  • "Long ranger" AHahahaha that's what she said

  • I'm living in 1940s house that didn't have the basement cleaned out as part of the deal to get it, and when I explored down there I found an action figure in its original sealed box that said "The Lone Ranger" on it. I wonder how much it's worth these days.

  • So cool !!!!! I wish those idiots running the TV would put good clean stuff like this back on. This is the kind of stuff our kids need to be watching. What a great role model. I actually have his picture up in my office. "Hi-yo Silver!!!"

  • i had a lone ranger gun and mask!

  • Comment removed

  • yeeeaaaaAAH! XD BADAZZ!!!

  • BEST LINE. GEE TONTO  LOOK AT ALL THOSE INDIANS. BOY ARE WE IN TROUBLE. "WHAT DO U MEAN WE KEMO SABAY!"

  • DON T FORGET JAY SILVERHEELS (SEE WIKI) CANADIAN INDIAN LACROSSE PLAYER WHO ENDED UP IN HOLLYWOOD. LATER HE AND CHIEF DAN GEORGE BECAME GREAT FRIENDS. ALTHOUGH ALWAYS REMEMBERED AS TONTO HE ALSO PLAYED GERONIMO IN A MOVIE AND EVEN AN AZTEC IN ANOTHER. (SEE IMDB) LEE WARNOCK.

  • @baronor2 Love Jay Silverheels. God Bless him.

  • Now THIS is entertainment!

  • id by lying if i told you that this them song didnt still bring chills down the back of my neck when i heard it.........

  • Maybe I'm going crazy in my old age, but was there ever a Lone Ranger intro that did not use the William Tell Overture? The lyrics went something like:

    Six men of justice, now all dead but one

    Hi-yo, Silver, Hi-yo Silver away

    Hi-yo Silver, Hi-yo Silver away

    The Lone Ranger is his name

    That was the very last part of the intro, as I recall.

  • @KierneM YES.. it was the story of the Cavendish Gangs Ambush... Six Texas Rangers Hi Yo ...Hi ..Yo... was one lyric..

    He uses silver bullets ....Hi yo ...Hi yo... the mark of his name hi yo hi yo... a great silver stallion, A mask to disquise him as he lifes to tell the tale of HI Yo ..Hi YO Silver Away,.....

  • i was a ophan with my 2 BROTHERS AT SAINT AL'S ORPAHAGE IN CINCINNATI, OHIO AND THEY CAME THERE 1950'S

  • One of the many shows I grew up on as a kid since my parents wouldn't sell out for cable. While my friends were watching HBO & MTV I was watching The Lone Ranger, Zorro, Superman, Star Trek, etc. I think I had it better as a kid.

  • I remember watching this as a kid, brings back good memories, and this show has such good morals unlike a lot of today's shows.

  • If he went crazy, he'd be the Lone Derranger.

  • Traffic jam :-( All this horsepower and no room to gallop!

  • I remember watching The Lone Ranger at 6:00 a.m. as I was eating breakfast before school. Thanks for posting!

  • wonderful :D

  • Just added this video 2 my PLAYLIST of American TV Programme Intro's :)

  • Good music for RDR.

  • ...I was laughing the entire time. It reminded me too much of the batman dance. Thank-you internet for destroying my appreciation for old classics.

  • I'm on a horse

  • Dude I haven't even seen this before, I'm 17, and when he said "Hi Ho Silver!"

    I got goosebumps... why?

  • @RADIOACTIVEBUNY it's just in our DNA to affected by the epic Lone Ranger.  Some things last forever.

  • @RADIOACTIVEBUNY I did not know this before - but I know that Steven King picked up this "hi ho silver" in a story about a magic bike, fighting eval....

  • i thought it said love ranger 0_0

  • I miss watching this on TV when TV wasn't filled with crap

  • Clayton Moore was the Shiz.

  • omg i grew up on this

  • Walking to the elevator @ The beautiful Galvez hotel in historic Galveston , Texas this morning with IPhone in my pocket..guess what I heard going off?So very cool in deed...and yes ..the Lone Ranger does ride again. I miss you Ms Ochilo...

