GI Joe - Closing Credits (1985)

[@ShermerHighSchool]

THAT closing credit tune is pure magic. It instantly puts a smile on my face and gets me back to that wonderful time where G.I. Joe, Transformers, Real Ghostbusters and Masters of the Universe played back to back EVERY day! I'm not sad because it's over. I'm glad because I lived it :)

[@cw9627]

Damn well said!

[@troyandrew6154]

And thundercats

[@joshuakline1435]

I think the Marvel/Sumbow indent at the very end is easily a top 5 best logo id's ever! Rankin Bass from the early 70s is the greatest

[@kevinpaige4902]

Don't forget ThunderCats!!

[@HooksGambit]

I don't know why.. I am 30 years old now and a classical pianist and still this half minute is the most significant piece of music in my life.

[@ascprabhu]

can you cover this on piano, gambit?

[@clsrocks007]

Now u 40 n still Yo Joe!

[@zippityzop]

It's just that darn cool. That's why! Now get down and give us 20 solider. YO JOE!

[@HabranHernandez-hx8nc]

Eso digo yo ese intro lo pongo por la música y el Ninja Blanco a pesar que era malo era muy buen ninja luchador

[@new_kingdom8679]

​@@HabranHernandez-hx8ncYes Storm Shadow was soon Cool 👍

Everytime I hear this, I wanna go back in time!

[@MrFav3]

For some reason that shot of Bazooka falling at the :11 sec mark is my strongest memory of that show. I LOVED GI JOE when I was a kid.

[@ceeze9923]

Brings me back to my childhood every time I hear this theme song. GI JOE!!!

[@kubazenigma2587]

Simply the BEST ending credits. PERIOD!!!

[@CorporalDanLives]

This song always made me so sad... Because it meant GI Joe was over for the day.

[@Synn12356]

Yeah me too and they don't make cartoons as they used to be sadly. I wished I grew up in the 1980 and 1990 to watch these amazing cartoons when they showed up on television. Gi Joe is like my second favorite cartoon show up to date only with number 1 being the X men the animated series of 1992. It was honestly really close lol.

[@DonnieDarko1]

Lol, same here. But for whatever reason from the 0:26 part made me feel like while the episode came to an end for the day, it somehow signified that the greater battle was yet to be completed, mission wasn't over just yet that now I had a part, now I had to pick up the mantle where they left off, each of us had to do our little part somehow to ensure success only if we remained committed. Lol, all this going threw my mind while waiting to be picked up as a tiny kid from Cardinal Spellman. God, they really don't make em like they used to. It was just a cartoon, albeit a really good propaganda but it really left an impact on me till now, for a lot of us. I think that emotional residue molded a lot of us well into our adulthood, maybe partially explaining our motivations and life goals, what's shaped our morality, our sense of justice and possibly for the few of us, causing some turmoil grappling with the contradictions and inconsistencies that will be soon faced into adulthood as informed citizens learning of history and where we may have fallen short of those values.

[@kenobob]

This and "Real Folks Blues" from Cowboy Beebop are my 2 favorite credits songs of all time. YO JOE!

[@draeke8080]

See you space cowboy

[@CGJ7755]

The ending fanfare just sounds too cool.

[@simlaurel]

The part at the end where Stormshadow is jumping down onto Quickkick is the shit

[@lblackwood95]

Had this as my ring tone back in 2013!

[@westoaklandtee]

Probably explains why Excalibur is one of my fave episodes

[@gonzalosanchez9703]

Eso digo yo.que la música se acomoda con las imágenes y es por excelencia mi episodio favorito.y a pesar del tiempo.mw sigue gustando este intro.haata el final de mi vida

[@kaseygarrison3811]

Makes me feel proud that my dad and uncle were big fans so I could experience it in some way as well

[@sneakyquick]

Wow im 44 now still remember watching it

[@yodathehutt1557]

This instantly brings me back to my childhood living room. Getting ready for the next show, having a snack. This is burned into my memory

[@karthikkrishnan4681]

Such a superb and splendid track.

[@JUTIAPAGUATE1357]

80s forever, my time........

[@Fdux]

Cheers for 80s kids….golden happy days

[@kubazenigma2587]

Just plain awesome. YO JOE!!!!!

[@Ironjagg]

quick, to the time machine !!

[@MrPisster]

How did these 80s shows always get the ending credits to seems melancholy and reflective while keeping the same tune as the intro?

[@JosephRoan]

MrPisster I know what you mean. There is sort of a reflective quality to this tune. The music on kids shows now is completely unsubtle and obnoxious.

[@XiaoFury]

They learned from the guys back in the 70s, 60s and 50s. My folks got me hooked on classic films - they did the same with the music way back then.

