M.A.S.K. extended Theme Song

[NWOConspiracyGroup]

Oh my gosh, that theme tune. Now i have just gone bought the complete box set on Amazon. Yipee!!

[th3ua3]

Got the boxset from Amazon last year and I love it!

[metamorphosis743]

@th3ua3 me too

[jaapengel79]

If they can turn the A-Team, GI Joe and Transformers into movies, surely someone must be already thinking of dragging M.A.S.K. into the 21st century? Right?

[CrazyGrapefruit]

It would be ABSURDLY easy to make a film of this series...

"Illusion is the ultimate weapon" has to be the coolest tagline ever.

[2349DF]

ma, ma, ma, mask. MASK!

[Dyson107]

Where did you get this full version song?

[designguy06]

This song gets my vehicle motor running each morning.

[SpeedoJoe]

Masterminds, masterminds, MASTERMINDS

[nicksousa8]

m m m m MASK!!!!

[nightcrow90]

I dont care if the "M:A.S.K" movie becomes shity like G.I Joe haha

I just wanna see it xD

[80skor]

This song makes me want to go over the speed limit

[66steven66]

larry leon is my friend i've losted contact with over the years. but that boy can out sing anyone..he did work with xeron, big mouth and other project since this..

[MuggleSnuggles]

I pity the kids growing up in the 2001's-2010's. Their shows don't have slick 80s theme songs and dudes running around with cool masks. We knew how good we had it back in the day.

[Hyper1972Rx]

@MuggleSnuggles It's the usual "i'm growing up' crap these days. I miss these series and i'm seriuously thinking about starting some Network or Internet channel re-running these series!

[therealannoyingNPC]

@MuggleSnuggles thats why there is youtube fo kids like me to watch these old cartoons i have already seen transformers g1 as well as beast wars and loved them both

[Bagheadman]

@MuggleSnuggles Are you kidding me? This show was terrible! It had a good theme song, but come on. COME. ON.

[MuggleSnuggles]

@Bagheadman Wrong.

[Bagheadman]

@MuggleSnuggles No, very right. Don't let nostalgia fool you.

[TFKNOWLSY]

@MuggleSnuggles very true

[ECMIM]

I still have the Hurricane ('57 Chevy) somewhere in a box around here! And this extended cut is awesome!

[Fanik10]

@ECMIM Hurricane!!!

[SSfeLixi]

Jesus Christ, I loved this cartoon...

[SerialKiller1986]

I used to watch this show long time ago back when I was a kid , alongside other obscure 80s cartoon shows like Spiral Zone and Bionic 6 ! good times *Shed tears*

[blueferret1978]

I had no idea this even existed!!! I would have loved to hear this when the cartoon was first shown. Thank you for the posting.

[10thedanz]

This is sooooo wonderful!! I never could forget this!! Thank you so much for this!!

[JonesHenry03]

Mask would kick ZOG:s but anyday!

[TRE1275]

Actually 80's toon were just as lame as the shit today. The biggest difference were the badass designs and theme songs most of them had.

[catlillith]

I miss the 80s, it was the best time for a kid to grow up in

[Fanik10]

MASK was awesome!!

[SaturnBoy87]

MASKMASKMASKMASK

[GraverOne]

i had the "action figures" and all the vehicles of that series back in my childhood. love this!!!!!!

[forkerball]

Cartoons today are shit compared to all these classic 80's shows

[nickqt]

I had this lunch box and a Gobots lunchbox.

Christ the 80s were awesome.

[feihung7]

I've read this entire post and multiple people have asked but no answer so hopefully someone can finally answer. How do you get a copy of this song or rather this version of the song on MP3 or even cd? Help!

[excelbolt]

80s at its best

[randomguy2447]

robot chicken

[rochey1010]

@randomguy2447 MASK, No one knows....what underneath the masked charade MASK, What's underneath....are dudes with regular faces MASK, Helicopters....that turn into smaller Helicopters MASK, Cars open their doors....which sort of makes them aeroplanes MASK..... MASK, Do they know....command doesn't start with a K MASK, The things they turn into ....are worse then they were before MASK, Do they sell....the gas to themselves MASK, The show appears to take place in somewhere.........maybe Nevada

[rochey1010]

I'm so embarrassed to admit that i have this on my Ipod...and *scrolling*...cool music...cool music...what this? M.A.S.K. Extended Theme on a 27 year old's Ipod....Yes I'm a nostalgic Geek :))

[Fektthis]

@rochey1010 Yearning for the good old days when you were 1? lol. it's all good. i'm posting on a youtube video for the theme song to a 26 year old cartoon. i wouldn't take anything i say to personally. XD

[brinpol]

The best thing about this version? No Danny and his equally annoying Egg-bot ;)

[cooljjjj]

2 people didn't see the laser rays.

