Fire On High - Elo (Youtube Edition) Full

[jhunter1163]

5:13 You gotta be kidding me with those drums. No human being can move his hands that fast.

[ElijahTheCreator]

This song is terrifying.

[grozar1]

I believe the the da-da-de-da-d-da portion was used

as the intro for the "NBA on CBS" which filled the Sunday

time slot once the NFL season ended in the early 1990's,

[assm360]

@ihatestupidsignups is audacity safe to use?

[Couldnotdisplayname]

@assm360 yeah, it's just audio editing software

[ashleyleighcosentino]

CBS Sports Spectacular not ABC

[sinshiro]

why do I see 'girl and a horse' in the suggested videos ? :P

[TheGeckzilla]

@DJLoressa: Actually, it was the intro to the CBS Sports Spectacular, not ABC Wide World of Sports

Not sure of the name of musical flourish, but the narration over it was Jim McKay: "Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sport... the thrill of victory... and the agony of defeat... the human drama of athletic competition... This is ABC's Wide World of Sports!

[DJLoressa13]

@TheGeckzilla Yes...it was on ABC Wide World of Sports with Howard Cossell

[SuperPhotoMike]

the music is reversible but time is not....

[ihatestupidsignups]

@SuperPhotoMike I have that as a ringtone.

[SuperPhotoMike]

@ihatestupidsignups who's your provider?

[ihatestupidsignups]

@SuperPhotoMike ATT but I made the ringtone myself with Audacity.

[SuperPhotoMike]

@ihatestupidsignups Cool, I guess I might have to get Audacity...Thx

[ARRR8]

The intro, played backwards, says "The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back! Turn back! Turn back! Turn back!"

[ReneeNme]

KSHE 95 classic.

[Maximonious]

The best version of this showed the sun and space and so on... or something like that... That one was much better... wish I could find it

[DJLoressa13]

This was on ABC's Wide World Sports back in the day...

[ASADAAAAAAMA]

@DJLoressa13 , Yeah, I was wondering as to why this song seemed so familiar.Thanks for the boggle.

[DJLoressa13]

Subliminal messages were the schnizit...

[Supercharge87]

This song would not be out of place in a haunted house. I'm gonna play it if I'm the one who ends up giving out candy to kids on Halloween next year.

[BboyMullet]

Like if Gamblerz 2004 took you here

[bboyLeandroiD]

@BboyMullet YEAAH

Seabreeze Gyrosphere -- YESSSSSS!

[Gigaspine7]

"The music is reversible. But time, is not."

[pipebo]

Give a shout out if you also know this song as the "Seabreeze Gyrosphere song"

[ClassicRockMan31294]

This is my favorite ELO song.

[Geezaarz]

Heard this on the radio last nite and it freaked me out cuz the turn back sounded like my last name (Caviness) being called in a painful distortion. Don't remember ever noticing it back in the day. Once it got on into the song I was pretty sure it was ELO and the dj confirmed and gave the name of the song. Thanks for posting the words. The backwards t definitely has an s quality and the b has a v sound to it.

[cuckoldey]

are music is reversable! thats what it says!

[alexja83]

SCARE AND FANTASY!!!

[songs4film]

Wow, thanks for posting this entire song MakoProductions........I could not remember the drummer's name for years and as soon as I heard the opening notes "BEV BEVAN" blared all throughout my thick skull. I have the original dbl. vinyl "Out of the Blue" record and this song is only matched by the accompanying art work....Thanks, again.

[wlh1usa]

if one of you yungsterz can hook me up with a time machine...id love to go go back to 1978 please ( and in toledo ohio )

[mcul2112]

Ahhhhh....one of my favorite songs. Completely forgot about it. Can't wait to go home crank the s**t out of it thru my Cerwin Vegas. THANK YOU for posting this.....THE WHOLE THING! Hate it when people skip stuff.  Love the eerie beginning...

[OffLikeARocket]

anyone hear the ball drop and roll before the reversed talking?

[Caxerw13]

's funny, this song makes my left boob vibrate uncontrollably...

weird :S

[roadwarr]

@Caxerw13 Will gladly work on the right one for you... just for balance, you know...

[samuelskinny]

just listing to it makes my arm hurt! That is how to play a guitar 2:40-3:26 4:16-5:30 but really the end.

[Adventurestud]

When I was a kid had to share room with an older brother would play this late at night. Shiver me timbers!

[62hippydave]

the music is revesable but time isnt turn back turn back turn back

[DBR96A]

The fast part makes me bob my head and shake it at the same time!

[Shagkoosf]

Takes me back to 1980 @ Astrosphere. Nice 2 know some things never change!

[stevenredd]

17 people like their fire on low. (and I can never hear this STILL without seeing the intro to "CBS Sports Spectacular" in my head)

[StelyDn]

@stevenredd You too???

