So in episode 4 (im working in it right now) has this video in it because to me it sounds great and wanted to show my friend it

And I also agree

What a nice plane. First designed to be unstable, to benefit the plane

@Matt Asbell also the time reverse one

Yes lol

BAGAHAHAG

Tom text-to-speech Nuclear sirens playing louder than the message

@@SarimFaruque no signal: DID YOU FORGET ABOUT ME?!

Rick Brosh, the complete version you're mentioning from Pittsburgh would be from WTAE-TV, including the "Aim High America" message, in fact, a few years ago, youtube used to have the WTAE 1986 sign-off with the Aim High SSB film. The alternate version from Pittsburgh w/o the "Aim High America" message would be from WPGH Fox 53.

LMAO FR

Or whenever the world ends

I wish you were right.

What an awesome video!!!

@@joycewhite9281 Yes it is , thanks sissy !!! 😀

We thank you for your service. 🇺🇸

Sameee

My schools did not played the national anthem

And of course, after the last notes fade out and before we all sat down, we would then whimsically shout out "Play ball!"

I still love this Country... just not the arseholes who would try to destroy it from within !

Me too Brian. Loved it. Defiantly impacted my life.