[metrospider]

@cooljjjj eff them.

[kimbalyah513]

That is pretty awesome! I did not know that there was an extended opening theme. It is great to find a rare jewel like this on youtube.com. Thanks!

[TRE1275]

A movie based on this series could kick total ass but I know it would butchered like Transformers and the first G.I. Joe flick was.

[MysticArksRevenge]

@TRE1275 That's because they want to appeal it to TODAY'S GENERATION.

[JerichoAlan]

Bloody amazing!

[12redscorpion]

ILLUSION IS THE ULTIMATE WEAPON

[cmack007]

I never knew there was a extended version of this song. I have to put this track on my ipod now!! Thanks for the upload!

[xxmikexx187]

The 2 people that dislike this song as the biggest lamest douche bags ever! this song is amazing! I WANT TO SEE A M.A.S.K MOVIE! hahahaha!

[AWorldsCreator]

@xxmikexx187 me too. But only if this one would be the OST. ^_^

[joesingle]

I love it!  Thanks for uploading!

[ChiefTac]

Most awesome M.A.S.K song ever!!

[keithopulis]

I will sell my soul to whoever can take me back to the 80's!

[27Bluebottle]

They knew how to do theme songs back then

[austinismadcrunk]

The only thing I truly regret in life is only watching Nickelodeon when I was a kid. Missed out on Transformers, G.I. Joe, M.A.S.K., and all the other awesome early 90's cartoons.

[StarBucks718]

YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH­HHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vlgproductions]

So many memories to this theme man. Great work finding this

[kinmanyuen]

mask was like MTV in cartoon world... nowadays cartoons are dead.

[jordanxc6]

nick carr not shuki levy... shuki is the composer

[jordanxc6]

nick carr not shuki levy

[whatevers31]

HELICOPTERS THAT TURN INTO SMALLER HELICOPTERS!!!!

[SlaughterTheFrail]

Why is it called Mask when they're helmets?

[obsidiansands]

@SlaughterTheFrail way I heard it from my buddy, M.A.S.K. stood for:

Mobile

Armored

Strike

Kommand

his words not mine...

[katiti]

@SlaughterTheFrail M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand)

[Mr991sc]

this song kickass 

[Heartborne7thSeeker]

I just got myself the entire mask series on dvd,and it only cost me 150kr (15pounds)

[finnmeister]

Dude - we need an MP3...

Like, now....

[NCC63549]

Sweet where can I get the mp3?

[hansbampf]

legendary, love this song.

[SolidGoldCEO]

Its well over 20 years easy since I first watched this and Ive never heard the second verse.

[riderbuzz]

let's campain to bring mask back to the airwaves, like the hub

[sithlord1626]

@riderbuzz im with you rider,since they brought G.I.Joe and transformers back they should also do thundercats and voltron as well

[capmodesty]

@sithlord1626 thundercats is happening.

[Phandral]

I wonder how often you should use your MASK? Every time? ANY time?

[DjCartOOn]

YAYYYYYYY Been looking for this song FOREVER!

Thanks so much for posting it!!! =)

[GlaciusX2]

Ehhhh i used to watch re-runs of this show back in the 90s ^^ Was one of my favorite catroons

[tezaintright]

2 people work for VENOM! This long version is awesome! Feels like im back at the house after school watching this in my room, thanks for the memories.

[daoneCRe]

This brought me back!!! WOW Thumbs up if you're 27 plus and remember this VIVIDLY!

[snappy2332]

@daoneCRe what if your 19 enjoying the shit out it n have no memory of this show what so ever?

[daoneCRe]

@snappy2332 You're good too lol....thumbs up!

[kevhuynh]

@daoneCRe

How could you have watched this if you were 27? It came out in 1985. Unless you guys were watching it when you were 1-2 years old...

Now 35 years old fart like me...

[SeanOBriain]

@daoneCRe Almost 29 here... Huge part of my childhood. 

[spinfox2000]

Yaay,  super cool.... tumbs up for MILES MAYHEM

[jawsartist]

@dktx This is Larry Leon doing the vocal tracks idiot. I've known the guy for 25 years and played in 2 bands with the guy. So I know he sang this. I went to the other cartoon theme you spoke of to listen to the vocalist who you think sang this, and he sounds nothing like this guy. FAIL!!!

[nikolasbelmont]

This shit sends shivers down my spine. 1980 baby.

[Sprookzz]

more like a helmet lol

[PatTheNESpunk]

Holy shit this rules.