[LemmyJester]

i probably shouldn't be listening to the first 1:29 sec at night, it makes me feel like ghosts or spirits or something abnormal is circling me

[MrWtfpwn]

epic song



[SidRulz100]

I call this the ICO Trilogy theme

[a217andy]

this song is made well

[thegoldenspike]

... Shivers

[Squall1982]

First time i heard this song was at about 5 AM Saturday morning on the drive home from Vegas....considering i was in the middle of nowhere...music fit the scenery; but it was a kick ass song.

[khoham]

@Squall1982 that sounds made up ,no earthly radio station plays the gods music..

[GabeMacPHD]

When the strings instruments come in I get chills....

[nascartrekkie3and20]

I don't know if this has been covered in a previous comment, I haven't read them all. But the backwards masking at the beginning of the song says "The music is reversable, but time is not. Turn back, turn back, turn back."

[lilmittens305]

best classic rock song ever and does anyone know that aliens do exist because of bacteria?

[tim31773]

This is some hometown to me... If you dont know Seabreeze ya dont know... Thanks...

[TheVociferousOne]

@tim31773 Oh my gooddd someone else remembers!

[perpetual61]

ELO's Masterpiece !

[RatBatSpiderCrab]

I like this classic!

When I was younger I use to play this song real loud in the house and it use to scare the shit out of my bratty sister! She would cover her ears and run screaming out of the house! )=^ ]

[moparrules1968]

Some major college band should do this at halftime, it'd kick ass.

[tbu1mi]

Whats keeping you sister.

[71DJP]

One of the most underrated of all time.

[Gustaf899]

My dad and i loves Turn to stone, one summer dream and fire on high :D i love the guitar in one summr dream and fire on high :D <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

[MrMIMISEKU]

I've loved this song for years, but my radio station played this for the first time a few months ago, although they started at 1:29. I instantly knew the name of the song, probably the most reckognizable instrumental in classic rock history.

[IanTweekDP]

I've had this song in my head forever and this is the first time I've ever heard it. ???

[wordbeyotch]

Wide world of sports.

[burn19ballz]

i heard this song on the radio yesterday and i wondered for a moment if the damn thing was finally FUBAR but i kept listening and holy crap after hearing this i just had to download it.what a awesome song!

[stampede331]

I always felt that this was a reworked version the Tommy Overture. Not sure if anybody else has mentioned this. Even the drumming is very Keith Moon.

[eastportland]

Excellent.

[ArsenalFan610]

2:42 = ear-gasm

[CilverNightHigh]

1:30-5:32 is the reward for 0:00-1:29

[JonathanBRSPro]

@CilverNightHigh Dude I totally agree! Your comment should have a lot of thumbs up.

[Brewdison217]

@CilverNightHigh You must be new to progressive rock. That's the best part!

[NeeNeechan13]

Theres something about this song

[138shawn]

one of the greatest songs of all time.. to me anyways : )

[PigMine3]

Love this song!

[MollerSkates150]

All the veiws are probably coming from some of us who go through & watch it...over & over & over & over & over & over again cuz classic rock RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Onyxpelt]

@MollerSkates150 you said it xD i hate todays music and i'm only in high school, where the majority listens to todays music xD and i...choose this over todays stuff :D

[raceforpride]

When I wore youngman's clothes, we celebrated the future with this song. Vietnam was the last war of our life, and we'd never get in that kind of conflict again. With a set of JBL L-100's and some 901 Bose this song blasted a whole neighborhood and knocked the snow off the roofs. Small kids run for cover, the lady next door turned up her TV up and the cops never came. Forty years ago, what a ride, Thanks and a tear falls

[FalloutMan493]

love that first g-tar riff. skibbida beep bope bop bope bidoo

[SteveSparx]

FACE THE MUSIC

[jasonpp1973]

The version my classic rock staion plays a version that omits the intro, it starts at 1:30. Was there a shorter 45 rpm single version???

[RRMF77]

14 people have never been real high!! SO SAD BUT TO BAD!!!

[poopg3]

@RRMF77 wow..

[1971Chevelle502]

1:34 to 2:42 so epic, no wait 0:00 to 5:32 is way better

[awlgrip]

I have always

loved this song and it brings back many great memories from high school for me...!

[7outof9gone]

@awlgrip me too. Saw them in concet back in the day. Aewsome light show-and we went lit!!!!

[GradyMcGill1992]

this is the song right before the thrashers starting line up and the anthem

man i will miss the thrashers so much if they leave atlanta

best song ever

[Perallious]

@GradyMcGill1992 They already are gone. Can't wait for them to be the jets seeing as I live in Manitoba.

[DrivingRangedude88]

@GradyMcGill1992 this song used to be played at Leaf games back in the Sundin-Belfour era, right before the first faceoff of the 2nd period, that's how I got to know this song well. I didn't know the Thrashers came out to this song though...wow.

