It was the 80s. Everything had guitar solos back then

The most incredibly underrated and undiscussed aspect of this theme tune is the way the tone and pace of the lyrics has been made to mimic the two-tone siren of a fire engine.

Much agreed . The eighties were a time of explosion in culture and music. Boy, I wish I grew in it at times. The original Thomas was the heart of my childhood and only saw the modern take on shows like Fireman Sam wnd Postman Pat. But now I appreciate the older shows always so much more and that of the themes. They are aren’t kiddish like now a days, they’re art.

When he hears that fire bell chime, Fireman Sam is there on time. Putting on his coat and hat, In less than seven seconds flat. He's always on the scene. Fireman Sam! And his engine's bright and clean. Fireman Sam! You cannot ignore, Sam is the hero next door. Driving down the busy streets, Greeting people that he meets. Someone could be in a jam, So, hurry hurry Fireman Sam. So move aside, make way. Fireman Sam! 'Cos he's gonna save the day. Fireman Sam! He's the one we adore. Sam is the hero next door. When he's fighting fires, He's always cool and calm. And everyone admires, When there's a fire alarm. The way he never tires, He always sees it through And that's true. Hey! So move aside, make way. Fireman Sam! 'Cause he's gonna save the day. Fireman Sam! He's the one we adore. Sam is the hero next door. So move aside, make way. Fireman Sam! 'Cause he's gonna save the day. Fireman Sam! He's the one we adore. Sam is the hero next door. If your kite's caught in a tree, Sam will climb and set it free. If you're stuck give him a shout. Sam will always help you out. Hooray for Fireman Sam! He's always brave and strong. Hooray for Fireman Sam! And when there's something wrong. He'll always be along To help both you and me Don't you see. He's always on the scene. Fireman Sam! And his engine's bright and clean. Fireman Sam! You cannot ignore, Sam is the hero next door. Everybody knows Fireman Sam. Dressed in his fireman's clothes. Fireman Sam! Well, we've seen him before. Sam is the hero next door. So move aside, make way. Fireman Sam! 'Cause he's gonna save the day. Fireman Sam! He's the one we adore. Sam is the hero next door. He's always on the scene. Fireman Sam! And his engine's always bright and clean. Fireman Sam! You cannot ignore, Sam is the hero next door. Come on, Sam! Fireman Sam!

Hearing this song makes me feel like I'm 5 years old again.

Definitely one of the best kids show theme songs of all time.

Put this song on for my boys earlier. It brought me away back to when I was a kid and brought back happy memories. This has got to be the best theme song ever for a cartoon show. Loved the first episodes of fireman Sam compared to the recent ones

Never watched this show, but the song and animation style remind me of my childhood, in a kids' toy/public television kind of way. :) It's a nice song to listen to on a rainy day.

Weird how chill this low tempo version is

This song goes so hard fucking hell

So glad I grew up to this version of Fireman Sam

I had original vhs videos of Fireman Sam as a kid along with Thomas the tank engine, Postman Pat, Brum, Pingu and many more. I wish I'd kept them just for the pure nostalgia since I don't have anything to play them on anymore.

I love this with all my heart :)

My happy childhood memories 🥰

I love that slap guitar in this. Sounds a lot like Sponge

A trip back to 1984/85, with the pre-Kings Cross disaster uniforms consisting of: polymer helmets(without eye shields) woollen Jackets & waterproof yellow trousers. A different world, but the best theme tune of all of the eras of Fireman Sam.

This really was the true fireman Sam not the cgi nowadays with all the character changes and everything that doesn’t make sense.
