[john111257]

[stangfever04]

this song was awesome before,but the synthesizer with the violin sounds makes it that much better.

[naumutroi]

when i first heard this song, I thought the singer was a chick LOL

[zapspace]

From Coventry, UK ...

[edgar507]

everytime i hear this song think in the music actually is dying!! no sense no life no emotion ni passion!! i like this classic of the contemporanean music!! i'm only 25 years.. jajaja

[ssur55]

We did this song in one of our school marching band routines in 1976.

[debbeko1]

He was cute.

[sadie1310]

Fantastic sound quality on this Mike

[knakao1963]

This song is so famous for middle-aged Japanese men, because

professional wrestling is very popular among us and it used to be

played when one of superstar wrestlers of '70s, the great Mexican

Mil Mascaras, appeared on the ring.

One of his offensive moves "Cross chop", is in Japanese called something

like "Flying cross attack" and seemed to us this song perfectly fit his image.

The song topped the Japanese hit chart, while virtually no one knew or even

was interested in who Jigsaw were.

[tubeshow1000]

Obra de arte.

Amo essa musica.

[692ALBANNACH]

WHY CAN;T THEY MAKE CREATE RECORD SONGS LIKE THIS ANYMORE ?

[joyceeslillad]

@692ALBANNACH Lack of talent mate

[MrKaewkwan]

thanks for uploading. It calls back good memories since I was young .14 yrs old....

Nowaday They don't do a song like this anymore. I hate rape

[papuanewguineapunkjr]

I think that fern sitting next to that drummer is what is making him smile so much. I know it would make me smile.

[vasquezge]

hey do you know that this song was the background song of the pro- wrestler Mil mascaras in the all japan pro wrestling?

[Northshoreman1]

This recording has the BEST Bridge and Hook of any song i have ever heard.I actually found this as a re release on CD with a mega version of Sky High extended version,Jigsaw was so beyond a music consept it still blows me away,thank you for the posting,greetings from Oyster Bay NY

[GrahamSimons]

Great song, great video (filmed at the North Side of Heathrow Airport at the Penta Hotel I think! As I'm an old DJ... I been on with Jigsaw a number of times in the 1970s in and around the Peterborough area - they were a FANTASIC band to see live!

[lakeladymel]

Wow <they are all wearing white suits !!! I am talking about the SUPERCOOL guy with the glasses !!! He is the dreamguy. super cool !!!! I think you are amazing ! What talent !!!!

[mrsgritoli1]

Ahhh THE MAN FROM HONG KONG. Lazenby, Frank Thring and Hugh Keys-Burne.

Classic 

[ecmulder]

I can picture them putting this for the intro of an old anime, but this is a great song.

[roquecantera991]

lol

[DesDyer]

@roquecantera991 - The lyrics to the second verse are : "Up round I've flown , then down, down like a stone" . cheers DD

[jackamo23]

Huge thanks for sharing the 'promo' video, I cannot believe I have spent nearly thirty years mistaking the word 'foam' for 'phone'..thank the gods they splashed the lyrics over the video! I only recently found out this was from a martial arts soundtrack for the 1975 film 'Man From Hong Kong' and they had edited the track down to 2:52 from 3:53, a whole minute of sublime goodness gone but luckily someone has posted the film version (check out the brass section!) on YT!

[druss01]

This song is so wonderful and brings back so many memories!

[Katch22mike]

Great song and video, very sad news about Clive. My wife Jo and I would love to contact Tony Campbell who left in 1979. Anybody know where he is ?

[lakeladymel]

The guy in the white suit and glasses has got to be the grooviest guy ever. Don't know what it is ,but I've always loved him . He is super COOL !!!

[strangersound]

What's with the tripped out overdubs? :)

[thejobloshow]

Sounds like a kick ass James Bond theme.

[lostinxlation]

Mil Mascaras on the way.

[lakeladymel]

Awesome !!!!! So GREAT !!!

[MrRich9665]

the most over produced record ever .FANTASTIC LOL

[NrichD]

Bone thugs n harmony rapped over this and did an awesome version, called - Flow Motion, on Strength & Loyalty.. !