[ausimex24]

The astrosphere. <3

My childhood.

[DIELAWN123]

"The music is reversible time is not. Turn back! Turn Back!"

[dgmurray10]

anybody know what other song has a similar guitar riff to the one that starts at 2:42?

[shankthesorrow8]

@dgmurray10 i was thinking that to

[NefariousBanana]

2:42  CBS Sports Spectacular, anyone?

[radcam69]

@NefariousBanana Skier losing it on the ramp. OHHHH!

[Bigjoelildom]

Love funtown

[weardalrocks4]

@Bigjoelildom i was there wednesday the 22nd AWESOME

[scoon58]

Love this song!!!

[TheMartinrt]

I'm 51 love music give anthing a listing reckoning i no my shit, brilliant!

[wakokid2]

This song used to scare the shit out of me when i was a kid. Brilliant!

[Batshitcool]

This song makes me think of sharpening my axe. Wanna be friends? Other than that, the piece is a work of minor note, albeit a "going to the well once too often" in style. Sort of like trying to eat the 83'rd piece of fudge. It just doesn't make for that certain "craving". Where the hell did I leave that damn axe?

[lukednacht]

Is it just me or does this song remind anyone else of Assassin's Creed, especially running on the rooftops?.

[theangryprawn0420]

@takeachance071, I can totally see why you had a nightmare! LOL

[Goodatconnect4]

The beginning of this song scares the living fuck out of me but I love it.

[CallMeCrazayy]

funtown rocks... astrosphere is amazing!:D

[matthew5251995]

@fishbones1063 Yeah, I agree... But I'm 16 and rollin a joint to this song right now, so I guess MOST kids...

[TheWillandTillShow]

By far, the BEST ELO song ever made

[Syzygy60]

acid is for the weak

[MaceH1ndu]

@Syzygy60 Real men do Cocaine

[capitolemiproducer]

Kinda like Revolution 9 turn my on deadman

[naniv]

13 people are jesus freaks

[GuaranteedSanctuary]

@naniv I'm a Jesus freak and I 'freaking' love this song! :D

[JohnCTalks]

FUNTOWN!

[CainmosniMirrored]

@JohnCTalks FUNTOWN!!! FTW. I bet people have no idea what the hell we are talking about.

[lovable282ily]

@CainmosniMirrored yeesss!!! funtown splashtown usa babbyyyyy!!! go saco <333

[AndrewMC6]

@CainmosniMirrored I do! GO FUNTOWN!

[mikesylv]

@JohnCTalks haha definitly! astrosphere!!

[MissGravesBlogs]

@JohnCTalks I haven't been to FunTown since I was a kid! They seriously still have this playing on that ride?! AWESOME!

[shift2max]

@JohnCTalks

Holy shit. I went there maybe 10 years ago, and I remember this from it.

[Sinatra52]

@JohnCTalks Funtown is definitely where this song takes me to. I forgot the name of the ride but have been on it more times than I can remember ever since I was around 10. Now I can close my eyes, turn up the volume, wait for the fungi to kick in (joke) and go back too a much simpler time where a cheap ride in cased inside an over sized tent blew my mind.

[Tiffmidon]

@Sinatra52 The ride is called Astrosphere. (: I live in Maine, which is where Funtown is, so I go there a lot. :D

[keithrose4227]

If you play the beginning of the song backwards it says some crazy ass shit!!!

[fishbones1963]

a little weed goes a long way with this music!!!! TRUE ROCK!!!!! These kids today really don't unerstand.

[BasementBeginnings]

@fishbones1963 I beg to differ.

I'm 17, and ELO has always been my favorite band.

[hippiezombie]

2:42 is when it gets goooooooood

[covenstead]

We all have our favorites, and this album was definitely mine, from them. I listened to it incessantly! hahaha I'm pretty sure that the CD is out in my car, and now I know what will be going in the CD player next... Thanks for the memories, and for sharing this masterpiece.

[666jimipage]

After years of hearing this song on the radio and not knowing what it was, and of course not being able to look up an instrumental song, I finally heard it this morning on a radio which scrolls text saying what the song is. My life is now complete.

[kbrad12]

who looked up this song because they heard it on the astrosphere at funtown splashtown u.s.a. ? :)

[Dadge42]

this song is awesome

[fordrallyesportfan]

Correction: "The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back, turn back, turn back, turn back..."

[fordrallyesportfan]

He says: "The music is reversible, but time can't turn back. Turn back, turn back, turn back..." I recorded it a long time ago using Windows Sound Recorder and then reversed it. It's easy.

[sarahdoodle14]

what language is this song in? It's not scary...well partially cause I'm stupid and i dont get anything...it sounds kool. wait...their voice are backwards?? they speaking backwards???