[@TokusatsuGamingfan]

@Dak Lamerbusch That was from the 1989 series produced by DIC Entertainment.

[@LizzyHedgehog]

I used to watch this Weekday mornings before school

[@kennethdemuchest5171]

For me weekdays in the afternoon.

[@draeke8080]

I haven’t seen too many musicians chime in, the drum beat on the closing credits is so cheesy but yet it’s iconic at least representative of the era, it still makes me laugh to this day. And to whoever said that they emulated the style of closing credits from the 50’s 60’s and 70’s ya I think you’re right, I’d be inclined to agree at least.

[@tehshingen]

All we are missing is a dude saying “GI Joe is filmed before a live studio audience” near the end lol

[@tylongkicks8821]

Tubi has all seasons of GI JOE

[@rohandante]

Great man ...!!!

[@MDthornton83]

@David315842 I agree. It does sound pretty epic. Both the vocal and instrumental versions of it. I would have liked to hear a modernized version of it used for the live action films.

[@tronstricklin880]

Noooo where is the lesson learned part " now I know n knowing is half the battle G I JOOOOOOOOOOE. My fav part

[@oviyahelen3501]

high time somebody started a good cartoon channel!!. retelcasting the old 1960s, 1970s and 80s cartoon is all what we need!!.. ben 10 etc is big shit! latest ones are nowhere near creative! wonder what they are doing with all those prints. saving them for what??..should telecast them... people seriously miss those shows. Fantastic four, power zone's bird man, space ghost, mightor, centurions, gi joe, robotech, TMNT etc... Y wont they do it?? those were legends beyond imagination... Y wont they let the public enjoy their leisure time really with some satisfaction properly??..

[@joshuakline1435]

The first full season of GI Joe and The Revenge Of Cobra (slighty different closing) Mini Series closing theme is pure magic alongside one of the greatest logo indent ever... Marvel and Sunbow!

[@TN-jb4jk]

Storm Shadow’s closing was always epic for me.

[@Wimplo86]

Storm Shadow with Excalibur. One of my favorite episodes!

[@georgesykes394]

*music hits* 3 yr old me: “MOM! REWIND PLEASE!!!”

[@jeanemlicar]

I wish they still made cartoons look dope in America 🇺🇸 today like they did back in the day’s. 👩‍🎨 would put their heart and soul’s into their work. Now a day’s if you wanna good cartoon,you gotta look at Japan 🇯🇵 for Manga.

[@jedijones]

@David315842 Well they didn't use the classic Superman theme in Man of Steel either, so I think it's just a director's choice rather than a problem with the rights. Also since Hasbro was able to use the music on the cartoon DVDs, rather than replace it as some music from old TV shows gets replaced on DVDs, it would seem they have the rights to it already. Also, Rob Walsh is still alive and active in music production. He wanted to get his 1980s TV music released on CD at one point but the project seems to have stalled.

[@BlackAM]

omg i miss them day's

[@cwing1028]

When this would end I’d turn it to the USA cartoon express and watch their stuff or Donald Duck presents if it was on. I miss those times. So simple

[@chrisrj9871]

Probably 3-6 seconds in is when the goofy low-voice announcer-guy, from the local affiliate, tells us what cartoons are coming up next or soon. It's weird to hear the entire piece of music

[@ivanbond5209]

The 9 people who disliked this must smoke rocks.

[@David315842]

@MDthornton83 Probably because it was also used in the intro, but with the vocals in tact, and since it was a movie, it was made to sound more epic then the standard G.I. Joe theme.

[@Pwj579]

Most of the scenes in the closing credits/outro were from Season 1 episodes "Funhouse" S1E12 and "Excalibur" S1E35.

[@nihar2009]

That wonderful momment when you realise the music dudes on this and Dungeons and Dragons are the same .

[@JKHGAMING]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE!

[@Maeden]

Does anyone have a clearer/looping version of this? I heard it over the DVD menu but can't find that version without ripping it myself.

[@MDthornton83]

@David315842 Yeah, that's it. I don't know why. For me that stands out more.

[@northernirelandukiployalis4724]

How did we go from awesome shoes like this and the Transformers to the crap im hearing my friends and mum complain about how annoying it is.

[@David315842]

@MDthornton83 Obtaining the rights may have been tricky, like the Bayformers movies, they didn't really bother using the original Transformers theme song did they? I guess it's easier just to come up with their own music then try to wrestle the musical rights from the estates of Robert J.Walsh and Johnny Douglas.

[@Yumichan-mn5yk]

This end tune is okay for me. But I think the other end theme from 1987 sounded darker and better.