[Dazlee0010]

memories of September 2009. when i played the 1979 VFL finals series.

[The096757]

really sounds good. i always

envisioned these guy as short haired preppie boys though.

[starry8]

Nice song...I was 9 yrs old when this came out...good memories!

[MikeL1969]

Awesome!! I always thought this was a woman singing...

[JanBee1122]

01:26 The lyrics should read: "Up Round I've Flown, Then Down, Down Like a Stone". I would hate to be singing those other lyrics about "foam" at my local kareoke bar. Hee Hee. Great song, thanks for upoading.

[fractaljack]

Umm, those aren't "retro" sideburns - this WAS 1975, lol!!

[mel1nda12ax7]

@fractaljack 1975 still seems like barely yesterday...

[mel1nda12ax7]

@fractaljack ...and that look with the sideburns is still really cool!

[24nov67]

check out those retro style 70's mutton chop sideburns lol.

[tony121s]

Great song, saw the film 'Man From Hong Kong' back in about '75 at Gants Hill Odeon (when there was one) first time i was at film where the audience clapped at the end - brilliant - thanks for posting.

[fireblade95]

love this! got the 45!

[lakeladymel]

Very talented band !!! Great songs!!!

[mitchl847]

I remember this song being from the movie "The dragonflies" back in the 70's.

[Lilac309]

a timeless classic

[Lilac309]

are songs based on reality cos that's how it seems to me lol a good song

[mndandy]

The bass player lopped off about 10 lbs from his '60s Burns Vista-Sonic Bass (1:45), a criminal offense! They do weigh about 16 lbs normally, but what a sound....

[mister270]

this is a different mix than the original. more strings up front?

[24nov67]

has that guy at 2:37 got a glass eye? he looks a bit skew whiff, either thar or he's had a few sherbets to calm his nerve.

[neoconsnightmare3]

24nov, i read somewhere that he (the guitar player with glasse) is either an eye doctor or an glasses provider in england.

not a bad career when you think about it.

[julzrafpilot]

& the other guitarist (John wilson)  works with children with learning dissabilaties, He inspired me to start playing the guitar he's an awsome guy!

[neoconsnightmare3]

julzafpilot, that's cool to know. that's a great career for anyone.

[julzrafpilot]

yeh or so it is he is a ledgend of a guy got alota respect for him :)

[atp1962]

Loved this group, great sound ! I wonder if they still tour any. Love to see them live

[waytallwhitey]

imalittlemidget, where does his band play???

[julybaby61]

Can you video Fingers and Fumbs the next time you see them and post it here?

[marpione61]

avevo 14 anni all'epoca e l'ho ascoltata per la prima volta a supersonic da allora non l'ho piu' dimenticata

[box99]

Excellent, thanks. This puts every GD rap recording to shame.

[kodiakfred140]

Somebody invent a G**damned time machine so I can go back!!! These times suck musically!!

I remember this song well. I used to skate to it with my first girlfriend.

[bednek]

You're absolutely right! I'm 52 years old and the music back then was so much better. The composition and the lyrics. A writter from the rolling stones mag. siad years ago that the best music came from the 70's. That's why there were so many one hit wonders. Ken

[centralexpress78]

Mr.Tomohiro Nioka@Hokkaido-Nipponham-Fight­ers(japan major Baseball Team) used his enter song.

[anotherblownengine]

Best sound quality I've heard for this song yet. Picking up instrumentation I've never heard before. Awesome. Skol! -A

[DarriePower]

Love this song, it makes me feel sky high when I hear it ! So glad I grew up in the

70's!

[trianglepoint]

The best band's are gone ....for now ..what is all this hip-hop b/shit today just violence and........what....Great song by JIGSAW

[iucoltsfan]

ive got this song on 45 vinyl record

[smbjr2001]

Every time I hear this song I can remember way back to when I was only 3 years old. I remember hearing it on the car radio as my mom & dad drove to Down Town Dallas to clean offices at night. It ws a new song back then. R.I.P., Mom!