  • The music is exactly the same as used on the original radio show (from 1940 through '54): the "William Tell Overture" by Rossini, recorded in Mexico and part of the "transcribed music cues" used on the radio series. This opening title was used during the final season (1956-'57), with Fred Foy's narration. There's room at the beginning for Foy to add a sponsor I.D.- "GENERAL MILLS presents....".

  • whats this song called?

  • @Shabangified William Tell Overture

  • 0:31 video: Lone Ranger Opening Theme

    Frederick William Foy (March 27, 1921 – December 22, 2010) was an American radio and television announcer, who used Fred Foy as his professional name. He is best known for his narration of The Lone Ranger.

  • That man can ride a horse.

  • Fred Foy had rockin' pipes!

  • RIP, Fred Foy.

  • RIP Fred Foy, dead at 89...

  • Yes, Fred Foy is the announcer.

  • Rip Fred, another one of my child hood legends now doing voice-overs in heaven

  • Fred Foy RIP

  • i know the long ranger and his horse sliver . my friend got asked to ride him . so he could be fix over the summer :) he stays at my barn in hebron,maryland

  • man i wish i could be a cowboy from wayy back when

  • What's the closest thing to silver.....the lone ranger's bum.

  • hi ho sliver i used 2 watch be4 going off to school*

  • I recently got into this, and I was wondering. How many people played The Lone Ranger? IMDB says two actors played him? Did they switch roles and what not? I'm just confused on this ordeal, and if anyone can straighten it up for me, I'd greatly appreciate it! : )

  • @spawn1390 There were several actors who portrayed TLR on radio; Brace Beemer was probably the best-known. On television, the role was begun by Clayton Moore, who was briefly replaced by John Hart during a contract dispute beteen Moore and the producers of the show. Although Hart has his fans -- and deservedly so -- Moore is considered by most to be "the" Lone Ranger, and was brought back to the role until the conclusion of the series.

  • @David47Jens So, is this Fred Foy's voice announcing the Lone Ranger?

  • I think the Indian called Tonto in The Lone Ranger got a bad rab because that's the Spanish for stupid.

  • He was my favorite cowboy of the early 50's.

    Palidan, Steve McQueen(Wanted Dead or Alive) Hoppalong Cassedy, Maverick,Wild Bill Hiccock and Jingles, Hey wild Bill wait for me!, James Arness in Gumsmoke( it opened with a gun draw in the center of town), Marshall Dillon didn't shoot first but his opponent shot first amd missed, and right after Walt Disney on Sunday Night, Bonanza with Hop Sing and the Cartwrights. And after Bonanza, was my bed time!

    I have more but I ran out of letters!

  • Wow!!!! i love The Lone Ranger!! is My Hero

    i am 13 old year !!!

    10 stupids no like!!!

  • Is this the new Trailer for Red Dead redemption?

  • Classic as you get***

  • I did an autograph show with Clayton moore in the 1993. He was allowed to be himself once again. He was a class act.

  • hi,

    I like your music ..

    I'm making a video and I like to use your music ...  I have your consent to use it?

  • good thing that horse doesn't really run at the speed of sound or the Lone Ranger would shoot himself in the back.

  • My family played this game over the Thanksgiving holidays in which we each were given a sheet of paper with 24 little drawings that represented Christmas Carols and we had to guess the carol. My niece, still in High School, was the only one who figured out the drawing of the Lone Ranger and Silver with bells around the horse's neck stood for "Silver Bells". I just played this clip for my son so he would understand.

  • Clayton Moore was

    badly treated by the incompetent dingleberries who made THE LEGEND OF THE LONE RANGER, but I hope he knew that everybody who ever heard the radio show or saw himm on TV knew that he was the one and only, then,now, forever.

  • I know. They tried to stop him from wearing the mask in public so he had to wear shades for a while. I believe Moore finally won the suit if I recall correctly. This was the role he was born to play. RIP Clayton Moore.