[DrSpecktro]

I don't know why I searched for this theme but glad I found your version! Never heard it like this! Music themes for 80's Animated programs always set the atmosphere and got you ready for the show and it's heroes... But alas, no producers get that these days. <:^(

Good job!

[Tarngold]

Im starting to whistle this song at work now between taking calls lol, thanks for posting this

[Tarngold]

Im starting to whistle this song at work now between taking calls lol, thanks for posting this

[womblewandering]

Where did you get this track from dude? I want it. Do you have other 80s cartoon full tracks? :)

[mannishmanu]

all i want to know is who the 2 faggots who rated this thumbs down?????!!! ARE THEY INSANE?!!??!!? IDIOTS!!!!! (to say the least)

[ceonee]

This song thunder a lot of watt, a storm of cobalt directly inside your ass baby.

Mask is fireblame tower full of thunder coming in and out guys!

enjoy freedom!

[ziostraporco]

I'M OMNIKNOWER AND I REALLY LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS SONG WATH'S AMMERICA YEAH MASTER POWER OF FLAVOUUUUUUR YEAAAAAAAAH MY GOD

[ziostraporco]

I'M  OMNIKNOWER AND I REALLY LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS SONG WATH'S AMMERICA YEAH MASTER POWER OF FLAVOUUUUUUR YEAAAAAAAAH MY GOD

[mujixa81]

Love it.

[lardimus]

The beginning of this song reminds me of the intro of a game called LED Storm

youtube dot com/watch?v=80dFwuDe3TA

Same dooblyblooblydoobly kind of thing going on in the beginning.

[mechahalcon]

I miss my childhood and the 80's, where every cartoon was always about teamwork, and working together to overcome evil, in the most kickass way possible. The rock, the hair, the style, the way they made you feel pumped after watching the shows. When i used to finish watching M.A.S.K as a kid I always had to go out in the garden to unleash all the energy I'd absorbed from the cartoon! Good times!

[Comicdominicano]

"ILLUSION IS THE ULTIMATE WEAPON"

M.A.S.K......

Today Music SUCKS!!

[JohannVF]

Epic 80's Cock Rock.

[StargodArbiter]

Born in 1981. Owned every goddamned vehicle.

[lakersruleyeah]

The FULL Mask theme song...who knew there was a freaking second verse and a guitar solo??? This song just pumps me up every time I hear it. WORKIN' OVERTIME--FIGHTING CRIME--FIGHTING CRIME!!!

[chocobo05]

excellent piece!! love it

thx for sharing m8

[zwan2]

Cette fois-ci je préfère cette version à la version française :

/watch?v=g-BPVv6CT7w

[SamuraiMatt3000]

do you think they should make a mask film? using todays actors and graphics?

[karatcha]

That's why we prefer M.A.S.K. than The Mask.

[HAWK50CENT]

all these years there always a song in my head i just can not remember the name now i FUCKIN find it!!!!!!!!!!

[FerraziGTO]

Briiliant!!Tune Excellent!!

[coffinfeeder2007]

did they quit doing the video responses? im werkin on a good version of this tune

[coffinfeeder2007]

im about to cover this tune, me and my friend used to race home everyday after shcool to catch the episodes then we would meet up and play with the toys we had. Mask kicks ass!

[wizard55]

I know there was a full length song released in French of this but I had no idea there was an english version? Was this from a CD/Record? or just recently recorded??

[beef2taco]

haha i still remember playing MASK back in the 80s with my uncle. the cartoon is one of my favorite childhood favorites..next to Tron

[Aikozord]

DOes the guy who sings this sing th TV them to?

[Aikozord]

Do you have the lyrics?

[supacoopz]

OMG. this is my childhood right here. . .SackHaarRasierer "YOU ROCK"

[SNK038]

I'm in heaven, where did you find an extended theme song? Maybe they released a soundtrack like when Saber Rider got one. Transformers still hasn't gotten a decent one for the series. Holy crap!!! Extra lyrics! Use your mask anytime! All the time! I'll be singing this in the shower instead of "You've got the Touch" now. This music BTW, is by Shuki, a Jewish composer that basically did all the 80s music including He-Man and Inspector Gadget.

[dkyx]

@SNK038 You sing "You've got the touch" in the shower? xD

[dkyx]

Excellent track!

Word of note, this is NOT sung by Larry Leon or whoever the hell he is.

It's sung by the same artist who did the intro for Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.

Thing is, I forgot his name over the last year and Google has since been clogged up giving false results.

I'll post again when I got the name.

