  • Jack Lord looked undeniably cool with that hair!!

  • 4 people need to be busted by hawaii 5-0 for crimes against good taste! LOL

  • Well played 240p, well played...

  • Jack Lord was 'THE MAN', no remake will do sorry

  • The best T.V. theme show ever. The new Hawaii 5-0 SUCKS!

  • Old good times :)

  • Jack Lord was the fucking man.

  • @sigzor85 R.I.P. Jack Lord!

  • @gva0917, now i know who they are!!

  • Who didn't love The Ventures Hawaii Five-O music? Rhetorical. Not to mention the show was great. My brother and I always looked forward to the show and I 'gotta say we loved the theme song as much as the show. As soon as we could we got The Ventures album. Thanks for a great post.

  • Mort Stevens Composer of 5 0's scores

  • The orignal version is heaps better than the 2010 version of this theme

  • @sarek1701d and a much better show than the 2010 one..... I remember watching the reruns of these with my grandmother (dad's mother) when I was a young kid in the late 80s....

  • The most iconic show theme ever !!

  • The Original Theme was by Chaquito  ( A.K.A. JOHN GREGORY ) For all you people who want to hear or download look at James Macarthur listings - he played ` Danno` by the way, you`ll see a link to the download - NOT allowed to say here though. Good surfing!

  • i was only a kid in the 70's and loved this show

  • Great! Never heard the full, unedited theme! But didn't they use the Ventures' version?

  • Hawaii Five-O was without a doubt the BEST show ever for me as a kid. My parents loved it, I loved it, we all danced to the Ventures and other great bands, my dad and I surfed together at Bondi. Jack Lord was my mum's fave man after my Dad! Then, to see Radio Birdman play their great tribute to this show, not only the theme song, was the icing on the cake at 15. Thank you to tvtestcard for this entire intro soundtrack and to all the kids who haven't seen the original, catch an episode.

  • @Bopmuir58 i feel that bro.got into surfing myself in newquay,after seeing the show.

  • awesome

  • My phone's ring :))

    Cool ;)

  • What soundtrack can I find this on???

  • This original version opening are better than the version of unsold Hawaii Five-O in 1997 and present version of 2010 !!

  • the 'lets get funky' version.

    wooo! gotta dance!

  • Luv it <3 Good version ever!... :D Jack own. lol.

  • How could anyone not like this theme, it beats anything else out there.

  • Excelent. great theme.

  • Wow, Isn't he dishy, that Jack Lord! Isn't this version of the tune credited to any particular orchestra?

    It would be worth watching re-runs of the show just to see the fashions of the day!

  • STEVE MACCGARETT!

  • Mahalo !

  • classic

  • cool

  • Book 'em Danno.

    R.I.P.

  • Great theme version. Music has always been fun....

  • viggo mortesen should remake this as he got the closest look!

  • @chinchowpowpook

    Alex McLoughlin on the new series as McGarrett isn't bad tho!! Very hot...

  • Very Catchy Tune, Classic TV at its Best.

  • this baby is long enough to play while driving by the beach with the top down

  • quelle intro !!! le meilleur solo de baterie de toute les serie de monde entier (enfin ce n'est que mon avis) !

  • YES! This is the definitive most exellent version of the BEST TV THEME SHOW EVER!!!

  • This isn't just the greatest, most epic TV show theme ever, it's also one of the greatest songs ever!

  • I just love this tune

  • Does anyone have the full series, the original

  • Great! I like the typical 'fat-brass' sound of the late 60s. How would you call this kind of music. Is it just 'jazz'?

  • Five-O Full 3:18 With Video Mort's Best.

  • who does the full version?

  • Thats Amazing! I loved this show. I seem to remember hearing at one time Jack Lord was up for the role of "Captain James T Kirk" on Star Trek, but he turned it down. Dont know how true this is, but it seems to have worked out for him and William Shatner.

  • @daviep79 Jack Lord wasn't chosen for the Captain role because he demanded 50 percent ownership of the show. Gene Roddenberry didn't have time for such demands. He was working very hard to fine tune a series concept. There was little time to waste.

    Bill Shatner was the only one who auditioned without an entourage or excessive contract demands. He showed up on time and was prepared to work!!!

    Case Closed!!!

  • jack lord was amazing in this series... they set a very high standard of musical theme... very catchy and people will remember it... H-50...

  • When the camera zooms in to Jack Lord and he turns around... that's money!

  • Just saw James McArthur in the UK oldies film, Family Robinson...my gosh! How time flies...

  • It was originall y written by Morton Stevens The ABC records released the soundtrack album around 1969 I have it.

  • its coming back to cbs in sept,i hope they did it right,have to use same theme song or it will already be a dud weve waited a long time for this i hope they dont blow it.

  • This is GREAT!

  • I never knew that there's an extended version for this theme! Thanks for this post and the accompanying video cap of the show.

  • cool this song is a legend!

  • I've never heard the long version before. THIS ROCKS!!! I played the short version on my accordion years ago, looks like I'll have to relearn to play it again. :)

  • This version is from the CD 'The Cult Files' released back in 1996 via Silva Screen Records. This version is by The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra Conducted by Mike Townend

  • !que tiempos ! con la tv con los cuernitos como antena cuando para cambiar de canal habia que levantarse y dar vuelta una manija que parecia un ruleman !zulu como kono ! kam fo (como) chin ho que tiempos carajo !!

  • who did this version of the theme?

  • I've never heard this theme before. Where did you find it?

  • how old are you it is a classic series.the song is from the ventures

  • I have heard the Ventures variant of Morton Stevens theme, but not this particular one.

  • ventures versions is not as long

  • This is not the Ventures version. The TV version predates the Ventures version.

    But I like the guitar solo on this one and I'm glad the Ventures have been inducted to the R&R hall of fame. I'm 43 & just learned this on my Fender guitar.

  • Probably Morton Stevens' best known theme (movies or television).

  • this vrersion you can really listen to riding by the beach.the show was great jack lord was a self made guy who got screwrd over by hollywood.check out james macarthur in battle of the bulge

  • He lived in a big condo in Kahala and used to run us off because we started too early at 9:00 am......how do you think he did it? He called the cops..(true).

  • was he view as an ass aka the donald or an ok guy,sounds like the second applies.he came from brooklyn ny.

  • @neweast1 He was viewed as a big time star and I think most people liked him for bringing world attention to Hawaii.He gave most of his money away after he and marie died to local charities so it has been said.

  • jack lord..the stud of all studs

  • Thanks for posting this great tune! Heard it on an AM station today and was glad to find it here. Loved this show as a kid, even though Steve McGarrett was usually a butthead. My hero was always "book em" Dan-O. Him and Chin Ho always seemed to do all the work. Of course the scenery wasn't half bad, either!

  • Steve McGarrett is Hawaii's greatest crimefighter! The best TV theme song ever!

  • Jack Lord AKA McGarrett was almost chosen as Captain Kirk instead...

  • this is wayyyyy cool

  • Absolutely incredible! Thanks for posting this.

  • HOW GREAT IS THIS???...I'll never forget..."BOOKEM DANO"

  • Where do you get it ??? Wonderful !!!

  • Great version!

    I've tried to find a full version but couldn't: keep getting the Ventures or truncated versions from the show. Thanks.

  • Rest in peace, Bob Vogel. You'll be missed.

  • Same for Morton Stevens.

  • I used to love this series way back in the 70's. Awesome theme!!!

  • good song!!

  • The best!!!

  • @Abebe345 I am with you!!!
