Fireball XL 5 INSTRUMENTAL theme

This is the instrumental end theme from Barry Gray for the series FIREBALL XL5. Sound remixed by me!

Here are the lyrics:

I wish I was a space man.
The fastest guy alive.
I'd fly you round the universe,
In Fireball XL-5.
Way out in space together,
Compass of the sky,
My heart would be a fireball,
A fireball,
Everytime I gazed into your starry eyes.

We'd take the path to Jupiter,
And maybe very soon.
We'd cruise along the Milky Way,
And land upon the moon.
To our wonderland of stardust,
We'll zoom our way to Mars,
My heart would be a fireball,
A fireball,
If you would be my Venus of the stars.

I have a very rare instrumental version of this theme released in the US only, and its the full version without vocals by Gerry Grant, its superb, will upload when I can find a way of doing so without video footage. Anyone know how I go about uploading just a music track? Thanks. By the way this version is fab, thanks for the upload.

Cool! I'd love to hear that! When you want to upload a musical element, you've got to make a video in order to be accepted in the You Tube process. Just use a picture of Fireball XL5 to go along your tune. You can't upload a music without some video.

Right, thanks for that, so if I camcord the record playing that should be ok? Trouble is my camcorder is the old tape style and not digital, just wondering what the sound will come out like, will give it a go soon.

Don't bother recording a video with analog equipment. Too much trouble. Just pick a nice picture and start a Windows Movie Maker projet were you can drop that picture in the video track and stick your instrumental tune to the audio track. This will create a video that will allow you to upload in You Tube. Good luck.

Thanks, I'll experiment soon then. All the best.

You're welcome! Don't forget to invite me to see your video when it's available on You Tube. You could also link your video to mine! Why not. :-)

When this aired on Teletoon (The French Canadian one) some episodes had the instrumental theme while others had the french theme.

I like this fusion of the original instrumental version and a new melody very much. It kind of grows on you.

Lo veía en Televisión Española en1962 o 1963 cuando tenía 5 años. Es de los primeros recuerdos que tengo del Capitán Marte, que era el nombre de esta serie en España. Por favor, alguien sabe dónde ver un capítulo en español? estoy en fjperex@terra.es. Gracias
