  • I think that's "Conquerors of the sky".

    Great song, thanks for posting it. Excellent sound quality.

  • Han pasado casi cincuenta años y hasta ahora me acuerdo deesta serie y esta canción como si lo hubiese visto ayer.

  • @alfacentautro3 Well alrighty then.

  • Gotta love Don Spencer, Russel Crow's father-in-law

  • I liked the song then..I love it now. Don't know who sung it but he did a great job!

    I'll have to google it.

  • @EZ103FM Don Spencer sung the theme song

  • Tuc,great work,at 46 this brings back some memories :)

  • I see these additional errors -- and here's the corrections

    To A wonderland of stardust

    'CUZ you would be my Venus of the stars

    Famous AND reknowned

    I'll never reach the STARS

  • @SouthParkBear Does this mean I have to correct them now?

  • @tucsondog

    It's up to you LOL

    I know that "Stars" doesn't rhyme with "eyes," but it's poetic license because it fits better, and they already used "skies"

  • it must of been great for gerry to let his imagination run wild

  • They play this as Coast to Coast A.M. bumper music somtimes

  • I like this song even more now - with the lyrics and the full song. I remember watching it as a kid without understanding most of the words, but still crooning it!

  • awesome show!

  • lovely

  • I used to love this show when I was a little boy and to this day still think the song is fantastic.

  • Love it, this was the song that my wife and had our first dance to at the reception of our wedding, back in 2006. Everyone there loved it.

  • @Andrei613 Guess you or your wife is an astronaut (or otherwise working in the space program)! ;)

  • @altfactor I wish that either of us was. No, I'm just a space history fan of very long standing. Plus a major Gerry Anderson/Barry Grey fan, as well. It was funny, a few years ago, we were in the Dulles Annex of the National Air & Space Museum, and I was telling my wife about the Shuttle Enterprise, and when I looked around, I have about 8 people standing nearby, who were listening in.

  • i did like this very much but it would be much better if the words written matched the words to the song

  • @MrLeighbob Thanks! I'll fix it when i get a chance...

  • I loved this show and this song, and I don't care if my age is showing.

  • This was my Favorite childhood TV show,thank you very much for bringing back all those childhood memories

  • Oh Yes.. !! the childhood memories are back again !!

  • Thank you very much, I always heard it as, "condors of the sky", 'wanderland' instead of wonderland, and never got the ending 'til I read it: thought it was, 'meaningless of our lives' which did not make much sense (and hence eventually for my quest for the lyrics.) If you google it up, there are several other productions of the lyrics to Fireball, XL5, as well as different lyrics listed. Stay tuned.

  • At 0.23 It should read Conquerers of the sky not Compass.

  • @bluff1953 Very true, very true indeed. Check back in about a min.

  • @tucsondog Also should say and, not or, at 1:18 :D

  • According to some sources there is also a fourth verse witten by Barry Gray for this: We'd make our way to Mercury; and travel wide and far. We'd take a trip to Paradise; and wish upon a star. We'd steer a course for Heaven; love would be our guide. My heart would be a Fireball, a Fireball Cause you would be the angel by my side Fireball, fireball, Cause you would be the angel by my side Fireball, fireball, Cause you would be the angel by my side Anyone got this version?
  • @neilbaker88 The only thing i can think of would be an extended outro for a movie, but that's just guessing on my part. I'll keep my eyes open and if i find it, i'll upload it too.

  • Fabulous song...and my dad use to sing this, too!

  • Very very happy memories of childrens kult tv.I used to watch this regularly.Gerry Anderson is a true legend.

  • Very very good....

  • Brings back good memories... jeez! i'm not a spaceman, can you be my Venus ohh! spacewoman and ride me in your XL-5.......lol.....

  • Thanks or posting that. I enjoyed hearing it again.

  • ghfk $"):@god @angel %$ @fairy

  • @rockstarchutku Well, If that's the way you feel about it.

  • thank you so much for this! i'd been wanting to listen to this for so so so long. It takes me back to the good old days when we-all of us friends- used to eagerly wait for fireball xl5 to start...ah! those were the days!

  • that sounds like a pretty cool dad viglanti...great memories of the greatest era for tv i was lucky enough to be born in 1950 and see tv in its heyday at least for me dont watch much anymore miss the great shows and cartoons ..

  • Beautiful Lyrics and Soothing Voice of ONE of my favorite singer with respect "SIR CLIFF RICHARD". It takes me back into my CHILDHOOD DAYs

  • this really takes me back. i watched this every saturday, and mike mercury in the super car

  • @VIGILANTI1 Glad you liked it. My dad used to sing the this song to me and my sister before bed when we were little. Who needed twinkle twinkle little star, we had Fireball XL-5!

  • @tucsondog my dad sang this to me when I was a kid too :)

  • I appreciate the posting of the full song with lyrics... but it's "conquerors of the sky," not compass of the sky... and several other words are wrong... listen to the vocals... thank you though

  • @randwolfray

    yeah, i did this at around 2-3 in the morning, i couldn't sleep so i decided to make this video... if i get around to it i'll update the lyrics.
