This tune was a sountrack in the film The Bitch based on Joan Collins sister's Jacke Collins novel.

BEST SHIT EVER

[veuvecliquot]

this video really didn't clear up any of the questions I had about this song O_o

[bobmorgan57]

My old Roommate just sent to me. We used to blow peoples minds with this album on the Klipschorns. I still have it in mint condition and the CD. Play the last song on this side "Ain't No Amercan Starship". Literally one of the best guitar solos ever played!! You will not EVER be able to pick out the lyrics being repeated during this solo though! hahahaha " That's It! --" Get in the right frame of mind - crank it up to 11 and enjoy that one!! wondering how you ever missed a classic like that!

[PhillyPhairPhan]

@dankwarth OK I did that. I was not prepared for that video to say the least. I did catch the Quantum Jump reference. I hope they got paid for it!

[lon3wolf2k9]

[quantumpurr58]

OK a quick quiz,..if the Lone Rangers horse was called Silver,do you know what Tonto..'s horse was called? Come on people I know you're brainy! XXXXXXXXXXXX

[ladymeade1]

@quantumpurr58

Scout

[davyboy232]

@quantumpurr58 the name of tontos horse was scout

[MrRalphsworld]

I had the LP this came from back in the day.A absolute masterpiece.Wish I still had it.

It got stolen in a burglary...at least the scrote had taste :)

[mekkaniak]

I have this LP, vinyl, in my collection. I bought when I was a kid, just for this song.

[PhillyPhairPhan]

For all of those trying to write out the first word... I had a buddy in the Army who bought this album when it first came out. The liner notes had all the lyrics, include that first word. That was way back in 1978 or 1979. Great tune, and some great guitar work. I like the sense of humor in it, too.

[tclol1]

i have no idea what they are singing about but the beginning was cool

[oliviagiles]

Great pronounciation too

[oliviagiles]

Oh my God, thats Maori...the longest placename in new zealand, where my dad comes from...far out.

[AnElephantsChild]

I've never seen the video before - it's even funnier watching them sing it.

Thanks for uploading it x x

[wolvesmike2]

@paulsmithii - It's John Goodsall, later of Brand X fame

[paulsmithii]

Great 80's video!!!

[santanocci]

far out man i always thought those two motherfuckers were gay as

[dbzty]

what

[tailgunner66]

Actually, on the CD this is the "Mixing and Hit single version". 

[tailgunner66]

Yes, The Lone Ranger was released on a Quantum Jump CD, I have it - it has this version and the extended mix. Awesome CD!

[TheAmicuscurii]

I had this on vinyl. Still got it somewhere. Ah, the heady days of browsing in second hand shops. They've cut it short, the single ends with "Hi Ho Silver, Away" from the american tv series. Simon Bates used to sign off his Radio One show with that same segment.

[genericgeorge]

Actually '79 was when I first heard this when it was re-released..

[genericgeorge]

And I think the show was called Radio With Pictures. I know it wasnt Countdown.

[genericgeorge]

Shit I havent seent his since 1976 on the abc. Good one!

[Stevesixty7]

I bought this all those years ago, and still have it to this day.

[groovindj]

In some shots the bass player looks like John Corbett.....

[Paneka17]

Can anyone remember what TV ad this was used for?

[ade425mxy]

OMG this was the song Kenny Everett sampled for his Video Show!!

[buttonmonkey808]

[LouiseHM01]

Aah and i remember us all trying to say the long chant at the beginning. Love it. Can't even get this on spotify.

[kobil316SH]

Doesnt he look like ALOT like Woody from Toy Story?

[DiscordantAbsolution]

what exactly is homosexual about this

[NocturnalVagabond]

@DiscordantAbsolution :

In the middle of the song: "Maybe masked man, he a poofter, try it on with surly Tonto, Let me tell you mister lawman, Tonto doesn't mind" :)

[terryjohn]

@NocturnalVagabond WOW!

[1010joseph68]

wtf? I mean...W.T.F???

[rigmarole55]

'Mixing' on cd seems to be a comp of the 2 albums they made. Amazon has it.

[rambo4229]

a classic

[timx73]

god i remember this from when i was a kid. takes me back

[brism32]

Good and funny song; great video (for its day) In particular, from 2.02 minutes...hilarious. Here's the words:-

Tonto know that Kimosabi

Never ever have a woman (Just love his expression when he sings this line)

Tonto sometime stop and wonder

What the trip with the great white brother

Maybe masked man he a poofter

Try it on with surly Tonto

Let me say to mister lawman

Tonto doesn't mind

[jugofaceme]

nocturnal vagabond-----thanks 4 your reply no success as yet but fun trying

[jugofaceme]

anyone out there know where i can get a copy on cd

[NocturnalVagabond]

I don't know if the actual album would still be in print, or if it was even made available on CD at all. Your best bet would be to try and find a compilation of some sort.

Good luck chasing it down... :)

[TheAxelwal]

@NocturnalVagabond quantumn jump lone ranger is on the 1970s readers digest compilation cd box set

[gemear2]

@jugofaceme Probably best to pick up a 7" version on ebay and rip it to mp3 yourself. That's what I'd do.. or search on soulseek.

[m32268]

@jugofaceme

Try asking in shops specialising in locating obscure tunes. I know theres a 7 and 12 inch versions, i have both.

You could also look in second hand stores and record fairs.

[Mr1ROYHUGHES]

@jugofaceme

[terryjohn]

@jugofaceme nope best bet like me get a vinyl copy then tape it then put on computer then download it.

well that his what i dun with my 6000 vinyls

[mrcarfan9000]

at **** last i found it

[hricardojh]

I know a really long word its a diesease and it goes

"newmonultramicroscopicmilecul­ersclorosis" haha lol but great song!

[oliasdoug]

My friends & I, I'm convinced, were a few of the handful of people in south central Nebraska who were familiar with this amazing band at the time of their LP releases, and this song used to send us into fits of "lysergic" laughter. Not only is it brilliant musically & lyrically, it showcases vividly what a brilliant musician (not to mention the other guys), vocalist & producer Rupert Hine was. SO glad you posted this; had no idea it even existed!!! Hiyo, SILVER!

[Hyduk87]

What comes after the "tanatahu" part? I hear him say more, but I can't for the life of me find what it is.

[petermcintyre100]

@Hyduk87 That bit bit confuses me as well. Typically, the lyrics on the inner sleeve, are often mis-spelt, or, missing. Reciting it was once a party piece of mine!

Sad eh:-)

NICE! You rock! Where'd you find it??? I was looking forever trying to find it, but every lyric site only contains the first part, thank you!!!

[mtfbmx]

@Hyduk87

Actually i found it on the QJ wikipedia page

[bradmorris67]

@mtfbmx : please tell me you googled that, and didn't try to transcribe it yourself....

[mtfbmx]

see above

[00mummy00]

[ametalkettle1]

[HeyDummyDummy]

I watch this 3-5 times a week! At first it was just for the novelty of cheese... But now I can't get it outta my head!

[tacticalbattledroid]

[starvingandknackered]