  • @GHLIII My friend, Clayton Moore was the winner after all..The movie was the turkey of the year..And, by the way, whatever happened to that bozo who played the Lone Ranger? While we all remember who really played ol/ Kemo-who cares about that also ran? Clayton Moore was the man.. R.I.P., Big Kemo...

  • he is by far the coolest!!

    i remember singing the melody of the song as loud as i could when the school bell was ringing, to signal the end of a school day, whilst i was running out of the school making my way home... yes the good ol' days... :-)

  • @NilsPille Do u still remember his horse's name

  • @DarkAngelbaby1985 Silver, was the good horseys name. "hi ho, silver!!  :D

  • the lone ranger rides again ~ used to watch this whilst riding on the back of me nan's sofa till me uncle clouted me orf

  • THE MEANING OF KEMA SABE

    Jim Jewell, director of The Lone Ranger from 1933 to 1939, took the phrase from Kamp Kee-Mo Sah-Bee, a boys' camp it is from Jewell that the definition "trusty

  • scout" originates.The two most accredited origins are as follows:John Peabody Harrington's Ethnogeography of the Tewa Indians, published in 1916, defines the Tewa words kema and Sabe as "friend" and "Apache", respectively; according to popular belief, a "Dr. Goddard" of the Smithsonian Institution made the Lone Ranger connection after reading a copy in the annual report of the Bureau of American Ethnology. However, given that the Tewa language is spoken by Puebloan peoples in New

  • Mexico, and Kamp Kee-Mo Sah-Bee was in Cheboygan County, Michigan, this origin seems unlikely.John D. Nichols' A Concise Dictionary of Minnesota Ojibwe defines the Ojibwe word giimoozaabi as "he peeks" (and, in theory, "he who peeks"), making use of the prefix giimoo(j)-, "secretly"; Rob Malouf, now an associate professor of linguistics at San Diego State University, suggested that "giimoozaabi" may have also meant scout (i.e., "one who sneaks").

  • Great memories of the great old days.

  • BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  • Brings back memories

  • Kemosabe is a Potawatomi word for "horse's ass."

  • are you sure? I thought it meant trusted friend, or something like that.

    But, too, funny any way. BTW. look up the story about a 'horses ass'. it dates back to the Roman times. where do you think where the measurements between the rails of a railroad track comes from?

    It's just too funny, any way!

  • Tanto?

  • HEIGH HO SILVER!!

  • in France the people would eat that horse - yum

  • Not the French...the UFO aliens.

  • lol my dad likes to watch old black and white movies like this and lone ranger. xD

  • Umm..., White?? LOL

  • It's a Grey. : )

  • long time since i seen that fuck yaaaaaaaaaa

  • What an intriguing idea, to collect opening themes from hero classics. Bravo and thanks!

  • he reminds me of Robin from Batman.

  • My hubby's gonna like this one1

  • Why? It's awesome that's why, if I watch BBC news I expect them to ride in with a gun shouting the news on horseback from now on. That might make it appealing to watch.

  • watch?v=wfspqcMNy6k

  • You don't have to do them, full stop! Anyone who does is such a tard!!!

  • i love that show

  • Yes you would get 100 caps on one roll but what always annoyed me was they did not always work. Must have been my cheap Lone Star cap gun!!

    Oh happy innocent days of childhood.

  • LOL I remember those!!!!

  • Happy times

    :)

  • Yes the Lone Ranger owned a silver mine, hence the silver bullets and this is where he got his money from to live on.

    I really loved watching this as a kid hiding behind a sofa with my Lone Star cap gun shooting at the baddies.

  • Tonto was played by actor Jay Silverheels

  • The Lone Ranger owned a silver mine so he got his bullets cheap.

  • this was filmed in Newport , Wales. The mountains in the background are the Brecon Beacons , which are tallest mountains in Europe.