[vdualtec1]

awsome song! days I would walk t watch bruce lee movies

[pinkandjefflynne]

Another one of those groups that should have done so much more than be one hit wonders. Excellent song. Just shows how good ELO were

[gorduche69]

fan en 1975 redecouvert 34 ans plus tard merci you tube

[bds1167]

I used to hear this song on the way to seeing the Philadelphia Flyers with my brother in the mid '70's!!!! Will never forget it!

[Strawberry7Lynn]

Is this a clip from the film? I believe it's a alternatave recording of the song too, to the one released as a single.

[Strawberrycream69]

i have a fantastic re-work of this track ..absolutely awesome!!!!

[1977Bewitched]

I grew up in the 70's too and this is the original! also the lyrics at 1:30 are wrong... it should be "Up Round I've Flown

Then Down Down Like a Stone"

:) anyway... Great song!!

[amazingprovideo]

I don't know what you revisionists are talking about, this IS the original version. I grew up in the 70's and heard this exact version about a million times on the radio.

[leonaofficial]

You need to clean your ears and revisit a compilation cd. This is not the hit single version. Not even the start of the song is the same ! This version is covered all over in strings not on the original which suggests it`s the film version.

[jaleits]

Ahhhh the 70's...

I love the fact that it was taped next to the highway, in the midst of shrubs, at the airport! pretty funny! I wonder if they had to keep from choking on auto exhaust fumes?

[BigDeanoSyd]

So... over 30 years later I now discover that this song was actually sung by a MAN!

[created2kill]

wow,drummer also singing.. very good

[Heartbear]

AWESOME Symphonic!!

I Love the original too, It does sound like a soundtrack from a later decade though.

[AllKindsOfEverything]

One of the best intros of any song ever.

[djbillybop]

cracking tune from the 70s

[MFoy61]

was 16 when i saw the film at the parade cinema in dennistoun , glasgow ... remember sitting in awe at the hang~gliding scene with sky high being belted out .. good film , great song .

[charlesmannering]

Who added the extra strings?

[shum65]

Pure gold...!!!!

[1Guderian]

sound track from the movie

the man from hong kong ; 0

[hunkydaboyz]

starred Jimmy Wang Yu, for some reason , i've always remembered that

[novemberunderground]

I didn't live in the 70's but this song sounds tooooooooootally 70's. Good tune.

[md4bush]

I didn't know David "Squiggy" Landers played guitar. and was Australian.

[Burnwash]

Ha ha! Good call!

[radioman66]

WOW the mix is diff on this video. I'm not used to this mix. Is this the Album version? The single wasn't as heavy stringed, and without the horns. Interesting. Hmmmm

[KateyF]

God, my brother and I loved this song growing up! i still love it! Does anyone know if it has been digitally remastered?

[muddybrookrambler]

i'm pretty sure it's on one of the rhino records 70's compilations...

[ozphil]

I saw on one of those infomercials Time/Life has it on one of the collections, 70's hits. Forgot who the front two announcers were but they love to get your credit card number, they'll have a listing

[biomince]

This is why I love youtube.....You can literally find anything! Thanks for posting this...you rock!

[hansolo5d]

Absolutely! This is why Youtube rules. To find gems like these.The people who share these gems should be commended. This song takes me back to my childhood every time I hear it.

[ReginaMac]

FTR, the line is "Why did it have to stop", not "But did it have to stop". I don't know where the karaoke dude got that one.

[mowm88]

Very good song.

[tmhgdh]

great song - still stands up well. I think there is something cool about singing drummers.

[kohoutekdriver8]

Lou Gramm of Foreigner is a drummer as well, although not with the band. I have seen him play, on TV, and he's very good.

[ossamotocross]

Its a great song - we used to listen to it before we raced MX back in the mid-seventies - and then we would go and blow a berm "Sky High!" - Maico's forever!

[IpA]

The drummer is great.

[Phil28168]

I love the song.

[jaimej2k2]

One of my favorite songs of all time.

[longfade]

Yes, me too bigtime.  I can't get enough of this tune lately, and it seems like the more I listen to it, the more I love it. This version's interesting b/c it's a different mix than the single, but they're lip-syncing. It's cool hearing those string parts. I just love this song.

[jaimej2k2]

You've pretty much summed up everything I love about this song!