[SackHaarRasierer]

@dkyx Sounds interessting - explain yourself ;)

[narwhol1]

It was actually written and composed by Shuki Levy: "An award winning composer, songwriter, recording and performing artist, Shuki Levy has garnered 15 Gold and Platinum records with sales in excess of 14 million records worldwide. He has scored over a dozen feature and television films, composed the music for over 130 television shows, written the music for a Broadway-bound musical, and produced, written and directed multiple film and television projects."

[nafebronafe]

@dkyx sorry Shuki Levy composed it i don't know if he sung it.

[captainredneck1983]

@dkyx Noam Kaniel.

[nafebronafe]

@captainredneck1983 Beat me to it lol

[cybertronization]

@dkyx The *M.A.S.K.* theme was sung by a guy named Noam Kaniel. He sung the theme songs for almost every DIC Entertainment cartoon in the '80s. He sang the theme song for the He-Man/She-Ra movie *The Secret of the Sword* for Filmation, titled "I Have the Power."

[dkyx]

@cybertronization Incorrect :) Listen to Mysterious Cities of Gold intro, listen carefully to Noam's voice there and then take a listen to Jayce and MASK's intros. They aren't the same. It's true that Noam did alot but these particular ones aren't sung by him.

I forgot about this once again so I'll start looking around for the MASK/Jayce singer a bit more thoroughly now. I knew his name once, I'll be damned if I won't find it again.

[dkyx]

@dkyx Well it seems you're right, Noam is indeed credited for MASK but I also found the name I forgot from long ago. The guy responsible for Jayce aswell as MASK (!!) is a greek singer/composer called Nick Carr (real name Nikos Karvelas). This guy's 80's cartoon history is strangely vague but he does pop up together with Noam in a few searches.

[jawsartist]

@cybertronization Your another guy who is completely wrong about who sang this song, The guys name is Larry Leon. If you don't believe me, look up a band named Big Mouth the song is called "Without Love" here on youtube and you tell me thats not the same guy.

[womblewandering]

@dkyx

Wow...where did this dude get this extended track from? I want to buy it

[wolfyness]

@dkyx DO IT MAN DO IT!!! JAYCE WAS ALSO THE BEST SHIT THERE EVER WAS!!! HIYAAAAA!!! GET BACK TO US ASAP DUDE!

[rochey1010]

@dkyx i think the singer is NICK CARR....i'm not sure.

[BigDumbJerk]

FALSE

[mattrob24]

@dkyx It's Shuki Levy.

[Guitrancerevolution]

@dkyx ITs about time you post a name huh?

[Ryugen01]

@Guitrancerevolution I do believe it was Shuki Levy, He made the the song and I pretty damm sure he sung it too

[EightTrackBass]

@Ryugen01 In an interview I read, he stated he wrote the music but couldn't remember the name of the guy that sung it.

[Nightshift10000]

I wish they'd make a Call Of Duty Modern Warfare version of this song. It could be like - Soap is gonna lead the mission, Ghost has got some, SUPER, VISION!

[lol4w5625]

anyone know how i can find all the episodes?

[thegreenmanofnorwich]

That's pretty good. The second verse sounds like it has a slightly different structure with an extra syllable or two in (what I think is) "Lucien is the ultimate weapon". I really like it though, and the bridge is a big dollop of 80s goodness! The end does crop up unexpectedly though.

[henrywalsh]

Heh that line is: Illusion is the ultimate weapon.

[wackojim]

Absolutely incredible! I never knew there was an extended version! Larry Leon rules!

Dankeschön for sharing this!

RIP Arnim André-Rohleder.

[GeneralAMSEL79]

@wackojim:who is Arnim André-Rohleder?

[HappyBirthdaySANTA]

[catarata1]

I already got the MP3 it really rocks YEAH!!!

[KREEPYKRAWLLY]

i remember this cartoon...OMFG..lol

[chindall]

I have been searching for this forever. There used to be a music video back in the 80's with this extended song. Oh thank you sooooo much :).

[Geshtar82]

This Sounds like the Elecman theme from Megaman same composer maybe?

[Gregrg7]

Where can I get a stereo MP3 of this song?

[chutoduro]

This singer could have done good in a power-metal band.

MASK rocks, the best when i was a kid!

[Alan1701b]

Ah, memories! Thanks for uploading that! M.A.S.K. was a fantastic show and the toys were just awesome! It was a pleasure to watch the episodes and collect the toys! They both entertained and brought me such fun and excitement when I was a kid!

[liprandi]

How cool were these toys?

[Alan1701b]

Extremely cool! What kid didn't wish that their dad's car had gull wing doors and could fly!

[catarata1]

True!!! that would be asome, I thouch the same when I was a kid!!!

[sheero1977]