[sarahdoodle14]

what language is this song in? It's not scary...well partially cause I'm stupid and i dont get anything...it sounds kool.

[pbmax]

Smoked a lot of dope to this song back in the day.

[rosslmoerschell]

is this in a movie. I can't figure out which one it is. I feel like I've seen it though plenty of times Like right around 2;14 its like a very dramatic scene just happened. Am I making this up or am I correct?

Any help would be grreat

[USC2587]

Everytime I listen to a great song on youtube, some dude is always commenting about he loves to trip balls to this song or smoke weed to it. Get a fucking life.

[skinnyshit8888]

Thirteen people didn't play the voice backwards.

[SavoresGirl]

This is my all time Drive Fast/Gotta Bust My Arse Working song....and Im moving today so I searched out this song, posted it on my FB from THIS LINK and turned it up LOUD!!! LOVE this tune!!! ITS AWESOME!!!!!

[omggarybuseyRULES]

I laughed at the end

[phishmango]

i remember seeing them do this live, twice, straight the first night, two hits of window pane acid the next... was awesome both times...

[katie7714]

This song used to scare the living shit out of me! Lol!

[halo667946]

@katie7714 OMGGGG SAME WHEN I HEARD THIS I WAS LIKE 8 or 9 and i got so creeped out

[takeachance071]

So, I keep a classic rock station on the radio playing when I sleep, and the night my fever broke this song played while I was half awake, thus provoking a nightmare and since my fever broke I was soaked, and I mean SOAKED, in a cold sweat, then the acoustic guitar breakdown started and things got happy until I woke up and realized my bed was now a large sweat stain.

Moral of the story: Who needs acid when you have ELO!?

[lexmark2300]

@takeachance071 is it 1055 the x?

[Wulframite]

@lexmark2300

106.5 the X? Out of Lake City, Florida?

[fifafelipe]

@Wulframite 95.5 wind fm Ocala , Florida?

[Wulframite]

@fifafelipe Been to Ocala, its been a while though

[OneWayTerrorBuffalo]

@takeachance071 Radio stations have a funny habit of playing this song in the middle of the night. Same thing happened to me only it was much trippier. I was on a 3 hour car ride home from Pennsylvania to buffalo. It was probably around 4-5 am. I had been up since 5 am that day. My dad was driving us back to buffalo. As I was in a twilight state of sleep, they had strawberry fields play, and then this song. The end of stb flds with the beginning of this song was a recipe for a heart attack.

[LILWAYNEISAFUCKNJOKE]

@takeachance071 I have "bad acid trip" dreams too sometimes but mainly the good ones :)

[madcowjr1999]

@takeachance071 do you remember what the nightmare was

[fury3600]

@takeachance071 i need both, acid and elo ;)

[ixdor94]

this song changes more than the weather in the rainforest

[kimmysmilesatyou]

On my phone i have an app and i recorded it and play it backwards and it sed the music is reversable! me and my friend didnt kno that was real! lol

[GuaranteedSanctuary]

I don't think a song has ever scared me this much before. If they put this in any horror movie, even trolls 2 (!), I'd be freaked out. Excellent song though.

[mimifilm]

this is so EPIC

[coolscape6]

still get goosebumps at the beginning

[stonerkid42o]

11 faggots have been here

[elreymaestroconjunto]

I always liked ELO’s Music as a small child growing up. Their style was different from other orchestras & bands with easy Rock & Roll Music mixed.

But my question to ELO is this. Since your music sounds so nice & easy to listen to without all that crazy hard knocking-head butting heavy metal music, then why do you have a song like "Fire On High" at the beginning of the song playing a "backwards-reverse message" & a group of people singing a "earry Alleluia" sounding very evil & devilish???

[elreymaestroconjunto]

The man in the back ground speaking very clear and evil saying;

"The Music Is Reversible

But Time Is Not

Turn Back

Turn Back

TURN BACK!!! " (Like he's struggling and dying to say his last words!!!)

Why is this? What is the purpose? What is ELO trying to tell us?

[stonerkid42o]

@elreymaestroconjunto its trying to tell us your a faggot and you ask too many questions. just listen to the fucking music.

[elreymaestroconjunto]

I ask the right questions. Things that people avoid asking because like you, you would rather keep quiet about it or its no big deal to you. Whatever the reason may be.

There's is nothing wrong asking why!!!!!!!!!!!! Be very careful what you say because youtube.com can easily take you off their site!!!!!!!!! Keep that in mind and be more polite in your comments to others.

You'd be surprised when more people are nice to you !!!!!!

[pkmask11]

I can recognise this song on radio when it gets to 2:43

[helico8]

Best song ever, by far.

[eletricmayham]

the best montage music

[friedchikn1]

this and hocus pocus are the two strangest yet awesomest songs ever and thats why there needs to be more rock instrumentals