  • PS the speed of light is 186 000 miles per second. That horse was significantly slower by my calculations , which means the man was lying

  • lol

  • erm, what about the Alps?! in fact, the brecon beacons aren't even the tallest mountains in Wales!

  • The French lied about the height of the alps. Just look at that fantastic scenery. It couldn`t be anywhere else.

    Did you know BB King , the famous Welsh musician takes his name from the Brecon Beacons ? There is a statue of him in Beale St , Lampeter.

  • the brecon beacons aren't even near newport, but id like to beleive it was filmed in wales

  • Trust me , I am a plumber and we never lie.

    The Lone Rangers faithful sidekick was called Tonto. Tonto Evans , who was from Aberyswyth.

  • Nothing to do with this subject but in response to Pirzic's comment. I had a friend who owned a horse that was a champion trotter, it taook her ages to break the horse of trotting very fast to actually galloping, anyway...came the day she wanted to try it out as fast as it would go...i stood at the 2 furlong pole on the track and she came from the 4 fulong pole towards me...That animal went by me so fast and so close that the wind of it had me off my feet .

  • You are what is wrong with the world

  • haha, so cool, and stupid at the same time :p At that time they where like: Woah!! so cool!! Hes a hero!

    lol!

  • I'm a girl, so he was my first big crush. I loved him. He seemed so noble, brave and handsome (even though I couldn't see his face). I have never seen Clayton Moore without either the mask or sunglasses and to this day I don't know what he looked like!

  • Man this brings back happy times.One of first t.v shows i remember seeing as a kid.Loved it.I would go out after on my bike with my holstered cap gun and i was THE LONE RANGER.

  • When I was a kid and first discovered the music was the William Tell Overture, I got a record of it and played it over and over again. It was a 75 rpm record, and I played it on a non-electrical Victrola that had to be wound up with a crank before each play. The needle had to be changed aftter 5 or so plays.

  • How much did it cost for each needle? I mean, as part of someone's salary at the time.

  • The needles were cheap, and a kid like me could afford them. Maybe a buck a hundred; I can't remember for sure. But with those needles, the sound quality was not the greatest by today's standards. Even so the music seemed great and glorious as the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver came to mind.

  • Ah yes those were the days my friend we thought they would never end.

  • Correct title was 'The William Tell Overture (Finale)'. As for the needles - they also made a mess of the record.. hence when you play an old '78' on a modern record played the sound is very crackly and full of 'hiss' (and not the audience 'hiss' when they saw the baddie in the Lone Ranger series..lol)

  • Him heap big plonka !

  • well i never saw him arrange a loan for anybody.

  • the Lone Ranger and Tonto are gay

  • that was fun too see

  • I loved this sooooooooooo much!

  • This is where the cliche all started. Amazing, isn't it?

  • hehe, love it! xD

  • the lone ranger is a known sex offender......

    no wait...thats Pee Wee Herman

  • What did Pee Wee do besides jack off in a movie theatre? And that was nothing anyway.

  • o yeah, i forgot...jacking off in movie theatres is an 'ok' thing to do....

    jeez....

  • Lol. Soooo classic.

  • i remember me and my sister used to watch this at my grandpas when i was little :)

  • As an early UK TV kid from the early fifties this is a spooky memory from "children's HOUR".

    I wanted Silver but lusted after Tonto's long hair! Always sided with the Indians.

  • Of course ammo is expensive, he used silver bullets :-)

  • This is the original answer to "How can you tell if someone is an intellectual?" The original answer was "Someone who can hear the William Tell Overture, & not think of The Lone Ranger." I think the more modern answer would be "Someone who can hear Wagner's Ride Of The Valkyries, & not think of Elmer Fudd." (Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit!!!)

  • The Lone Ranger was filmed in Swansea , Wales and was based on a true story about a man called Hugh Owens. His faithful companion "Biji-Bo" was played by Jay Silverheels who was From Scotland originally.

    I used to love watching it when I was a Kid. It made me want to move to Swansea and buy a White Horse.

  • lol ;-) he he he he ! IQ Nos
